Limbus is a battlefield-style battle system which takes place in the Apollyon and Temenos zones of Al'Taieu. Current Limbus content is designed for level 75 players and rewards; however, a future version update due by June 2012 will add four new battlefields (two each to Apollyon and Temenos) designed for level 99 players and rewards.

The map above shows the entry locations for each Limbus area. The three highlighted portions of Al'Taieu are physically separated and can only be accessed via the Dimensional Portals at the associated crags.

Requirements

In order to participate in Limbus, you must satisfy the following conditions:

  • Have Al'Taieu access from the Chains of Promathia expansion (completed Promathia Mission 7-5).
  • Purchase the key item Cosmo-Cleanse from Sagheera in Port Jeuno for 15,000 gil (this must be done prior to each Limbus entry).
    • Cosmo-Cleanse cannot be purchased for 72 Earth hours from the time a prior Limbus run was completed.
  • Obtain the key item Red Card, White Card, Black Card from the respective Aw'euvhi for the desired Limbus area (see below for more information).
    • The card will be obtained by all members of the alliance in Al'Taieu when the Aw'euvhi is defeated.
  • There is no minimum level or group size requirement; however, entry into a battlefield is limited to alliance members once one member has entered (up to 18).

How to Participate

Entry and Rules

  • After obtaining the Cosmo-Cleanse from Sagheera, proceed to the appropriate dimensional portal to be transported to the corresponding section of Al'Taieu:
    • Apollyon West: Dimensional Portal at Konschtat Highlands (Crag of Dem) (I-7)
    • Apollyon East: Dimensional Portal at Tahrongi Canyon (Crag of Mea) (J-6)
      • Note: Central Apollyon areas can be accessed from either side of Apollyon.
    • Temenos: Dimensional Portal at La Theine Plateau (Crag of Holla) (K-9)
  • After obtaining the appropriate card from an Aw'euvhi in the associated section of Al'Taieu, enter the desired Limbus zone:
  • Proceed to the battlefield entrance. Once all players are in the zone and prepared to enter, one player must first select and enter a battlefield. The remaining players will "hear a faint hum" and will then only be permitted to enter the same battlefield as the first player.
    • Certain Limbus areas can only be accessed by trading one or more required "chips" for entry to the entry point (obtained from other Limbus areas). Chips are only required from the first player who enters the area.
    • Upon entering the Limbus battlefield, both key items are lost and any utilized chips will grow dim and cannot be used again.
    • Up to 18 alliance members may enter the battlefield.
    • Players may join the battlefield for several minutes after one member of the alliance enters the battlefield (although they must have been in the alliance and in the zone at the time the battlefield was entered). However, once an enemy is engaged in combat, any players outside the battlefield will no longer be able to join.
    • Note: Limbus battlefields are not instanced, so only one group may occupy a battlefield at any given time. If a group does occupy the area, you will not be permitted to enter until shortly after they have exited.
  • Each area begins with a set time limit (from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the battlefield). In most areas, the time limit can be extended with time extension chests.
  • The exterior (non-central) Limbus areas are each several "floors" in length. Each Limbus area has unique clear conditions for its floors, and players may only proceed from one floor to the next upon completing the clear condition. It is not possible to return to a floor that you have moved beyond.
  • Opening the final item crate in a Limbus battlefield serves as the battlefield clear condition and will transport players from the battlefield back to the area lobby.

Chests

Three types of chests appear throughout each Limbus area.

There are three types of chests found in the Limbus areas.

  • Time Extension: Blue with Gold lining (Adds 5, 10, or 15 minutes to the remaining time depending on the zone.)
  • Items: Dark Brown with Gold lining (drops one or more of Ancient Beastcoins, AF+1 Materials, Chips, Synthesis Materials into the treasure pool)
  • Restore HP/MP/Abilities: Light Brown with Gray lining (restores all HP/MP and resets all Job Ability timers, including 2-hour abilities, to all alliance members in range)

The spawn (and despawn) conditions of chests act vary for each area of Limbus. In some areas you are forced to choose only one chest per level, while in others you can open every chest in the area. Chests may be readily accessible or may only appear after defeating certain enemies or a certain quantity of enemies.

Temenos

Temenos is split into eight battlefields which comprise four towers. All eight of the battlefields are accessible at the single Temenos entrance from (H-4) in Al'Taieu. The western, eastern, and northern towers of Temenos are each individual seven floor battlefields. The central tower is comprised of four floors above ground level and one basement, with each of the five floors making up a separate battlefield. Areas of the central tower can only be accessed with chips obtained from the other battlefields.

A White Card and Cosmo-Cleanse is required to enter any Temenos area in addition to any chips shown in the table below.

The Temenos area has a constant Element: LightElement: Light weather effect.

The two west battlefields (NW and SW) are accessible only via the entrance at (D-6) and require a Red Card and Cosmo-Cleanse for entry. The two central battlefields (central and CS) can be accessed from either of the two entrances and require either a Black Card or a Red Card as well as a Cosmo-Cleanse and the chips shown in the table below for entry.

Rewards

Limbus rewards are generally divided into three types:

Ancient Beastcoins

Ancient Beastcoins drop directly from enemies and in large quantities from item chests in Limbus and are used in two ways:

Ancient Beastcoins can be traded to Sagheera at any time and she will accumulate them for you until you have traded enough to make the desired purchases. Once traded, however, they cannot be retrieved from Sagheera.

Artifact Armor +1

In most Limbus areas, rare/ex job-specific artifact upgrade items can be obtained from item chests. For each job, there is one upgrade item obtained from Temenos and one obtained from Apollyon.

Artifact Armor +1 is obtained by trading the following items to Sagheera in Port Jeuno:

The upgrade items required are dependent on the job of the artifact armor being upgraded (see table below). The required synthesis material and number of Ancient Beastcoins varies (15~40) with each piece of armor. Once the current conquest week has ended (0:00 JST each Monday), the upgraded piece of armor will be completed and can be retrieved from Sagheera.
