Walkthrough[]
- You must go to La Vaule (S) to enter a battlefield event at Reinforced Gateway (F-9). If you cannot get C.A. teleport to it, closest telepoint is the Jugner Forest(S) Survival Guide.
- In order to access the battlefield, all members must have the Tigris Stone key item, which is dropped from any Orc in the zone (excluding notorious monsters).
- Defeat the four Orc NMs: Darkheir Grradhod (SAM), Malicearm Razbhobb (MNK), Slitherword Razghogg (BLM), Gorepledge Rozzbrezz (PLD)
- An Armoury Crate will appear after they are defeated.
- Report back to Rasdinice to receive your reward.
Notes[]
- This Campaign Ops is only available to those with Iron Emblem of Service or higher, and only when San d'Oria controls La Vaule (S)
- Everyone must have this Campaign Ops active to enter the battlefield.
- Your Campaign Ops credit and your Tigris Stone key item are consumed upon entering.
- The entrance to the battlefield is located at the gateway at (F-9). The safest way to reach it is by following the northernmost path using Invisible or Prism Powder.
- 30 minute time limit
- Just as with a BCNM, buffs will wear upon entering.
- Darkheir Grradhod seems to gain and lose benefits depending on which mobs are currently alive with him.
- If Slitherword Razghogg is alive, Grradhod will have heavy magic resistence.
- If Malicearm Razbhobb is alive, Grradhod will have a heavy Attack Bonus and will weaponskill with greater frequency.
- If Gorepledge Rozzbrezz is alive, Grradhod will have a heavy Defense Bonus.
- It is beneficial to ensure that all three supporting orcs remain dead.
- Helper mobs respawns roughly after one minute after dying.
Strategy:
- To win, only Darkheir Grradhod must be defeated. He has three helper Orcs which are much weaker, but respawn if defeated. He is a Samurai-type, and can use Meikyo Shisui.
- Buffs are cleared upon entering the battlefield.
- A good method is to have ONLY a tank approach the arena and pull with magic, then bring all four orcs to the entrance. The healer(s) can focus on the tank (PLD/NIN worked very well), and others can defeat the helpers. Each helper has relatively low HP (about 1,500). The helpers will respawn shortly after defeat, and as of a recent update, will become aggresive to the party again. (they share hate with their leader.)
- When Darkheir is defeated, the others will despawn, and an Armoury Crate will appear in the arena.
- Darkheir Grradhod has about 30,000 HP. Highly resistant to debuffs and Sleep.
- The helper orcs can be easily slept, though they begin to resist after being slept twice.
- Light Shot seemed to land the entire fight but the duration would start to decrease.
- Dispel and Elemental DoT Magic such as Drown and Rasp seem to land best on Darkheir.
- Be cautious of Darkheir Grradhod's Shoulder Charge TP move, which can deal extreme physical damage (700+ to PLD, 1500+ to melee or mage). This move is Frontal Cone AoE. do not face behind the tank without shadows.
- Tornado Edge seems to be a Cone Attack. Inflicts Max HP Down, Max MP Down and Max TP Down which must be erased.
- Darkheir Grradhod counters frequently. You may not want your tank to engage.
