Patch 1.23 Notes (07/25/2012)

This fight is BEYOND epic. Holy shit. Got some lulz incoming later.

**Rocl** · 2012-07-25 21:37

Serpent Private Hodder is truly the greatest challenge FFXIV has ever faced.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-07-25 21:47

We got it to 10% on our second try, defeated the golems and died to megaflare. Doesn't seem that difficult unless there's a third phase we haven't seen yet.

edit: Unable to proceed due to server congestion is ruining my immersion.

First? Offense battle, tree was boss. Ensleep and hate reset like crazy...fun fight.

**Datonare** · 2012-07-25 22:01

I'm assuming the drop rate is pretty decent?

**Churchill** · 2012-07-25 22:03

world first etc

**trinironnie** · 2012-07-25 22:07

We definitely abused the /pray on chest.

Random PUG I was in finally got to second phase and shit was just crazy. He was doing some aoe life drain thing, so some of us ran up the stairs to avoid it, then he tele'd on them and started hitting 9999? ?_?

yeah don't do that

**Datonare** · 2012-07-25 22:23

when he teleports to do the life drain, do you just run away from him? or does it hit you if you're standing in the circle only, or? The group disbanded, but it's left me curious lol

I tried running back from the life drain (not up the stairs) then got hit for 9999. Thinking you're just supposed to eat the life drain and fight through it. ;x

Were you in the glowing part of the arena? There's definitely a safe spot for it, can't figure out where since the fight tends to get a little hectic and the long waits between attempts is discouraging.

Should be said that the Drain appears to be based about the glowing ring at the edge of the arena (it pulses when he does iirc)

I go opposite side of the arena and slightly to the side, ~160 degrees from Nael, works for both flare and lancet. We got a few bad back-to-back lancets on second attempt and wiped around 15% though.

**Volken** · 2012-07-25 22:43

My initial impression is that this is unpuggable. I hope I'm wrong, I'm only in a social chat LS

**Rocl** · 2012-07-25 22:48

Phase2 music btw:

p. awesome tbh

**Volken** · 2012-07-25 22:51

Here's the music while waiting for the server congestion to clear up.
