1.1.1 update is already up and came with a
lot of changes and balances to the table however, among the latest additions what shines the
most is the awaited Lucilius Raid. A level 200 raid that rewards players with
a new Sigil Line that can substantially increase our offensive prowess. However, this raid can be difficult if it
is going to be your first time. I am the Samurai and this in video, I will
be breaking down all of Lucilius' Attacks and Mechanics concisely for you to be equipped
in the upcoming fight and ultimately save time and farm the latest Sigils available. Paradise Lost
Lucilius' deadliest and most difficult mechanic, a common cause of party wipes. First thing first, I will be breaking down
his attacks according to the order of the fight. In this manner, you will know what to expect. Starting with the first attack and this is
by far his most difficult mechanic of all, which is Paradise Lost. In this major mechanic, Lucilius will spam
lasers that become damaged puddles on the ground. Along with long laser beams that come from
different directions. This mechanic is mostly the cause of party
wipes in most cases. To survive this, Simply avoid the puddles
by staying on the move and running across the arena. However, the tricky part is the straight laser
beams that randomly spawn out of nowhere. Dodge this by observing the arena around you
and observing purple lights that shine on the arena. From where the purple light shines, this indicates
where the laser beams will come from. These lasers can easily one-shot players and
it is pretty hectic if you don't know what to do. Or your party can easily survive this Mechanic
if Vane is around. Using the Rampart will save the party in the
entire duration of Paradise Lost so Vane users will surely shine again in this raid. Normal Attack Phase
Where Lucilius does a lot of normal attacks. After the first Paradise Lost, he will start
using his normal attack combinations and do a quick breakdown for each and every one of
them. Heavenly Orbs
Multiple dropping orbs from the heavens Lucilius will pull the entire party towards
him and summon a magic circle above our heads and rain down orbs. To dodge this attack, do a perfect dodge when
the orb hits or dodge toward him since the inner set of orbs near Lucilius will drop
first. Note that these orbs can inflict SBA sealed
so keep that in mind. Spreading Orbs
Lucilius unleashes Spreading Orbs towards his surroundings. The next attack on the list is Spreading Orbs. You can easily determine this attack if Lucilius
pushes all of you away from him and after this move, he will unleash spreading orbs. Like the first attack, simply dodge towards
him and you can easily survive this attack. Heavy Sword Rush Swings
Single Target Sword Combination Attacks This attack starts with a shockwave and later
on Lucilius will gap close to the target and deal heavy sword swings. This attack deals a lot of damage but one
can easily dodge this since Lucilius tends to target a single entity while doing this. Get around him and deal damage on his blindsides
to avoid the attacks. Donut AOE Sword Flurries
Wide AOE Sword Flurries around Lucilius. On to the next attack which is Donut AOE Sword
Flurries. You can determine that Lucilius will do this
attack if his swords will slowly spin around him. This means that he is readying to deal with
a wide AOE sword slash. The safe spots are either outside of the AOE
range, meaning you will disengage from Lucilius as far as you can, or dash towards him since
the actual location of Lucilius is a safe spot making a donut shape attack AOE range
hence the name and FFXIV players can relate. I advise rushing towards him since you can
deal extra damage while he does this mechanic. Strong Quick AOE Sword Flurries
One of the hardest attacks to dodge. The next attack would be a Strong Quick AOE
Sword Flurries. This is probably the hardest attack to avoid
since it can be cast by Lucilius pretty quickly. Look carefully as Lucilius starts to release
a red glow or aura and emit a bright red light. Signaling players to dodge. If you are not confident in perfectly dodging
this attack, disengage immediately from him immediately. I am trying to learn this attack as well. I tried to block this attack as well but my
guard breaks every time so I tend to rely on dodging the attack. Sword Projectiles
Lucilius will let his swords pierce the ground and create fissures. Moving on to the next attack which is Sword
Projectiles. He rarely does this at least from our experience
so far but it's there. This attack will let his sword target an entity
and pierce it with his sword. If the swords hit the ground, it will create
a mini fissure. Players can easily avoid it by dodging on
a safe spot. Strong attack but easy to avoid. Summoned Crystals
Lucilius will summon stationary crystals that explode. The next attack on the list is Summoned Crystals. Lucilius will summon multiple stationary crystal
towers in the arena which explode when an entity is nearby. To avoid this, simply don't go near any of
these crystal towers. However, be mindful of these towers as there
are times that Lucilius will locate himself near these crystals and it is likely that
you will unintentionally activate these Crystals. Laser Cleave
Fast laser cleave that can one-shot players. The last normal attack on the list is the
Laser Cleave. We've already seen this attack from Bahamut
Versa but this time it is faster. Time in your dodge carefully since this attack
will sweep the whole arena. Seven Trumpets Mechanic Now that the normal attacks are out of the
way, let's move on to his major mechanics. When Lucilius' health reaches 80 to 85%, he
will do his second major mechanic which is the Seven Trumpets. It is divided into three different phases
and the first one is Punishment Phase. Punishment Phase
Color Hunting, chasing phase It is seriously confusing at first, especially
if you notice the icons below the Punishment Attack Gauge. Simply put these are just the orders of Lucilius's
Seven Trumpet's Phases so you can basically ignore this and focus on the mechanics. It is easy to deal with this mechanic, just
pick a color of choice when the mechanics start. Afterwards, more of the same color that you've
chosen will start to appear and you need to chase and step on them as soon as possible
while dodging moving arena-wide ring attack Avoid the purple or dead-colored circles to
avoid receiving damage and just focus on the chosen color. Do this four times and you and your party
will be able to clear this mechanic easily. Another tip is to observe where the circles
are traveling so it is ideal to go in the opposite direction to easily catch these circles. Holy Wings Phase
Tethered Colored Orbs. Next is the Holy Wings Phase. Hit any of the colored center orbs, and then
the chosen orb will now scatter through the small ones and you just need to find all of
it and destroy these orbs. While dodging the laser beams around you. The laser can easily be dodged by looking
at the laser pre-laid paths. Do this tactic in the succeeding orbs and
you will clear this mechanic. Trinity of Terror Phase
Summoned Weapons Phase In the Trinity Terror Phase, Lucilius will
summon three swords and each of them has different attack animations. What we usually do is to focus fire or concentrate
a single weapon for faster clear times. Each sword has its own AOE visual signals
so you can easily dodge them. There's is also donut AOE closing in to Lucilius
so be sure to dodge that one while dealing with the swords. Party Wide HP Debuff
The party will receive HP Debuffs when failed to do the mechanics properly. Note that if your party fails to do any of
the mechanics mentioned, Lucilius will debuff the whole party with Maximum HP cuts, meaning
all of the party members will have lower max HP so the fight will surely be harder. Paradise Lost Final Phase As for the final phase of this mechanic, Lucilius
will try to unleash the second Paradise Lost. But this time, players need to do an Overburst
meaning a full chain burst with Sandalphon to stop Paradise Lost completely and deal
extra damage. If the party manages to pull off an Overburst,
Sandalphon will trigger a cool cutscene and also deal extra damage to Lucilius. However, if the party was not able to do an
overburst, use something like Vane's Rampart to survive or manually dodge to survive Paradise
Lost. However, it would be difficult and possibly
can lead to huge losses. Back To Normal Attack Phase ( 75% to 60% HP
) Time to deal damage as Lucilius will use normal
attacks again. After the cool cutscenes, Lucilius will now
back into dealing with normal attacks. This is the time when players will be able
to deal heavy damage to Lucilius and in our case, this is where our Link Time usually
activates and we can easily lower his health to 60%. Lucilius Second Phase ( 60% HP below )
Lucilius will unleash his second phase cast Final Rebellion. Lowering down Lucilius' HP to 60% will force
him to change to his second form. Giving him access to new sets of mechanics. Subscribe But before the next tip, if you are into straight-to-the-point

Lucilius will cast his first Final Rebellion Mechanic After changing to his second form, he will
then cast Final Rebellion. Where he will summon homing puddles and lasers
to damage you and your party members. To survive this, dodged the homing puddles
and lasers by moving around. Time in your dodges carefully and avoid stepping
on purple goos on the ground since it will inflict slow. This is pretty hectic at first but once you
get around it, it will be much easier. Lucilius will then finish the mechanic by
throwing a large energy ball on the arena, dodge this by standing on the outside most
of the arena to avoid the energy ball's AOE damage and simply jumping to avoid the incoming
ground shockwave. Note that the purple goos on the ground will
explode as well after the shockwave passes so make sure you stay far away from these
purple goos. Post First Final Rebellion ( 60% to 30% HP
) He will then start dealing with his normal
attacks again. After the final rebellion Mechanic, Lucilius
will then start doing his normal attacks again and this is where players can lower his health
even further. We noticed that there is a chance that Lucilius
will cast the third Paradise Lost when having 50% HP or below. What we usually do is ready at least two chain
bursts to be able to cancel it. Or else you will be dealing with it again. Second Final Rebellion ( Below 30 to 20% HP
) Another Final Rebellion After the first Final Rebellion, when trying
to lower Lucilius' health down to 30% there will be a second Final Rebellion. Just repeat the mechanics and you will do
fine. Gopherwood Ark ( 20% HP ) After successfully lowering Lucilius' health
to 20%, this is where he will do his final major mechanic which is the Gopherwood Ark. Where he will blitz across the arena but as
endgame players, these attacks are pretty much already familiar as we have seen with
Ido's fight. It's just more hectic. Make sure to avoid the line AOEs to survive
straightforwardly. Post Gopherwood Ark ( 20% to 10% HP )
Lucilius will do normal attacks while trying to cast Paradise Lost After Gopherwood Ark Lucilius will now deal
normal attacks again while also trying to cast another Paradise Lost around 15% Health. In our case, we usually have at least one
SBA charge in here to stop him from casting. So make sure your party can at least do one
SBA burst here. The End - Damage Check, Enrage
DPS Check or Enrage burst the guy down! As with any other major fights, Lucilius will
do a Damage Check Mechanic which is called The End. There is no issue bursting this guy down however,
be mindful of his swords which will try to damage you and your party members during this
mechanic. Burst Lucilius down and get that sweet clear. I had fun learning this guy and I am aware
that there are a lot of amazing strats that I have missed and this is rather a rough guide
to help new players and get them ready for this big fight. If I missed something comment down below and
