    The Gaol is brutal. I remember barely squeaking past Hard solo with unsynced & epic echo at level 60 & solid gear. VERY impressive solution! Perhaps the best one, as tanking it gives a brutal damage down debuff.

    • @rathgames
      @rathgames  Рік тому +43

      Actually tanking it was one of the things I tried. I couldn't get the hp on Solo with the gear available but normal titan doesn't give the damage down. I was pretty shocked to learn that honestly.

  • @fluffyfang4213
    @fluffyfang4213 Рік тому +42

    Other breakpoints to beat the fight would have involved getting enough hp to survive a gaol hit (likely using SCH) or enough damage to make him change phase before he casts it. I'm mostly impressed Doton does enough damage to break a gaol at level 50 which makes it viable at the lowest level.

    What an exciting episode! I didn't think the gaol could be done, but I also hadn't tried ninja thinking it couldn't survive the regular damage. The rest of the way should be much easier!
    For Palace grinding, most people do floors 51-60 since you can start from those floors when you first reach them and they give the most experience. They're easier than the previous 20 floors too, almost surprisingly so. Warrior is definitely a good class to get to that point!
    Well done!~

      Since it'll be horrible to grind up higher level jobs, and I'm gear capped at ilvl 110 crafted in ARR, I don't currently have a limitation on class levels. The vitality increases are small in comparison to the required grinds, and really all it's doing is giving me access to more abilities / weaponskills

  • @renycilfay9773
    @renycilfay9773 Рік тому +1

    Pronunciation of Dzemael is "zih - MY - ehl", based on in-game cutscenes from Heavensward.
    Funnily enough, Scholar can *also* defeat Titan at level 50 with some luck and the maximum gear available from A Realm Reborn (Item level 130 plus 135 weapon.) I am aware that you won't have access to that amount of gear as a solo player at your point in the story, though. Here's how SCH can get through:
    Scholar's HP (Dunesfolk Lalafell for me) is 5,625 when synced to level 50, without Echo.
    Critical Adloquium adds an effective shield worth over 4,100 HP, for a total of 9,725 effective HP.
    On your Ninja, which has less Magic Defense than Scholar, you were taking 12,000 damage about from the gaol.
    Scholar has access to a couple sources of mitigation that work here, since the gaol deals magic-type damage. Sacred Soil, and Fey Illumination.
    Scholar can put down the soil to reduce the damage taken by 10%, but placing it is *extremely unforgivingly* tight, also requiring a favourable server tick to last 18 seconds instead of its expected 15.
    Fey Illumination is a little kinder. Fey Illumination will reduce the damage taken by a further 5%, but also increase the Adloquium shield by 10%. Since it lasts 20 seconds, you need to swiftcast, command the fairy to use the skill, and then use the swiftcast on Adloquium, praying for the critical, and then precisely place Sacred Soil, praying for a good server tick. Absolutely miserable.
    After Fey Illumination and Sacred Soil, the damage the Gaol will deal is (12,000x0.9)(0.95)=10,260 damage. With the bonus 10% on the shield from Fey Illumination, Scholar has an effective HP at level 50 with maximum gear of 10,135.
    Because the gear is significantly stronger *and* we're on a casting class, we can reasonably expect the damage to be less than this simply by virtue of the different gear.
    While on the subject, the only thing a tank needs to survive it with maximum level 50 gear is a cast of Rampart. They take significantly less damage by default of being a Tank (level 1 trait Tank Mastery) and they have a natural health pool of 8,670. However, after taking a hit like that, tanks don't really have comfortable ways to heal themselves back up the way that Scholar would, so I'm not certain how easy it would be to finish out the fight.
    Blue Mage can be unlocked only after defeating Ultima Weapon. Disregarding the locations of where you learn spells, a synced (level 36) Blue Mage without Echo has a fair shot at simply defeating Titan without being placed in a gaol. Ignoring Aetherial Mimicry as that spell requires another player, the simple use of Basic Instinct, Whistle, Moon Flute, Final Sting is enough to do half of Titan's total HP in one hit (Synced to level 36!!!). Since Titan jumps at 49.9% to spawn Titan's Heart, this means that Blue Mage can skip both the heart and final phase by suicide-killing Titan when he's on 50%. I expect in the future you will be unlocking Blue Mage, and this is for if you were curious about how effective it can be for synced soloing in the future. All you have to do is faff about with your DoT on until Titan is at 50%, White Wind to heal yourself, and throw out the final sting, hope it crits and/OR direct hits, and win. Absolutely broken job for this challenge.

  • @shadowthephoenix1
    @shadowthephoenix1 Рік тому +2

    Very cool solution to fighting titan solo! Im honestly shocked you had enough hp to live as a lvl 50 dps lol, i guess a testament to how much survivability nin, and melees in general, actually have.
    One tip i would say is to use true north for when the boss isn't cast locked and theres no way to get positionals. The damage, especially on certain melees, adds up to be a lot.

    To be fair, while Palace of the Dead is pretty mind numbing, later floors give you more xp (and your level also matter, the higher your level, the more xp you get). And if you can get to floor 50 and finish the quest you can start from floor 50. So if you have collected at least some aetherpool (which you can get from getting from 1 to 50 I think) you can start from level 50 you will start with level 60 inside and a pretty easy set of floors and a better xp than first 10 floor. So while you playing solo it's a decent way to get xp.
