Bitter End
Cleaving Tankbuster
Gilgamesh sweeps the area in front of his main target.
Avoid being in front of him if you’re not a tank.
Walk up to your partner to return to normal.
Chicken
Gilgamesh turns players into chickens.
Various players can become chickens at once, including healers, so be careful.
Chickens return to normal after a few seconds, but they should touch the tornados around the room.
Woken Wind
Tornados appear around the room, knocking up and damaging players severely if they touch them.
If chickens touch the tornados, they won’t take damage and the tornado disappears.
They’re still knocked up, though.
Turbulence
AoE
Gilgamesh explodes any remaining tornadoes, causing huge damage to the whole party.
Can lead to a few deaths if people are at low health.
During the second phase,Gilgamesh uses some of the same attacks from before, with notable additions.
Icewind
Gilgamesh creates ice lines on the floor, leaving only small squares as safe spots.
Dodge to the safe squares as needed.
Enchain
Gilgamesh targets a healer and, after a few seconds, locks them down in chains.
Staying near Gilgamesh makes the chain more resistant to damage.
Kills the target withHell’s Gateif they’re not freed.
Swords Dance
Multi-hit attack on the main target.
Don’t stand in front of Gilgamesh if you’re not a tank.
Dragon’s Head
Summons four Dragon Heads around the arena.
Each of them usesDragonfire(Line AoE), and will explode withDragonstrikeif they’re not killed in time.
Bloomshower
Arena AoE
Various purple AoEs appear throughout the arena.
Find the safe spot between them.
He always does it twice in a row, hitting the opposite zone at the second time.
Giga Jump
Gilgamesh jumps into a random player, causing AoE damage around the target.
Immediately after, he dashes back to the main tank withMasamune.
Players must focus them down as soon as they appear to avoid massive damage.
The chains can also be a problem if the healer stands too close to Gilgamesh.
It won’t be long until Gilgamesh is, once again, defeated.
This time for good.
Another notable side rewards areEerie Soundwave, Missile, and White Wind skill for Blue Mages.
