Ramuh is a primal that’s usually brought forth by the sylphs. Your first battle with Ramuh is during the level 50 trial “The Striking Tree (Hard)”, which occurs after the events of A Realm Reborn.
“The Striking Tree (Extreme)” is a more difficult version of your fight with Ramuh. This is available later on through a quest called “Judgment Bolts and Lightning”.
This quest is obtained from Scarlet in New Gridania (X:9.9, Y:11.4). It becomes available after completing the level 50 Main Scenario Quest “Brave New Companions”.

Detailed Unlock Guide Walkthrough
Order of the Twin Adder HQ
Once you’ve completed the Main Scenario Quest “Brave New Companions”, look for Scarlet in New Gridania. She can be found just outside the Twin Adder headquarters at (X:9.9, Y:11.4).
The lieutenant will inform you that there is word of Ramuh being summoned once again.
She will then send you to Little Solace to speak with Frixio, the sylph elder.
The quickest way to Little Solace would be to teleport to the Hawthorne Hut aetheryte and travel East. When you get there, speak with Frixio’s attendant Dellexia, who can be found at (X:21.3, Y:26.8).
Dellexia in Little Solace
Frixio explains that Ramuh does in fact walk the Twelveswood once more thanks to another faction of sylphs.
And though he might not be as aggressive as the other primals, his mere presence poses a threat to the area’s aether.
Sylphlands Aetheryte
The next step in the quest is to re-attune to the aetheryte in the Sylphlands, East Shroud (X:25.4, Y:17.0).
After this is done, you will be able to confront the Lord of Levin once more in The Striking Tree (Extreme).
