Weaknesses come straight from the game data (they match the in-game board preview). The star ratings the preview shows for Strength / Intelligence / resistances aren't decoded yet, and attack patterns beyond the signature action aren't in the data at all — that's what the write-up below is for.

Mechanics

Taurus Piece — elite.

Suggested trio: Cu Sith, Adamantoise, Chimera — Piercing damage and lots of bulk for tanking.

Abilities

  • Mortal Ray — Doom, 25 s
  • Ruinous Ring — donut
  • Ruinous Locus — circle
  • Ray of Ignorance — an orb that pulses ever-larger circles — drop it in a corner
  • Aetherial Fissure — sigils on the east and west walls fire lines across the arena; glowing ones fire first
  • Ruinous Contraction — donut then circle

Ahriman Piece (×4)

  • Gaze — look away; applies Doom, then they become targetable

How to handle it

Four floor squares light up as you stand on them and cleanse Doom when fully lit — that’s the whole fight. Cleanse the opening Mortal Ray, dodge Ring → Locus, park Ray of Ignorance in a corner, cleanse the second Doom, then read the wall sigils for Aetherial Fissure.

Look away from the Ahrimans, then kill them. Ruinous Contraction is just Ring + Locus back to back.
