The Abyssal Fracture (Extreme)

Shortly after, those grid cells explode in a large chariot that deals heavy damage and inflicts Vulnerability Up. At the same time, lights travel to the other four cells, which are next to explode.

There are a limited number of patterns. At least one of the northmost cells (within Zeromus's hitbox) is always safe.

The first tower always appears in the southeast of the arena, the second tower in the northwest.

When the towers resolve massive fireballs descend on the tower, sink halfway into the floor, and stay there. Players who do not exit the fireball immediately suffer continuous damage from Scald.

The attack leaves behind 3 crosses in the arena.

The positions of the comets are fixed, with small variations. 11 of them will always come down in the front of the arena, rendering that entire hitbox unsafe. The remaining 3 comets are placed on the far east, far west, and far south of the arena.

Next, a Dalamud symbol appears next to the southern comet, and 4 [distance tethers](mt:mech.tether.distance) attach themselves to 4 players as Zeromus begins to cast Meteor Impact. Additionally, each tether has a blue rounded rectangle underneath it that turns red when it intersects with a comet.

After some time, the 4 players are inflicted with Bind, preventing further movement as comets shoot out from the Dalamud symbol to their current location. If their tether was red-purple, they will instantly die. If their rectangle was red, the comet will explode, causing a Massive Explosion that wipes the party. Any players (except for the baiters themselves) standing in the path of a comet will also instantly die. If both their rectangle and tether was resolved correctly, a comet will drop on their current position and Bind will fall off.

Be aware that, if the ends (the rounded parts) of two rectangles intersect, both rectangles will appear blue, but will then briefly flash red as the comets shoot out and cause a wipe anyway. This is because the comets aren't technically intersecting until they actually come out.

During the Meteor Impact cast, the other 4 players also receive a tether and rectangle from a Dalamud symbol on the other side, but their comets won't shoot out until a few seconds after the first comets have resolved. Be aware that the last 4 players will have even less space available, due to the comets dropped by the first group. The second group also has much less time to move into their positions before being inflicted with Bind. If the first group dropped their comets in inopportune places, the mechanic may not be resolvable for the second group. In this case, it is preferable to keep your tether short and thereby kill yourself, rather than hitting another comet and killing the whole party.

The tethers will always target either all DPS or all supports, unless people are dead.

After both groups' tethers are resolved, all comets explode in a large telegraphed chariot AoE.

After being dropped, there is a grace period of a few seconds before the black hole becomes active. Any player caught in its radius after that point is sucked in and instantly killed.
