Markers

  • AC are for orientation. A is important because the boss will teleport a little north of the center during the fight.
  • 12 are for water stacks - have the MT bring the boss center and face A right after the final Lightwaves to avoid confusion during the party stack→light party stack sequence.

BD34 are often omitted, but they demarcate the safe spots behind the crystals during Lightwaves.
