And the way to do that is by forcing us to mix his creations into the Phoenix, killing us and getting revived by it as proof of concept. That's why when we revive after Ego death he says "Yes...Hehehe...At last!"

    The lyrics are very much about losing one's self, one's perception of reality. Basically as the enrage puts it, pure ego death. The windmills are very much Don Quixote, who fought them thinking they were giants. At this point of the fight, Hephaistos has lost his vessel, and in order to get Athena back, he pushes himself to the brink. A complete loss of identity reflected in the lyric : "To the man behind, prithee pay him no mind." There's no use trying to reason with him, because he's long gone, reflected in another lyric "Roughshod riding, overdrive". He only has one goal, to make the Phoenix, and get Athena back. And you're the windmill that's gonna make the grist that makes that Phoenix.

    I love it! There's also stuff about his megalomania, like him comsidering himself to be a paradigm shift, and a reference to "The gods mill slowly but finely" as if he's delivering his own divine retribution to you, probably related to the payback he mentions in the other stanza. Even adding "marking time" as if he's holding himself back to experiment on you instead of unleashing his instant kill with Ego Death. By the Twelve, the lyrics are some of the most telling out of any FF14 song.

    "the man behind" could well also refer to Athena - she had mentioned that she'd willingly done that final soul merge with him to help plant the seed in his mind of wanting to see through what she started, and Hephaistos is completed focused on her and getting her back. on some level he knows this is something he considered madness (tilting windmills, rotten grist) and yet...here he is anyway, consuming something he knows isn't going to do him any good.

    "Roughshod riding, overdrive, tilting windmills wicked, wandering blind" The story of Don Qixote is about a man who does absurd things, most infamously charging windmills on horseback because he's convinced they're monsters, to win the affection of a woman he barely knows. This part of the song is very likely a reference to that, meaning Hephaistos's own boss theme is calling him a delusional simp.

    To be fair, the Don Quixote is the story of a Senile old man who believes himself in a medieval fantasy world, he rides a Donkey believing it to be a mighty horse and he fights for a random woman who he believes is a fair princess, also the windmills are Dragons in his head. The man wasnt a Simp, he had an actual mental disease out of old age and... reading a lot of Medieval Fantasy Books.

    I've listened to this hundreds of times, and there are two elements that I absolutely love and that I just want to take the time to highlight. First, the twin guitars in the opening, playing slightly different notes in slightly different rhythms on separate stereo channels, fuzzy and heavily distorted. Second, the full on drum attack that comes in at 0:50, manic, frenetic, almost random at times, but still building up to a tumultuous storm of percussion. These elements contribute to a track that becomes a chaotic, violent, energised battle, and by god do I love it so much.

    "Silence warning us to violence / Violence swearing us to silence" is such a strong sentence. Silent violence is everywhere: it's the kind of violence no ones talks about, the one naturalized. Losing everything to a world that cares little about you is silent violence. Suffering abandon is silent violence. Being unable to express the pain inflicted upon oneself is silent violence. It's usually the cause of itself: often because you don't have someone to talk to or rely upon, secrets most suffered alone. Violence, swearing us to silence. That silence denounces violence. Sadly it's often also ignored to a point of no return. To my understanding, this song is about many things but, mainly, about Athena (which makes sense of having the lyrics revealed only after the raid is fully released): Roughshod riding over everyone, she not once cared about the integrity - emotional, physical and mental - of anyone around her towards a goal too abstract to grasp fully, forcing Hephaistos to not only kill her, but to separate part of his soul she had tainted with her ill selfishness. Her death - and the use of the Heart of Sabik - remained a painful secret ever since, forcing him down a path where only Lahabrea - a man of duty and little else - existed. Until the events of Pandaemonium. Rejoining with the part of his soul tainted by Athena's consciousness, Lahabrea became his own villain, sacrificing anything and anybody on the way towards his goal - the rejoining - much like Athena once did with hers. So it comes to this: A delusional abomination dreams of reuniting with it's lover. Made of nothing but the corrupted part of a soul, left behind by it's true self, it's the product of silent violence - Hephaistos' emotional refuse, torn apart so it could not haunt him from his duty. "Roughshod riding, overdrive tilting windmills wicked, wandering blind" Feeling trampled, betrayed, without any choice, "Milling slowly, grinding fine all the rotten grist upon which I dine" one is forced to go against his beliefs, violate their feelings for duty and sacrifice everything - only to receive nothing of it but the need for secrecy, "Black mark payback, marking time with a stone of white do we mark up the night" for a stone so meaningless but of cost so high to take so much, "Shadows shifting, paradigm to the man behind prithee pay no mind" leaving nothing behind but a husk of a man who was once full of dreams and life, but no longer. And with that I come to the conclusion that the Ancient Amaurot had no therapists. No wonder Amaurot is an anagram of "Torauma".

    He literally was "infected" with Athena's obsession by her final soul merge with him. She reveals afterward she purposefully tricked him into doing it so he'd forever be implanted with the desire to continue her work. The reason Lahabrea created Hephaistos was to try and sever that part of himself, he is Lahabrea's obsession with Athena given flesh.

    The white stone they refer to is auracite, but past that I don’t really know. I assumed the silence swearing us to violence was about lahabrea hiding the truth, maybe this song is about hephaistos speaking to lahabrea and trying to convince him to follow Athena’s plan, by trying to convince him his life as it is is worthless? The “twisting windmills grinding fine, all the rotted grist upon which I dine” could be a metaphor for that? honestly, Im not very sure on this one.

I think the second one makes more sense, with the windmills metaphor referencing Hephaistos as Don Quixote, famous for attempting to fight windmills on horseback in order to win the affection of a woman he barely knows. That, with the making bread lyric, could be about how Athena was merely using Hephaistos to get what she wanted while he was completely blind to the truth. He, blinded by his love for her, attempted to fight windmills to win her affection, and all he ended up doing was turning the mills of Paendemonium to lead to her ascension as a god.

    I see people talking about hephaistos being delusional with the din Quixote allusion, I feel more like he is the imaginary giant when he is nothing but a figment corrupted by Athena’s desires.

    Honestly hephaistos did so well in every aspect that athena kinda felt lame in comparison. This track is amazing Edit: nothing against the Athena fight, I just think p8s did better, phase 1 was pretty good but phase 2 drags the whole thing down I feel.

    I thought phase 1 for athena was incredible. It's phase 2 where I agree with you. In a vacuum a remix of the final boss from fft is excellent. But our crazy girl boss deserves to go full eldritch abomination with a sick beat like hephaistos did.

    This fight wasn't overtuned even before the week three nerf. It was extremely rare for groups to get to the second phase and struggle with the DPS check before they decreased the HP of each phase. The first phase is the one that was too high on release and benefitted greatly from the change. Truth of the matter is that the OP's group just didn't do great damage on this clear and that's why they saw the enrage go off. I cleared this a ton of times in both statics and PF I don't think I saw enrage go off once after about week three or four.
