Bridges | A Late Night Reborn

Overview

After defeating Dead Stars, the raid splits into two groups: letter parties (A, B, C) take the left bridge, number parties (1, 2, 3) take the right. Both sides navigate four zones filled with hidden traps and enemies before converging at the Marble Dragon arena.

Wild Charge fires in Zones 1, 2, and 4. It deals AoE damage with significantly increased damage to the player at the front. Always have a tank at the front and ensure everyone mitigates. A different tank must lead each subsequent Wild Charge as it applies Piercing Resistance Down. Wild Charge is taken on the two inner middle lines, so listen to your caller for positioning.

ℹ Most of this encounter can be handled by listening to callouts.

Zone 1

Progression:
- Wild Charge: Tank in front, everyone mitigate.
- Interrupt casts from the Tower Bhoot (Paralyze III).
- Damage down the Aetherial Ward in parallel with the other side.

Zone 2

Progression:
- Wild Charge: Tank in front, everyone mitigate.
- Thieves move ahead to find the trap near the Aetherial Ward. Rangers defuse when safe and the raid leader calls for it.
- The Tower Abyss casts Diffuse Darkness, granting a buff. The Phantom Time Mage must Occult Dispel this before the second cast finishes.
- Damage down the Aetherial Ward in parallel with the other side.
- Rangers can fish for traps on the far side while the Ward is being attacked.

☠ If the Diffuse Darkness buff is not dispelled before the second cast, the resulting damage will kill most of the bridge.

Zone 3

Passage 1:
- Wild Charge: Tank in front, everyone mitigate.
- Thieves move ahead to find 2 traps near the Tower Idols. Rangers defuse when safe and called.
- Once all 6 Tower Idols have begun casting, the Phantom Bard uses Romeo's Ballad to stop them all.
- The Geomancer on the right side uses Suspend and presses the button on the blue walkway.

☠ All 6 Tower Idols must be casting before Romeo's Ballad is used. Stopping any Idol before it begins its cast will cause it to resume after the freeze, leading to a wipe.

Once the Tower Idols are killed and the right-side button is pressed, a walkway opens for the left team; both sides progress together:

Passage 2:
- Thieves move ahead to find 2 traps (1 large, 1 small) near the Tower Bhoot. Do not defuse these.
- Move enemies away from the traps and interrupt casts from the Tower Bhoot (Paralyze III).
- The Geomancer on the left side uses Suspend and presses the button on the blue walkway, dodging traps on the way.
- Thieves move ahead to find 2 traps (1 large, 1 small) on either side of the forked path.
- Rangers defuse only the small trap on both sides.

Zone 4: Progenitor & Progenitrix

ℹ Tanks & Healers: auto-attacks from both bosses hit hard. Maintain active mitigation throughout.

Boss Mechanics:
- Thieves move ahead to find the large trap (do not defuse). Tank leads Wild Charge in front.
- Close Call to Detonate (blue tether): Move bosses to outside edges of bridges to separate them.
- Far Cry to Detonate (green tether): Move bosses to inside edges to bring them close together.
- Bombshell Drop: Move boss away from tethered Lava Bombs while DPS destroy them. Keep boss at end of bridge for 1st set; bring boss back for 2nd set.

Mechanics will now loop. A firewall spawns from the south; dodge it. Repeating sequence:

Sequence:
- Close or Far Cry to Detonate
- Stack Marker: everybody stack together on the wall
- Bombshell Drop

Phantom Job Responsibilities

✦

Thief

Communicate with your Ranger if they are going to blind-fish for traps.
Where the paths split: standing in the middle right before the split reveals both the large and the small trap.

✦

Ranger

Talk to your Thief if you want to blind-fish for traps.

✦

Bard

Stand at the outer side of your bridge.
The AoE from Romeo's Ballad is massive, so do not stop the adds from the other bridge early.
