+
+After the Ice Veil is broken and the intermission is completed,
+enjoy a long break through the lead-in of The Extreme
+as Gaia is possessed by Loghrif's memories
+and takes up her role as the {{mob(n="Oracle of Darkness")}}.
+
+As you might expect, this phase reprises mechanics from phase 2 of {{gloss(k="E12S")}}.
+It's a straightforward full-uptime phase where, again,
+you need to get the boss below 20% before enrage to proceed to the next phase.
+
+## Intro
+
+After the 37 seconds or so of downtime for the transition,
+the {{mob(n="Oracle of Darkness")}}---or just {{mob(n="Gaia")}}, as everyone calls
+her---becomes targetable.
+She kicks things off with {{cast(n="Hell's Judgment")}},
+which inflicts damage on everyone equal to their HP-1, ignoring migitation and shields.
+
+The usual effect of this is to set everyone to 1,
+but there's a brief gap between the moment when damage is computed and when it's applied.
+If your current HP changes in this time, you won't go to exactly 1.
+Pay careful attention to the cooldowns of Max HP-increasing abilities,
+as it's possible to die if they fall off after the snapshot.
+
+## Sequence 1: Ultimate Relativity
+
+The first sequence is {{cast(n="Ultimate Relativity")}},
+with its classically over-the-top cast animation.
+The cast is a raidwide in addition to starting the mechanic off,
+but unlike the {{cast(n=("Relativity"))}} casts from E12S,
+it seems like it is simply a normal raidwide rather than shared damage.[^2]
+The message "The laws of time are in chaos!" appears on the screen,
+although it's purely for flavour.
+
+The arena floor changes from dark blue to a bright teal colour for the duration of the mechanic,
+but this is a purely cosmetic effect.
+
+### Spells-in-Waiting
+
+What's *actually* in chaos is everyone's debuff bars, as everyone receives three spells-in-waiting.
+From left to right on the debuff bar, they are as follows:
+
+1. Every player receives a 10-, 20-, or 30-second {{buff(b="siw-fire", short=true)}}
+   or {{buff(b="siw-ice", short=true)}}:
+    1. Two {{supp(t="supports")}} and one {{dps()}}
+       each receive {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=30)}}.
+    2. One {{supp()}} and one {{dps()}} each receive {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=20)}}.
+    3. Two {{dps()}} and one {{supp()}} each receive {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=10)}}.
+    4. I lied a little bit.
+       Either the {{supp()}} with {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=10, short=true)}}
+       or the {{dps()}} with {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=30, short=true)}}
+       *actually* receives {{buff(b="siw-ice", dur=20)}} instead.
+
+    However, for the rest of the debuff breakdown,
+    I'm going to pretend the {{buff(b="siw-ice", short=true)}} doesn't exist,
+    and all players receive {{buff(b="siw-fire", short=true)}}.
+    It simplifies the explanations.
+
+1. Every player receives a 16- or 26-second {{buff(b="siw-return", short=true)}}.
+    1. The three players with {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=30, short=true)}} receive
+       {{buff(b="siw-return", dur=26)}},
+    2. The other five players receive {{buff(b="siw-return", dur=16)}}.
+
+1. Every player receives a 43-second {{buff(b="siw-gaze", short=true)}},
+   {{buff(b="siw-water", short=true)}}, or {{buff(b="siw-dark", short=true)}}:
+    1. The three players with {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=30, short=true)}} receive
+       {{buff(b="siw-gaze", dur=43)}}.
+    2. The {{dps()}} with {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=20, short=true)}} receives
+       {{buff(b="siw-water", dur=43)}}.
+    3. The remaining four players all receive {{buff(b="siw-dark", dur=43)}}.
+
+It perhaps comes as a bit of a surprise how tightly role-based the assignments are,
+given that this is an ultimate.
+Thankfully, though, it means that everything can be summarized in a single small table:
+
+| Role    | 2×  | 1×  | 1×  |
+| :-----: | :-: | :-: | :-: |
+| {{supp(t="Support")}} | {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=30, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-return", dur=26, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-gaze", dur=43, short=true)}} | {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=20, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-return", dur=16, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-dark", dur=43, short=true)}} | ({{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=10, short=true)}}/{{buff(b="siw-ice", dur=20, short=true)}}){{buff(b="siw-return", dur=16, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-dark", dur=43, short=true)}} |
+| {{dps()}} | {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=10, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-return", dur=16, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-gaze", dur=43, short=true)}} | {{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=20, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-return", dur=16, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-water", dur=43, short=true)}} | ({{buff(b="siw-ice", dur=20, short=true)}}/{{buff(b="siw-fire", dur=30, short=true)}}){{buff(b="siw-return", dur=26, short=true)}}{{buff(b="siw-gaze", dur=43, short=true)}} |
+
+When {{buff(b="siw-return")}} expires,
+the position of its bearer will be recorded with a blue marker,
+and the bearer will receive {{buff(b="return")}}.
+The duration of the {{buff(b="return")}} debuff will be either 24 or 14 seconds,
+so that the {{buff(b="return", short=true)}} expires 40 seconds after the start of the mechanic.
+
+[^2]: If anyone can actually *confirm* this, it would be appreciated,
+      as currently all I have is one person who said they "Don't think it is."
+
+### Hourglasses
+
+In addition to the debuffs, {{cast(n="Ultimate Relativity")}} summons
+eight {{mob(n="Delight's Hourglass")}}, one on each {{gloss(k="principal direction")}}.
+Because of their three-lobed appearance, and the various colours they had in E12S,
+they're often called "traffic lights" in the community.[^1]
+They are all green in this fight, however, so the anology doesn't work so well.
+
+Right after the {{mob(n="Hourglasses")}} appear, {{mob(n="Gaia")}} casts {{cast(n="Speed")}}.
+As she does so, three {{light(t="yellow")}} lines
+and two {{dark(t="purple")}} lines---with bright orbs in the middle---connect
+her to some of the {{mob(n="Hourglasses")}}.
+Although the orientation is random, the pattern is always the same:
+the three {{light(t="yellow")}} lines make a {{light(t="Y shape")}},
+while the two {{dark(t="purple")}} lines are {{dark(t="horizontal")}} relative to the Y.
+Note that {{mob(n="Gaia")}} herself does not change facing during this cast.
+
+The effect of {{cast(n="Speed")}} is
+to set up the order in which the {{mob(n="Hourglasses")}} use their one attack,
+{{cast(n="Sinbound Meltdown")}}.
+The {{light(t="yellow")}}-marked {{mob(n="Hourglasses")}} make up the {{light(t="first wave")}},
+the unmarked ones the {{cast(n="second wave")}},
+and the {{dark(t="purple")}} ones the {{dark(t="third wave")}}.
+The three waves happen approximately 16, 26, and 36 seconds after the start of the mechanic,
+with the first two corresponding to the expiry of the {{buff(b="siw-return")}} debuffs.
+
+As the {{mob(n="Hourglasses")}} cast {{cast(n="Sinbound Meltdown")}},
+there is an advance warning with either a clockwise {{light(t="yellow")}} indicator,
+or a counterclockwise {{water(t="blue")}} indicator,
+randomly selected for each {{mob(n="Hourglass")}}.
+This indicates the direction the attack will rotate.
+
+The attack itself is a laser
+targeted on the nearest player to the {{mob(n="Hourglass")}} in question.
+Two seconds later, the second laser fires, rotated a bit in the direction indicated.
+Eight more follow, one second apart, creating a total arc of roughly 120° across ten shots.[^3]
+
+[^1]: Also, absolutely no one looks at these things and thinks "hourglass!"
+      Seriously, what good is a three-chambered hourglass?
+[^3]: Exact angle measurements would be appreciated, if anyone has them.
+
+### Overall Timeline
+
+To come...
+
+At the end of the sequence,
+{{mob(n="Gaia")}} casts {{cast(n="Shockwave Pulsar")}}, a heavy raidwide,
+followed by {{cast(n="Black Halo")}}, a 2-stack tankbuster.
+
+## Sequence 2: Sextuple Apocalypse
+
+To come...
+
+## Enrage
+
+{{mob(n="Gaia")}} casts {{cast(n="Shockwave Pulsar")}} a second time
+before diving into {{cast(n="Memory's End")}}, her enrage cast.
+Get her below 20% HP before the end of the castbar to turn it into "only" a heavy raidwide,
+and clear the phase.
+
+In E12S, the enrage cast was notable for traveling relatively slowly out from the center,
+allowing players to put distance between them and the {{mob(n="Oracle of Darkness")}}
+in order to get an extra fraction of a second.
+That niche strat unfortunately isn't applicable here,
+as whether or not you advance to the next phase is determined when the cast goes off.
+
+## Acknowledgements
+
+Thanks to {{mob(n="Silent Bramble")}}, {{mob(n="Evansith")}},
+whoever worked out the debuff assignment pattern for {{cast(n="Ultimate Relativity")}},
+and all the usual suspects.

+### Akh Morn & Morn Afah
+
+The sequence wraps up with {{cast(n="Akh Morn")}}, followed by {{cast(n="Morn Afah")}}.
+Right before, there's another {{cast(n="Edge of Oblivion")}},
+followed by the bosses recentering---{{mob(n="Shiva")}} slightly west of center,
+and {{mob(n="Gaia")}} slightly east.
+They cast {{cast(n="Akh Morn")}} simultaneously.
+
+{{cast(n="Akh Morn")}} is a four-hit {{gloss(k="LP stack")}},
+with {{mob(n="Shiva")}} hitting her main target with columns of {{light()}},
+and {{mob(n="Gaia")}} hitting hers with columns of {{dark()}}.
+These inflict {{buff(b="akh-light", dur=4)}} and {{buff(b="akh-dark", dur=4)}}, respectively,
+forcing players to remain in the same stack for the entire mechanic.
+It will be a bad day if both bosses are targeting the same player when the attack goes off.
+
+Notably, the damage from {{cast(n="Akh Morn")}} pierces invulnerability
+but is still subject to mitigation.
+This allows a tank with proper mitigation to survive a hit solo,
+but not with an invuln.
+
+Right after {{cast(n="Akh Morn")}}, the roommates simultaneously cast {{cast(n="Morn Afah")}}.
+As mentioned above, this is a {{gloss(k="full-party stack")}} {{gloss(k="AoE")},
+but if the bosses are too far apart in HP,
+it's an instakill for anyone hit by it.
+
 ## Sequence 2: Crystallize Time
 
+{{mob(n="Gaia")}} teleports dead center,
+with {{mob(n="Shiva")}} just south of her,
+and the two cast {{cast(n="Crystallize Time")}},
+their second big mechanic.

 ## Enrage
 
-To come...
+The bosses wrap up by repeating the {{cast(n="Akh Morn")}}--{{cast(n="Morn Afah")}} sequence
+from earlier,
+followed by the enrage sequence.
+Only after the second {{cast(n="Morn Afah")}} can either of the bosses be killed;
+they will block at 1 HP if killed beforehand.
+
+{{mob(n="Shiva")}}'s enrage cast is {{cast(n="Ice Age")}},
+while {{mob(n="Gaia")}}'s is once again {{cast(n="Memory's End")}}.
+They go off at the same time, and either one is enough to wipe the party.
+If a boss is killed, however, their attack does not go off.
+Both bosses must be killed to advance to phase 5...
+
+with hope that the {{mob(n="Fragment of Fate")}} survived...
