So I'm fairly certain the length of that phase is based on his hp.

Hmm, maybe the WAR from the video I posted was just holding the golems then. They also had a DRG/MNK/BRD on Nael deus Darnus rather than our DRG/PLD combo, so that could explain the difference in duration as well. The duration could have potentially gone down even more if they just slept the golems and sent the WAR up to Nael as well.

i scoured the intarwebz for videos of the quest series. celeras's vid is the best available. you can see in his unending journey there are like 7 (+1) cutscenes and the last one he's seen selecting is #6, so either #7 is there and he edited out the part where he replays it, or theres 1 more scene

edit: there was also a jp youtube clip i saw earlier today but somehow thats no longer there

If someone has a map/overhead shot, I can draw up the guide

OMG TRAVEL THRU TIME!

edit: see my thread. 2.0 trailer up! @_@

I'll just boss mode this mspaint/powerpoint

The tank eats Dynamo but no one else should then, right?

it wont hit him, if it doesn't hit the mage's when he's at the tank, it wont hit the tank when hes at the mages. you can always move up though to be safe, there's no harm in it as it is the only move he will do

No, Lunar Dynamo has a "safe zone" within a certain radius from Nael. Iron Chariot Damages close-in, Lunar Dynamo damages far out.

man it's late, I fucked that up and im not gonna edit it. Just know that while it changes nothing as far as strategy, the two safe zones have their ability labels backwards.

We saw him port up for no reason a few times during our shittier attempts. I would assume it only happens when he isn't bringing meteors down, as you have a valid reason to be there otherwise

There was a case of Nael teleporting to the top and one-shotting a BLM and then when he teleported back down to keep using Fierce Ravensbeak. It was again when the BLM went up before Meteors (way before) and he shouldn't of had any hate as I can't recall him casting on Nael whatsoever in phase2 (this was also ridiculously early in phase2) in which case if what you say is true I can only assume the BLM popped an ability or something I guess to get on the hate list which caused Nael to go batshit insane

That's odd. I don't think we ever saw Fierce Ravensbeak after the first attempt where we had no clue what we were doing. We also made sure our tank was the first to do anything before engaging.

i'd bet 20m FFXI money (or monopoly, whichever has more value) that it's entirely to do with being up there when he's not doing his meteor thing. if you fight him properly and dont gimp around getting whacked by dynamo, he is perpetually casting meteors down so it isnt as noticeable. if you fight it slow and let him heal, he will absolutely port up there and start face raping people

How many people do I need for this battle? Having difficulty finding a group for it. That's what happens when you get behind with content.
