Previously, Heorot made another attempt to defeat the second form of Hades for Seekers of Adoulin Mission 5-4-1: "Abomination". Then, he did some more grinding as Red Mage in Escha - Ru'Aun. He has earned a total of 342 Job Points as Red Mage so far. In this video, he will defeat the second form of Hades in the Ra'Kaznar Turris and conclude Mission 5-4-1: "Abomination".

Heorot resumes in his Mog House in Bastok. He is currently a Red Mage/White Mage. In his Delivery Box, he receives gil for four Plutons and three chunks of Beitetsu that sold at auction. Many thanks to the buyers!

Heorot exits to Port Bastok.

Port Bastok (time 1:47):

Heorot visits the Curio Vendor Moogle at K-12. He picks up some more Hi-Elixirs and another serving of Fruit Parfait. Then, he teleports to Home Point #1 in the Ra'Kaznar Inner Court, Ra'Kaznar.

Ra'Kaznar Inner Court (time 3:23):

Heorot arrives at I-8 on Map 2. He takes the Vertical Transit Device to the Ra'Kaznar Turris.

Ra'Kaznar Turris (time 4:21):

Heorot goes down the ramps and examines the Ominous Postern. He chooses the "Abomination" battlefield. The "Awakened Crystallized Psyche" temporary key item is consumed.

"Abomination" Battlefield (time 6:06):

Heorot and his Trust NPCs work with Arciela and Teodor to confront the second form of Hades. This is the fifth attempt.

For some reason, Hades' HP bar is not shown. He uses a lot of AOE attacks, including knockbacks. His attacks get nastier as his HP dwindles. Arciela and Teodor must be kept alive to win the battle. It seems that the players' Cure spells do not work on Teodor, which complicates things. Hades has a move that inflicts Silence and one that inflicts Petrify. He rotates his elemental affinity. However, Teodor tends to cast spells that Hades is currently weak to.

I noticed in previous attempts that Heorot's magic wasn't doing a lot of damage, even with a staff equipped. So this time, he gets in close to do melee damage. You really want your tank to keep Hades facing away from everyone else.

Eventually, Heorot and his allies win this war of attrition. Whew!

Ra'Kaznar Turris (time 27:51):

After the battle, a lengthy cutscene sequence takes place in the Ra'Kaznar Turris. During the latter portion, we even get treated to the Final Fantasy theme. Marvelous!

Ceizak Battlegrounds (time 48:06):

The cutscene sequence continues in the Ceizak Battlegrounds, East Ulbuka Territory. This concludes Seekers of Adoulin Mission 5-4-1: "Abomination".

Seekers of Adoulin Mission 5-5: "Undying Light" begins. The next objective is to return to enter Western Adoulin from Ceizak Battlegrounds.

Heorot gains control at J-9 in the southeast of the zone. He casts Teleport-Holla to go to La Theine Plateau, Zulkheim.

La Theine Plateau (time 51:27):

Heorot arrives at the Crag of Holla Telepoint at K-8.

It is windy weather when he arrives, so he rides west to a chasm in an attempt to find and defeat an Air Elemental. Sadly, just as he is about to engage one, the weather changes, and the elemental disappears.

However, rainy weather starts immediately afterwards, so Heorot takes out a Water Elemental at H-7 near the Ephemere.

After that, Heorot teleports back to the Crag of Holla Telepoint at K-8. He rides east from there.

At M-8, Heorot uses the Survival Guide to teleport to Bastok Mines.

Bastok Mines (time 1:00:09):

In the Chocobo Stables, Heorot sells some loot to Neigepance at J-9. At the auction house, he puts a Water Cluster, three chunks of Beitetsu, and three Plutons up for sale.

Heorot teleports to Port Bastok.

Port Bastok (time 1:03:04):

Heorot visits the Curio Vendor Moogle at K-12. He picks up some more Hi-Elixirs, Echo Drops, and Remedies.

Then, Heorot enters the Residential Area.

Mog House (time 1:05:09):

Heorot signs off. Next time, he will return to Adoulin and conclude the Seekers of Adoulin mission line. It's about darn time.

Thanks for watching!
