Marking the border between the Black Shroud and Gyr Abania, the legacy of Gaius van Baelsar is a towering monument to imperial tyranny. And now smoke rises from its iron crenellations. In a bid to drag the armies of Eorzea into the struggle for Ala Mhigan liberation, the Griffin and his Resistance fighters have disguised themselves in Grand Company uniforms and laid siege to Baelsar's Wall. While Alphinaud seeks to call your companions back from their now-meaningless mission of diplomacy, you must ascend the war-torn fortification by the swiftest route possible and persuade the Griffin-by force, if necessary-to abandon his reckless ambition.

Baelsar's Wall Dungeon Guide
  • Magitek Claw Targeted attack on Tank.
  • Magitek Ray Linear high-damage attack.
  • Magitek Missile Targeted high-damage explosion on marked players.

Move away from others when marked with Magitek Missile. Prioritize killing the adds when they spawn.

  •   Launcher Group-wide AoE that reduces HP by 50% of current.
  • Dynamic Sensory Jammer Damages the player for any actions they take while the debuff is active, including movement.
  • Magitek Bit Summoned Bits around room create a checkerboard AoE before disappearing.
  • Distress Beacon Summons many low-HP adds. Tank damage is significant due to quantity of adds.

Take no actions or movement during Dynamic Sensory Jammer. Be ready with heals and AoE damage during Distress Beacon adds.

  • Beak of the Griffin Room-wide AoE attack.
  • Flash Powder Players should turn away from the boss; otherwise, this attack will stun the player and reduce accuracy.
  • Sanguine Blade Leaps to one side of the room and cleaves the room in front of him for high damage.
  • Lionshead Multiple swords rain down around the arena, damaging to nearby players. After finishing the cast, the boss does a room-wide AoE, and the swords become targetable. Those will channel Corruption. Unkilled swords eventually explode, but these explosions can be avoided. Players should focus on the massive sword in the middle, which does a high-damage room -wide explosion if it is not destroyed.
  • Big Foot Marks a player and pushes them back after the cast.
  • Restraint Collar Places the party's healer in restraints, preventing all action. Kill restraints to release the healer.
  • Claw of the Griffin High-damage attack on tank.

When The Griffin casts Lionshead, kill the sword in the middle and stand in the now-vacant space. Be ready to chase boss to avoid the cleave from Sanguine Blade. Turn around during Flash Powder, and be ready to break party members out of restraints.

Steel Separating The Forest

Baelsar’s Wall is an imposing structure which divides the Black Shroud and Gyr Abania. Built at the orders of the legatus Gaius van Baelsar as a means to contain lands corrupted by primal influence, the wall’s center is dominated by the defensive stronghold of Castrum Oriens. The facilities within have been augmented numerous times, with engineers outfitting magitek workshops with production line capabilities, and accelerating manufacture of the “slasher” model warmachina.

Disguised in Grand Company uniforms, it was against this fortification that the Griffin and his Masks would launch an assault, and force a chain of events leading to Ala Mhigo’s liberation. When cornered atop the wall by Eorzea’s champion and the Scions, the Griffin did the unthinkable, draining Nidhogg’s eyes and sacrificing his own life in the final step of a summoning ritual. His actions culminated in the manifestation of the primal Shinryu, and forever skewed the course of the ensuing war to free Ala Mhigo.

Armored Weapon

Constructed within the Wall’s manufacturing facilities, the armored weapon was designed around vanguard technology, allowing the machine to be either piloted or autonomous in combat. As its autonomous functions were limited to simple orders such as “destroy all targets,” however, the unpiloted weapon was ill-suited to operations requiring any degree of subtlety.

The Griffin

This firebrand leader who seized the reins of the Ala Mhigan Resistance was later revealed as Ilberd Feare, former captain of the Crystal Braves. Through his dealings with the Ascians, the Griffin acquired the eyes of Nidhogg and drew upon their immeasurable energies to perform a primal summoning. He leapt to his death to complete the ritual, dragging down with him into oblivion the answers to a great many questions.

More

As well as presenting an imposing physical barrier, Baelsar’s Wall was built as a magitek factory and production line. Industrial cranes and other mechanical conveyances were also installed to facilitate the transport of large numbers of warmachina.
