Haukke Manor Hard Last Boss

[CornedBee]

What am I missing? We went there with 2 Relic+1-equipped DDs, and mostly couldn't get the adds down in time. Boss absorbed them with too many hitpoints and got buffs and did fat Blood Rain attacks. And even when we survived those, she had too many hit points left and her final attack series killed us - either the constant whole-room action lock + fire 4, or the single-person pull + instakill.

We cleared Pharos Sirius blind without too much trouble earlier. Haukke is supposed to be easier.

We didn't actually save any of the wood wailers in the first part of the dungeon. Does that make a difference?

We're completely stymied.

bump. My group couldnt figure it out either, we were killing off adds fast but she still would hit for like 9999 =/

My group managed to clear it by a well timed limit break II on the last wave of adds (or add, in that case). Healer needs to be on the ball. a PLD tank can help ease things by stunning dark mist. But it seems like it's tuned very very tightly for a dungeon giving ilvl60 loot.

We didn't really have an issue with the final boss (relic+1 DPS and healer, AK geared tank)--some really oh crap we're gonna wipe seconds but we managed through it without wiping. Though a suggestion Stun the boss' dark mist, when I was fighting her, after the midway point maybe she had two buffs that said she was immune to Stun and Silence?

she gets those buffs after she kills the ahriman

The more health the adds have when she kills them the more damage she does to the party. After a point, maybe after the last add (Amandine I think,) she will do a room wide confuse attack that causes everyone to lose control of their characters for a moment. It helps to be spread out here so that her aoes only hit one character. This also seems to be a kind of "burn phase" where if you don't kill her quickly enough she will kill a party member just like they were one of her mobs, and the resulting rain wipes the party. This would be the time to LB. I'm not 100% on all the details, but this is the understanding that got us through the fight.

[Valkyriana]

Tried 2 times with different duty finder group, we would wipe at the last 5% - 10% of the hp bar due to the Fatal Attraction on a partymember, it seems to me that Haukke HM is a bit overtuned, especially for a dungeon that rewards AK gear.

[Ronove]

I did Haukke HM again today and we only wiped once at the final boss! We wiped because she ate one of the two maidservants or whatever they are called and the add had too much HP left. We had only focused on one of the two adds at that time so it was probably our bad because by the time we got to the second one the boss ate her like near full health. The next time we did it, we took down one like we had before and LBed the other one. Thankfully we didn't need the LB for the final add.

[Kyana]

I have to agree that it seems a bit too hard if you consider the required combined ilvl48.

Getting her adds down to no HP is a key to this fight for sure. Also keeping some distance between the adds and the boss seemed to give us more time than her standing right next to the add. (might be my imagination though)
Maybe there is something else we didn't find out yet, but so far it seems like Haukke HM is a DPS check.

[Necaust]

That boss is easy. Burn the eye, LB the 2 adds, burn princess whatever add, then have range fall back at max distance to burn boss and avoid pull in/ground AoE mechanic. I did it on my decently geared BLM while our bard had already been killed.

Likely an easy fight if dps are mindful to burn adds. (Good like in a pug)
