Requirements: At least Full AK (Amdapor Keep)/Darklight Gear
Party requirements: It's possible to complete this dungeon in a duty find group, but highly unlikely. A good party setup would be 5 DPS, 2 Healers, and a single tank. Having two tanks is a complete waste. If you have enough dps with only 4 people you can also go a safer route and grab three healers and a single tank.
The Guide:
First things first, a lot of people like to build the Limit Break (LB) Gauge during phase one so that they can ensure you make it past phase 4. If you have to rely on the limit break, you may be best finding a group with a bit more DPS to ease up the final phase of the fight. If your group asks you to aa (Auto-Attack) or build LB, you're going to end up auto-attacking until the bar is halfway full, until then you may start doing burst DPS. (What I mean is doing as much damage as possible). Now that that's out of the way it's time to move on to the big stuff.
Titan uses the same moveset every single battle, the only thing that changes is who he decides to target with landslide, gaols, and weight of the land.
Here's a comprehensive rotation: Phase 1:
Landslide > Tumolt(This is the name of his stomp attack. For ease of access, I'll simply call it stomp from now on) > Landslide > Stomp > Geocrush(From this point on I'll simply refer to this as Jump)
Phase 2:
Weight of the Land>Landslide>Stomp>Weight of the Land>Landslide>Jump
Phase 3:
Geocrush >Landslide>Weight of the Land>Bombs>Landslide>Weight of the Land > Gaol>Stomp>Landslide>Weight of the Land>Bombs>Landslide>Weight of the Land> Gaol>Stomp>Landslide>Jump
Phase 4: The heart
Stomp>Gaol>Landslide>Weight of the Land>Stomp> Gaol>Land slide> Weight of the Land >Jump(but not Geocrush, this time he uses Earthen fury. Depending on if you destroyed the heart or not this will either wipe your entire party or do massive damage)
Phase 5: Wrapping up
Mountain Buster>Stomp>Weight of the Land>Bombs>Landslide>Weight of the Land>Gaol>Landslide
Here is a list of what each attack does:
Tumolt(stomp): This is a massive AOE that is unavoidable. You're going to take damage no matter what, make sure your healers are capable enough to group heal you during these to keep you from dying, especially in phase 5.
Geocrush(Jump): This is another unavoidable AOE. You're going to want to group together as close to the edge (within) the red circle as possible. Do not step into or outside the red circle or you will fall off the edge unable to be rez'd. Stay together to get group heals.
Landslide: A rectangular AOE. This move is very easily dodged and you should always do it or you'll risk the chance of getting thrown off of the edge. In phase 5 when the bombs drop make sure you move to the center bombs, then left or right to avoid landslide. The first set of bombs (still in phase 5) will always explode in sync with Landslide. In phase 3 right after the bombs explode he will move into landslide, so always be ready.
Gaol: He will use this attack from Phase 3 and on. This traps a party member in a rock coffin. If he does geocrush or Earthen Fury then it will auto-kill that player, break these out as soon as possible. In phase 4 he will trap two people, save the 1st and ignore the 2nd until the heart is downed.
Weight of the Land: This move is a circular AOE on the ground. I cannot stress enough to be ready for these when they pop up. Healers should heal during the attack before these pop up and DPS should be mobile right as the last attack ends to quickly evade these. Getting hit by one won't take you out, but as the battle progresses the number of these increase. During phase 5 I highly suggest that the DPS stay out of the middle of the battlefield as to not let these cluster and down the healers. Healers I suggest you move into heal during the attack before and quickly disperse outwards as it ends.
Mountain Buster: Do not for any reason move in front of Titan during this move in his rotation. It is highly dangerous and will probably insta-kill you. Avoid this move at all costs.
Earthen Fury: Will only happen after Phase 4(Heart phase) Will either wipe you party or do a high amount of damage depending on whether or not you downed the heart. Group together so you can be sure to heal.
Bombs: These only happen in phases 3 and 5. In phase 3 there are two patterns. The first will be a circular pattern. You should locate the first bomb that landed and the last bomb that landed. Group near the first bomb that landed then move to where the first bomb was after it explodes.
The second pattern is an in-then-out pattern. Just sit between the bombs at the edges of the map and you should be fine.
In phase three there are three patterns. Two are identical but faster to the ones I just mentioned. The third and final happens first. It is three clusters of three bombs. Sit in the middle of the last cluster that landed and dodge landslide/move towards the first bombs after the explode. Landslide and bombs will explode simultaneously in phase 5.
So here's what needs to happen:
Phase 1: Either full dps until the end of phase 2 or build half bar of LB then full DPS. Dodge Landslide as needed
Phase 2: Full dps, make sure to dodge Landslide and Weight of the Land as needed.
Phase 3: Save large cooldowns/damage buffs for the next phase. Do what dps you can while dodging landslide, weight of the land, and bombs.
Phase 4: If you can't make it past this phase within a few tries, you may want to get better gear or regroup with people with better gear as to do enough dps to down the heart. You'll want to wait for the first gaol, free the person from it, then use all of the dps you can to down the heart as quickly as possible. Titan will gaol a 2nd person but wait until the heart is downed to free them. Dodge landslide and weight of the land as needed.
Phase 5: Do not try to nuke the boss in this phase. Focus on staying alive and dodging and do what DPS you can along the way. He will gaol a person here and there, free them as quickly as possible, but mind your surroundings and remember the rotations. There will be a large amount of weight of the land so be careful not to cluster together. Follow all the move tips and this fight is yours.
