Countless monks once shed their blood, sweat, and tears here all in the name of strengthening their bond with Rhalgr, the Destroyer. As time passed, the very route to the Inner Fist became a grueling test for those hoping to train their body and soul atop the perilous mountain. Now the time has come for you to follow in their footsteps. Accompanied by an avid scholar named Marjorie, you focus your sights on the temple and steel yourself for the trials that lie ahead.

Notes

Despite the claims of NPCs, there really aren't that many traps in the dungeon per se - most of the danger comes from mobs. That said, there are a few stone pistons on the upper pathways that you'll want to avoid. They have clearly marked AoEs though, so they're very easy to dodge.

Only other thing you really need to watch out for are the giant blobs of moss in the early phases (tripping over these inflicts Slow/Heavy for a few seconds), and the Spirit Flames in the latter stage. The Spirit Flames are non-targetable enemies and work much like the Bombfish in Shisui of the Violet Tides, except they home in on a player first.

Enemies

Bosses

The Temple of the Fist Video Guide

Coeurl Sruti is a straight forward Boss. His attack are based on claws and jumping without a marker, though he will also use an AoE around him called Radial Blaster; if you get hit by it, you gain stacks of "Magical Damage received up". Also uses the Blue Mage spell   Basic Instinct.

At around 77% he will summon his minion Coeurl Smriti who will claw and jump around like Coeurl Sruti. Instead of Radial Blaster, he uses Windblaster in a cone of aprox 150° in front of him.

Smriti has health comparable to Sruti, so you should treat this like the Giruveganaus fight in The Stone Vigil (Hard); focus on the wounded Sruti and finish him off, then engage Smriti.

Around every 20% Coeurl Sruti will cast Electric Blaster, which places purple markers on players. After a short time, there will be an AoE Thunder hit on the marker that applies "Physical Damage received up".

Arbuda is a massive, four-armed, sword-wielding statue with powerful attacks. Non-tank players should stand at approximately 45 degrees off any of Arbuda's cardinal directions; if you consider his front heading to be 0 degrees, you want to be at 45, 135, 225. or 315. This ensures you'll have plenty of time to reposition to avoid two of Arbuda's main attacks.

  • Port and Star: Massive unmarked cone AoE to Arbuda's left and right sides. Inflicts considerable damage and knockback. Stand in front or behind him.
  • Fore and Aft: Massive unmarked cone AoE to Arbuda's front and back sides. Inflicts considerable damage and knockback. Stand to either side of him.
  • Fourfold Shear: is a slice on the tank, even if you move Arbuda follows you so buff up and get healed.
  • Hellseal: Works identically to the Liquid Flame's 'Seal of Night and Day' from Great Gubal Library (Hard). Simply move to the corresponding glowing symbol to dodge the attack. The timing is fairly tight, but the damage tick doesn't apply the instant the cast ends, so you have a little wiggle room.
  • Tapas: Chases each player with telegraphed AoEs.
  • Killer Instinct: Arbuda assumes a defensive stance, similiar to Ravana. 1 side will be open to attack; attacking any other side will cause him to parry the attack back at you - even spells can be deflected. Whilst this is active, he is also capable of parrying area-effect Limit Breaks.
  • Spirit Wave: Light raidwide that also spawns a persistent whirlwind on a random player - usually the ranged DPS or healer. After a short moment, it starts to repeatedly inflict damage and Vulnerability Up stacks on players still in it. Just move out and avoid the area.
  • Hurricane Kick: A close-ranged 270° cleave aimed at a random player, leaving a 90° safe spot behind the boss. Inflicts a short Stun if it hits you. Dodge either behind or away from the boss.
  • Touch of Slaughter: Targets a random player with a green marker, then leaps at them and sets their HP to a single digit number. The healer should heal them up ASAP, especially as this gets comboed with Hurricane Kick in the next phase, potentially killing the target.
  • Coeurl Whisper: Spawns a line of dragon heads that slowly move across the arena, with some gaps between them (similar to Kugane Ohashi or The Vault's horses). They deal damage and inflict a Vulnerability Up stack on players they pass through. Watch out for and weave between the gaps to avoid them.
    • In the next phase, two perpendicular lines will spawn instead, each only having dragons in one half of the line. They will cross each other during Rhalgr's Piece, leaving only one corner of the arena safely free of dragons.
    • If your party's damage is low, in the next phase, you will also see a line of dragon heads with a tiny gap, paired with The Rose of Destruction, requiring your party to stack together while also aligned with the gap, letting the dragons safely pass around you.
  • Silent Roar: Wide, blue-telegraphed line AoE aimed at a random player, which also knocks back and inflicts a Vulnerability Up stack. Try to dodge sideways.
  • Rhalgr's Piece: Proximity AoE marker in the center of the arena. Run to the corners of the arena.
  •   The Rose of Destruction: Places a stack marker on a random player. Stack together to split the damage. If your party does a lot of damage, you may skip this entirely!
  • Furious Fists: Ivon begins powering up for a super attack, filling the room with glowing chakra orbs that are tethered to him. Collecting the orbs reduces the strength of this attack and will grant you a short-lived stacking Damage Up buff. Once the cast completes, Ivon will float over the center of the arena and punch down around 5 times, followed by a finishing Impact strike that does significantly more damage. This marks his phase change, after which the mechanics you have seen so far will be comboed together in trickier ways.

The Path To Rhalgr

During the great deluge of the Sixth Umbral Calamity, it is said that Rhalgr sent a star to guide the forebears of the Ala Mhigan people to safety in the mountains of Gyr Abania. The ground where the star came to its rest was held as sacred and drew pilgrims from far and wide. Seeking to be closer to the Destroyer, this loose congregation of worshipers built a temple at the summit of a mountain by carving back the bare rock. Thus was born the Temple of the Fist, the main bastion of the Fist of Rhalgr.

Ere long, the climb to pay pilgrimage to the temple came to be regarded as part of the spiritual journey for the faithful, and for this purpose a dedicated path was created: the Way of Enlightenment. Yet this was no leisurely stroll. Aside from being precariously steep, the way was outfitted with an array of traps and obstacles which tested flesh and faith both. In time, this grueling route would be adopted as a trial for those who aspired to monkhood.

Alas, the Fist of Rhalgr would incur the wrath of King Theodoric, who saw the Temple of the Fist razed and its inhabitants slaughtered. Imperial rule further saw all religious practices oppressed, and for two decades nary a soul has set foot within its grounds.

Arbuda

This four-armed golem was created to train monks, who competed to defeat it in the shortest possible time. Contests were awarded ranks, named for various beasts which were, in ascending order: mossling, chapuli, gazelle, coeurl, griffin, and two-headed coeurl. One last rank exists to crown them all, and it is named for the Destroyer Himself.

Ivon Coeurlfist

A legend among monks, Ivon Coeurlfist honed his martial prowess by wandering the mountains and fighting coeurls. He is also credited for creating a powerful pair of gloves made from the hide of coeurls. According to scripture, such was his dedication to his faith and art that, even after his death, his essence persisted in the corporeal realm to continue his training forevermore. There are reports that an adventurer fought his spirit in the Temple of the Fist, but there is little in the way of details.

More

Within the innermost sanctum of the temple lies a chamber named Guidance. Scripture holds that those who make it this far are given the chance to prove themselves further—against the spirit of a great monk of eld.

Marjorie: One legendary monk trained by fighting coeurls.
Marjorie: Another coeurl! It seems rather angry, doesn't it?
Marjorie: Did you know Ivon Coeurlfist used a pair of Sphairai crafted fists shaped like coeurls?
Marjorie: A stronger warrior I have not seen!
Marjorie: The monks used that golem to test their speed. It is called "Arbuda." 
Marjorie: I'll time you long each trial takes you, comparing your performance with that of previous monks. 
Marjorie: Look at that! Your time was perfectly average. 
Ivon Coeurlfist: A new challenger? Very well.
Ready your fists! 
Ivon Coeurlfist: You are quite the fighter.
Let us see if you can handle this!
Ivon Coeurlfist: The time has come to open all my chakra!
Ivon Coeurlfist: Taste the power of the coeurl!
Ivon Coeurlfist: You will not survive this!
