A Requiem for Heroes is a game where players control a different character and learn new skills at the start of the duty. The boss likes players to force them away from them, using various weapons. Players should keep Aero rolling on all three swords, Presence of Mind, and nuke it like there’s no tomorrow. IIRC Assize can catch two of them at the same time.
Initially, players start as Hien with four skills on the pet bar, and Lyse and Yugiri will fight alongside them. Follow standard mechanics for this part. Players should get a full set of Augmented Scaevan gear and save all.
Patch 4.5 (A Requiem for Heroes – Part 1) presents a war looming once again, with Ala Mhigo taking its first breath of freedom when the Empire reaches out with the Zenos boss. During the Zenos boss fight, everything goes sideways due to a timer issue. Players should use the support pet, not Eos, to reduce spell cast time and use Fey Wind to reduce spell cast time.
To beat Zenos, players can slot Earth Wall on everyone, stay in a tight formation, buff with Clock Up Ex, and stay protected. With 380 gear, they can rofl stomp the encounter and destroy everything above ilvl 380.
In conclusion, A Requiem for Heroes is a challenging game where players must learn new skills and rearrange their hotbar to face the boss and defeat the enemies.

Hello everyone my names Neon Genesis and this is my guide to the duty Requiem Of Heroes. This fight is divided into 2 Phases.

What a way to end Stormblood. I’m looking forward to seeing what Shadowbringers has in store for me.
For a tank role doing this, you can do this fight at ilvl 360. To kill the 3 swords you will need to save all of your damage buff cooldowns. -Eat Crit+ Direct Hit food -Engage Sword oath -As soon as the swords spawn, pop fight or flight -(PLD) use Circle of Scorn and spirits within on the sword and royal auth combo -Second sword, Royal auth combo. Dodge rectangle AOE, but STAY inside Cone AOE. -Sprint to third sword, your scorn and spirits withing abilities should be up again – use these again, and you should just barely make it.
As of 10/18/23, I’ve been defeated 15 times when my hero fights him. It’s 11/25/23 defeated 35 times, I’m about to call it quits as of 12/20/23 been defeated 43 times ( always getting killed at 3:14 )cannot get pass it. aS OF 1/25/24 BEEN DEFEATED 65 TIMES. Don’t think I can get pass this thing. It’s always the same area.
I cleared this duty as a white mage, with your help, the vid was very usefull! Tip for future white mages: use assize when zenos summons the three swords, it will hit two them (if you move down a little) and focus them down using aero and stone. For the last sword use presence of mind then focus the sword down using aero and stone. Thats how I dealt with that part of the fight ” the dps check”. Also make sure your gear is up to par. I did this at ” ilvl 373″
I play on White Mage and got killed during the sword section. I saw the guide building up so I figured I was going to have to take down the swords. Unfortunately while I destroyed one, I wasn’t fast enough to destroy the second. Magic users will always have a disadvantage when it comes to needing to DPS, but I’m glad your guide is here to confirm what I need to do during that phase. I don’t think it’s impossible — I have skills like Swiftcast and Presence of Mind to help with the time it takes to cast my spells, and someone below in the comments suggested avoiding the line AoEs but not worrying about the cone AoEs because they take too much time to worry about. Hopefully my next go around won’t be so frustrating, though I wish I didn’t have to play through that Hien fight every time I redo this. It would be great if we could just re-start a failed duty from the battle we lost instead of having to do the whole thing over again.
wow I’m 4 years behind, just coming back to playing and all I can say is this is a horrible fight. BLM with ilvl383, can’t get any higher gear at the moment. It’s my third attempt and can’t even get the second sword down half way, this is ridiculous. Not enough time for BLM to do anything in this fight, its impossible to get anything past fire3 to pop, definitely not going to lvl another job just to do this, if it keeps going this way I’m not returning after my 14 day return trial. Did I mention its on “very easy?” lol
It helped me not much. I play as Dark Mage and had to keep up certain Set Ups until the Point where Zenos summoned the three Swords. I had Enochian ready, Three Umbral Hearts and just had to cast Fire 3 to use Triple Cast and get my three Fire 4 out instantly. Rembering in which order Zenos AoE Attacks come in helps too since they are always in the same Order.
