Learn how to defeat Erichthonios in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's P1N Asphodelos First Circle raid. This guide covers mechanics like Gaoler's Flail, Warder's Wrath, and Shining Cells.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Gaoler’s Flail: Erichthonios swings his flail on his left or right arm, cleaving that side of the arena. Run to the opposite side. This happens twice, once for each arm.
  2. 2
    Warder’s Wrath: A raid-wide attack dealing moderate damage. Heal and use shields to mitigate.
  3. 3
    Pitiless Flail: Targets a random player with a line AoE. The targeted player must run away from the group. The rest of the party must stack up to split damage from the following raid stack AoE. The targeted player may be knocked back, so avoid the arena edge.
  4. 4
    Heavy Hand: A Tankbuster dealing heavy damage. Tanks should use defensive cooldowns and shields.
  5. 5
    Intemperance and Intemperate Torment: Players are marked with fire or ice debuffs. The arena is divided into four quadrants, each with stacks of red and blue cubes. Run to a quadrant with the opposite color of your debuff (e.g., blue if you have fire). When Intemperate Torment casts, cubes fall sequentially. Move to collect the correct debuffs from the falling cubes, starting from the bottom.
  6. 6
    Shining Cells and Aetherchain: The arena becomes fire and ice panels. Pay attention to the elemental orbs swirling around Erichthonios; they indicate which floor panels will explode. Stand on the opposite color.
  7. 7
    Aetherflail: Occurs after the first two explosions in Shining Cells. This is similar to Gaoler’s Flail but must be performed while standing on the correct floor color from Aetherchain.
  8. 8
    Slam Shut: A raid-wide attack dealing moderate damage. Heal and use shields to mitigate.

Strategy:

  • Erichthonios starts with two Gaoler’s Flails, requiring players to dodge to opposite sides of the arena.
  • Healers should prepare for Warder’s Wrath after the initial flails.
  • The targeted player for Pitiless Flail should position themselves at moderate range to avoid being knocked out of the arena. The rest of the party stacks for the subsequent raid AoE.
  • Tanks must manage Heavy Hand with defensive cooldowns.
  • For Intemperance, pay attention to your debuff color and the color of the bottom cube in each quadrant. Move to swap debuffs as cubes fall.
  • During Shining Cells and Aetherchain, identify the color of the orbs around Erichthonios to know which panels will explode, and stand on the opposite color.
  • Aetherflail combines Gaoler’s Flail dodging with Aetherchain floor mechanics.
  • The fight cycles between these phases, with Intemperance gaining Gaoler’s Flail after the second cube drop in later cycles.
  • Pandaemonium gear (Item Level 565 in Normal difficulty)
  • Tomes of Shadow (Normal)
