    • Dust Off -AOE effect that causes short knockback and countdown to Petrify 120sec *uses regularly*
    • Doom - Countdown to death 60sec *uses infrequently, and only when it's HP is below 15%*
    • Blindga
    • Slowga
    • Sleep - *will sometimes cast in response to being damage by a spell or ranged attack*
    • Gravity
    • Grinder - 999 damage (3x damage if target is affected by petrify) *Its main attack*
    • Crush - 99,999 damage *switches to this attack exclusively when it reaches the end of the hall/bridge*
    That make me remember the boss in FFXII when we were getting the first esper. We had a boss and a wall going to us and behind a spiked wall to crush us- We had to be fast or was game over.

    I am not seeing that as a NM but maybe part of a dungeon or other quest to get something of real importance (like an AF weapon or a summon or other cool thing).

    Yeah, its really more of a quest boss rather than a NM -- and you are correct on the FFXII reference. It actually originated in FFIV, showed up again in FFVII and then FFXII as well as the FFT, FF:CC and FF Dissidia series (more info HERE). Traditionally, fighting the Demon Wall is a very stressful battle.

    Since it has already appeared in many FF games, the demon wall has become iconic. It would be nice to have it make an appearance in FFXIV.

    BTW, For those who played FFXI:CoP (mission 8-3), there was a battle in the Garden of Ru'Hmet which was thematically similar to the Demon Wall, but it involved 4 Ix'zdei pots rather than a single wall.
