Floor 120 (Boss)

Palace of the Dead • Floors 111–120

Boss: Kirtimukha

HP: 186163

Auto-attack: 1134

Ability	Potency	Effect
Bloody Caress	150	instant
Acid Mist	n/a	telegraphed pointblank AoE; inflicts poison (magic DoT potency 150, 30s)
Gold Dust	n/a	telegraphed circle AoE on random player; inflicts poison (magic DoT potency 150, 30s)
Leafstorm	200	roomwide AoE
Rotten Stench	1100	telegraphed wide line AoE

Notes:

Rotation:
- Bloody Caress
- Acid Mist
- Gold Dust
- Leafstorm
- Boss runs to north end and stays there until after Rotten Stench phase
- Two Deep Palace Hornet adds appear
- Rotten Stench x3
Full rotation takes 56 seconds
Kill adds quickly, or they will use Final Sting, which does 70% max HP damage (each). This can be outranged, but the adds will keep using it repeatedly until it hits or they die
If you use lust during the second Rotten Stench cast, it will last long enough to kill 2 sets of adds. Steel may be needed to survive long enough on non-tanks though
Rotten Stench will one-shot a DPS or healer without steel

Strength recommended
Superbolide can be used to block Final Sting from both adds, allowing you to ignore one set

Strength recommended
Probably best to save Fight or Flight for adds (though boss rotation is slightly quicker than recast time)
Without strength, you won't be able to consistently kill both adds. Instead, you can kill one and eat Final Sting from the other. Just make sure your HP is full for it. The boss will do Acid Mist at the same time, allowing you to heal up safely
Hallowed Ground can be used to block Final Sting from both adds, allowing you to ignore one set

Kill times:

9m with no offensive pomanders, killing only 1 bee per set (6.0)
6m30s with 1 lust to AoE first adds and boss, ignoring second set of adds by using Hallowed Ground for Final Stings, and killing only 1 bee per set after that (6.0)
6m15s with strength and 1 lust used to AoE first adds and boss, and killing all adds (6.0)

Easy with strength
Without strength, use 1 Phlegma + Dyskrasia to kill each pair of adds. Timing is tight but consistent - you should kill the adds just as they start casting Final StingBoss rotation is slightly longer than Phlegma recast time, so if you have 2 casts ready when the adds spawn, you can safely use them both
Boss rotation is slightly longer than Phlegma recast time, so if you have 2 casts ready when the adds spawn, you can safely use them both
If you're late dodging a poison AoE, it's faster to just tank both AoEs and Esuna afterward than to interrupt a Dosis cast to get out
Steel not needed when lusting thanks to Kardia

WAR

Holmgang can be used to survive Final Stings, allowing you to ignore one set of adds
For a faster kill, you can skip killing one of the adds in each set. Just make sure you're at full HP for Final Sting, and have a heal ready before the boss comes back at you. The boss uses Acid Mist at the same time as the adds' Final Sting, so this is actually pretty safe.

Kill times:

6m30s with 1 lust to AoE first adds and boss, ignoring second set of adds by using Holmgang for Final Stings, and killing only 1 bee per set after that (6.10)
4m30s with strength, 1 lust used to AoE first adds and boss, ignoring second set of adds by using Holmgang for Final Stings, and killing only 1 bee per set after that (6.08)

WHM

Easy with strength
Without strength, make sure to save your Assize for the adds. Aero the adds as soon as they spawn, then Assize + 3 Stone IIIs on each. If your Aero is late, autoattacks on the adds can make up for a DoT tick
If you're late dodging a poison AoE, it's faster to just tank both AoEs and Esuna afterward than to interrupt a Stone cast to get out
