Cut from the end of Praetorium (thank God) and given his own solo fight at the end of 2.0 MSQ. This is how it should have always been. He even has mechanics and the end is pretty cool. You must play through new game+ in order to do this solo fight. The closest starting point is ARR part 4 at level 36.

much better than the too easy version, now its more challenging for new players
Sorry, how to enter this solo fight against Lahabrea?.. I completed the Port De??? trial, but ends without this fight..
Thank you so much for noting the best starting point. Much appreciated!
Lahabrea straight went from being a joke boss to actually kind of difficult
Hot damn. That transition from the main theme into torn from the heavens. This is actually pretty boss
i'd be down for an extreme of this a trial.
This is kinda annoying a battle that takes a loooong time to end…Poor dps can't finish it in normal difficulty, tank is almost dying…
Everything is so much better now, so i was hoping they would also improve that portion where WoL and friends banished lahabrea. I hoped at the very least for them to remove the mega cheesy yell everyone does. But good lord is it still there. Thanks for the showcase lol
I didn't read the patch notes so when I went through the new versions of Praetorium and the Ultima Weapon fights I was like "that's pretty funny that Hahabread became so much of a joke that they just straight up removed him" without realizing he was changed into a solo fight until watching this video. This fight is actually pretty cool though, it helps make him a little bit more interesting (although he still pales in comparison to other FFXIV villains IMO)
Big DBZ energy in this fight. Has a big death ball attack, a transformation from near death experience with accompanying ssj2 blue power aura, a finishing move calling upon the energy of allies to dragon punch through the big bad…
Now the Lahabrea fight is more fitting for an ascian overlord, it's made clear that at this point your character isn't strong enough to take him on unaided and if it hadn't been for Hydaelyn's intervention you would have been finished.
Can't believe that they accidentally made Ardbert a better fighter than us by having the weakest Ascian kill us.
Now thats an Unsunder ascian fight! I like how they made it so that theres a scripted death. It just shows that at that level you really arent ready to fight an Unsundered Ascian unaided.
