Eternal Darkness

Eternal Darkness (暗黒の運命, Ankoku no Unmei?, lit. Dark Fate) is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is an ability used exclusively by Ark, dealing massive Dark-elemental damage to all enemies.

Appearances[]

Final Fantasy IX[]

Eternal Darkness is the summon ability of Ark when called forth by Dagger. It deals massive Shadow-elemental damage to all enemies with a power equal to 106 + the number of Lapis Lazuli the player has in their inventory. It costs 80 MP to use, but if used before Dagger were to lose her eidolons (not possible in a normal playthrough), it would cost 320 MP to use.

Eternal Darkness can be made to deal 50% more damage by equipping Dagger with Mage's Hat, Light or Black Robe, Ancient Aroma, or Gold Choker. Equipping multiple of these items at once does not stack.

Final Fantasy XIV[]

Eternal Darkness is an ability used by Cruise Chaser, the boss of the raid Alexander - The Heart of The Creator. The ability does large raid-wide damage. Cruise Chaser will also cast Eternal Darkness as its enrage, wiping the entire party if they do not kill it in time.
