Master Bahamut Phase 2 in Final Fantasy XVI's 'Fire in the Sky' quest. Learn attack patterns like Wing Shockwaves, Aura Burst, Supernova, Megaflare, and more. Get strategies to defeat this formidable foe.

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Bahamut uses familiar attacks with some minor additions.
  2. Phase 2 (Post-First Stagger): Bahamut gains new abilities like Radiance and Dashing Shots.
  3. Phase 3 (Post-Teraflare Charge): Bahamut unleashes more powerful versions of his attacks and introduces Gigaflare and Celestial Foundry.

Bahamut Phase 2 Attacks:

  1. Wing Shockwaves: Three shockwaves fired from his wings. Dodge through them.
  2. Aura Burst: Gathers energy for an explosion. Move out of the circle. Post-stagger, stationary lasers are added.
  3. Supernova: A large energy orb that follows you. Avoid it while performing other actions.
  4. Megaflare: Homing projectiles. Use mobility to dodge.
  5. Light Dash: A direct dash attack. Standard dodge required.
  6. Sweeping Lasers: Three horizontal and diagonal lasers. Dodge through them or potentially above. Golden variation exists.
  7. Dashing Shots: Fires energy projectiles after flying to the sides (post-first stagger). Easy to avoid.
  8. Radiance: Two tiers of rotating lasers. Dodge through them as they approach.
  9. Satellite Lasers: Satellites fire lasers. Keep moving and watch for the targeting sight.
  10. Gigaflare: A fast, tracking beam following Satellite Lasers. Requires a Precision Dodge.
  11. Celestial Foundry: Fires lasers from multiple sights covering most of the screen. Use Lightspeed to get behind Bahamut.
  12. Teraflare: A charged attack requiring you to deplete a bar. Lasers rain down during the charge. Use Brimstone and Spitflare to damage the bar. Depleting it stuns Bahamut.

Strategy:

  • Maintain aerial mobility to dodge attacks.
  • Exploit openings after Bahamut's major attacks, especially Gigaflare and Celestial Foundry, to deal damage.
  • When Bahamut charges Teraflare, focus on damaging the purple bar using abilities like Brimstone and Spitflare to interrupt the attack and stun him.
  • Utilize Precision Dodges for attacks like Gigaflare and potentially Celestial Foundry.
  • Use Lightspeed to reposition behind Bahamut during Celestial Foundry.
