Group including ex-Lucrezia players claims World First clear of the Unending Coil of Bahamut raid By Tony Garsow on November 4, 2017 at 10:59 AM

Final Fantasy XIV‘s first “Ultimate”-tier difficulty encounter The Unending Coil of Bahamut has been cleared.

After 11 days of struggle, the group with the World First title is out of Japan — specifically Alexander server in the Gaia cluster. They consist of mostly ex-Lucrezia players, who you may remember claiming World First in the “Final Coil of Bahamut,” the last raid series of the A Realm Reborn patch series. While Lucrezia is no longer formally together, it’s rather poetic that they’ve returned in some form to reclaim the title for Unending Coil.

The Unending Coil of Bahamut was introduced in Patch 4.11 and is currently the most difficult fight in the game — so much so that Final Fantasy XIV director and producer Naoki Yoshida jokingly warned players to turn back on a previous community broadcast. The duty pits the three final bosses of each tier of the Binding Coil of Bahamut against a party of eight level 70 players. In order to access this encounter, you must first clear the Savage mode difficulty of The Deltascape — the raid series introduced shortly after Patch 4.0.

Reward for clearing the Ultimate Coil of Bahamut are item level 345 weapons with three slots for materia. You can see the Dark Knight weapon claimed from today’s clear below:

Final Fantasy XIV Patch 4.11 went live on October 24th.
