when you get to level 20, you need to fight against the ifrit in a main quest named the bowl of embers in ffxiv. this is a dungeon that can only be completed by making a team. as soon as you get into the dungeon, you will have to face the boss, and all the players will be besieged in a big flaming circle. it seems to be very dangerous.
commence the battle when you are ready! it is advised that the tank directs one direction, the other three players take charge another direction, and in this case there will be less possibility to be damaged.
the red circle shown in the above image is one of the main attacking means of ifirt. keep away from the light spots on the ground, although you will not be killed instantly when stepping on it, it will consume you a lot of hp, and this will burden your healing class. another aspect you need pay attention to is that the boos can spit fire, the tank can handle it, other classes just keep away from the fire.
when ifrit has 50% hp left, he will summon an infernal nail. there is one key detail to note. if you don’t kill it within 30 seconds, the boss will do a roomwide aoe which will hit everyone for over 1000 damages. in this case you will have to start it again. if the infernal nail is burned down, this attack will onl hit for around 200 on each players. if someone's hp is only 200 left, you should heal him in advance, or he will die.
when the ifrit has only 20% hp, you need to pay attention to the aoe, the remote classes need to keep away from the boss (basically the place in the red circle). the boss will do two attacks successively, one attack is at hand, and another attack is in peripheral. if you are not that careful, the whole guild will be killed.
the part above is about the guide to fight for the ifrit. as long as you pay attention to the aspects mentioned above, it is very easy to complete this quest. more guides to help you get through dungeons and get ffxiv gil will be shared in the following updates.
