Final Fantasy 14's third expansion is here. The Endwalker expansion has new story content, two new jobs, and even new cities to visit. There is also a new dungeon for players to crawl, and this one is called Tower of Zot.
Tower of Zot Location in FF14
The Tower of Zot is located on the continent of Thavnair, west of the new city of Radz-at-Hand. In order to unlock it, players just need to play through the main story quest In The Dark of the Tower. There are three boss battles in this very linear dungeon; players will have to take on all three of the Magus Sisters to complete the Tower of Zot, a creepy-looking but pretty dungeon for FF14.
Thankfully, this dungeon is very linear, much like all FF14 dungeons usually are. So players won't need a whole lot of help with directions. However, they may need some help with the three bosses in the Tower of Zot. These three ladies can be difficult the first time players come across them.
First Sister Minduruva in Tower of Zot
In this new dungeon for the award-winning Final Fantasy 14 Online, players will come across the first boss battle. This sister's name is Minduruva, and she is all about overlapping AOE attacks. She has several of these attacks that players will have to be prepared for, and players should watch her cast bar to see which spell she's lining up next. Minduruva will transmute spells away from herself, giving the spell a new point of origin, which can change where the safe areas of the arena will be.
- Manusya Bio 3 is a massive green-colored AOE that damages anyone standing on it.
- Manusya Fire 3 is a fire spell that covers the whole arena except for a small circle around the origin of the AOE.
- Manusya Blizzard 3 makes cone-shaped slivers of ice will damage anyone standing in them, so avoid the light blue triangles that appear on the ground.
- Manusya Bio 1 is a tank-busting spell.
After leaving the boss room, make sure to keep eyes out for Treasure Coffers along the path. There are several chests waiting for players to loot them, and they will need the gear to help strengthen their characters for the grind to the new Endwalker level cap.
Second Sister Sanduruva in Tower of Zot
The second sister in this new Endwalker released content is called Sanduruva. Her fight is significantly harder than the first battle; she has several attacks that can catch the unwary player off guard.
- Keep an eye out for her line AOE. This hits each party member in turn.
- There is also an unavoidable Stop spell that stuns a character and forces them to take damage. Have the healers at ready for this attack.
- Isitva Siddhi is another Tank-Buster spell.
Sanduruva has another attack, which changes as the fight progresses. The first time she casts it, it will appear as a circle of electric orbs in a circle with one orb spot empty. Players need to stand right by the wall where the missing orb would be to avoid AOE damage. Every time after the first cast, the orbs will appear as additional Sanduruvas in a circle. Stand by the one Sanduruva that isn't moving, that is pointing her weapon at the floor, and has a different symbol next to her name. Stand behind this model against the wall to avoid the AOE damage as the rest of the Sanduruvas will turn into orbs and splash damage across the rest of the room.
There will be even more Treasure Coffers on the way to the final battle, so players should check them for Final Fantasy 14 currency and loot.
Third Sister Cindiruva in Tower of Zot
The third battle is a little overwhelming the first time. Players should keep a close eye on the floor, dodging AOE damage and keeping clear of the sisters' magical attacks. Cindiruva's first stage is just her, and she casts an unavoidable AOE to the whole party, regardless of which Final Fantasy 14 class players have chosen.
Shortly after the battle starts, the second stage will start, and Cindiruva will summon her other two sisters into the fray. The three sisters will cast overlapping AOEs and stand in a triangle formation. After that, Cindiruva will cast Manusya Reflect, then one will cast Delta Attack, then the last will cast Manusya Faith, then have a call out. There are three possible callouts, and each one indicates a different collection of attacks. Final Fantasy 14 players should be prepared for all three.
- Glacial ice, entomb our foe! - This callout will summon a proximity explosion, and players will need to dodge the explosion as well as avoid the Manusya Blizzard 3 cones. Then, players should run to the other side of the arena to avoid the second, opposite proximity explosion.
- Thunderous tempest, smite our foe! - Players will need to dodge all the AOE markers on the floor while stacking up on top of their marked companion.
- Insatiable flame, consume our foe! - This summons an AOE that covers the entire floor except for a small circle around the caster. Everyone should get inside of the donut-shaped safe space. As soon as the AOE goes off, players need to separate as quickly as possible to prevent taking damage from aura explosions.
- Players should all focus on one sister at a time and save their Limit Breaks for this final battle.
