I'm sorry to say that at 8:44 I mess up the sentence. I'm supposed to say "instantly kills anyone not at full health". It was a long guide and through more than 1,350 edits, I missed the fact that I didn't say this line correctly. I'll do better next time ❤
Given the sheer _volume_ of information you’ve put out in your guides in the two years you’ve been putting them out, the fact that this is your first real mistake is impressive in that it shows just how thorough you are when it comes to the quality of your work E: good lord. I can’t even make a YT comment without having to go back and fix something I realised I’d goofed only after I hit ‘post’ 🤣 I think you’re fine lol
Did this alliance raid for the first time last night with some FC folks and what turned out to be a very good group who got a lot of the mechanics right. Such chaos and madness, but damn, that was fun! This is a dense raid that seems to throw the kitchen sink at you, so I understand why this guide needs to be 20 minutes. Great job again, Scrub!
Game Designer #1: Wait how many mechanics are we putting in this new raid? Game Designer #2: All the mechanics. Game Designer #1: Wait what? Game Designer #2: Did I stutter?
Did this one yesterday and I am laughing at the fact that all other videos around this are less than 7 minutes and this one is a full 20 😂 but by the gods is it for a good reason
I'm worried that it's a bad thing that it's so much longer than other guides. But I know that I'm just trying to explain the entire raid as best I can so people can get through it one mechanic at a time.
@@the_scrub I think there's no way to make it shorter without referencing the similar mechanics in previous guides, since there's just so much random stuff going on at all times, and the raid itself is pretty long even if you don't wipe.
Yeah cause the problem I face is that if this is the very first guide of mine that someone is watching and I reference a different mechanic from a previous fight, they might not remember it or they may not have done it if it was optional. I don't want people to have to watch 3-4 different guides of mine just to get through this one when I can just explain it again. It's best to just explain the mechanic as it happens so people are not confused. If people are irritated by the length, that's fine. They don't have to watch it. I know there are shorter guides out there that don't offer advice for important mechanics.
@@the_scrub Yep, it can't be helped. You can't explain the mechanics any faster when it's a raid with 20 minutes of relatively unique mechanics. We can just be thankful it didn't include any math.
Just did this one and I gotta say, while it was a lot of mechanics to remember it was AWESOME nonetheless. Thank you for the guide because lord knows I would have died 10 times without it rather than the 2 i actually got.
It's been a long road, but we finally made it: Orbonne monastery, the bane of all short guide makers- 0:55 you get Lingering Gratitude from all of us for condensing this behemoth of a raid into about as digestible a unit as it could be!
This is still one of my favourite raids (second only to the last two ShB ARs). Still couldn’t tell you the plot of the story though lol 1:11 “The Scrub hurt itself in its confusion! It’s super effective!” (Yes, I can see you’re not actually damaging yourself, but that animation is funny) 1:23 Oh Mustard Man. I enjoy your fight now, but it took us a while, didn’t it? lol 2:37 fyi for any who are lost in the mosh pit of players and can’t see the opening: your debuff icon shows you what direction it is 4:33 DOOM (my brain comes with its own soundboard lol) 6:20 _This sodding mechanic_ reee Literally did not know how this bloody thing worked until you explained it, and I ran this raid when it was still current! Well, at least now I can do more than just run around uselessly lol 7:26 prettiest teleport pad in the game. Legit want it as a rug 7:53 no pressure, but I’m 100% learning pronunciation of names/mechanics from you 😁 8:15 This guy’s lines have no right being as badass as they are lol. Also, obligatory “he was better before they nerfed him!!1!” 😂 (I genuinely enjoyed the original version, but I don’t miss being buried alive under the collective salt of players with no patience for others) 10:34 A note about tracking AOEs: they don’t follow your _path,_ they follow _you._ Imagine there is a straight line from their point of origin to you-that is the path they’ll take 12:41 I have actually seen DPS queue to take this. It delights me every time 13:14 I honestly can’t say I’ve seen this phase since before EW, and you just made me realise that lol 14:03 It’s been how many years and I’ve never known this was a thing??? Players apparently managed to get hit by every aoe but this bloody one 😂 14:45-16:32 My favourite thing about her fight is how she does callbacks to mechanics in the previous two raids. More of that, pls YoshiP 16:35 “incredibly chaotic” he says. Y’all, he ain’t kidding letthebodieshitthefloor.mp3 17:55 Not me screaming “be a sheep and live!!” As I still manage to take multiple beams to the face (but for real, that’s a helpful way to try and solve this) 19:02 DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO 19:22 Me, an off tank main: “I’m helping!” 😂 19:49 Note the wind particle effects. Those AOEs _will_ move Great guide, Scrub! Really helped clarify some things I’d been getting wrong, and taught me at least one mechanic I didn’t know lol. Absolutely worth the length 😁 E: markup/punctuation shenanigans
I have yet to try my hand at this. And... yes, it is pretty intimidating. But your guides helped me get this far, and thus i believe that i, in spite of being a newbie tank, will succeed. Thank you preemptively! EDIT of 12/01/2025: I DID IT! Thank you so much!
I just did this for thr first time last week, got thru to the final boss perfectly, ended up dying and wasnt even thinking and hit the return to start button so about 75% of thr fight i was just sitting at the arena entrance lmao
I wish this came a few days earlier, I went into this raid blind as a healer and let's just say that it didn't go well... But on my second try I did much better

Such a fun AR.... when there aren't too many new players.
Such a fun AR when it's full of new players and you are healing
