Final Fantasy 14: Recollection Trial Walkthrough

Final Fantasy XIV: Recollection (7.2 Trial) Complete Guide

Recollection, a level 100 trial introduced in FFXIV Patch 7.2 (Seekers of Eternity), challenges players with the automaton Queen's Knight, Zelenia. This guide covers unlocking the trial, its two phases, and strategies for overcoming Zelenia's attacks.

Unlocking Recollection

Recollection unlocks immediately after completing the Patch 7.2 dungeon, The Underkeep. Both are accessed via the quest "Descent to the Foundation," obtained from Shale in The Backroom, Solution Nine (X:6.0, Y:6.3). This is the sixth Main Scenario Quest of Patch 7.2. An item level of 715 is required.

Recollection Trial Walkthrough

The arena features a damaging AoE at its edges. Avoid this throughout the fight.

Phase 1

Attack Name	Type	Details
Alexandrian Thunder IV	Circle/Ring AoE	Two AoEs appear: a smaller circle around the boss and a larger ring covering the rest of the arena. Determine safe zones based on appearance order.
Shock	Continuous AoE Markers	AoE markers target players, dropping circular AoEs after a countdown. Spread and move out of your AoE to avoid continuous damage.
Power Break	Half-circle AoE	Zelenia slashes, damaging half the arena. The affected half depends on her sword's angle.
Holy Hazard	Conal AoEs	Two sets of consecutive cone AoEs. Position yourself between the first two cones, then move to the new safe zone to avoid the second set.
Specter of the Lost	Double AoE Tankbuster	High-damage conal AoE targets both tanks. Tanks should spread, use cooldowns, and ensure others aren't behind them.
Thunder Slash	AoEs	Six sequential arena slices are attacked, combined with Alexandrian Thunder IV. Coordinate movement based on both attack patterns.

At approximately 80% health, Zelenia transitions to Phase 2.

Phase 2

Phase 2 retains Phase 1 attacks and introduces new mechanics:

Attack Name	Type	Details
Roseblood Bloom	Special	Divides the arena into six segments; some become "active" (red).
Alexandrian Thunder III	Circle AoEs	Circle AoEs; hitting active Roseblood Bloom segments causes them to explode.
Alexandrian Thunder IV	Circle/Ring AoE	Same as Phase 1, but hitting active Roseblood Bloom segments causes explosions.
Stock Break	Continuous Stack Marker	A random player receives a stack marker. The group should gather on the marked player to share damage; healers provide consistent healing.
Roseblood Drop	Special	An orb moves towards a Roseblood Bloom segment, activating it (turning it red). Treat the orb's target area as dangerous before it's activated.
Valorous Ascension	Roomwide AoE	Multiple hits of damage to the entire party. Use AoE healing and party-wide mitigation.
Briar Thorn	Line AoE	Two pairs of circles appear, firing line AoEs across the arena in the order they appeared. Alternate positioning to avoid both sets.
Thorned Catharsis	Roomwide AoE	A single, high-damage hit to the entire raid.

Zelenia repeats these attacks until defeated. Mastering Roseblood Bloom and its related AoEs is crucial. Pay close attention to Roseblood Drop's movement to anticipate active segments. Careful observation of AoE patterns will improve survivability.
