Final Fantasy XIV: Containment Bay Z1T9 (Zurvan) Trial Guide

Containment Bay Z1T9 is a level 60 trial in Final Fantasy XIV where you confront Zurvan, the final member of the Warring Triad. Once a symbol of victory, Zurvan, imprisoned by the Allagan Empire, seeks vengeance after centuries of accumulating power. To access this trial, you must first complete the Sephirot and Sophia trials via the quests "When the Bough Wakes" and "Balance unto All." Afterwards, obtain the quest "The Last Pillar to Fall" from Unukalhai in The Rising Stones (X:6, Y:5).

This guide details Zurvan's attacks and mechanics. Note that experienced groups often mitigate some mechanics; therefore, some strategies described below might not be encountered in every run.

Unlocking Containment Bay Z1T9

Complete "When the Bough Wakes" and "Balance unto All" to unlock the Sephirot and Sophia trials. Then, accept "The Last Pillar to Fall" from Unukalhai (The Rising Stones, X:6, Y:5) to unlock the Zurvan fight.

Zurvan Fight Strategy

The fight unfolds in four phases.

Phase 1

The initial phase takes place in a Circular arena. Zurvan employs these attacks:

Attack Name	Type	Details
Metal Cutter	Conal AoE	Damages the boss's front; the tank should position Zurvan to avoid hitting the party.
Flare Star	Circle AoE	Random players are targeted; move to avoid the AoE circles.

As these attacks occur, portions of the arena collapse. Avoid standing on these sections to prevent instant death. Once three quarters of the arena are destroyed, Zurvan casts The Purge, initiating Phase 2.

Phase 2

The arena changes, featuring a damaging AoE at its perimeter. Zurvan uses these attacks:

Attack Name	Type	Details
Soar	Line AoE	Zurvan creates clones that dash; evade the line AoEs.
Flaming Halberd	AoE Marker	Two players are targeted; spread out to avoid overlapping AoEs. Demonic Dive follows immediately.
Demonic Dive	Stack Marker	One player is targeted; stack on that player to share damage.
Wave Cannon	Line AoE	High damage to the front, inflicting Vulnerability Up; move behind Zurvan to avoid.
Ice Puddle	AoE	Appears under Zurvan; avoid to prevent Leaden and Frostbite.
Biting Halberd	Conal AoE	Large conal AoE; a safe spot exists directly behind Zurvan.
Southern Cross	AoE	Random players are targeted; evade the AoE telegraphs.
Ciclicle	Ring AoE	Large ring AoE; a safe spot is around Zurvan.
Tail End	Point Blank AoE	Damages the area around Zurvan; move away.

Zurvan becomes untargetable, summoning adds, signaling Phase 3.

Phase 3

Three waves of adds spawn. The main tank should group the adds while the party eliminates them. Once cleared, Zurvan unleashes his ultimate attack, leading to Phase 4.

Phase 4

Similar to Phase 2, but with additional mechanics:

Attack Name	Type	Details
Tyrfing	Tankbuster	Multiple hits on the main tank, ending with Fire III; use defensive cooldowns.
Broken Seal	Special	Players are marked with Infinite Ice or Infinite Fire; move to the corresponding meteor marker to prevent damage.

These mechanics repeat until Zurvan's defeat. Prioritize avoiding the Soar, Flaming Halberd, and Demonic Dive combo. Careful attention to Broken Seal debuff assignment is crucial to prevent meteor impacts.
