Oh for sure. I mentioned to another comment -- this was a first attempt and blind reaching the last floor. If I were to redo the fight I’d have a skill or two swapped out and just wait and counter more intently. Not remembering what’s coming and getting punished for not fighting this guy since a year ago was not on the agenda at this time haha

@@YUXKE I appreciate it when games have a boss rush/boss selection mode like this, or DMC'5s Bloody Palace. You can train against bosses, learn their patterns, or try out defferent experiments. I for example, wouldn't dare to fight Odin with Phoenix, Ramuh and Garuda, that combination gives the fewest advantages against Odin. 😅

You are correct on all accounts. This was a first attempt and blind, and I just wanted to get it done. Performance is definitely barely serviceable haha, no arguments there.

Nice nice. Even leviathan has a CT in Mysidia too. Not too hard compared to a couple other trials. Doesn’t seem to be required for trophy either but then again I already had platinum before the DLCs. That said I never tried the Final CT challenges from the Arete Stone in the hideaway myself. Best of luck to you mate.

@@YUXKE I actually finished that one during Rising Tide, it was honestly quite simple considering almost all Leviathans abilities are AOE based other than Deluge, it's for the Circle of Malius for the collection or curiosities they call them

@@YUXKE Thought I would give an update, I just completed all Chronolith Trials and got the few trophies for the Eikonic abilities like Never Coming Down, last one is Packing Heat to successfully use Heatwave Counter

@@user-wt7rm1ze3i congratulations! Yeah heatwave counter is super easy to get off so you’ll finish up in no time.

@@YUXKE Just got the Platinum, figured since I was at the end of the game I might as well finish it by defeating Ultima

New Ultima abilities are quite insane!

?

Are you referring to player nameplates? There are in game settings to change how you want player names to display in and out of party, in and out of combat as well as in and out of duty. Unless I misunderstood and you’re referring to something else??

I’ve felt the exact same way. While not as fitting of a voice, the acting direction is still spot on

I’m happy that it was a mechanical challenge to sink time into. Dps check and Angry Seas phase typically took most players several tries to get down and I feel like we’re all stronger with playing as Ifrit as a result of the encounter. Frustrating yes, but very rewarding to beat.

Oh hey yeah, this match was a blast! Could’ve gone either way :)

I hadn’t had any overheating issues on my end. Mine is the Digital edition of the console

This was a 7/8 static. Probably our 5th full lockout to clear. We went super casual with it though so the lockouts were spread over weeks.

Hi thanks! I play with GamePad on PS5. I’ve only played past entries on GamePad + console as well. You should play whatever is most comfortable for you. There are strong players equally on both control schemes!

No problem. To be honest I didn’t realize the quest couldn’t be replayed, I just uploaded the last bit cuz I felt like it really haha

If only we could’ve gotten a new chocobo racing map inspired by this lol. Too bad there’s no developer assigned to update that content since heavensward. Oh well

low key kind of boring and disappointing this is the best they can come up with for a "unreal" version lol

@@martinrose9794 Unreal fights since inception are meant to just be a sync up of an old fight to current max level. They are never changed from the original extreme. Due to an ilvl sync the damage and healing check are kept somewhat tight despite advantages of current day battle system changes. Unreals facilitate 2 needs in the game: a separate and lucrative reward system (faux hollows) leveraging the legacy of content in the game, and better syncing experience of an old fight. As it turns out, unless your a streamer then playing with half your kit and hoping you can grab bodies for syncing are quite a hassle for players not doing something like blue mage spell collections.

Ahh gotcha. Makes sense. So its like maybe going back and doing it closer to true min ilvl again? I guess I was thinking it was supposed to be like a "unreal"/ultimate version of the trial.@@YUXKE

Precisely :)

For act 1 the spells I landed on as required were Flying Sardine, Ultravibration + a Freezing Spell (ie Cold Fog, Ram’s Voice, Northerlies), Loom, and Exuviation. For clearing the explosions I had Both Ends, Surpanakha, Quasar, and Phantom Flurry. I would have 2 or 3 of those saved for both points that mechanic comes up For act 2 needed Diamond back and physical damage spells for the Crystal (Both Ends is really good here as well). Everything else are up to you. I took some of the new spells added this patch just to get a feel for them too but they weren’t required.

Hey thanks! The prog experience for this fight was very tumultuous. Spent the first 4 months about 7 hours a week and many static challenges to get up to 50% of the fight up till timeloop. Had to go on a forced break for several weeks when 6.2 savage came out. Resumed prog with multiple concurrent groups, putting in around 12-14 hours a week for another month and half to finally clear in early December. So overall a little over 7 months, 5 and a half if omitting the forced break. Not as long as my UCoB prog when that fight came out but certainly longer than TEA when that one released.

Well well indeed! Took us a few sessions to get this one down but we finally got it. One of our buddies still needs their BLU clear though so we’ll be doing this one again one more time in a couple weeks

Luckily, thanks to the synthesis system you can make some pretty busted stat builds on your equipment to make things a lot easier in terms of damage output. The whole process though gets really expensive.

Well at the end of the day it is just an extreme. Like all the rest, you’ll have a little bit of learning to do, but you get through it and think in retrospect that it was never as arduous as you first thought. It’s like that every single time

It also helps that extreme fights since start of shadowbringers have been brought down to basic clock spreads and stack groups on a new coat of paint for so many mechanics. There’s fewer unique things to digest about new mechanics in recent times for most fights.

i use it instead of switching between 3 sets of sets because it makes it so i only need to swap between 2 sets it helps a ton.

@@pyn_rae Yes I’m aware since their implementation. My double trigger click is set for other bars I use for sprinting, teleporting, changing jobs, and a couple other things. Meanwhile I make use of extended bar setting inputs for my target macros (for my monk: gap closing), potions, limit breaking , duty actions, etc. I make use of extended and double cross bar settings already on top of single tap swapping between my 1st and 2nd cross bar. I don’t use a full 3rd bar during combat, only half crossbars via one of those inputs

I also prefer to just have one crossbar visible at a time (with one static hotbar for CDs) to be minimalist with my bars display.

@@YUXKE ahh i see thats dope

@@Derek147900 that’s pretty funny haha

Ty. Looking back my rotational upkeep was very poor but hey, it was an earlier period in the game after all.

Honestly, it’s just add phase that sometimes makes me feel bad as a controller player haha

@@YUXKE Seriously though is the full rotation doable on controller? I'm trying to master strafing while jumping WHILE doing the full rotation. I thought maybe with controller it might be possible.

As a console player since ARR launch I’ve only known how to play on controller. And I’ve been a monk main for just as long. So I’d say yes. I also like to toggle on/off lock on mode when hitting positionals to smooth the movement as well as for backing up into max melee range. You’ll want to toggle off when moving around for mechanics though. Lastly you definitely want to make party member target macros for the thunderclap skill. It’s very cumbersome to use that on controller without them, especially between the fast GCDs

supermarble94 hi, I won’t be online again until tomorrow evening but I’ll touch back with you soon

@@YUXKE add me on discord, Marbler#0654, so we don't have to talk in game

Cyrus Chan Like with any character, the more you practice and increase your matchup knowledge, the more you’ll climb. GL out there mate

Right?! This was like a year ago tbh haha

+YUXKE lol and you just now posted this piece of gold.

Brad Lyman well I’m 3 years late on this but.....I think you were lost buddy

Lol that's a cool coincidence. Which was your character?
