for those having trouble dodging cauterize, someone in one of my runs noticed that he only dives from N/E on 1st dive and S/W on the 2nd. It made it way easier to look out for and gave a lot of people time to dodge the aoes + dives
5:30 Before this I was like "this does't look too bad a little complicated but eh" but then more and more keeps getting added on to what you have to do. 6:30 Ok. Simple enough. 6:45 ... 8:30 Yeah no thanks.
I had to pause the video several times to consolidate everything she just said. "Okay, red guys take damage, blue guys don't take damage and attack the blue thing, got it."
How I feel about all the new primals...I mean I almost cleared sophia got to 10%.. but that last 10% is tricky lol I've only cleared bismarck and ravana.. But both of them are easy compared to the other 4.
Since watching this I managed to clear Ravana EX, which isn't nearly as hard, but it gives me hope that some day I can clear, perhaps even master the other EX trials too.
SheepyTina umm I think... if you did rav ex, it feels way better if work way up. Bis rav thor, etc. Also party communication is still important, I almost did thordan learning to bird farm in 1 day. I'm super picky, if party won't talk, sometimes I leave. Only I still get confused to what phases can skip if burn down. In worst case follow party or 1 other person unless you are assigned where to stand and all should be ok. In my case I had to lern to do 3 counts cuz I got over paranoid and almost moved to early. Not to sell self short but if I can do it, any1 can
Shara Byrne bruh. I just started a 70 sch. Since my main is a smn it made sense...at first lol. This looks like some work as a sch. Whm is prolly way easier
Thank you for posting these guides, they are a huge help. You use the perfect pace for going through it all, and the jot-notes you put in for the moves are also a great help.
Andrew Joy this thing isn't firefighter or alone in the darkness. Not even close. Those fights were absolutely back breaking, and in the case of no light 25, impossible at T8. If I were to categorize it, I'd call it........ FL Shannox 25H. That's about the skill level needed. The traps, proper switches and DPS Concentrations, etc. to put this fit up there with 4H40, Cthun, or zero light 25 isn't doing those fights justice. Then again, it's just my opinion.
Lmao comparing Shannox HC to Nidhogg EX... you are crazy and a fanboi my man. Shannox HC is so fucking easy his HC mode was easier than normal if you were a decent raider at that time. Nidhogg ex is around the same difficulty level as Majordomo HC, Blackhorn HC, etc, sure, not endgame boss, but the ones that are the hardest of an instance are a match to nidhogg, not early fodder that are loot pinatas.
One thing I forgot to mention. There is still a hard enrage in Nidhogg Extreme. It's a 10 second Deafening Bellow. It's most after the final phase rotation repeats 2-3 times.
If Nidhogg hits 80% during hot stuff mechanics, it's possible to skip the second set after the first. (i.e. if he uses hot wings first and hits 80% during he cast, it will go to add phase without casting hot tail next) Also it's easier to bring both adds together while facing the magic add away from the group, including the other tank (mostly in case if physical add gives tank disease and they may not pull magic add in time and other tank has no hallowed/holmgang/living dead ready for any reason). Also fireball is magic so the tank who tanked magic add isn't too far away.
Akh Morn doesn't act as a soft enrage since at the end of the second loop of sable prices Nidhogg will enrage with a Deafening bellow, so that part is wrong.
Also, collapsing in the middle makes it harder to dodge the second cauterize if the player moves to the cauterized area, since they would have to turn around for them, and they may not avoid cauterize in time, even with sprint. What my group does is that we stay where we currently are until nidhogg casts cauterize 2 then go to the next safe zone.
Could there possibly be anymore mechanics to deal with in a fight, seriously, just watching the vid and trying to take mental notes of everything made my brain hurt lol
so many mechanics and bullshit you must remember or wipe... doing all that will getting AOEed by a boss that can one shot you with randoms that get very impatient and leave after a couple tries.
I'm really having trouble with the orb positionals, it feels like after we drop the pools of hysteria I either get instakilled or I can't tell which area is the safe one. Is there any like "tips and tricks for idiots" you can offer or is it just to keep running it?
You must've got a different mic somewhere between this and castrum which was the last video I watched. Your voice is much louder and even more confident.
how come their camera seems to pull back further than what's possible in my game? You can see all of nidhogg in this video you cannot do that in my game. Im on PC 1080P monitor/settings. I cannot pull the camera that far back.
So now you can do this fight unsynced, and I'm wondering: Does the extra defence everybody has on their gear now make it more difficult to kill Nidhogg's Claw? People tethered to it must take a lot of damage after all and for example the body armour of people at iLv310 have double the defence and magic defence that people at iLv260 that would be likely to do this fight the last patch before Stormblood do.
Noticed that you said "If the tank gets tethered blue." the MT will ALWAYS get tethered blue and will ALWAYS need to swap after tethers go out initially and get switched later.
MTQ I have a question :o. for my raid we have 2 paladin, 2 ninja , summoner, bard, scholar, and a astrologian (me!!!). Do you think since we have the same classes in the raid we will probably not finish the dps check or does that mean the healers have to dps to help pass through that phase.
Guaranteed drop, but the weapons are random. You'll also collect Horde Totem's, which you can collect 10 of and trade them in for a weapon of your choosing in Idleshire.
I've tried to watch this a couple of times now and most of the time I can get past everything, except until the Sable Price phase. For some reason I just can't get the positioning down and always die...
So thought id let ya know we encountered sum thing unique in our run when he decided to use hot wing and tail at the same time thought ppl should know that its sum thing that could happen
What's sad is that this fight isn't even that difficult. The only things that make it difficult are how hard the abilities hit, the finicky hitboxes in the first phase (seriously, even if you're just a small hair too close to another person with a mark or a cauterize, you're pretty much guaranteed to die), and the Fang and Claw phase. Even then, the Fang and Claw phase isn't too difficult if you have tanks that are good at swapping quickly. The only reason my group struggled so much on this fight is because of how hard the abilities hit :/
I get instagibbed on my Pally when trying to tank the Falak. Not sure exactly how you're surviving. Not doing anything different than what is being shown in the vid.
NM is easy. Even easier than Sephi. IMO. All you need to do is watch out for AOE, stack when circle spawns and you actually get all the AOE locations shown.
Actually if people paid attention to the wording used to refer to Nidhogg leading up to this fight and using Odin as an example the Nidhogg of this fight very well could be. Odin himself is a primal that does not fit the typical primal profile as in: he doesn't need crystals or worship to manifest. They refer to Nidhogg as a shade, which implicates that he isn't the real one whom had actually perished in the Aery. Nidhogg only survived for so long prior to the Aery was because of his brood brother's lent strength and it has been mentioned before had he not been helped he would have died to his fatal wounds.
+Rosalie Hill still not a primal, he doesnt feed on aether, he's a dragon born from Midgarsormr. He has similarities to primals, but isn't one. Odin is also not a primal, Zantetsuken is.
The original Nidhogg was a dragon born of Midgarsormr. This Nidhogg is simply a shade of him, given form by his unrelenting hatred and rancor. This particular Nidhogg? Might as well be a Primal, for all we know of him.
Matheus Teixeira His rage, his entire aetherial being dispersed into the air. He's as good as dead nowadays, as his eyes are effectively worthless. The only thing the eyes have now are Lahabrea's essence, which is what the Warriors of Darkness are truly after.
I watched the video to learn the fight and craft me a nice rapier, ok it's not that hard, then after near 2 hour queue my dream shatters when I watch all party member run like heedless chickens in the mechanics.
Not really. As a tank main doing this was pretty easy. You can also afford to make the mistake of getting hit by a few AoEs because, well, you have a lot of HP, armor, and cooldowns and whatnot. Most DPS will just die instantly if they get hit.

That Nidhogg map drawing was marvelous.
for those having trouble dodging cauterize, someone in one of my runs noticed that he only dives from N/E on 1st dive and S/W on the 2nd. It made it way easier to look out for and gave a lot of people time to dodge the aoes + dives
good tip.
ty
A year too late but he casts a shadow when flying so you can tell where he is going to swoop from
RIP to those who disabled shadows
5:30 Before this I was like "this does't look too bad a little complicated but eh" but then more and more keeps getting added on to what you have to do.
6:30 Ok. Simple enough.
6:45 ...
8:30 Yeah no thanks.
That was EXACTLY my thoughts too XD
I had to pause the video several times to consolidate everything she just said. "Okay, red guys take damage, blue guys don't take damage and attack the blue thing, got it."
I wanna do Nidhogg EX and get that nice axe! [watches guide] NOPE
How I feel about all the new primals...I mean I almost cleared sophia got to 10%.. but that last 10% is tricky lol
I've only cleared bismarck and ravana.. But both of them are easy compared to the other 4.
Since watching this I managed to clear Ravana EX, which isn't nearly as hard, but it gives me hope that some day I can clear, perhaps even master the other EX trials too.
SheepyTina overwhelmed

Me: I wanna be a healer for once!
*Gets whm to 60*
Watches guide
NOPE
*Uses dps*
I'm a lvl 70 white mage. Mistakes were made.
Shara Byrne bruh. I just started a 70 sch. Since my main is a smn it made sense...at first lol. This looks like some work as a sch. Whm is prolly way easier
Thank you for posting these guides, they are a huge help. You use the perfect pace for going through it all, and the jot-notes you put in for the moves are also a great help.
Went at this for 6 hours yesterday 0_0 i feel dead inside
For phase 1 the first cauterize always come from North/East, the second always come from South/West. The one after Estinien form seems to be random.
6:55 How many more mechanics can u fuking cram into a single fight ?
Thordan says hello ;)
Not many , this thing is insane , on the level of firefighter 25 and alone in the darkness from WOW
Also, just wait until she releases her A8 guide. Then we may very well have our answer.
Andrew Joy this thing isn't firefighter or alone in the darkness. Not even close. Those fights were absolutely back breaking, and in the case of no light 25, impossible at T8.

I'm... scared LOL
I applied for a job as a bread maker and they asked what my qualifications were. I told them I did this without dying and they gave me the job....
a ''bread maker'', do you mean a baker?
@@Henri-email-archive no. I can only make bread. once I try to make cookies, the place burns to the ground....
Nutkin hotbar.
Women.
Also, what is Nidhogg's favorite food? Hot wings.
Richard Briesch lol, umm are there any bard jokes? I kno there's 1 you said, and I know whm war and drg jokes
Get out.
I haven't had a chance to jump into this yet but always enjoy your guides.
Brain status - melted.
i'm not saying this is insane but becoming US president seems easier at this point.
8:20 "before these explurde "
Glad to know I wasn't the only one that heard that.
One thing I forgot to mention. There is still a hard enrage in Nidhogg Extreme. It's a 10 second Deafening Bellow. It's most after the final phase rotation repeats 2-3 times.
No opening pun? I'm disappointed.
Hot Wing
*A delicious snack* its no pun but its still funny 2:09
Thanks for the guide, killed it from zero exp in just 2 hours with pug group
Be aware that if you don't push enough dps before the add phase, you will repeat Cauterize again
thanks for making this video! :D it's good to see some more videos
If Nidhogg hits 80% during hot stuff mechanics, it's possible to skip the second set after the first. (i.e. if he uses hot wings first and hits 80% during he cast, it will go to add phase without casting hot tail next) Also it's easier to bring both adds together while facing the magic add away from the group, including the other tank (mostly in case if physical add gives tank disease and they may not pull magic add in time and other tank has no hallowed/holmgang/living dead ready for any reason). Also fireball is magic so the tank who tanked magic add isn't too far away.
Thank you for a real guide!!!
Akh Morn doesn't act as a soft enrage since at the end of the second loop of sable prices Nidhogg will enrage with a Deafening bellow, so that part is wrong.
I'm going to have to watch this again...
the true hero love your content keep the good job :)
Also, collapsing in the middle makes it harder to dodge the second cauterize if the player moves to the cauterized area, since they would have to turn around for them, and they may not avoid cauterize in time, even with sprint. What my group does is that we stay where we currently are until nidhogg casts cauterize 2 then go to the next safe zone.
Could there possibly be anymore mechanics to deal with in a fight, seriously, just watching the vid and trying to take mental notes of everything made my brain hurt lol
Thank you for all your helpful vids :)
I laugh every time you say "horridd roar", cuz it makes me think of the "rural juror" from 30 Rock. :D
Took me a few mins of pausing to take in all the mechanics in phase 1 and 2 and then phase 3 explanation happened
A delicious snack.
im going to wait until the next Allagan Tomestones so people will be overgeared for this.
I did that for Seph Ex, but this one doesn't seem as bad.
+Crimson Kioku some dont mlg an mmo bro. some just do it for completion purposes without the headache that's usually associated with it.
+Crimson Kioku Glamour
now its the overgeared time you mentioned, however ppl still wipe on it on daily basis.
wiped 12 times today and didnt even reach phase 3 XD
I can't even fit that much stuff into my brain right now, let alone understand how they added so many godawful mechanics to this run
SAME THING WITH DESTINY 2 YOU MUST HAVE REAL LIFE FRIENDS THAT PLAY THIS GAME TO DO THIS CONTENT PERIOD.
so many mechanics and bullshit you must remember or wipe... doing all that will getting AOEed by a boss that can one shot you with randoms that get very impatient and leave after a couple tries.
the AOE awareness is strong within this fight
Makes me wonder why Ishgard trains Dragoons to fight him. :P
I was waiting for this!
This looks sooo hard e.e I'm going to get CARRIED...
this is madness.....
This is war 😎
And I have another headache lol good video
I'm glad you didn't start talking about hot wings like a certain youtuber.
she didn't audibly say anything but the joke was still in the video
+Korrag IV lol where was the joke i didn't notice it
2:06 "Hot Wing: A Delicious Snack"
I got PTSD watching this....
rewatching this, in case the mechanics pop up again in the ultimate LOL
same xd
I’m looking for the trial I was last working on it was so close with fc help of course
Super Jump is placed based on a random player's positioning
I have seen super jump be in the middle.
I'm really having trouble with the orb positionals, it feels like after we drop the pools of hysteria I either get instakilled or I can't tell which area is the safe one.
Is there any like "tips and tricks for idiots" you can offer or is it just to keep running it?
Oh, yes, I've been eaten by Nidhogg many times to know this creature.
You must've got a different mic somewhere between this and castrum which was the last video I watched. Your voice is much louder and even more confident.
Doesnt get much more beta than that.
+blitzanz how is that a beta comment?
You may have all of my nope.
It's really not that bad. Thanks for the guide.
Thanks for the guide
That Nidhogg drawing. I'd pay to have that as a poster
how come their camera seems to pull back further than what's possible in my game? You can see all of nidhogg in this video you cannot do that in my game. Im on PC 1080P monitor/settings. I cannot pull the camera that far back.
CTRL arrow up or down, play with it like I do every day, different angles, also easily adjustable during runs
What exactly are the visual indicators for Hot Tail and Hot Wing? I watched this scene several times and couldn't distinguish them at all.
Now to get my DPS check high enough... Then I can hopefully learn.
Jesus Christ, it's like trying to consolidate string theory with gravity.
So now you can do this fight unsynced, and I'm wondering: Does the extra defence everybody has on their gear now make it more difficult to kill Nidhogg's Claw? People tethered to it must take a lot of damage after all and for example the body armour of people at iLv310 have double the defence and magic defence that people at iLv260 that would be likely to do this fight the last patch before Stormblood do.
Marcin Bohdziewicz Dont worry it still works even unsynced
Noticed that you said "If the tank gets tethered blue." the MT will ALWAYS get tethered blue and will ALWAYS need to swap after tethers go out initially and get switched later.
"dragoony cleave" made me giggle.
Even at current ilvl, I'm convinced this fight is harder than A9S, A10S, and Sophia EX.
that stuff about Sable Price is really jarring.
MTQ I have a question :o. for my raid we have 2 paladin, 2 ninja , summoner, bard, scholar, and a astrologian (me!!!). Do you think since we have the same classes in the raid we will probably not finish the dps check or does that mean the healers have to dps to help pass through that phase.
so the 235 weapon...random drop or are we guarenteed a drop?
Guaranteed drop, but the weapons are random. You'll also collect Horde Totem's, which you can collect 10 of and trade them in for a weapon of your choosing in Idleshire.
Toot Woot How many weapons drop per fight?
Krontok Think it's usually one, but you might get two. No more than two.
So i have a 1 in 7 chance at getting my weapon, less if there's more than 1 of my class. ):
Welcome to farming :P
Im having trouble on the final phase, healing and dodging and looking at health bars is hard and paying attention to the sable price orbs ugh
I subjected 6 mentors to this fight for a full hour. I'm sorry. I didn't get the memo and walked into the fight absolutely blind.
I've tried to watch this a couple of times now and most of the time I can get past everything, except until the Sable Price phase. For some reason I just can't get the positioning down and always die...
This fight looks fun
I have watched this 3 times and I am confident until the Fang and Claw part. I'm pretty sure that's where I'll screw the team up. XD
can us till do this and get Dark Lanner Whistle?
So..... How much can you tank at 70 unsync? (-the Fang's mech)
musta been some serious conversations going on the chat to rub it out :)
Just completed thus a few hours ago, NOT EASY
Just completed it a couple minutes ago. Both healers and 1 tank were the only ones alive by the end of it 😂
Hope get a clear in mentor roulette one day 😅😅
So thought id let ya know we encountered sum thing unique in our run when he decided to use hot wing and tail at the same time thought ppl should know that its sum thing that could happen
great job on the video... SE gives another challenge lol
her voice is so good, i have to listen 2-3 because not that i understand but because i like her voice lol .. thanks for the guide so soothing
and the yellow guy fighting in fencing with the orange guy?
Holy hell now ik why it’s so difficult to beat lol
Doing these suck cuz there's no way of getting experience for it unless your in a free company that decides to do it.
Now it's even worse with it being outdated content.
god damn..i watched 2nd times trying my best to understand the mechanics and i lost track with the red and blue tether thingy....
Seriously! Zurvan EX is peanuts compared to this.
What's sad is that this fight isn't even that difficult. The only things that make it difficult are how hard the abilities hit, the finicky hitboxes in the first phase (seriously, even if you're just a small hair too close to another person with a mark or a cauterize, you're pretty much guaranteed to die), and the Fang and Claw phase.
Even then, the Fang and Claw phase isn't too difficult if you have tanks that are good at swapping quickly.
The only reason my group struggled so much on this fight is because of how hard the abilities hit :/
Was suffering in this fight for a whole day... I haven’t done it.... still.., 😕
I'm only hearing the guide and i'm getting scared.
I wish we'd get this in Unreal
no pun/10
MTQ i love ur voice 😊
I get instagibbed on my Pally when trying to tank the Falak. Not sure exactly how you're surviving. Not doing anything different than what is being shown in the vid.
This is my 110th time watching this video and I still don't understand the first phase. Haven't got to the rest of the fight yet.
Why is there no guide for normal mode? :(
NM is easy. Even easier than Sephi. IMO. All you need to do is watch out for AOE, stack when circle spawns and you actually get all the AOE locations shown.
Thanks alot i beat it thx to you :)
He's not a Primal...
Actually if people paid attention to the wording used to refer to Nidhogg leading up to this fight and using Odin as an example the Nidhogg of this fight very well could be. Odin himself is a primal that does not fit the typical primal profile as in: he doesn't need crystals or worship to manifest. They refer to Nidhogg as a shade, which implicates that he isn't the real one whom had actually perished in the Aery. Nidhogg only survived for so long prior to the Aery was because of his brood brother's lent strength and it has been mentioned before had he not been helped he would have died to his fatal wounds.
+Rosalie Hill still not a primal, he doesnt feed on aether, he's a dragon born from Midgarsormr. He has similarities to primals, but isn't one. Odin is also not a primal, Zantetsuken is.
The original Nidhogg was a dragon born of Midgarsormr. This Nidhogg is simply a shade of him, given form by his unrelenting hatred and rancor. This particular Nidhogg? Might as well be a Primal, for all we know of him.
It's the same Niddhogg. He survived trough his eyes. And he's not dead as of now too. WoD will prolly get his eyes and use to summon something.
Matheus Teixeira His rage, his entire aetherial being dispersed into the air. He's as good as dead nowadays, as his eyes are effectively worthless. The only thing the eyes have now are Lahabrea's essence, which is what the Warriors of Darkness are truly after.
I watched the video to learn the fight and craft me a nice rapier, ok it's not that hard, then after near 2 hour queue my dream shatters when I watch all party member run like heedless chickens in the mechanics.
/me faint ....
maybe I wait for overgeared this time though.... T-T
this game looks so confusing over any other mmo i ever played x.x
And this is one of the easy fights actually, look at the Thordan EX guide :D.
I really enjoyed Thordan EX, especially the clusterfuck post-ult.
Would you rather have unlimited bacon, but no more videogames. Or games, unlimited games, but no more games?
Do I really need the Nidhogg mount that badly...
omg we did it tysm
For a second i thought this was the normal version :/
No puns in this one.
Oh god ...
Tanks have to do quite a bit
Yeah it's like they need to actually pay attention or something.
Not really. As a tank main doing this was pretty easy. You can also afford to make the mistake of getting hit by a few AoEs because, well, you have a lot of HP, armor, and cooldowns and whatnot. Most DPS will just die instantly if they get hit.
