@@DuraLexSedLex I dont know much about BLM, but let me say that the idea that RDM is mobile is pretty laughable especially in EW so far. Outside of dungeons (and even in certain fights in dungeons) basically every single fight has a hard edge to the fight that you either fall of or get instantly killed if you go outside of, and often the arena is so small that any attempt at using Displacement has a 50/50 chance of getting you killed. The mobility is fun, but often times I find myself using engagement because I've yeeted myself too many times for me to bother using Displacement unless I know 100% for sure it wont get me killed.
@@BiggDaddyBubbles absolutely 0 reason to use displacement now that it does the same damage as engagement also rdm is wayy more mobile now because of acceleration being a swiftcast
@@BiggDaddyBubbles RDM was introduced as mobile in StB. Back then BLM could barely move and SMN had issues. Now, BLM is probably more mobile than RDM. Also there's basically no reason to use displacement outside of weird niche stuff. RDM's issue is having to still do casts every other spell and needing to position for melee to be ready with your burst, compared to BLM being able to temporarily run like hell while casting if needed, and SMN being a magical pdps.
Poor Quetzalcoatl being relegated to just a bird. Thanks for the guide, and I appreciate putting a spoiler for those still making it through the story.
Please make a guide for the normal version of Zodiark, I still see a lot of wipes and wanted to master all the mechanics. You are the only dungeon/trial guide who provides that level of understanding
Being Greek and playing through ShB and EW, with all these Greek words added for literally most of the things in the game, is the best time of my gaming life. TY ff14 devs for that.I hope u utilize more languages the way u did Greek and Indian in EW and ShB
In my experience, the first set of exoterikos is double triangle if it starts on the west or triangle + square if the east. More runs may be needed to verify though.
The spastic camera movement trying to figure out where all the safe spots are really make me feel like it's just a little too much for the first EX of an expansion.
It's really not that bad once you get familiar with it. I got into the habit of creating a hierarchy for problem solving. First you figure out the safezone for the triangle AoE, then the snakes, then bird/behemoth, and then finally the firewall. The snakes always appear with a safe zone between each other, so whenever they spawn, you could look at the arena and divide it into four numbered sections, starting at whichever end you feel like. So suppose that the snakes spawned at the 1st and 3rd sections (1 being on the left corner and 3 closer to the right) on the north side and the stage is rotating clockwise (to the right), meaning that the snakes will end up on the east side of the map, facing the west. Once the stage rotates, snake 1 will end up on the very top right corner of the arena, while snake 3 will be one section away from the bottom right corner. One thing that also helped me was drawing a square, dividing it into the four sections, marking two sections as the spawn points (with a blank section in between because that's how the snakes spawn), and then just rotating the drawing 90 degrees to the left/right to see how it looks without the pressure of having to do it live in-game. It helped me out a lot.
So in my observation we need to go to that arrow direction becouse we will be thrown to the opposite direction to where we stand...arrow to the left we will teleport to right, if its pointing right we will go left from where we stand. This fight messes my brain but only the rotation part.
I thought that too, but my friend and I got our first clears of a current extreme yesterday, just look for practicing parties in party finder and give it a go!
I think Casters are not ideal for this fight....tried it with summoner, i can barely cast a spell let alone hard casters, its going to be hell for them
Being the greek guy in a static in this fight you can mess up shotcalls of mechanics by prouncing the greek way the words 🤣 Personal highlight, during prog when I died to adikia mech I was shouting "adikia!" ( means unfair ) and laughing with myself, the others where like (???) 🤣
I just did this the first time, we got someone who knew it (shoutout to Sintrophia Amariyo on Odin) so we just followed them around, beat it the first time *and* I got the mount. So I guess this is a trial I only have to do once?
If you look at her twitter, she's just been busy :) She has a baby now and it's the holiday season so she's been more focused on that. It's her daughter's first Christmas and she turns one soon iirc so I'm sure she's been planning for that as well.
I was actually surprised getting a notif for this on my phone cuz it seemed before like she wouldn't be uploading anything until at least after Christmas lol
She doesn't put those kind of party finder strats into her videos. The whole point of these is to learn the mechanics, not just blindly follow another player.
The idea of the guides is everyone becomes the person you can follow. Sure, following is a tried and true tactic, but sometimes you want to be able to have people follow you.

This fight has an interesting alternative name if you look in the game files. I think it’s called “torturing the black mage”
BLM is actually now fairly mobile by 90. tbh, theyre more mobile than RDM now.
Just gotta learn where to put ley lines

4 birds, two snakes, fire, and a partridge in a pear tree 🎄🎄🎄
this comment just had me laughing SO hard lol
The ending had me dying
"The chances of surviving that enrage are about as good as my pronunciation of that word"
I think it may have actually been pretty spot on! I know I couldn't do any better!
It's a Greek word, and as a Greek i find it amusing to hear people try to pronounce these words :)
It's even better because she mispronounced "pronunciation".

Thank you mtq for not spoiling these fights for people who haven't gotten to far in the story.
Yay!!!!!! I was trying this yesterday and the day before and without your guides I’m hopeless. You’re my fave. Thank you!!!!
man even with a guide this stuff looks stressful
Adikia actually hits the W and E sides in the middle, creating another safezone all the way at the back
I've been so lost without miztech!!! Thank the twelve the guides are back!!!
This fight can be quite easy if someone who knows where to go is marked with a danger dorito and everyone just follows them around
thats how I cleared my first time. now im watching this guide to see what and how I did...
I've been having this on farm following danger doritos. Now I can properly learn it and pause and see so I can be the danger dorito.
8:25 Aponeumanamamnata lol
Love the added jokes! Always a fan...Daniel!! Best guides I have faithfully watched for years! Thank you for all your hard work and help!
The MVP of the Raid Guides returns, plus kudos for the spoiler thumbnail and name.
Really glad folks are interested in becoming the dorrito rather than blindly following the dorrito
I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I heard you say Apomnemoneumata X'D
Never change please, and thank you for the guide
I can't believe i understood all of that. Visually it is horrifying. Yet... i understood it all.
I love your raid guides. They're so well done.
-How many paradeigmas do you want in ex1?
-Yes
Happy to see your guides MTQ
Yay my favorite raid guide is back!
the go to for guide always, thank you.
Yay! I was waiting to venture in to extremes so this gives me the perfect opportunity!

I'm just here for 8:24 😂😂😂😂
Awesome guide as usual
you're an angel of not spoiling in the titles
Subscribing because there are no spoilers in the title/thumbnail
native greek here: appo-mneemo-nÉvma-ta it means "memoirs''
I definitely did a O_O face at a few points. I screw up prime numbers in Ridorana from time to time. This is a bit more mental calculation xD
Welcome back
Thank you 🙏 4 the guide 🥂
I mean I'd never thought I'd say this but yes, I will take some of those keycaps.
Mario party 4 book Minigame prepared me for the astral fall phase of zodiark
I thought it was ROLLing and not ROILing. Thank the Phoinix I discovered this correction, thanks Mizz
appo-neemo-numata was actually probably the least brain melting part of this
Im sure a lot of people have already typed this, but thank you for the title.:)
Glad to see you back!

my head is spinning i couldn't even figure out the spinning mechanic or the stars parts in NORMAL mode
Beatiful ms paint book
Still gotta get the mounts from some of the ShB trials before I attempt this but I'm not looking forward to it 😅
When I said I couldn’t wait to see the ex of this trial I was being facetious! ;3;
Ouch, your puns are awful Mizz... Love them! :-P I need to catch more of your streams.
Jesus Christ, they really are fucking us up with the mechanics this expansion lol
Merry christmas Mizzteq!!!
I think it's "Uhpom-neh-mon-new-mah-ta"
Merry Christmas to you and your family Mizz!
its apo-mni-mo-nevma-ta means memoirs xD ( απομνημονεύματα ) ty for the guide
The devs 100% played no rules scrabble for the naming of these abilities
thanks for the upload 🖖
Love your raid guides
Damn. I can't remember all this.
Immediate sponsor...finding another video.
So in my observation we need to go to that arrow direction becouse we will be thrown to the opposite direction to where we stand...arrow to the left we will teleport to right, if its pointing right we will go left from where we stand. This fight messes my brain but only the rotation part.
Anyone else think her pronunciation of the enrage spell was oddly cute af? Lol
Ahhh finally!!!
Good lord this is alot harder than crystal mum.
Good god. Shout out to everybody that does these before you can get echoed and overgeared cause it will never be me! 😂
I thought that too, but my friend and I got our first clears of a current extreme yesterday, just look for practicing parties in party finder and give it a go!
The beauty of this fight is that there are no personal responsibilities. All you need is to follow a safety dorito and you’ll be fine.
Thanks!
Chaos
THANK YOU!!!!
This boss on normal rivaled SoS imo. But the ex version puts it to shame 🤣
raid designer be like: " SO we heard you guys like AOEs.... so we gave AOEs AOE!
I'll wait three years to unsync this. My head exploded just a bit.
millenium actress!
Am gona die ALOT ….like ALOOOOOOT!
I think Casters are not ideal for this fight....tried it with summoner, i can barely cast a spell let alone hard casters, its going to be hell for them
Git this guide from a friend to prepared for my first ever EX fight... How on Aetheris do you remember all that? O.o

I can't find normal version
Wow this is way to much to even remember half of what was said.
Just gotta go practice/perfect trial/error .
Or wait until lvl 100 😆!
Dead and I haven't even ran it in yet 😅

No normal guide??? Is there a difference?
lol they could of add more mechanics on top of the 10 mechanics happening at once. Jeeeszz
Don't hurt yourselves trying to say the enrage name. Lol.
Apomnemoneutama
It’s even hard to type it
I've gotta ask, what the fuck is with the picture in the top left at 2:38? Like, is it relevant somehow? What is it of? WHAT ARE YOUR SECRETS
tried this fight today and i think im just not good enough to do extremes and savages anymore
redacted?
whats redacted mean
ill never learn the rotations. oh well....
Wondered if you'd quit, it took so long to see anything. I had to get my guides elsewhere!
If you look at her twitter, she's just been busy :) She has a baby now and it's the holiday season so she's been more focused on that. It's her daughter's first Christmas and she turns one soon iirc so I'm sure she's been planning for that as well.

I usually watch all your ex-guides but I wish you would do like some sort of slow-motion visual aid or something idk
No guide needed. We just threw a dorito on the tank and won.
I don’t think was mentioned, but for every single mech in this fight you can just mark 1 person who knows where the safe spot is and follow them.
She doesn't put those kind of party finder strats into her videos. The whole point of these is to learn the mechanics, not just blindly follow another player.
i have been in a few that had that, the people get murdered consistently with the comets. I found it harder to follow someone than just do it myself.
The idea of the guides is everyone becomes the person you can follow.
Sure, following is a tried and true tactic, but sometimes you want to be able to have people follow you.
Toooo many effects and lights how can anyone see anything???
You get used to it or turn them down, which you can do for basically every aspect of combat nowadays.
