Once more the wandering minstrel weaves a tale with his musical talents, this time an ode to a stalwart knight who served with distinction beneath thunderous skies. With peerless skills and formidable magicks she defended the throne, yet as the queen was barred from the battlefield, she never spied Zelenia's cold, merciless gaze, nor glimpsed the raging fury that burned within her breast. What would this simulacrum born of the queen's memories become had Sphene possessed firsthand knowledge of the warrior's unbridled ferocity? As the ballad fills your ears, a vision of this daunting foe begins to take shape...

Recollection (Extreme) is a level 100 trial introduced in patch 7.2 with Dawntrail.

Mechanics & Timeline

Queen's Knight: Zelenia

Mechanics

Name Description
Thorned Catharsis Moderate raid-wide damage.
Shock Targets each party member with either a multi-hit AoE, or a donut AoE.

All supports (healers/tanks) will receive one type of AoE, while all DPS receive the other.

Alexandrian Holy Spawns 4 towers to be soaked. Players soaking towers will receive a Lightning Resistance Down II for 2s.
Specter of the Lost Spawns interceptible tethers on 2 random players. Tethered players are hit with a tank buster cleave.
Escelons' Fall Casts four cone AoEs baited on either the 4 closest or 4 furthest players, determined by the diamond markers above her head. During cast, she will indicate how many hits there will be, and who the target will be for the attack. Players hit will receive Slashing Resistance Down for 5s.
  • Three pink diamonds, close together: Baited on closest players
  • Three purple diamonds, spaced apart: Baited on furthest players
Stock Break 4-hit circle stack.
Blessed Barricade Becomes untargetable and spawns 4 Roseblood Drop adds and 2 Zelenia's Shades.

While untargetable spawns two multi-player towers that must be soaked by 3 players.

Spearpoint Push Zelenia's Shade tethers to a player and attacks with a half room cleave while dashing towards toward them. The side of the cleave corresponds to the direction the sword in their hand is pointing.
Perfumed Quietus Upon starting cast becomes targetable. Upon casting, deals raid-wide damage based on the amount of Zelenia's Aether shown in the duty gauge.
Roseblood Bloom[1] Changes arena. Arena features an AoE puddle in the center of the map that will inflict Bleeding when stepped in, as well as tiles marked with a red rose pattern. When the tiles marked with a red rose pattern are hit by Alexandrian Thunder or Thunder Slash they deal damage.
Alexandrian Thunder II Casts three conal cleaves, rotating.
Alexandrian Thunder III Spawns a targeted point blank AoE on each player. When hit applies a Lightning Resistance Down II for 2s.
Roseblood: 2nd Bloom[1] Changes arena. Arena features an AoE puddle in the center of the map that will inflict Bleeding when stepped in, as well as tiles marked with a red rose pattern. When the tiles marked with a red rose pattern are hit by Alexandrian Thunder or Thunder Slash they deal damage.
Alexandrian Thunder IV Spawns either a point blank AoE or a donut AoE, followed by the opposite. If the roses are on the outside of the ring, it's a donut AoE. If the roses are on the inside, it's a point blank AoE.
Thunder Slash Casts three sets of 2 directional cone AoEs that go off in a sequence.
Roseblood: 3rd Bloom[1] Changes arena. Arena features an AoE puddle in the center of the map that will inflict Bleeding when stepped in, as well as tiles marked with a specific red rose pattern. When a tower is spawned on a red rose tile, the entire tile and any connected tiles is considered part of the tower. When the tiles marked with a red rose pattern are hit by Explosion from towers they deal light damage and inflict Lightning Resistance Down II for 2s.

If two tiles with towers are connected by the rose pattern, the towers will be considered not soaked and damage will be dealt to the entire party.

Bud of Valor Spawns 1 or 2 Zelenia's Shade that will cast either Alexandrian Holy, Alexandrian Banish II, Power Break, or Shock.
Emblazon Spawns a rose marking on 4 players, either all supports or all DPS. When the rose marking disappears after ~7s, the tile below the player will be marked with a rose pattern and the player receives a Magic Vulnerability Up for 9s.
Alexandrian Banish II Single-hit circle stack on 2 players who have not had Shock cast on them at the same time.
Roseblood: 4th Bloom[1] Changes arena. Arena features an AoE puddle in the center of the map that will inflict Bleeding when stepped in, as well as tiles marked with a red rose pattern.
Encircling Thorns After a delay, applies Thorny Vine to all players, tethering each support to a DPS. The debuff will cause damage over time until the tether is broken.
Alexandrian Banish III Spawns a heavy hitting circle stack on a player, prioritizing healers. If the attack hits a rose patterned tile, the damage will be shared across all players standing on rose patterned tiles that are connected to the tile with the stack.
Power Break Half-room cleave, the side determined by the direction of the sword that the Zelenia's Shade is holding is pointed. The second cast of Power Break will always be the opposite side of the first cast.
Roseblood: 5th Bloom[1] Changes arena. Arena features an AoE puddle in the center of the map that will inflict Bleeding when stepped in, as well as tiles marked with a red rose pattern. When the tiles marked with a red rose pattern are hit by Alexandrian Thunder or Thunder Slash they deal damage.
Valorous Ascension 2 raid-wide hits that each spawn two Briar Thorns outside the arena. When the Briar Thorn casts Valorous Ascension, a line AoE will be cast from it's position across the arena.
Roseblood: 6th Bloom[1] Changes arena. Arena features an AoE puddle in the center of the map that will inflict Bleeding when stepped in, as well as tiles marked with a specific red rose pattern. When a tower is spawned on a red rose tile, the entire tile and any connected tiles is considered part of the tower. When the tiles marked with a red rose pattern are hit by Explosion from towers they deal light damage and inflict Lightning Resistance Down II for 2s.

If two tiles with towers are connected by the rose pattern, the towers will be considered not soaked and damage will be dealt to the entire party.

Holy Hazard Spawns 2 sets of opposing 120° cone AoEs.
Roseblood Withering[1] Changes arena. Arena features an AoE puddle in the center of the map that will inflict Bleeding when stepped in, as well as all tiles marked with a red rose pattern. When the tiles marked with a red rose pattern are hit by Rose Red they deal lethal damage.
