FFXIV — The Hippokampos Guide

The normal difficulty of this fight isn't hard once you know each mechanic as they aren't linked one with another as much as in Savage mode and here's the list of what the boss can do:

  • The boss will start off by greeting the tanks with a tank share → Tanks group and mitigate
  • A red arrow will spawn on the higher part of his body → Go behind the boss, the opposite side that the arrow points.
  • Raid-wide → Mitigate and heal accordingly
  • Most of the arena will now glow orange → Get to the high ground or on the water drainage areas
  • Pink circles and red triangles will now spawn on each player:
    • Pink circles → Spread
    • Red Triangles → Group
  • The boss will then push everyone → Use anti-knockback or get closer to the boss
  • The head of the boss will separate from his body and dash forward → Go on the part of the arena the head isn't facing.
  • The group will then need to group for a share while a tank will need to get away → Mitigate and heal accordingly
  • The boss will then cast the same mechanics again and again while adding some you've already seen on top of the others before dying.

If you need a video example of the kill here is (in french) the video of my first blind kill on the boss:
