Shadow Lord BCNM Unlocked

[Priran]

So you don't need control of the Throne Room to fight Shadow Lord? Weird.

[ronin sparthos]

Wouldn't it make more sense that defeating the Shadow Lord (the dude IN the Throne Room) would swing it to Allied control?

[Priran]

Considering you need control of Beadeaux/La Vaule/Castle O to fight the leaders there, no? The guy said there are campaign battles in Throne Room now too, so it makes even less sense since he isn't the only thing in there.

[Meepein]

Might this soon be a legendary thread? If so, posting in it.

Now, I am quite eager to see how bad this Shadow Lord is.

[NeoForte]

I said seems like they can. The bar on top of Throne Room as a very slight sliver of red on it. I haven't seen a battle start there yet though.

[xerodok]

So this is a BCNM not a campaign op?

[Aihree]

Odd that Fiat Lux would be directly open - aren't there supposed to be four other campaign ops ahead of it, according to the dats?

[lotmorning]

Fiat Lux !!!! open in alex !! and u can do it regardless or your alliegance !!

I am max medal >< so dunno wich is the minimum medal available

Can you please post the description of the operation?

[NeoForte]

ok Moonloight Medal 2 thingy doesn't have access to the fight.

[Kirschy]

Can you please post the description of the operation?

Description is in the DATs:

Fiat Lux
Objective:
Their stronghold surrounded, our
enemy prepares to launch a desperate,
deadly counteroffensive. This is where
the battle will be won. For the future
of Vana'diel, you must storm Castle
Zvahl and remove the Shadow Lord
from his false throne.
Atlanta's blessing be with you!

Unit Requirement: 6 members.

So this is a BCNM not a campaign op?

It's both, like Plucking Wings/Cracking Shells/Splitting Heirs.

[Novax]

Quick residents of Alex go beat this beast!

[Aurara]

looks like this is gonna be a final medal fight me thinks

[NeoForte]

I would but I need to rank up first ; ;

[Aurara]

im so far behind on campaign medals...but ifrit probably wont take over for awhile so im good!

[entaru]

ya you need the Final Medal to get the fight, JP's are spamming it like usual, so far havent seen anyone with the gear on tho

If that's the case maybe it's just to preserve the "story". Like even though the Northlands are taken over and ShadowLord defeated, the Throne Room remains and the war continues.

I said seems like they can. The bar on top of Throne Room as a very slight sliver of red on it. I haven't seen a battle start there yet though.

Can't be, there's nothing in it. Just a footprint, the cutscene NPCS, and ShadowLord.

Odd that Fiat Lux would be directly open - aren't there supposed to be four other campaign ops ahead of it, according to the dats?

The other kindred Ops are separate and not prerequisites. Bailey Borer lowers the fort levels. Kinslayer Baileys/Keep lowers Morale.

Can't wait to see drops. Does anyone have any insight into what went into taking Northlands? Was there a group of people partying on Campaign enemies non-stop or what?

[Khiinroye]

Its the same as taking the other beastman strongholds, kill stuff when they show up regardless of campaign.

Description:

"This operation requires you to do no less than strike down the Shadowlord himself"

Doesnt say about a minimum ppl requiriment.

Sandy has the zones but i am from windy but i am wondering now if i can do the mission with ppl from other alliegance.

And yesterday throne room (s) resources were 1000/1000 atm they are 898/900

Waiting for the pic where the Shadow Lord splits into 3 and delivers some Oblivion Smash justice ;;
