==Walkthrough== 
*Zone into [[Al'Taieu]] for a cutscene. 
*Return to [[The Garden of Ru'Hmet]] and pass through the Cermet Portal to get to the main garden elevator. Choose to descend from the first floor and zone into the [[Empyreal Paradox]].  Check the Transcendental Radiance for a cutscene and then check it again to enter the battleground.
:*All buffs and [[TP]] are removed upon entering the fight.
*You will now face [[Promathia]] himself.  The time limit for the battle is 30 minutes.
*[[Prishe]] and [[Selh'teus]] will appear to help.  They will generally take care of themselves, but Prishe can be healed if she draws aggro. If she's KO'd, you can cast [[Raise]] on her and she will go back to fighting with full HP and no weakness.  Selh'teus cannot be healed by players, but has several abilities he can use to heal himself.  If Selh'teus is KO'd, the battle immediately ends and the party will be removed from the battlefield.
*In addition to this, if the entire party is KO'd at any point during the fight, they will be immediately removed from the battlefield.  The game will not allow you the usual 3 minutes for someone to get back up like it typically does in other battlefields.  Because of this, you cannot fully wipe and [[Reraise]] to recover if needed; one party member must always remain alive.
*[[Promathia]] has two forms. Once you beat the first form, you can rest before engaging the second form, though eventually Prishe gets tired of waiting and runs in.
*[[Promathia]] has low evasion.
*Upon defeating [[Promathia]]'s second form, every ''living'' party member (including those doing it for the first time) will receive 2000 [[Experience Points]] or [[Limit Points]].

===First form===
*[[Promathia]]'s first form has about 8000 HP. It uses the following special attacks:
:* '''Empty Salvation:''' [[AoE]] (range 25?) damage (~250) and [[Dispel]] 3 effects
:* '''Pestilent Penance:''' [[Cone Attack]] damage (~400) and [[Plague]]
:* '''Malevolent Blessing:''' [[Cone Attack]] damage (400-500) and [[Curse]]
:* '''Infernal Deliverance:''' [[AoE]] (targeted?) damage and [[Stun]], ignores [[Utsusemi]]
:* '''Chains of (Apathy, Arrogance, Cowardice, Envy and Rage):''' No effect, due to the lights from the [[mothercrystal]]s.
:* '''Comet (Spell):''' Single-target magic damage (600-900).  Can be absorbed by Utsusemi.

*[[Prishe]] fights along with you.
:*She uses a [[Daedalus Wing]] when you start to fight.
:*She uses the Auroral Uppercut [[Weapon Skill]], which is rather weak (23 damage).
:*She also casts [[Divine Magic]] nukes on [[Promathia]] and [[Cure]]s herself and the party.

*[[Selh'teus]] fights along with you a bit too.
:*His '''Luminous Lance''' attack does a bit of damage and stuns [[Promathia]] for about 25 seconds.

===Second form===
*[[Promathia]]'s second form has about 12000 HP. It uses the following special attacks:
:* '''Empty Salvation''', '''Pestilent Penance''', '''Malevolent Blessing''', '''Infernal Deliverance''' as above
:* '''Seal of Quiescence:''' [[AoE]] [[Silence]], lasts up to 75 seconds. It cannot be healed by things like [[Silena]] or [[Echo Drops]], you must wait it out.
:* '''Winds of Oblivion:''' [[AoE]] [[Amnesia]] (disable Job Abilities and Weapon Skills), lasts up to 75 seconds.
:* '''Meteor (spell):''' [[AoE]] magic damage (300-600)
::* He casts this once a minute; it takes 10 seconds to cast, which is plenty of time to run out of range.
:* '''Bastion of Twilight:''' [[Magic Shield]] effect
:* '''Wheel of Impregnability:''' [[Invincible]] effect
*You can tell which shield is up by looking at the big ring below [[Promathia]]. Red is physical, green is magic.

*[[Prishe]] continues to fight beside you.
:* She eats [[Ambrosia]] when you start to fight.
:* This time she uses '''Nullifying Dropkick''', which breaks [[Promathia]]'s shields.
:* She continues to nuke [[Promathia]] and [[Cure]] herself and the party.
:* After a while (4m15?), she uses a [[Carnal Incense]] and [[Hundred Fists]].
:* She can also use [[Benediction]] if she's in trouble.

*[[Selh'teus]] continues to fight against the second form.
:* His '''Luminous Lance''' attack does a bit of damage and stuns [[Promathia]] for about 25 seconds.
:* His '''Revelation''' attack just does damage(?).
:* If he gets in trouble, he has '''Rejuvenation''' and '''Redemption''' moves that give HP, MP, and TP to him and any party members that may be near him.

;Strategy tips:
:* Kiting [[Promathia]] is a good way to avoid most of his damaging attacks.
:**In particular, if you have hate when he starts casting [[Meteor]], run away from him so that his casting fails, like with [[King Behemoth]].
:***This is the single most important thing for winning the BC.
:* Watch out for [[Prishe]] and she will watch out for you.
:* Both of Promathia's forms can be Straight Tanked by a War/nin without Haste gear, using Luck and Skill.  

=== Final Cutscenes ===
'''Wait until JP midnight, to finish the following cutscenes for CoP. First, say farewell to some of your companions.  You can visit them in any order.'''
;Louverance:
:*Head to [[Southern San d'Oria]] and talk to [[Hinaree]] in the Count's Manor ({{Location Tooltip|area=Southern San d'Oria|pos=B-6}}) for a cutscene.
:*Zone into [[Uleguerand Range]] for a cutscene.
:*Head to [[Southern San d'Oria]] and approach the Count's Manor ({{Location Tooltip|area=Southern San d'Oria|pos=B-6}}) for a cutscene.
;Chebukkis:
:*Head to [[Port Windurst]] and talk to [[Chipmy-Popmy]] at the Fishing Guild ({{Location Tooltip|area=Port Windurst|pos=C-8}}) for a cutscene.
:*Head to [[Bibiki Bay - Purgonorgo Isle]] and talk to [[??? Warmachine]] at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Bibiki Bay - Purgonorgo Isle|pos=H-11}}) for a cutscene. When it ends you will receive a [[Colored Drop]] that appears to be random.
;Shikarees:
:*Zone into [[Mhaura]] for a cutscene.
;Jabbos:
:*Zone into [[Oldton Movalpolos]] for a cutscene.
;Tenzen:
:*Head to [[Metalworks]] and talk to [[Cid]] at ({{Location Tooltip|area=Metalworks|pos=H-8}}) for a cutscene.
Once you've talked to all of them:
*Head to [[Ru'Lude Gardens]] and approach the palace for a cutscene.
*Head to [[Upper Jeuno]] and click on the [[Marble Bridge Eatery]] door for a cutscene.
*At this point you can click on the Marble Bridge door again to choose one of the three "CoP rings": [[Rajas Ring]], [[Sattva Ring]], or [[Tamas Ring]].  You can continue with the cutscenes without making your decision yet.
:*If you discard your CoP ring, you will be able to obtain one of the three rings again by revisiting the Marble Bridge.  If the ring is discarded again, you must wait 27 real life days before you will be able to once again choose and obtain another ring.
*Head to [[Tavnazian Safehold]] and check the Walnut Door (K-7), (upper floor: north) for a cutscene.
*Head to [[Lufaise Meadows]] and approach the Blueblade Fell ({{Location Tooltip|area=Lufaise Meadows|pos=J-6}})  for the final fullscreen cutscene. 
:*Additional note: [[Distant Worlds]] will play during the final cutscene.  Also, it may be a good idea if you have [[Fomor Hate|fomor hate]] to cast Sneak or use a Silent Oil prior to viewing the cutscene--a party of VT-to-75 fomor spawn at Blueblade Fell and can kill you when the cutscene ends. (Invisible will wear off as soon as you enter the cutscene, but Sneak will not.  Casting Sneak before approaching the edge of Blueblade Fell will ensure your safety should you exit the cutscene during the night.)
*After the cutscene, the title '''Banisher of Emptiness''' will be awarded and both the [[Storms of Fate]] and [[Requiem of Sin]] quests become available.
