Asphodelos: The Third Circle (Savage)

PF uses Inumaru’s strat as a base, but puts Darkened Fires (闇の炎) on intercardinal positions (Shinosho), and replaces Fountain of Fire (霊泉) with Mr. Happy’s strat (see below).

English parties replace Firestorms of Asphodelos (FoA) with “my” strat (see below).

Things to check on Party Finder

  • Check the positions for the transition (older macros may have different positioning)

This is the macro often used in English parties. In particular, Firestorms of Asphodelos is, er, “my” strat.

Markers

  • ABCD are for orientation, and for the transition stacks (if applicable).
  • 1234 are for:
    • Resolving the “Limit Cut” dice during Darkened Fires
    • Placing the eye thingies during Fledgling Flight.

Experimental Gloryplume

【Experimental Gloryplume - Spread】
   MT ST  ※ Melee (N/W), Ranged (S/E)
  D1 ▲ D2 ※ Explosions-Relative:
  D3   D4  1st→D1D4  2nd→MTH2
   H1 H2   3rd→STH1  4th→D2D3

The first Experimental Gloryplume always starts with the four explosions around the outside of the arena. We use these four explosions to determine where everyone is spreading.

For example, if the first two explosions were the ones below (east and west), then the final spread positions for the black orbs spread would look like:

    3             ST
 2     4       MT    D2
1       1  →  D1      D4

Firestorms of Asphodelos

There are two main ways of doing Firestorms of Asphodelos (FoA) in PF.

Firestorms of Asphodelos (Inumaru)

Japanese parties will follow Inumaru’s strat. Inumaru’s strat maintains the pairs from the earlier Experimental Gloryplume:

  • Tanks + Melee north
  • Healers + Ranged south

Experimental Ashplume (Spread)

Dodge the "pizza" AoEs, followed by stacking or spreading as required.

If the party needs to spread, follow this formation.

Storms of Asphodelos

Dodge the "pizza" AoEs, and move into position:

  • Tanks: Take the tethers, stand outside the boss's target circle to the NW and NE.
  • H1, H2, D3: Bait the fire tornadoes.
  • D1, D2, D4: Fan out along the south side, inside the boss's target circle. Use the floor markings to help with positioning.

Darkblaze Twister (Spread)

Start from the black tornado, move clockwise around the boss to bait five sets of AoEs before getting knocked back. Stay close to the other tornados to dodge the donut AoEs before stacking or spreading as needed.

Using the black tornado as north:

  • Tanks + Melee: Knockback bottom-left
  • Healers + Ranged: Knockback bottom-right

If the party needs to spread, take up this formation.

Firestorms of Asphodelos (Tuufless)

English parties will do “my” strat instead. The pairings for Firestorms of Asphodelos are different:

  • Healers + Melee north
  • Tanks + Ranged south.

Experimental Ashplume (Spread)

Dodge the "pizza" AoEs, followed by stacking or spreading as required.

If the party needs to spread, follow this formation.

Storms of Asphodelos

Dodge the "pizza" AoEs, and move into position:

  • Tanks: Take the tethers, stand inside the boss's target circle to the south, and invuln.
  • D1, D2, H1: Stack NE of the boss, outside the target circle.
  • D3, D4, H2: Bait the fire tornadoes.

In the event any of the ranged players are dead, H1 (followed by D2) goes and takes their position instead.

Darkblaze Twister (Spread)

Start from the black tornado, move clockwise around the boss to bait five sets of AoEs before getting knocked back. Stay close to the other tornados to dodge the donut AoEs before stacking or spreading as needed.

Using the black tornado as north:

  • Healers + Melee: Knockback bottom-left
  • Tanks + Ranged: Knockback bottom-right

If the party needs to spread, take up this formation.
