Patch 1.22 will feature all-new battle content pitting adventurers against Garuda, the primal of wind. Two encounters will be implemented: a standard battle for level 40 light parties (four members) and a hard mode designed with level 50 full parties (eight members) in mind.
Garuda
Worshipped by the Ixal, this capricious primal commands the winds. A figure equal parts woman and avian, Garuda calls the sky her dominion and the storms her servants.
Ixali teachings portray Garuda as the Empress of Birds. In the age of myth, she slew the malevolent Lord of Snakes, ending his foul attempt to bind the world’s creatures to the earth. It was through this deed that birds might now soar freely amid the clouds. The ferocity of the battle, however, left the victorious Garuda sorely wounded. She feasted on the carcass of the reptilian king to restore her strength, and, with her wounds thus healed, once again took wing. Legends say that Garuda’s bloody banquet, whilst healing her physical form, also left her with a taste for the flesh of land-bound mortals…
Thus for the flightless Ixal who claim kinship with birds, their bloodthirsty guardian deity is a source of both rapture and terror.
The fight looks awesome, I like the music, a lot better than moogle. Looks like it will be in the LL from the looks of it. My guess is the Southeast portion of the map. Cant wait

- Everyone seemed to be kinda all over the place. Either positioning doesnt matter, or it matters a LOT. - Seems to spawn some kind of little adds. - It looked like the entire party hid behind a rock to avoid KO damage from the astral flow.
And yeah, patch is tomorrow.
