Heroines’ Holdfast Overview
Heroines’ Holdfast is a special battlefield made in celebration of the 10th year anniversary of FINAL FANTASY XI, which will pit you against a series of female protagonists after accomplishing criteria similar to that found in Nyzul Isle assault.
Party Setup
- 6 person party
- No level cap (level 99)
How to Play
1. Trade an Athena Orb to the Runic Gate in Alzaadal Undersea Ruins to enter the battlefield once your party is ready to go.
2. Your party will begin with a 15 minute timer, but each time a heroine is defeated, your time will be extended by 15 minutes.
3. Once entering the battlefield you will find several Rune of Transfer labeled #1-#5, each one having a different difficulty indicated by a number of stars.
Floor 1: Lion
Floor 2: Prische
Floor 3: Aphmau
Floor 4: Lilisette
Floor 5: ???
*Floor 1 is easiest and increases in difficulty up to floor 5.
4. Each Rune of Transfer will take you to a different heroines' floor, where a Nyzul isle Assault-like challenge must be completed before facing each heroine.
5. Be sure to talk to all the various NPCs on each floor, as they might just have some things to help you out.
6. Good luck!
