Notes
- Brittle Rocks take drastically reduced damage from all sources except dots, which are a very effective way to damage them.
- Brittle Rocks do not attack or move.
- Brittle Rocks are not in fact brittle.
Walkthrough
Destroy all 5 of the Brittle rocks.
- Brittle Rocks can be destroyed through damage, and damage over time is a very good way to do it. SCH/BLM can cast Bio, three non-overlapping elemental DoTs (e.g. Shock, Burn, Choke), Poison II, and Helix.
- Volcanic Bombs aggro sight and can be completely avoided with Invisible (Status).
- Qiqirn Volcanists and Ceramists will occasionally drop Qiqirn Mine Temporary Items to help destroy the rocks.
- Once you have obtained a mine, engage a Brittle Rock and use the temporary item. Stay engaged until the device detonates and the rock will be destroyed in a single blast.
- At Item Level 117+, you can kill Qiqirn way faster than the walls, so it's worth trying to get bombs from them. Be sure to only kill one at a time.
- The Rune of Release will spawn at the dead end room at (F-10) when the last Brittle Rock is defeated.
- In order to save time, a party member can be sent towards the Rune while the last Brittle Rock is being fought.
