thanks for including the whole fight. most of the other guides for this fight cut early like "you wont need to see this part if you have good enough dps". when our group got our first clear it was right as he was casting the enrage.
I really appreciate you following through and finishing the Sil'dihn guides- I'm one of those players that doesn't always do the hardcore content while it's fresh, though starting with Endwalker I've tried to do savage level stuff more on-content and it's been fun but not the easiest for me. I'm aware there's been other guides for Zeless Gah but I definitely think if I'm bringing friends to this (and that's my goal when I do get to doing Another Sil'dihn) having guides from the same creator helps keep things consistent and clear. And I loved the guides for the first two fights because of how clean they were. So again, thank you for doing this even so late in the patch cycle!
Even after 6 months+, your guide is still the best explained so thank you very much for taking the time do make this guide. It helps me and many others who are trying to clear the savage version for achievement or personal challenge.
Hector, I live and die by your guides... I cleared Abyssos using your guides and I genuinely don't think I could've done it without them. (Even watched your P8SP2 guide over and over to get the bulk of info then adjusted to Party finder strats aka Rinon/Scripe/etc) With 6.4 on the way, just wanted to say I can't do it without you. You're guides are explicitly detailed in a manner that makes my brain do a happy dance. I'd love a UWU and/or TEA guide, I've yet to clear an ultimate, but I've been using your UCoB guide thus far, DSR just feels a bit heavy to jump into for a first ult. All in all just wanted to mention how much I appreciate your hard work and I look forward to more :)
One thing my static did to lessen the burden in the second Blessed Beacon was using tank invulnerability to be in front for both lines instead of splitting up among the portal chaos. It made our clears a lot more consistent by cheesing one mechanic. Either Blessed Beacon can be cheese this way, but we've found out cheesing the second worked better for us.
thanks so much for this guide!! funnily enough, our mini static still hasn't cleared it - partly because scheduling is hell, and partly because we also got so burnt out on it :'D progging the first two bosses blind was great, but this one really got us tearing our hair out lolol
Love this guide, even though my group had to work it out mostly on our own using some other fairly poor guides :D Two small optimizations you can do that I have learned through about a dozen or so clears: Infern Brand 1 (Rotating Fireballs) Start on the outer row, basicall in the middle of the "crosshair" the portals make. You're always moving opposite the spin direction. So if the middle fireball is orange, which means rotating RIGHT (Clockwise), you move left. If instead the middle fireball is blue (rotating LEFT) you move right. If there is NO fireball on the side you moved to, you are already in the safe square (the outer one, either left or right) and you split diagonally. If there IS a fireball on the side you just dodged to, just do the same thing again. Rotating RIGHT (orange) - move left. Rotating LEFT (blue) - move right. Alternatively, to make it visually clearer: If there is a fireball of the SAME color, you always do the "wall" strat, meaning one person on the wide wall, one goes up towards middle. If the fireball is the OPPOSITE color, it's always the outer square, so spread diagonally. The end result is the same, but this is how I have learned to visualize it really quickly, and it has helped the groups I have taught as well :D For Infern Brand 4 (The 3 portals, 1 mid 1 east 1 west) where you have to stand in 4 different squares: You start in the corners like the video mentions, look at middle to determine which vertical column is unsafe and adjust if needed. Then look at the portal that is closest to the horizontal row you are in. If it is spinning away from you, you are already in the safe square, just stand towards the outer corner in the square and you are good. If it is rotating towards you, just move "in" one row, towards the middle of the arena - so into the row where the portal is. Now do the same thing for the next portal, the only one you haven't already looked at. Again, if it is rotating away, you're good - don't move further. If it is rotating towards you, you move up another row into the one where that portal is. If everybody does this you should all end up in the safe squares. Again, just my method of visualizing it quickly. After a few runs you barely have to think about it any more. Love the guides as always Hector, please never stop with the amount of effort and energy you put into them!
Having missed the initial boat on Criterion, you'd be surprised how late we still need videos for updated pf strats. :P I just got my first clear last week by joining a farm party that forgot to set Duty Complete req. (I wasn't carried, I knew all the mechs and had seen enrage countless times before.) Speaking of, we need Zurvan for the upcoming Unreal if you please.
Better late than never! Too bad I already cleared Criterion before this guide came out, but if I'm ever gonna try Savage, it's good to know how that last mechanic is done, since I've never had to. Gonna be looking forward to P9S-P12S guides!
UPDATE (Post made in 6.58) If your DPS is high, just do the final mechanic in savage as you would in normal mode, so DPS it down and win This is especially true if you have your relic and/or dungeon gear (605 pieces) and grade 8 pots
sorry to hear you didn't like the first criterion, I actually loved it personally, interesting fights IMO. 18 clears to get the chair mount tho, so much for 1 week and done lol
I got my first clear by slightly deceiving my way into a farm party (I was not carried and apologized after anyway), and on our second run of the farm, I got the mount... Still need another clear for the last reward, but thankfully I only need 4 total instead of 29.
After farming the variant dungeon I started to lose motivation to try the variant. There's only so much time in the day and I never got around to it. I'm hoping to keep up with the new one and get back to farming this dungeon eventually. I need that mount.

Thanks so much for finishing the guides for this dungeon! My group is working on this before Dawntrail so your guides are really appreciated.
Even after 6 months+, your guide is still the best explained so thank you very much for taking the time do make this guide. It helps me and many others who are trying to clear the savage version for achievement or personal challenge.

Now we can finally kill Boss 3 !
Thanks for all the work Hector! Looking forward to your P9 Guide :P

You goddamn slacker *bonk* Also were working on this exact boss so ty
thank you for the guide. my group just got to this fight. :)

Thank you for creating a guide for a fight that was released 6 months ago :)
Appreciate the guides! Do you plan on doing AmR and the latest one?
this take a while but well haha... it is always useful man
I recently cleared the criterion version and I missed this. Still is gonna be useful for savage though!
Better late than never! Too bad I already cleared Criterion before this guide came out, but if I'm ever gonna try Savage, it's good to know how that last mechanic is done, since I've never had to. Gonna be looking forward to P9S-P12S guides!
Regarding the last mechanic... Do you still need to break the Tethers with the "cheese" strats? Thanks
UPDATE (Post made in 6.58)
If your DPS is high, just do the final mechanic in savage as you would in normal mode, so DPS it down and win
This is especially true if you have your relic and/or dungeon gear (605 pieces) and grade 8 pots
Soooo....Who what's to go for the clear before maintenance???
sorry to hear you didn't like the first criterion, I actually loved it personally, interesting fights IMO. 18 clears to get the chair mount tho, so much for 1 week and done lol
I found the bosses fun… but not enough to farm 2 dozen times for a mount. Hoping the next criterion dungeon has a better reward system.

You forgot you didn't upload this guide, did you?
