The Warrior's Path

Walkthrough

 * Head to Sealion's Den for another uncapped airship fight.
 * You will have to fight and kill Tenzen.
 * Along with Tenzen, three tarutaru will spawn, Cherukiki (BLM), Makki-Cherukiki (RNG) and Kukki-Cherukiki (WHM. They are invulnerable, evading all attacks and resisting all spells.  They will, however, attack and enfeeble you, and buff and cure Tenzen.
 * Tenzen uses a Great Katana and its associated weapon skills. He also uses a crossbow for ranged attacks.
 * Tenzen will eat a Shogun Rice Ball which improves his attacks, defense, and magic defense considerably.
 * Tenzen will use Meikyo Shisui. He will then start to skillchain you. His first two weapons skills are melee attacks. His third is ranged. If he gets off that third weapon skill, he will immediately fire off Cosmic Elucidation, which does just under 900 damage AoE to everyone, and even if anyone survives, you are ejected from the battle.
 * You can bind him when he starts doing his Meikyo Shisui weapon skills, he'll eventually break the bind and keep doing weapon skills and even if it has been two minutes between his first and second, it still counts against you for Cosmic Elucidation.
 * Best option is to attack early before he uses his rice ball with all offensive 2-hour abilities (Astral Flow, Manafont, Chainspell, Eagle Eye Shot, etc.).


 * Tenzen will give up just before he will die. It is estimated you need to do between 12000 and 12500 damage.
 * Strategy tips:
 * Tenzen's food ups his defenses significantly. Try to do as much damage as you can beforehand using skillchains and 2-hours.
 * Dispel any buffs cast on Tenzen.
 * As with Snoll Tzar, focus on as much offense as you can while keeping everyone alive.
 * If Tenzen uses Meikyo Shisui, bind him and run out of range to delay his skillchain as long as possible.


 * You can't hurt the tarutarus. Ignore them.
 * Spread out to avoid AoE damage
 * The tarutarus need line of sight to hit you.
