  • You can open all chests as soon as you find them (so you can use your 2-hours on all bosses).
  • The Time chests and Restore chest are always out.
  • The Items chest is dropped by the level boss.
Portal
  • One of the regular mobs unlocks the portal to the next floor (It is not necessary to defeat the floor boss).

Fourth Floor

  • Boss: Cynoprosopi (Wyrm)
    • Weaker version of Fafnir (About 15,000 HP), standing on his forefeet is recommended.
    • Horrid Roar dispels one effect.
    • Dragon Breath and Hurricane Wing do under 300 damage.
    • Attacking him from behind can trigger Spike Flail.
    • Very high defense. Takes full damage from Thunder. As a fire based mob, it is very resistant to Blizzard. Aero works fine.
    • If you fight near the Restore chest, you can open it mid-fight if you run into trouble.
    • Very difficult unless you kill all the Wyverns first. Run along the west edge to avoid premature aggro.
    • Killable by 1 BLM casting Gravity, kiting and nuking him. Gravity lands easily without Elemental Seal.
    • Susceptible to Elemental Seal Sleep, Gravity and Bind.
  • Items chest has 5-7 Ancient Beastcoins and 1-2 AF+1 materials with RDM, BST, SAM, SCH being the guaranteed pool.

Fifth Floor

  • Boss: Kaiser Behemoth (Behemoth)
    • Has alliance hate. Will target everybody until they're dead.
    • Weaker version of King Behemoth (About 15,000 HP).
    • He does not have additional effect: Stun on his melee attacks.
    • Meteor does just under 1000 damage to everyone in a huge area. The target should run out of range so his casting fails.
      • Meteor takes 5 seconds to cast, so it should be possible for melees to run out of range as long as they aren't stunned from Thunderbolt.
    • Kick Out does up to 900 damage; only used if someone by his tail gets hate.
    • Immune to Gravity, Stun and Sleep.
    • Nearly all elements are good on the Kaiser Behemoth, however resistance builds up as multiple spells are cast on him.
  • The usual strategy is to kite Kaiser around the center, pausing out of range when he tries to cast Meteor.
    • Don't get too far ahead, or he won't ever try to cast Meteor and you won't be able to do any damage. Let him get to about 20' away when kiting, then run to more than 30' away when he starts to cast.
    • Melee DD just chase him and hit him while he tries to cast Meteor. Try to hit him from the sides to avoid Kick Out.
      • Melee damage and accuracy on him is very, very poor. Weapon Skill damage isn't too bad.
    • BLMs chase him and nuke from a distance when he starts casting Meteor, then run away if he turns.
      • If he's too far, you can also run the other way and nuke him. Depending on subjob, start casting just as he approaches.
      • Two/more BLMs can kill Kaiser pretty easily. Have team A and team B setup. Team A only runs clockwise around the lake and team B only runs counter-clockwise around lake. Each BLM will start the nuke when in 21' range and will land before he leaves casting range. Rest MP should be ok in kiteing area since the BLM being chased should never stop running. It is possable to Cast a nuke and rest till he comes back around if you did not draw hate. With 2 blms should take 20 mins to kill with 3~4 can take 15. More BLMs can cause problems if to many BLMs cast at the same time.
      • A BLM can solo Kaiser with the proper gear and tactics. Verification Needed (probably not possible on HorizonXI While true in era, on Horizon, Kaiser Behemoth seems to catch up with kiters very fast and sometimes shortcuts over edges of the hole in the middle, which is probably a pathing bug and should make a solo near if not entirely impossible.)
      • SCH can 'One-shot' Kaiser by casting Kaustra and then kiting until he drops dead. Takes around 90 seconds for the spell to drain all his HP.
    • You can check his current target with "/target <stnpc>; /assist <t>; /wait 1; /p Target: <t>" or "/assist <bt>;wait 1;/p <t> (Run Away)
  • The final chest has the Magenta Chip, 6 Ancient Beastcoins, a chance of a Metal Chip and 1-2 AF+1 materials with PLD, DRK, SMN, DNC being the guaranteed pool.
