The Level 70 normal-difficulty dungeon Ala Mhigo can be unlocked by accepting the Level 70 MSQ “Stormblood” from Pipin in The Lochs (X:32.6, Y:22.9).
This is the final MSQ of the storyline for patch 4.0 of the Stormblood expansion.
Unlocking Quest: Stormblood
The Level 70 MSQ “Stormblood” wraps up the main story for patch 4.0 of the Stormblood expansion.
To unlock this quest, you’ll need to clear every MSQ leading up to it, including MSQs from the previous expansions.
Once you’ve done that you can speak with Pipin in The Lochs (X:32.6, Y:22.9) to begin.

The Ala Mhigan Resistance forces are ready to drive the Garleans out of the royal castle and put an end to the brutal occupation.
After a brief conversation with Pipin, Ala Mhigo will be unlocked.
This dungeon requires at least a Level 70 Disciple of War or Magic job and an average item level of 280 to enter.
Boss #1: Magitek Scorpion

Mechanics
- Electromagnetic Field: A room-wide AoE attack. Shield and heal through the damage.
- Target Search: Multiple players will be targeted with ground AoEs that follow them for six seconds. Then, the AoE will be locked-in and go off, leaving a fiery puddle that applies a “Burns” DoT for 15 seconds should anyone stand inside it. Bait the AoEs in one area to preserve safe zones.
- Tail Laser: A wide column AoE in front and behind the boss that persists for a few seconds.

Boss #2: Aulus mal Asina

Mechanics
- Mana Burst: A room-wide AoE attack. Mitigate and heal through the damage.
- Order to Charge: The boss will spawn up to five magitek bits in set patterns around the arena.
- Order to Fire: The boss will order the magitek bits to fire circle AoEs on random players before using large donut AoEs that overlap. Avoid the initial circle AoEs before running directly underneath the bits.
- Magitek Disruptor + Mindjack: The entire party will be stunned for 12 seconds. Then, their souls will be pulled out of their bodies and knocked back. To return to normal, players need to make their way back to their bodies.
During this time, A “Prototype Death Claw” will tether to each player and attempt to stun them and magitek bits will fire line AoEs that can stun. Move away from your death claw and avoid the line AoEs while making your way toward your body. If you take too long, you will die. After returning to normal, kill the death claws immediately. - Snapping Spell (Prototype Death Claw): A frontal cone AoE that knocks players back.
- Demimagicks: Random players will be marked with AoEs. Spread out to avoid overlap.

Mechanics

- Concentrativity: A room-wide AoE attack. After using “Storm, Swell, Sword,” the boss will continuously spam this attack until he’s defeated.
- Storm, Swell, Sword: The boss will move to the center and become untargetable. Then, he’ll drop his swords around the arena while he charges his room-wide ultimate AoE attack. Destroy the swords before the “Aether Transfer” gauge reaches 100 or you will wipe.
