Walkthrough

• Anyone can help on this fight, including people who have not purchased the expansion.
• Once you reach Stellar Fulcrum, you will see another Seed Fragment to the left of the stairs. Talking to it when you have all 12 stone fragments will yield an Omnis Stone, which you will need to enter the BC.

• Check the door for a cutscene, and then get ready for the BCNM battle. Buffs will wear off upon entry. This is a 6-person BCNM fight with a time limit of 30 minutes. Reraise does not wear if you are booted from the arena after a wipe.
  • Note: You lose the Omnis Stone upon entering the BC. If the mission fails, you will have to climb the tower under the Level 30 cap and collect the 12 stones again. Only one Omnis Stone can be held at a time.

• The fight is against the Seed Crystal. Similar to Alexander, the Seed Crystal remains stationary in the center of the BC.
  • It is possible to avoid Seed of Judgment by standing against the door behind the entrance. It has a maximum distance of 16'. An alternative is to have all mages and damage dealers stand in the corners at the back of the BC.
  • The Seed Thrall spawned by the Seed Crystal have extremely low HP; it is recommended to take them out immediately.
  • All offensive normal and special attacks deal AoE magic damage around the Seed Crystal, with varying ranges.
  • Seemingly has no front or back, making it impossible to Sneak Attack.
  • Resistant to many enfeebling spells, like Slow and Silence, but is susceptible to Stun most of the time (can be resisted). However, it is resistant to Head Butt's stun effect.
• In the event of a wipe, you can reraise and recover without being booted from the BC so long as you wipe out of aggro range far enough from the Seed Crystal. Usually, on top of the ramp works best. Be warned, however, that the crystal usually regenerates its HP up to 100% within a minute of a wipe. Depending on your strategy, party setup, and time remaining, it may be best to leave the BC and collect another Omnis Stone.

Seed Crystal Information

Uses the following moves & magic:

• Magic: Stonega/Waterga/Aeroga/Thundaga/Firaga/Blizzaga III
• Draw In
• Seed of Nihility: AoE Damage (~200-400).It also causes all job ability timers on all party members to be set to their maximum recast within range of the move. This includes 2hr abilities. This ability will not affect charges for Stratagems or Quick Draw.
• Seed of Deference: AoE Charm and Mandragora Costume. It has a short range.
• Seed of Deception: Makes a clone of targeted player. The clone will be called Seed Thrall and it will attack the player that has hate. Uses this move quite frequently.
• Seed of Judgement: Knock-back AoE (~700-1300 Damage). Utsusemi did not prevent knock back but did absorb damage from this attack. It can only use it below 50%. Unstunnable (will use immediately after it is no longer stunned.)

Other Notes

• Physical Defense is rather high. A well geared MNK75 was hitting the Seed Crystal for roughly 20-50 Damage per fist. Summoners appear to do roughly 630 DMG with Predator Claws. Ranged Damage doesn't seem to be very gimped.
• Magical Defense seems high. A BLM75 with a few HQ gears landed 3 Blizzard III's for roughly 170 Damage each.
• The Seed Crystal has very low evasion. Suggested that BRDs and CORs use buffs to give something other than Accuracy, and for DDs to use Atk/R.Atk food instead of Acc/R.Acc food.
• Blue Magic seems to be unresisted by the Seed Crystal.

Walkthrough for Reacquisition

• Turn in the Ebon Key previously received and wait the next Japanese midnight. If this is in your inventory, you will not be able to start the BCNM, and the Omnis Stone will not be consumed when entering the BCNM.
• Repeat the acquisition of the Omnis Stone. You must do the Level 30 climb, recollecting the stones.
• Drop your current body armor. This can be done at any time before entering the BCNM.
• Repeat the BCNM fight in Stellar Fulcrum to receive a new Prismatic Key.
• Talk to the coffer in Tenshodo and turn Prismatic Key.
• Reselect your reward.
