[Console Games] Final Fantasy XIV 6.3 Lapis Manalis Dungeon Guide

[[Depo] @ Cselites.com]

Final Fantasy XIV 6.3 update added a new level 90 dungeon called Lapis Manalis. It's located in the snowy hinterlands of Garlemald and like most FFXIV dungeons, follows the format of three bosses and adds in-between. We'll cover how to unlock the dungeon and what to expect from the bosses.

Lapis Manalis is a level 90 dungeon. The only prerequisites are:

Minimum iLVL 590.
Initiation of the Main Scenario Quest, King of the Mountain

Lapis Manalis Guide
We'll only focus on the three bosses below. For the Adds, it's just the usual advice: Group 'em up and avoid the AoEs.

Albion
The first boss is a frost-like ape monster named Albion.

Call of the Mountain: When Albion finishes casting this attack, the player will hear rumbling and a notice will appear on screen: "A rumbling in the distance draws closer." Along the left and right side of the arena, avalanche-looking snow will indicate where a group of monsters will run horizontally across the platform, trampling any character caught in the rampage. It's like an AoE band, but dressed up. There will be two such "bands," so keep observing both sides of the platform after the first monster parade.
Left Slam (and later Right Slam): Albion will cast an AoE that takes up the left side of the platform. (This is Albion's left side and if your character is facing him in the front, not yours.) He will sometimes do a Right Slam variation of this attack.
Knock on Ice: Three orange circle markers drop down on the platform, and piles of rocks will drop down shortly. Avoid the orange AoEs.
Icebreaker: Albion will tether to one rock. Move away from this rock, because an AoE will explode around the tethered rock.
Roar of Albion: This attack has a fairly long cast time and is indicated by the entire platform getting covered by a light orange AoE. Players need to hide behind one of the two remaining rocks before the cast is finished.
From here on out, Albion doesn't have any major new mechanics. It'll be a repeat of what you've seen, but with some overlap.

Left Slam (or Right Slam) + Call of the Wild: While also avoiding the animal crossings, players also need to notice which side of the platform Albion is going to slam his fist down on.
Albion's Embrace: He'll also have a Tankbuster move in the second phase.
Galatea Magna
Galatea Magna is the second boss, and she has Reaper-like mechanisms.
