I used to watch your guides yeaaars ago. I'm just getting back into the game so happy to see your still making guides. Your an absolute goat. Thank you!

The best dungeon/raid guide to follow! Thank you for all the videos that have helped me, especially with tanking, get through the majority of the dungeons and raids in the game. You are amazing!! Thanks for all you do!!

Oh hey I’m in some of these clips. So uh thanks for being a part of that group.

Tried it blind for the first time and got nuked back to FF7. With this guide i actually understood the mechanics. Also: Code-Writer: How many Mechanics do you want? Game-Designer: Yes.

This was so much more easier to understand than the other guides, Thank you!

"Well, this guy doesn't seem too tough! I think I could handle it pretty easi-" *Absolutely everything about the Beast Phase* Well FUCK.

Thank you for making all these guides! They’ve been a huge help for me since ARR 💜💜💜

Again your videos are easy to follow and understand! Thank you for these videos!

Thank you for the guides and your learning groups!

Loved all your guides! This will help me for harder contents i never done :)

Something real important about flood ray that I've seen a couple of non melees mess up: you want to be inside the inner corner when you're taking your ray, basically in line with your number. If you're in the middle of the column or farther, you're going to cleave the center of platform and kill everyone waiting there.

It's finally here! :D thank you so much!

I've been playing FFXIV for a few years now, but never dared to try a current Extreme. But today, after watching the guide and reading some text strategies, I decided to grit my teeth and give it a try. And it took nearly four hours, but I've cleared it, in part thanks to the clear and concise instructions in this guide. Thanks so much! It's a good feeling to actually manage it, even if I still fumble Auri Arts quite a lot.

Crazy how I'm playing this expac on my PS5 right now but I remember watching your sastasha guide when I was playing on my PS3! That's three console generations of watching your guides!

Not sure if this is the last endgame raid content we are getting this expansion but if it is I really need to thank you for providing all those guides, I was able to clear every extreme/savage this expansion thanks to u, since I’m a solo/pf player I only join pf parties after I’ve watched them

Awesome guide guys ty

First off - Just want to say Thank You for all your videos since 2.0. U just been pure awesomeness 👌 2nd - this EX looks crazy, makes Emeralds look very easy 😁

I liked the fight; simple mechs but a lot of quick thinking to locate safe spots, especially the second phase which is fast paced.

Was wondering when u come with a guide phew haha 😄

Last ShB mount I need before I can get my robo dragon. The other guides have served me well so I'm trusting this one to do the same. =D

Wonderful guide, quick, spoken clear and well, with super important keywords like "light buff" and "provoke during cast" thanks again, your a literal lifesaver

While it's probably common knowledge by now in EX fight, the tankbuster is AOE so ST don't stack on top of MT when you do the provoke shirk shenanigan.

My group with friends went in blind to clear the fight in one instance on the patch day it was quite fun, but as always thanks for the guide 🤗

Thank you for getting me back to raiding. One time I joined your relic fate party. I was too scared to say anything though!

Learning this fight on day one and two of this patch was a heart pumping extravaganza with a bunch of different PF groups. I managed to get 10 clears so I could use the totems for my white and red mage weapons. Hopefully I can either level up more jobs or just help more people through :)

Certain attacks, like Diamond Rain, Limit Cut, and meteors only count the number of players currently alive, but that's only before they start casting. (I.E. If 7 people are currently alive before meteors spawn, only 7 meteors will spawn.)

mr happys guide was easier to understand but this one was okay for repeat viewing since its shorter. thumbs up for both guides C:

Is there a reason we must face the Diamond Shrapnel (The following beam attack) towards the other platform and not outwards? If we faced them outwards won't that give us plenty of time to position and soak the towers?

I must admit the mech of the trial are crazy good.

I was trying to clear this multiple times. People never explained properly on how to do the floodray. Only now that ive come back to it I understand. Position 1,2,3,4 is proc’d. They then switch with the next number on their platform that will go off. It was not just me getting it wrong this whole time, people never explained to me properly!!!

realy helpful! but one question, how did you get the waymarks like that?

@Gogoglovitch

3 жыл бұрын

You can put down waymarks on the far platform after you've cleared the boss, and then save them in the menus at the bottom of the waymark selection interface. Then, next time you go into the fight, you can load that set, and the waymarks will appear where you saved them, even on the half of the arena that's not there yet. You can also save them if someone else puts them down, so you can essentially copy them off of someone who's already cleared -- or someone who copied of someone who already cleared, or someone who copied off of someone who copied off someone who's already cleared, or...

very comfy fight

one way to do it is to go into cloud deck normal, clear it, and place the waymarks BEFORE you exit. then you can save the arrangement into your waymark slots (for those who don't know, that's the drop down arrow menu at the bottom of your waymarks window).

Clear the raid. :/ Other option is to save them from someone else who has cleared the raid and saved the marks.

I have to say I'm disappointed you didn't call the 'zig zag' the zoomies...he clearly turns into a dog and gets the zoomies.

I have never done an extreme raid before except when solo unsynced in Realm Reborn raids and Heavensward raids. I kind of want to try my hand at an extreme raid the way it is meant to be played. I'm just afraid of being with a group of people that will get pissed off at me for missing mechanics when I'm just trying to learn. That's what is stopping me from doing any extreme or savage raids.

Cleared day before yesterday. Earliest I've ever cleared an Ex. And was super happy. :D It also dropped my Job weapon (WHM), and as a person who is forever terrified of trying Savage, it was a nice upgrade vs my current Relic step. But I love watching your guides anyway to understand all the mechanics. This is (at appropriate ilevels) probably the easiest Ex this expansion other than maybe Innocence. Fun fight and well worth the runs. Numbers part is the part most likely to trip people up. Every boss has a whombo combo (like Titania with the giant trees) that, once you can get through, the clear isn't so bad. For Diamond, it's the Numbers and (sorta) the Meteors. If you can master those, you've got it made. Just keep an eye on those hands in the latter phase!

@SubduedRadical

@@Yokai_Yuri Innocence is the easiest to me. Titania still requires a lot of people in the group to do their thing correctly otherwise it can wipe the party, particularly the puddle events and also the giant tree part, both of which can KO most or all of the group. Innocence doesn't actually seem to have a whombo combo at all, the worst is the swords with the death pizza part, but that's not all that difficult. And the only way single players can wipe the party is if they kited their sword lines right through the middle of the boss and the group. I guess there is the thing with the big laser blowing up the wrong star, but that's stupidly easy to aim as long as people aren't being total morons, and IN THEORY a healer with Rescue could jank them into position if needed. Then again, I haven't done either of those since 4.1, so gear may make it where you can eat vine teathers and stuff on Titania with no problems now? Don't get me wrong, I liked Titania better, and it was my first clear and dragon back in 4.0, but that's because it's the same every time other than the Rune while Innocence is a little more variable since it randomly targets people with swords. But other than the star explosions, no part of Innocence will wipe the entire group if one person mucks up while several of the other fights CAN. But I do agree that DiamEx is definitely closer to Tit/Inn levels of difficulty. I'd say it's easier than Titania but harder than Innocence, though not by much. Half the problem is the numbers bit, and half of THAT is just being able to see them. I wish they were numerals instead of dots, and I hate that you don't have a debuff you can look at to see it like Save the Queen in Delubrium. You only have that amount of time to see and count the number and its color, then it's gone, and if you have a marker over your head (as a healer, who was also calling mechs, they liked putting my group number over my head so my sub-party knew who to folloiw), it made it hard to see sometimes. But it's not a hard mechanic to execute once you understand it.

Seems kinda tame compared to the other two.

You didn't mention the final mechanic. The meteor circles. Usual practice seems to be - you go to the position assigned to you by the macro you happen to be using. E.g: Left Platform Group's tank takes the top most meteor on the left platform, The Right Platform' Group's healer takes bottom most on the right platform.
