Haukke HM Fatal Allure

[DisFlavored]

I've run this dungeon quite a few times and when I ran it tonight with my FC, all was going well. Until the final boss.
Adds were burned down well, lb on the last add, then all crud breaks loose. Now I can deal with beguiling mists, it's fine. But we encountered an attack we hadn't seen before, "Fatal Allure." If you're unsure about the attack, she one shots a party member and uses their hp in a "Blood Rain" attack. It wiped us multiple times. I wouldn't call it an issue with not downing her fast enough. She casts it very early in the last phase with 25% health left.
I've found some different things on this attack, but nothing too helpful. Can anyone offer advice on this attack?

i don't remember her using that...

maybe you hit enrage for the boss? i never encountered such an ability.

That's exactly what it is. She'll do the Charm 3 (maybe 4) times, and then that's it, you lose. My FC calls her the flying Demon Wall. I imagine if the party member she eats has low HP it won't kill you, but most healers are not going to let that happen. You need to DPS her down more quickly and she'll never use this.

If you want to run a trial on the HP theory, first we need to find out if it's 3 or 4 times, this has only happened to one of my groups, and it was when it was first released, so I have no idea. Then, on her last time, need to leave your HP low, hope to hell she doesn't eat the healer, then *spam* heal when she eats the party member and see if it matters.

EDIT: Sorry, misread your post! Thought you were referring to when she ate her adds.

Yes, Fatal Allure is pretty nasty. Instead of eating adds, she instead starts eating party members! This is pretty suckish, but if you can maximize the DPS output on her during that last 25%, then you should be fine!

Like others have said, after the third allure she starts eating the lowest health member. You can survive this by leaving a person at low health after the third allure, but you need to kill her very quickly after that point as she'll just keep eating someone each allure. As a side note, I had a group where she ate 3 people before I was completely drained and unable to res or heal anymore, the blood rain will do about 1.5-2.5k if you leave someone low.

She can actually use that before the third one, if the dps is too low. Seen it happen myself.

I've only seen this once, and it was because DPS was really low. I think its like a mini rage timer. Like someone said before it was after like 4 charm rotations.

You know I've always been curious about this part of the fight because I've heard mixed things. I'll be looking forward to if the OP confirming if it can before she cast beguiling mist(that's the charm right?). I've had no fatal allure even with 4 charms in groups before and in other groups I've seen it after three. It'd be interesting to hear a more in depth explanation of what exactly happened.

So either there is an overall fight enrage timer, which would be easy enough to verify or there's some other funky thing causing it.

Woah, she does it with your group, too?
Most disgusting boss ever. I've never went back to Haukke HM thanks to her.

She's incredibly easy. I updated the wiki guide with a strat for her: http://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wi...e_Manor_(Hard)

As for the Fatal Allure mechanic, I'm not 100% certain. This strat has always downed her before it happens.
