    In case you didn't notice, the reason Haurchefaunt was able to saved in the rewind was because the previous phases allowed for an Limit Break 3, which a tank then used to perserve Haurchefaunt's HP long enough to destroy Zephirin's Spear. Also, if you chose to kill Thordan and not spare him, the fight essentially loops back to the Nidhogg's eyes phase. However, since Haurchefaunt and Ysayle aren't ghosts, they can't provide the buffs necessary to harm the eyes, making them unkillable and ensuring a wipe. Thus, Dragon-King Thordan becomes a necessary evil.

    A sad part of the section with Nidhogg and Hraesvalgr, if anyone goes down to Hraesvalgr's mechanics, he would have broken his promise to Shiva to never bring harm to a mortal. He will then enter enrage due to grief, and wipe the party.

It needs to be passed to someone to avoid the enrage so as long as they're ressed in time or someone stands on the dead body and gets hit by the explosion to get the debuff he won't enrage.

    Hey! I’m the Dragoon in the video :) I’m surprised with just how intuitively you were analyzing fight based on the visuals alone, especially with how insanely complicated it can look at times. It took over 1800 pulls to clear this beast of a fight, but it was worth every wipe! If you have the time, patience, and a group to attempt this, I’d highly recommend it. This is the best piece of raid content this game has had in years!

As for Ultimates, I recommend UwU (Ultima Weapon Ultimate) as your first. That’s how I got into Ultimates, and is a great stepping stone towards learning the harder ultimates like Bahamut and Dragonsong. It’s a long process and requires learning the games mechanics as well as your job inside and out, but the rewards are worth the price! Good luck!!!

    If Haurchefant lives, we have no reason to rush to Azys Lla, as we were moved by vengeance. No rush, King Thordan feasts on the powers of the Warring Triad sealed there and proceeds to raid Dravania. With all his power, he starts controlling dragons and using Allagan technology - the same restraints used in Bahamut, Tiamat and Twintania - to control Hraesvelgr. Then, Thordan reappears and blast the Steps of Faith by absorbing the eyes of both dragon siblings, killing everyone in them. Probably, Alphinaud, Ysayle, Lucia and Aymeric dies as well. NOW you're moved by vengeance and storm Zenith, were Thordan awaits you for your judgement. Save Haurchefant, a kingdom dies. Save one life, condemn others. He was a knight, proud to the bone. He finished his duty. Do not change the past.

    I always take issue with that first sentiment. Haurchefant living doesn't make us Not a Scion of the Seventh Dawn. We'd STILL be after stopping a possible Primal Threat, Which is one of the Scion's main jobs. Aymeric would still ask us to stop his father, because Haurchefant's death happened AFTER Aymeric was beaten down by his father and told his grand plan. And we would still gone to Azyz Lla, Ysayle still dies as Shiva, we still beat the crap out of Throdan, Estinien would still be consumed by Nidhogg, we still earn Hraesvlagr's trust, We still use his eye to level the playing field. The Only Change is when we beat Estinieddhog this time, Ysayle will still be there, but not Haurchefant. If you need a second ghost, Moen died not too long before hand and as of 3.3, Minfilia is a ghost in the Lifestream, the Eye's power could've woken her up. The only thing Haurchefant's death gave us is a little extra push down a hill we were already rolling. Such is the character assassination the Wandering Minstrel puts us through. But it is nice to dream of going back and seeking a more pleasant end. But if such things were possible, We wouldn't have a broken shield, now would we?

They have no power over the Scions, who have not only staved off Vishnap destroying the Wards, but also went and killed Nidhogg in his own home. Would they be able to stop the Ironworks from personally delivering us? No, why would they bar outsiders from helping outsiders from leaving the city? And why wouldn't they have stopped us after Haurchefant died? House Dzemael itself would bend over backwards to point at House Fortemps and shout to every corner of the world "Look Look they were punished for transgressions," and not a single damn person cared besides us and the Fortemps Manor that Haurchefant died. Because who would open their mouth against the men and women who killed a dragon capable of ruining their entire city and army? And why would the other two High Houses kick up a stink like you said anyways? For House Durendaire, we not only uncovered a secret heretic attack on their people, we won back Stone Vigil (Twice if you do Stone Vigil HM), we fought and beat back the invasion forces come to reclaim both Stone and Steel Vigils before the Steps of Faith, and we beat down Lady Iceheart who had become Shiva. For House Hailenhart, We not only Saved the next head of their High House, we now ALSO have saved that next Head's Best Friend, not to mention all the work we did for the Rose Knights in the Sea of Clouds. For all their Xenophobia, Ishgard returns favors done for them. What's more, if you go by Ishikawa's statement of "The first option is the Canon Choice," It ISN'T Revenge guiding us. Aymeric only recognizes the second option of "I'll have Ser Zepharin's Heart for what he did to Haurchefant!" as wanting vengeance. So if you use the First option answer each time as canon, it wasn't vengeance.

    I don't see that anyone else mentioned this yet - the reason you were seeing Titan now and then is because it's a Summoner job ability at a higher level. Part of the SMN job quest line relates to being able to summon "egi"s of primals after you've defeated them. When you've got Titan summoned you can cast earth-based abilities, Ifrit allows fire-based abilities, and Garuda wind-based abilities. There are a couple other summons too but I'll let you see it for yourself. I'm glad you reacted to this, I hadn't watched the full fight before or looked up the story but this is a really cool exploration of what could be. I also love the alternate timeline stuff.

    Yeah, I believe that last move was the start of the enrage. The last phase of each ultimate raid tends to make its enrage a bit more dramatic than normal with the boss killing each party member one at a time (or in groups of three apparently in this one's case) instead of the whole group at once. You need to choose who sacrifices themselves there for the rest of the group to keep pumping damage out to try and finish it before everyone falls.

    So, the story goes as follows, if you chose to save Haurchefant, you don't have the impetus to chase after Elf Pope as fast as possible, which means he goes about slaughtering and enslaving the dragons, and in his grief and rage, Nidhogg-Stein forces the use of Tiamat's bindings on Hraesvelgar once he takes Ascalon's eye back. The ending you see is that letting Haurchefant die saves more lives, as you don't lose the dragons to God King Thordan. Without Hraesvelgr, things go very differently, same goes with Vidolfnir not being around. The Dragonsong War ends... with the total destruction of the Dragons in Coerthas.

A group that enjoys raiding together is the number one best thing you can have, the rest comes naturally. When expectations are aligned, stress is low, and that makes it much more fun!

    Dope video bro, super cool to see a new(ish) player's perspective on something as intricate as an ultimate. During both Thordan phases there were multiple gaze mechanics where they would have to look away from 2 eyes on the outside of the arena or they'd die, while at the same time be knocked back into a tower soak lol. It was like 4 days into the race til anyone got to Haurchefaunt and found out tank limit break was the only was to save him so you could actually attack the spear. This clear was done way after guides came out so they got everything down super clean, but any sort of deaths are pretty hard to recover from and there are tons of one shot mechanics. Heavy precision fight and by far the hardest content in the game. ONE LAST THING - if anyone dies to Hraesvelgr he freaks out auto enrages kills everyone, because he promised Shiva he'd never take a human life.

    The thing about these Ultimate Fights that the video didn't show is that groups like these that do these kind of fights usually spend weeks if not MONTHS practicing this fight. And to make matters worse, Ultimate Fights do not have checkpoints. You have to do the entire fight all in one go or you go back to Phase 1 again. Zepla's group went the extreme route because they were trying to complete it before they had to go back to work. In her followup video, she explained her thoughts on doing that fight for 8 hours each day during their Christmas vacation. I've only got access to the first Ultimate, The Weapon's Refrain, and I am very hesitant to even think about trying it. The 5th Ultimate is due to come out in a week or two and it will be the first one that is Stormblood-centric, so I can't elaborate any further on this one. As for The Wandering Minstrel himself, he's in Mor Dhona where all those Blue Quests are on your map. Talk to the barkeep, Alys, and that is what will unlock his trials for you. Doing these quests will let you take on much tougher versions of Ultima Weapon, The Second Coil of Bahamut, King Thordan, and Nidhogg. Doing Thordan EX and Nidhogg EX will give you a taste of some of those mechanics they use in the Ultimate Fight.

    "How did they figure those shit?" , It takes a lot of practice, analysation, teamwork and patience. DSR is the most difficult raid that FF14 devs did. Aside the normal (MSQ) raid, if you want to know more mechanics of the game, you go extreme level raid and then savage and then ultimate. Since plugins are no no in FF14, nothing will tell you what to do. You have to check your debuffs, the boss casting, the position where you need to stand and fiddling your HUD (for your comfortability). People in FF14 can help you if you have questions, just ask questions.

    Extremes, savages, and Ultimates are exaggerated retellings of the normal content. The true stories/canon are the normal versions. When we speak to Wandering Minstrel he asks us to tell him the story of what we did and went through so that he may share it with others. He then shares with us his version of what happened and we get to play as ourselves in that retold story via the Extreme/Savage/Ultimate duty. Except with DSR where it starts off as just an exaggeration before going back to the beginning and changing one detail which has the potential for many consequences down the road and thus an alternate story that never happened.

But like High Concept you can also easy Break Down this Mechanic into Spread,Stack and Towers. FF14 did a extreme good Job in Mechanic Designs but when you like you said played this Game for so long and did every Encoukter you find a lot of similarities within Mechanics of Each Fight.

In Ucob Bahamut shots Ankh Mohrns and Kill everyone after another, Uwu let you float and then just die one after another and in TEA you have a Cage Mechanic where people get prisoned and then die one by one.

    Start with UWU - it's a good introduction to the overall feel and pacing of ultimates and is old enough where the update potencies and job changes is enough to skip a few of otherwise difficult mechanics

    Your rotation has to be so practiced that it takes literally no thought at all for you to be able to do stuff like this, because you need all your brain just to remember where to be and what to do at what point, etc. It's crazy.

    Another somber note about the alternate timeline - You observed Haurchefant fighting in the background on the bridge during Double Dragons. Isayle is also there and I believe so is Alphinaud and Estinien. Well.......the birth of Dragon King Thordan murders them all anyway, meaning we have nothing left to really live for. So then we chase Thordan to Sohr Kai to murder him for destroying everything we hold dear. Yep.

    I don't think we know that everyone dies in the alt timeline -- all we see is Alphinaud dragging Estinien away, Haurchefant and Ysayle are behind the camera and I think are still just autoattacking when it happens.

    Who ever Told you it was "End of StormBlood" stuff was an idiot. The NPC in question has been permanently in the game since the "Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima Refrain." Which is A Realm Reborn Content, and semi-permenantly as the NPC involved in the yearly Rising Holiday Event before that trial was added. The Minstrel at that time composed a song of battling the Ultima Weapon, except exaggerated to entertain the audience More. Infact, he's also responsible for Heavensward's Nidhogg Extreme Fight as well. So the "how" of is is "The Minstrel is retelling the story, But even bigger and more grand! AND WHAT IF WE DID THIS OTHER COOL THING IN THERE TOO!" kinda serial escalation thing.

    I can't help but get a small chuckle every time you say "there's so much to remember" because I get what you say. But in my experience, ultimates is less about remembering, and more about 'just doing it' and only think about what's happening right now, and not what's gonna happen 10 minutes into the fight. You have the beat the mechanic you're at now, and nothing else. and then repeat that. Progging an ultimate takes a long long time, because you want your brain to almost automate the process. Hope to be able to help ya out when you dare set foot in an ultimate too someday

    It's just repetition. Between visual cues and the stress of knowing that a single mistake can reset all of your progress over the course of 100+ hours, you tend to eventually learn everything. I'd like to know where you heard that all Ult players cheat because that just isn't true

    That's very untrue. It all comes down to pattern recognition, repetition, and determination. I was the dancer in the video--we spent months learning each phase mechanic-by-mechanic and memorizing how it all worked. I have my own pov of this and other ultimates on my channel proving that no cheats were used.

Do not blame me, blame the add-on creators and developers of FFXIV for not policing their own tos more strictly. As you might not use add-on on your stream, but you could have gotten an advantage from add-ons and then turn them off to prove you've done it. Or someone else in your party is using it to guide you. This is why I want add-ons to be eradicated from the game if that means installing a software in my game scans for these things, so be it. Add-ons ruins everything it touches

    @@manachargeto be honest, addon usage is so rampant, that that is really the only approach to take. All we can do is continue our anti addon stance and know that our achievements are our own. Our streams throughout the entirety of our prog well evidence the lack of addons to anyone that cares to look. I will defend myself accused of it because yes, I aggressively hate and decry addon use, but their comment was more general (and tbh none of us would have seen it normally, this isn’t my video lol)
