Alexander
Alexander is the Final Boss of the Treasures of Aht Urhgan expansion in Final Fantasy XI. He is fought in the second half of the mission battlefield Nashmeira's Plea. The avatar Alexander possesses the new Iron Colossus that was constructed to house it and attempts to reenact Ragnarok.
Only after defeating Raubahn and Razfahd in the first half of the battlefield will players face off against Alexander.
Alexander is completely stationary in this battlefield, and is capable of drawing in players if they are too far away from it. If players are within range of its special abilities but not its normal melee attacks, it will instead use Radiant Sacrament to attack enemies. Because it naturally has auto regain, it will always have TP to do so. Alexander also occasionally uses Gospel of the Lost to cure itself for ~1,100 HP.
All of Alexander's special abilities deal light elemental damage, and the most punishing one is it's signature Divine Judgment, which it will only use once at around a little less than 50% HP, and then again at very low HP. Alexander is also capable of giving itself immunity to specific damage types using Perfect Defense when it is below 10% health.
Special Abilities
- Draw In: Draws players in.
- Divine Spear: Conal light magic damage, attack down.
- Gospel of the Lost: Recovers HP, removes negative statuses.
- Radiant Sacrament: Targeted AoE light magic damage, magic defense down.

(used once below 50% HP and may repeatedly use it below 5% HP)

- Perfect Defense: Immunity to physical, magical and/or ranged attacks.
Music
The music that plays during the second half of the "Nashmeira's Plea" battlefield is called "Ragnarok". It was first released as a bonus track in Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess Original Soundtrack. This track also plays during the battlefield for the "Waking the Colossus" and "Divine Interference" and is used during a Wings of the Goddess nation quest cutscene.
