| name = The Sunken Temple of Qarn
| description = Under the unforgiving Thanalan sun lie and ruins of an ancient temple half-devoured by the shifting sands of timeless desert. Though used by ancient Belah'dians as a place to worship the sun goddess, Azeyma, the massive underground structure appears to be far older than his Sixth Astral Era civilization. That, however, did not deter Belah'dian sultans from each adding their own chambers to the original construct to a bid to achieve immortality through creation. In the subsequent years since the fall of Belah'dia, many an adventurer has sought to explore the temple's mysteries and perhaps return with the treasure of a lost era... Only to fall victim to one of the complex traps set to prevent that very thing from happening.

==Changes from the [[ffxiv:The Sunken Temple of Qarn|Original Version]]==
*All puzzle mechanics have been removed from the dungeon, including the scales puzzle, flame plates, and stone head mechanics that were present in the original version
*The Doom debuff and floor pad mechanics from the first boss (Teratotaur) have been moved to the final boss (Adjudicator), consolidating the dungeon's unique mechanics into a single encounter

==Objectives==
#Clear the Oratory of Tatamefu II: 0/1
#Clear the Rosarium of Lalafuto I: 0/1
#Clear the Adytum of Lalafuto IV: 0/1
#Defeat the [[adjudicator]]: 0/1

==Walkthrough==
Optimal pathing for the dungeon is as follows (this skips optional side rooms and requires only opening the minimum number of doors needed to progress to the end): 
#At the start, hug the right wall to prevent aggroing the first group of enemies.
#Continue onward, defeating enemies in the way. Do not need to pick up any objects.
#Defeat '''[[Teratotaur]]'''.
#Continue until reaching the first closing door and defeat the immobile [[Avoirdupois]] to open the door. 
#'''Ignore the two Avoirdupois in the outside area.''' Continue north into the underground area and defeat the enemies or keep pulling.
#Defeat the '''[[Temple Guardian]]'''.
#Continue onwards to the outside area.
#Defeat the Avoirdupois on the glowing tile.
#Go up the stairs and defeat the final Avoirdupois on the glowing tile.

==Bosses==
{{#ev:youtube|IcRbObSGxus|350|right|The Sunken Temple of Qarn Guide (updated for 7.2)}}
===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r5.png|link=]] [[Teratotaur]]===
Teratotaur is the first boss of The Sunken Temple of Qarn. The boss fight has multiple instant death mechanics, involving adds and three square plates positioned around the arena.

*'''Triclip''': Telegraphed tankbuster.
*{{combat message|Dung wespes have joined the fray!}} Two [[Dung Wespe]] adds will spawn. Kill these quickly or they will use '''Final Sting''' on their target and deal massive damage (70% of their maximum HP; two hits will be instant death).
*'''Frightful Roar''': Telegraphed point-blank AoE. Anyone hit will receive a 15-second {{status effect|physical vulnerability up}} Physical Vulnerability Up which can be cleansed with {{action icon|Esuna}}.
*'''Mow''': Telegraphed frontal conal AoE. Anyone hit will receive a 15-second {{status effect|poison}} Poison which can be cleansed with {{action icon|Esuna}}.
*'''Mortal Ray''': {{combat message|You have been afflicted with Doom...}} A room-wide AoE that will inflict everyone with a {{status effect|doom}} [[Doom (status effect)|Doom]] debuff on your entire party; the debuff lasts 12 seconds and will instantly kill anyone still afflicted by it when the timer ends.
**The boss can be stunned (using actions such as {{action icon|Low Blow}} or {{action icon|Leg Sweep}} during the cast to prevent it.
**Players can remove this debuff by stepping on the square plate that is glowing orange; only one of them will turn orange at a time. It may be preferable to tank the Teratotaur in the middle of the room between all three plates so that they are within easy reach of the Tank and Melee DPS, but the duration is long enough that it should not be a problem.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r5.png|link=]] [[Temple Guardian]]===
Temple Guardian is a gigantic rock golem boss. Throughout the fight, Temple Guardian will spawn [[File:Aggressive difficulty r1.png|25px|link=]] '''Golem Soulstone''' onto its chest. While the Soulstone is alive, Temple Guardian takes virtually no damage. When the '''Golem Soulstone''' is destroyed, the golem is {{status effect|stun}} '''[[stun]]ned''' and becomes vulnerable for a period of time before the Soulstone respawns. Players should switch their target to the Soulstone when it spawns. The Guardian will target random players with most of his abilities. To save time, it is recommended to use a DPS (preferably melee) limit break on the Guardian to increase the chances of killing it when it becomes vulnerable the first time, before the Soulstone respawns.

'''Abilities'''

*'''Rockslide''' is a frontal column AoE attack. 
*'''True Grit''' is a frontal cone AoE attack that will inflict a 15-second {{status effect|blind}} Blind which can be cleansed with {{action icon|Esuna}}.
*'''Boulder Clap''' is a frontal AoE attack.
*'''Obliterate''' is an instant attack that deals magical damage to the entire party.
*'''Stone Skull''' is an instant attack that damages one player, knocks them back, and stuns them for 3 seconds.

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] [[Adjudicator]]===
'''Adjudicator''' is the final boss of The Sunken Temple of Qarn. Throughout the fight, it will spawn various Mythril Verges on the ground.

*'''Looming Judgment''': Telegraphed tankbuster.
*'''Summon''': {{combat message|The adjudicator summons arcane instruments!}} Spawns two [[Mythril Verge]]s. Defeat these adds as soon as possible.
**These will aim at at random players with '''Verge Line''', a blue telegraphed line AoE.
**Each time they use their AoE, they will gain a stack of Haste, increasing the rate of their attacks.
**If the adds reach 6 stacks, they will instantly explode with '''Self-Destruct''' for high party-wide damage.
*'''Creeping Darkness''': Party-wide magical damage.
*'''Summon''': {{combat message|The adjudicator summons arcane instruments!}} Now spawns four Mythril Verges, one per corner.
**Each add will chain a player, briefly stunning and drawing them in, inflicting {{status effect|bind}} [[bind]].
**All players will then be targeted with '''Verge Pulse''' by their respective add. If it connects, the player will instantly die. Players must defeat their adds to free themselves and dodge the AoE. Freed players should help defeat other adds to free their allies.
*'''Dark II''': A massive telegraphed conal AoE aimed at a random player. To facilitate dodging, do not be too far away from the boss.
*'''Dark''': A telegraphed circle AoE at one random player's current location.
*'''Summon''': Summons four Mythril verges again, but similar to the first usage of this attack (without players being chained).

==Lore==
===The Temple To The Sun Goddess===
In the south of sunbaked Thanalan, half devoured by the shifting sands, there lie the ruins of an ancient temple.

Formerly used by the Belah'dians as a place to worship the sun goddess, Azeyma, its construction is credited to Tatamefu II, with further expansion taking place over generations under the auspices of sovereigns such as Lalafuto I, Lalafuto III, and Memeto the Meek. Financial woes, however, put a stop to Lalafuto IV's bid to expand underground, and all such  work would be forever ended when a war of succession broke out between two princes and the kingdom was torn in twain.

In the years since the fall of Belah'dia, many souls have sought to plumb the temples mysteries, but the devious traps that riddle its halls have frustrated the efforts of explorers and thieves alike.

===Temple Guardian===
Brought to life with knowledge inherited from the Mhach civilization, these guardians of stone dutifully and tirelessly attend to those who would defile the temple. To be spared their attentions, one must bear the guise of a genuine worshiper, but few such implements have survived the passage of time.

===The Perils Of Nenekko===
Owing to the efforts of sure-footed adventurers, the Sunken Temple of Qarn was made safe, and a partnership between the Order of Nald'thal and Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern sent forth a joint expedition to coax out its secrets.

Alas, by then the rumors of hidden treasure had reached the ears of the rapacious and reckless, whose blundering presence in the ruins awakened yet more arcane traps and left the expedition stranded amidst deadly dangers. A team of adventurers familiar with the temple’s workings was promptly dispatched to rescue the civilians, with an express focus on the young scholar Nenekko, daughter to the chairman of Amajina & Sons.

Had this mission failed, it is said that the Concern’s private army, the Stone Torches, stood ready to mount its own rescue with the entirety of its resources.

===Vicegerent to the Warden===
This ancient sentinel was accidentally roused in the course of excavation. In contrast to the temple guardian’s rough-hewn appearance, Which marks it as a product of early Beah dia, the vicegerent is a thing of precision created in the kingdoms later years. In this way, it is possible to appreciate the advances made in guardian construction techniques through out the ages.

==History==
The following changes were made with [[patch 7.2]]:
*The Avoirdupois enemies are now immobile and always spawn on the glowing tile. Previously, these enemies must be moved by the tank and defeated on the glowing tiles to open doors. If they were not defeated on a glowing tile, they would revive.
*Teratotaur:
**The Triclip tankbuster now has a cast bar and standard red tankbuster indicator instead of being an instant attack.
**The Dung Wespe spawns are now accompanied with a red combat message that was introduced in Dawntrail.
**The Mortal Ray cast is now accompanied with a red combat message warning the player has been inflicted with Doom.
*Adjudicator:
**Boss entirely overhauled.
**Looming Judgment (telegraphed tankbuster) added.
**[[Sun Juror]] adds removed.
**Mythril Verges now get a stacking Haste debuff, increasing the rate of their AoEs.
**Self-selection barriers on Mythril Verges have been removed. These were dark boxes around them that caused players outside the region to do reduced damage to them. Eventually, they would have sealed off and only allowed players inside the square to damage them.
**Bind mechanic with four Mythril Verges added.
**Darkness (a small telegraphed conal AoE) removed and replaced with Dark II (a massive telegraphed frontal conal AoE) and Dark (a telegraphed circle AoE on a random player).
**[[Interrupt]]able paralysis attack removed.
