This guide gives a brief explanation of what CLL offers and a quick refresher for the Veterans.
You do not have to follow everything written in this guide! But you can use it as a reference to make the loadout that suits you the most.
Preparing for Castrum Lacus Litore
Preparing for Castrum Lacus Litore
Once CLL pops, It has a 5mins countdown timer for you to get ready, and another 2min timer for you to join.
You can setup your holster at the Lost Cache within the instance, but you are unable to appraise any fragments.
Below are some suggested holster configurations. If it is your first time doing CLL, Just do your best to not die!
Lost Impetus (Highly Recommended)
Clearing rooms can be much faster if you can move faster. Explanations on how to clear the rooms will be explained in detail further down the guide.
Lost Spellforge / Lost Steelsting (Optional)
Boss 1 and Trash 1 are mostly Magitek mobs! The raid only requires 1 person to cast Lost Spellforge on everyone.
DPS Actions (Highly Recommended)
You are free to take any actions that fits you most! If your party does not have a Healer. Lost Cure IV is also recommended.
Note 1: For tanks, It's recommended to be on Essence of the Bloodsucker if you do not have a healer (or regen actions)
Note 2: Melee & Ranged classes should use Essence of the Beast with Lost Assasination as it grants you Spirit of the Beast (which gives you Lost Font of Power effect)
Spirit of the Beast
Physical DPS deals damage with life leech per hit. Beast also grants additional HP and Def buff.
NOTE: BOTH FIGHTS MUST START AT THE SAME TIME. MTs should call the ET when they are ready
Brionac & 4th Legion Helldiver (Boss 1)
Brionac & 4th Legion Helldiver (Boss 1)
Applying Lost Spellforge on players can make the run go faster.
For players above Rank 21: You can bring along Lost Burst too, to apply during burst windows for monumental bullying
Both Brionac and 4th Legion Helldiver are Magitek mobs (lower resistance against magic damage).
If any side kills first, they will be swarmed with Trash mobs, which may be harsh against the Main Tank if they are ungeared! Have more tanks turn on their stance or get ready to heal!

Albeleo The Maleficient (and his summons)
Albeleo The Maleficient (and his summons)
Highly recommended to use AOE actions, since killing Albeleo early does not stop the mobs from spawning.
Occasionally Spawns 2 massive Dogs that will tether to Albeleo (invul) and cast a huge AOE, can be interjected. Kill the 2 dogs before continuing.
There will be a look-away mechanic with more AOEs to dodge, Recommended to dodge to the North instead of the South, as you will have a easier time to avoid Conal AOEs than to run out of Range.

Suggested Lost Actions
Lost Impetus
Lost Death + Essence Ordained (Casters & Healers)
Lost Assassination + Essence Beast (Melee + Ranged)
Tanks can bring along Lost Assassination, but might be hard to use if you're the Main Tank.
You can shirk to someone first before using it
After clearing the room, a pad will light up. One player will only have to step on it once for it to activate.
Once all 6 room's pad is activated, a big magitek will spawn in the middle of the hall before the gate.
Defeating it will gain you access to fight Adrammelech. Use it to charge up your skills!
Adrammelech (Boss 2)
Adrammelech (Boss 2)
Applying Lost Steelsting on players dealing magic damage, can help the fight go faster!
For players above Rank 21: You can bring along Lost Rampage too, to apply during burst windows for monumental bullying
Elemental Orbs Priority: Water > Fire / Ice > Wind / Thunder / Earth
Water = Knockback from center
Ice = Freezes players that are not moving (Casting does not count)
Fire = Pyretic, Deals damage to players who are moving or auto-attacking (Improvisation (DNC), Flamethrower (MCH), Passage of Arms (PLD) and Collective Unconsciousness (AST) does not count)
Thunder = Large AOE circle in the middle
Wind = Outer Donut AOE. Stay in the middle.
Earth = AOE starts in middle and cascades out into donut AOEs. Wait for the middle AOE to explode first then step inside. Use the circular lines as a gauge for how wide the explosions are.
Potential Pairings:
If Water + Wind. Water occurs first, either knockback from the centre or use anti-knockback. Avoid Wind at the outer edge.
If Water + Earth. Water occurs first, use anti-knockback and stand next to the inner circle. After the first Earth resolves, move in to resolve the cascading effect.
If Water + Thunder, Water occurs first, stand between two circular lines to be knocked into the edge, or anti-knockback and stand on the edge. This will avoid Thunder.
Easy Water mechanics: Water + Fire, get knocked and stop moving. Don't greed this. Water + Ice, get knocked, and keep moving.
If Earth + Fire, Fire occurs first. Stand at the furthest edge and stop moving. Wait for Fire to resolve first, before moving inside to avoid Earth mechanic
Easy Earth mechanics: Earth + Ice, Earth occurs first. Stand near the middle and keep moving. Once Earth resolves, move in and keep in motion to resolve Ice. Earth + Thunder, Earth occurs first. Stand near the middle and once Earth resolves, move in to avoid the Thunder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does 224 UP or 215 DOWN means?
224 UP means you have 2 Tanks, 2 Healers and 4 DPS and your team is heading upstairs (to fight Brionac or Lyon).
214 DOWN means you have 2 Tanks, 1 Healer and 5 DPS and your team is staying downstairs to fight 4th Legion or Dawon.
We usually shout our team composition to know what the raid is lacking at one sight. If necessary, a swap might happen if a party does not have a healer or tank for example. Or for the other players within the party to prep necessary Lost Actions that might help heal or mitigate damages. Depending on which phase you are at, Up can mean either Brionac or Lyon.
2. How do you know whose going to what rooms?
2. How do you know whose going to what rooms?
Elemental DC assigns the Rooms by Letter. Starting from the left, top to bottom: A top, B middle, C bottom. Starting from the right, top to bottom: D top, E middle, F bottom.
What does B > E means?
What does B > E means?
When the raid is undersized, players will call for two rooms they are planning to tackle. In this example, this team will not be going to the upper floor rooms. Often these teams will not kill the bosses as saving the prisoner means more loot and chests after killing the second boss.
3. No one is saying anything for Lyon
3. No one is saying anything for Lyon
Some parties might already have a plan on going up. They might not mention anything but wait for the fight to start. If the raid is still standing around and not moving, it might be either waiting for newcomers to finish the cutscene or waiting on role confirmation.
To confirm, you can always ask "{Up} {Who?}"
If no one replies and you are still standing there, feel free to make a party yourself to go up!
Note: Lyon will randomly pull 8 players who do not have aggro on Dawon up to fight him. He enrages and wipes the whole raid if you do not get him to 50% by second raging wind (~1:40).
Recent Elemental DC players do not call for Lyon but instead will randomly click and go up. This can save time to form a new party. There are no known raid wide in Lyon that can kill. It is possible to not get hit by any mechanics in Lyon.
4. Is undersized possible?
4. Is undersized possible?
Yes! However, you will have to be prepared to take on more roles.
For Boss 1.
Ideal split would be 1 Tank (with healing actions: potions / cure IV) and 1 DPS above. And 6 players below to resolve the mech without anyone dying.
As mentioned in the Rooms guide. The Magitek outside B and E are the easiest to get rid of fast to get to your prisoner / executioner. Lost Death, Lost Assasination and Impetus are highly recommended when attempting an undersized run.
If you have less than 8 for Lyon/Dawon, Lyon will pull up everyone except the one that has main aggro on Dawon, Ideally a tank as Dawon will be invulnerable but still doing mechanics! There's also adds. I would recommend the tank who has previously have healing actions to remain below.
4. How frequent does Castrum Lacus Litore spawn?
4. How frequent does Castrum Lacus Litore spawn?
The timer on CLL is every 1 hour from the last exit.
It can be reduced with more Skirmishes and Critical Engagements cleared.
There is also a minimum number of players that are eligible for it to spawn (still investigating number, seems to be 5 or 8)
