Complete the Zenos duty in final fantasy xiv endwalker. Learn mechanics like Tidal Wave, Judgement Bolt, and Hellfire. Item Level sync is 550.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter The Dead Ends duty.
  2. 2
    Enter The Final Day duty via the Duty Finder.
  3. 3
    Defeat Zenos viator Galvus. This is a Level 90 duty with an Item Level sync of 550.
  4. 4
    You will start the fight with the Spark of Hope buff, which empowers you with six last stands to survive unavoidable KOs. You will need at least 3 of these.
  5. 5
    Dodge Zenos's Tidal Wave by using Arms Length or running to the far right to avoid being knocked into pools.
  6. 6
    Evade the moderate damage circle AoE of Judgement Bolt.
  7. 7
    Prepare for Hellfire, an unavoidable, high damage full arena spell.
  8. 8
    Mitigate the damage from Akh Morn, a series of 6 low damage beams, with barriers or defensive cooldowns.
  9. 9
    After Zenos casts Come Hither, dodge Star Beyond Stars by moving to the outside edge of the circle AoE first, then avoiding the fan-shaped attack.
  10. 10
    Listen for Zenos's shout and dodge his powerful frontal attack, Mine for the taking, by moving to the side or rear. The ground marker appears as he attacks.
  11. 11
    When Zenos's avatar casts Nine Nights, stand on an outer circle and move towards the middle after the first AoE resolves to avoid the clockwise pattern of circle AoEs.
  12. 12
    Listen for Zenos's shout and quickly move out of the orange circle AoE that appears directly below you. He will do this twice in a row.
  13. 13
    Dodge Zenos's Exoflare, a donut-shaped AoE, by staying in the inner safe circle or on the outer edge while avoiding the arrow-indicated flame explosions. Be prepared for another Mine for the taking attack immediately after.
  14. 14
    During Diamond Dust, which turns the platform to ice, skate in a fixed line to safety. You must combine this with dodging Star Beyond Stars.
  15. 15
    Turn your back to the avatar to avoid Dead Gaze, indicated by a glowing red eye, after the second Star Beyond Stars resolves.
Tips
  • The Spark of Hope buff provides 6 last stands, with 3 being necessary to survive unavoidable attacks.
  • Pay attention to Zenos's shouts for attacks like Mine for the taking and the quick circle AoE, as ground markers may not appear until the attack resolves.
  • For Nine Nights, the center is safe after the initial AoE resolves.
  • When Diamond Dust is active, movement is restricted to skating in a straight line.

Reward: Completion of the main scenario quest.
