Fight

• Buffs will wear upon entry.
• You have 30 minutes to complete this fight. The battle consists of two phases.
• As with all Mission battlefields, experience points are not lost upon death.
• Both fights are now very easy with at least level 99/117 and five trusts.

Lady Lilith:

• The first fight is against Lady Lilith.
• Possesses enhanced movement speed.
• Lady Lilith is Dark-based, and thus resists Dark-based spells.
• Her attacks are conal Area of Effect, magical, wipe shadows, and inflict a variable level of Knockback.
• Casts -ga enfeebling spells, often using Breakga.
• Uses the following abilities:
  • Petaline Tempest: Inflicts AoE Max HP Down, Max MP Down, and Max TP Down.
  • Durance Whip: Cone Attack inflicts Bind/Bio/Amnesia
  • Dark Thorn: Grants Lilith a strong Stoneskin (not Invincible) and Blaze Spikes, similar to Cerberus's Magma Hoplon.
  • Subjugating Slash: Cone Attack Dispel three buffs.
  • Moonlight Veil: AoE high dark elemental damage and Terror (after giving a short message)
    • She occasionally uses two of these abilities back-to-back.

• Uses Trance as her 1hr, during which she has access to Fatal Allure, a Charm Gaze Attack. Readying time is fairly long, so it can be reacted to and avoided.
• May cast Comet and/or Meteor at low health for 600~2300 damage.
• Has approximately 9,000 HP.

Lilith Ascendant:

• The second fight is against Lilith Ascendant.
• Lilith Ascendant will not engage until you are in range of her, allowing time to recover.
• Possesses enhanced movement speed. She is easily outpaced at normal run speeds.
• Lilith Ascendant is Light-based and resists Light-based spells.
• Lilith Ascendant has higher defense and magic defense than her previous form.
• All of her abilities are named "Dark (Element)", such as Dark Flare, Dark Quake, etc. Each does moderate damage of the appropriate element in a frontal cone, except Dark Tornado and Dark Flood, which are radial.
  • She occasionally uses two of these abilities back-to-back.
• Note that these are not magic spells, but rather elemental TP moves. Addle and Paralyze have no effect on these attacks.
• These abilities may have additional effects :

Dark Tornado inflicts Knockback and Dispels all buffs.

Dark Quake inflicts Amnesia and Bind which is especially dangerous if Lilith summons a black Gyves near your party.

Dark Freeze inflicts Terror.

Dark Burst will reset all Job Ability timers to their maximum recast (including 1hrs).

Dark Flood inflicts Encumberance and Knockback.

• Can also use Dark Moon after giving a short message. Dark Moon inflicts moderate radial damage and 30-second Weakness.

• Pets do not receive the Weakness effect.

• Under 50% she may start to use Dark Sun after giving a short message. Dark Sun is approximately 15' Death, similar to Zantetsuken.

• If timed correctly, this can be stunned, although it can be used more than once.
• It is possible to resist this attack. Pets may be unaffected.

• Susceptible to the standard spell Stun, although it will build resistance after a few casts.
• Immune to Silence.
• Can cast Banishga IV, Holy II, Dispelga, Breakga, Slowga, Graviga .
• Summons Elemental Gyves.
• Has approximately 20,000 HP.

Elemental Gyves:

• Can be summoned by either form at any point, but Lilith Ascendant is far more likely to summon them.
• The type she summons is dependent on the Dark (Element) TP move she uses.
• They have fairly low HP and will despawn after 30-60 seconds.
• These do not move, attack, or cast, but create an "aura" effect on anyone close by the Gyve.
• Beware of Lilith Ascendant's TP moves, which can inflict Bind. This is especially dangerous if bound near the black Gyves.
• Effects vary by color::
  • Red gives Burn and Attack Down. One appears after Dark Flare.
  • Cyan gives Frost and Magic Attack Down One appears after Dark Freeze.
  • Yellow gives Rasp and Defense Down. One appears after Dark Quake.
  • Green gives Choke and Evasion Down. One appear after Dark Tornado.
  • Blue gives Drown and Magic Defense Down. One appears after Dark Flood.
  • Purple gives Shock and Accuracy Down. One appears after Dark Burst.
  • White gives Dia and Disease. Two appears after Dark Sun.
  • Black gives Bio and a 5 second Doom effect. One Appears after Moonlight Veil (during the first form) or two after Dark Moon.
• Magical damage to Lilith Ascendant is reduced by 15% if at even just one Elemental Gyve is present.
