Terminus (The Blood Moon)
The section provides an overview of how to track down and defeat the Notorious Mark for the Terminus Hunt.
In-Game Description
“After the collapse of the Fallen civilization, their technology slept silently within the ruins of their airships for many a long year. However, of late, these “echoes” of the Fallen age have begun to awaken, attacking any strangers on sight—presumably as they were designed to do. While some are easily escaped, this particular echo persists in pursuing its targets until they lie dead in the dust.”
Unlock Conditions
This Hunt becomes available at the beginning of the 
Brotherhood Main Scenario Quest, but only after you’ve visited the infirmary.
Notorious Mark Location
This Notorious Mark is located in the same area where you fought the Bomb King. This area is called “The Crock,” which you can reach by going through “The Imperial Chase.” Warp to 
The Dragon’s Aery Obeliskand head south.
Battle Tactics
Notorious Mark Battle
Class: XXX
HP: XXX
This mark is the same as the Control Node boss that you fought in Reverie. Here is a recap of some of the attacks you can expect:
- Lunge Attack: The Control Node will wind up backwards before lunging across the battlefield towards Clive.
- Horizontal Laser: A protrusion will extend from the top of the Control Node. This is its laser beam gun. It will rotate downward toward Clive and begin glowing before emitting a laser beam in its direction. It will then rotate horizontally towards Clive. This attack is easy to dodge if you see the laser beam charging up.
- Vertical Laser: This attack is similar to the Horizontal Laser, except that the protrusion begins by pointing downward before rotating upward toward the ceiling.
- Electric Field: The Control Node will split into two halves and begin emitting an electric field. After a short period, an electrical explosion will cause damage in an area around its point of origin.
- Lightning Balls: The Control Node will move to the edge of the stage and split in half with electricity flowing between the two halves. Three balls of electricity will shoot out from the Control Node towards Clive, which can be dodged or counterattacked with
Heatwave. - Short Circuit: The words “Short Circuit” will appear on the screen when this attack is used. All of the nodes on its body will begin emitting lasers, and the Control Node will rotate the forward-facing laser towards Clive’s location. You can just run or dodge to the left or right to avoid the attack. Make sure not to get too close during the attack sequence.
- Charging Cells: The Control Node will move to the center of the room and begin charging a powerful attack. As it does this, it will slowly rise upwards and slam down to the ground, emitting an electrical discharge in all directions. Be sure to get out of range when it slams down. Use some of your Eikonic Abilities, like
Gigaflare, to burn through it quickly and prevent the attack from going off.

Next Steps
There are five Hunts that can be completed at the start of the “Brotherhood” subchapter. You should be done, though, if you’ve been completing them in order. They are listed below, just for reference:
Gobermouch
“A rogue goblin has been sighted several times in the abandoned village of Eistla, presumably drawn by the stores left behind when the villagers departed for Reverie. Though said villagers will not be returning, we shall surely seek to reclaim the village for mankind once this is all over. I suggest that we end the goblin’s misery now, before he tears the houses down in his search for sustenance.”
Bygul
“Among the diverse beasts that make their home in Waloed, there are many that seem not to be a creation of nature, but of some malign god. Bygul is one such creature—a cat that takes an almost perverse delight in hunting down the few survivors of the human race that yet survive on the fat continent, and toying with them as a child might a doll—complete with the chewing of their extremities.”
Agni
“A band of Cursebreakers making a first foray into Waloed encountered this creature near the road through Halfcombe. Though those with memory of Ash before its fall knew Agni as a peaceable beast—one worshipped as the “Jarlkona of the north”—the aether has since addled its mind, sending it barreling hither and yon, crushing anything in its path. To end its torment would be a mercy.”
Thanatos
“Travelers of the Gilded Path share stories of the crystal giant—a beast who haunts the paths less trodden, illuminating the shadowy canyons with the unmistakable blue glow of aether, and painting them red with the blood of his victims. If our suspicions are correct and this creature is another construct of Ultima, then only by laying him low might we truly begin to live on our own terms.”
Terminus
“After the collapse of the Fallen civilization, their technology slept silently within the ruins of their airships for many a long year. However, of late, these “echoes” of the Fallen age have begun to awaken, attacking any strangers on sight—presumably as they were designed to do. While some are easily escaped, this particular echo persists in pursuing its targets until they lie dead in the dust.”
