Multiboxing is strictly forbidden in Dynamis. It can crash your client and/or bring the server down.

Strategy

Basic Strategy

(Optional) Clear ahriman directly west of the zone entrance. These can also be avoided by following the wall closely to the north.
Alliances stage northwest of the first time extension (Tombstone Prototype 94).
(Optional) Clear ahriman to the the first time extension. It is also possible to pull one Vanguard Eye without linking the rest, allowing mages to get in close enough to kill the time extension.
Avoiding Vanguard Eyes 188, 192, and 196, clear ahriman to the west, including time extension Icon Prototype 382. See notes below for details.
Proceed north, avoiding Vanguard Eyes 337 and 358.
Clear Vanguard Eyes 219, 224, 228, and time extension Tombstone Prototype 233.
To avoid future linking, pull and clear Vanguard Eye 344.
Clear Vanguard Eyes 496-500, including NMs Count Zaebos (WAR), Duke Berith (RDM), and Marquis Decarabia (BRD).
Clear Vanguard Eyes 502-507, including NMs Duke Gomory (MNK), Marquis Andras (BST), and Prince Seere (WHM).
Clear Vanguard Eyes 516-520, including NMs Duke Scox (DRK), Marquis Gamygyn (NIN), and Marquis Orias (BLM).
Clear Vanguard Eyes 509-513, including NMs Marquis Sabnak (PLD), Count Raum (THF), and Marquis Nebiros (SMN).
Clear Vanguard Eyes 522-527, including NMs Count Vine (SAM), King Zagan (DRG), and Marquis Cimeries (RNG).
Pull and clear time extension Statue Prototype 529.
Clear ahriman to final time extension, Statue Prototype 454.
Clear Vanguard Dragons. It is not necessary to kill all ten, but many of them are in the way of potential kiting routes.
Clear Ying and Yang. Ying and Yang must be defeated within twenty seconds of each other, or the surviving dragon will resummon the one previously defeated (which must be cleared again).

Boss Strategy

There are various strategies that are used for the Dynamis Lord. DynamisBums uses the terrain to limit the number of people exposed to the heavily-damaging AoE the Dynamis Lord users, and a few RDM/DRK to try to prevent them by using Chainspell and Stun.

At some point prior to the beginning of the fight, jobs should be changed and alliances should be reconfigured towards an offensive-heavy setup. Because the point of this fight is to kill the Dynamis Lord as quickly as possible, support itself should be at a minimum. Our alliances are recreated to attempt to get as many melee as possible in a party with a BRD to boost damage through Soul Voice-enhanced songs.

Prior to pull: if necessary, Chainspell and Invicible orders are determined and announced.
1 minute prior to pull: Alliances finish casting buffs.
45-30 seconds prior to pull: BRDs use Soul Voice and appropriate songs for their party.
15 seconds prior to pull: ALL players use Poison/Venom potions to prevent being slept by Dynamis Lord's possible Sleepga cast.
At this point, no players should be casting spells or resting.
Pull: One player pulls Dynamis Lord from its position at Castle Zvhal (avatar, Shadowbind, etc.) and brings it towards the melee/tank position.
First PLD Provokes and Flashes the Dynamis Lord and uses Invincible once it is within range of both the melee and the BLMs on the cliff above to fix it in position.
First RDM/DRK begins Chainspell and Stun, preventing the Dynamis Lord from acting or casting any spells.
Note: It is imperative that both the PLD and RDM act quickly to prevent the Dynamis Lord from casting or damaging the waiting alliances.
While the Dynamis Lord is stunned, melee alliances rush in to apply damage as quickly as possible.
Next in Invincible and Chainspell orders should be used as necessary, repeating until Dynamis Lord has been defeated.
Dynamis Lord will occasionally summon copies of itself when using Tera Slash and Oblivion Smash.
Dynamis Lord will resummon Ying and Yang 90 seconds after being pulled. Ying and Yang can be pulled away, but they will occasionally lose hate to assist the Dynamis Lord.

Defeating Dynamis Lord does not grant a time extension. Members of the alliance "defeating" the Dynamis Lord receive the title "Lifter of Shadows."

Animated Weapon Strategy

Spawning the Attestation Hydra NMs is accomplished by killing the Vanguard Eye (479) in the tower furthest northwest in Dynamis-Beaucedine. This is easiest accomplished by taking a small, high-powered group (no more than one party, including support) through the Hydra area for the sole purpose of clearing nothing but the trigger Vanguard Eye. The generally recommended strategy involves training most of the Vanguard Eyes on the path, along with their Hydra, with two intentional wipes prior to arriving at the trigger Vanguard Eye.

Alliances clear Vanguard Eye 347 on the ramp leading towards Xarcabard.
(Optional) Alliances clear Vanguard Eyes 389 and 392.
Train Vanguard Eyes along the white route, stopping at the ramp indicated by Waypoint #1. All members should have Flee (through a job ability or use of an item), and use Poison/Venom Potions to avoid being slept along the way. In addition, all members should have Reraise to be able to continue to progress, in the event something goes wrong.
Stop at Waypoint #1 and die.
Once medication and Weakness effects have worn off, repeat the process to the area marked as Waypoint #2.
Once Weakness wears off, camp east of the tower. One player will need to aggro the Vanguard Eye by proximity and drag the spawning Hydra south. The hourglass can be dropped after pulling the Hydra out of the tower to prevent being KO'd and stranded in the area.
Another player must be close enough in range to pull the Vanguard Eye out of the link and bring it back to the remaining group to be killed without initially aggroing the Hydra spawned by the Vanguard Eye. Note: There is a delay between the initial spawn and time Hydra enemies acquire their targets.
Once the Vanguard Eye is killed, the Attestation NMs will spawn in their towers, and players can Warp/Teleport or drop their hourglasses and reenter Dynamis to rejoin the other alliances.

General Advice

All Vanguard pets (Crows, Hecteyes, Scorpions, Slimes) including Hydras' Hounds (casts Blindga) appear in this zone. Keep them away from the main alliances and consistently slept/lullabied and silenced.
Vanguard Eyes have substantially greater HP than their counterparts in Dynamis-Xarcabard (~200-300%). They cannot be easily killed by the minimum number of BLMs required for the same task in Dynamis-Xarcabard.
Time extension Vanguard Eye 381 must be first spawned by defeating Vanguard Eye 353.
Time extension Vanguard Eye 456 must be first spawned by defeating Vanguard Eyes 432, 435, and 457.
Attestation NMs can be easily be pulled from their accompanying Hydra through a sacrifice pull. Proper positioning may be necessary for NMs that can move at a faster rate of speed (Goublefaupe). It may also be necessary to assign several players to pull additional pets when fighting Dagourmarche.
