Alexander: Midas is the second raid tier of the Alexander raid series introduced during the Heavensward expansion of Final Fantasy XIV.
This tier continues the Alexander storyline while increasing encounter complexity and mechanical layering beyond Gordias. Midas is known for more experimental fight structures, heavier movement demands, and more elaborate multi-boss and add-based encounters.
Alexander: Midas contains four encounters, progressing sequentially from A5 to A8.
