Once used by seedseers as a place for spiritual reflection and meditation, Haukke Manor was long frowned upon by the people of Gridania as a symbol of excess. After years of protest, the building was finally sold to a wealthy Duskwight by the name of Lady Amandine.
While little is known of the lady, it was said that she was exceptionally vain, and that to maintain her impeccable beauty, she would spare no expense. From facial creams concocted from rare Coerthas honeys to shampoos derived from the milk of exotic phurbles, her daily ritual of beauty treatments escalated until it was rumored she was bathing in blood of her virgin maidservants. No amount of man-made tinctures, however, could hide the hideous scars she eventually suffered during the Calamity, and soon she was forced to turn to a darker solution, signing away her very soul in a final effort to literally “save face”.
Level: Level 28 (Sync from 31)
Overview
– Welcome to Haukke Manor! In this dungeon, you will be going through the different areas of the manor. As you progress deeper in the dungeon, you will come across a [Tiny Key]. This key will open up doors that are locked. Some will contain treasures while some will have enemies. If you are seeking to get the achievement for exploring the Haukke Manor, make sure you open every single locked door.
– You will be meeting a lot of enemies that like to do AOE damage. Make sure that the White Mage is paying attention to everyone’s health. The tank must also aggro every enemy. DPS and Heals should always maintain a safe distance to tank, unless you are a melee DPS.
– Certain enemies in this dungeon walk slowly. Make sure that you clear everyone as slow enemies can pull adds. One of the reasons of our wipe on this dungeon is the attracting group of enemies unexpectedly.
– There are three floors; each will give you a boss to fight.
Manor Claviger – Mini Boss
– Manor Claviger is the first mini boss that you will get to fight. Don’t worry about this one! This boss has only certain attacks that are avoidable if everyone pays attention.
– The Claviger loves to do a Cleave attack. Make sure the tank is forcing the boss to face him and away from the group. If you are a tank, make sure you are using defensive cooldown since that Cleave can really deal a high amount of damage.
– Launching an AOE damage is another attack that the Claviger will randomly use. If you see her casting his Void Fire II attack where you will see a red circle, stay away from it. If that ground effect attack gets you, a huge amount of damage will be casted upon you. Beware!
Manor Jester and Steward – Mini Boss
– The second boss that you will get to fight inside the Haukke Manor is the duo Jester and Steward.
– Since there are two bosses that you will have to take down, it’s imperative to kill the Jester first since it has a low HP that can be dispatched within a minute.
– If you are focusing on the Jester, make sure to pay attention on Steward since he will be targeting random members of the party. If the group has high DPS output, you will not have to worry about the Steward since you will get to focus on him as soon as you kill the Jester.
– The Steward will be doing one attack and it’s not that special. If you can interrupt him, do so as it will help as his one simple attack can deal a massive amount of damage.
Lady Amandine – Main Boss
– Don’t let the look of Lady Amandine deceive you! Apart from her pretty and sexy look, this boss can be quite tough if the group doesn’t know the mechanics. Well, let’s get started!
– It’s important for the group to not give their attention to Lady Amandine as she will bring adds and certain things that you need to take down.
– One of the things that you need to watch out for is the Void Lamp. In the four corners of the room, she will be casting the Void Lamp. When the DPS sees this, take them down pronto as it can wipe the party if left alone. Leave the lamp unattended and Adamine will light it to cast massive AOE damage.
– Similar to the Claviger, Amandine will be casting a ground AOE fire attack. If you see yourself being targeted, get away from it as that fire can burn you.
– In addition to the Void Lamps, you will also need to worry about the Bombs that she will bring out. Have the DPS in the group take the bombs away they self-destruct.
– Below 25% of Amandine HP, she will cast a bunch of retainers for her big finale. These Guardians will target primarily the White Mage or Conjurer in the group, so make sure the DPS are taking them first – and yes I died.
Congratulations! You just took down Lady Amandine! Following this fight, you will continue your story mission *to those who are doing this for the first time*.
