He gets only one new skill?

So these Lunar Curtains.. are they anti-Megaflare, or are they some sort of shell also usable against, say, Garuda? Mogglemog? Ifrit?

Could anyone do some serious damage after megaflare ? Even without his defense buff (which seems to have little effect on nukes) we weren't able to hurt him much (down to ~75% in 10 minutes).

08-14-2012, 11:18 PMLeo_HartHe keep swtiching defense mode, use MNK which good for both, on and off Fist skill. and don't let him absorb your HP which will cure him.Quote:

From what i've heard (and I can confirm two of the three).
Megaflare at 100% - Confirm
Megaflare at 20% - Confirm
Restores HP to 100% at 11% HP -

Lunar Curtain is a Sentinel like effect that works for 15 seconds, just like Sentinel. lol. I would imagine that it would work elsewhere. More testing is needed!

08-15-2012, 04:20 AMAlmalexiaWhat is the nature of the 20% Megalfare? Can you inhibit damage by preventing meteors from crashing like normal mode, or is it another 6000-damage battlefield cleanser?Quote:

Still having a hard time wrapping my head around surviving something that should normally wipe you to farm something to beat the fight.
-
08-15-2012, 04:42 AMREDace0Good point, but I imagine it takes quite a bit of effort to get him down to 11% in the first place. I'm not saying it's unfair, merely disheartening.Quote:

problem is that you'll go through all of it again when he heals himself back to 100% and then there goes the timer too and you'll end up timing out unless you can deal damage quickly and get him past 11% so he can't reheal himself.

How's his physical damage compared to normal? He can take people down pretty quickly if he skillchains. . . besides the new ability, does he hit any harder?
-

Has more then one group got him to 11% to verify that he does this at that % each time? It could also be a certain time that passes where he does that. I.E. If you do enough damage, in enough time, he wont auto heal to 100%. That wouldn't really be consistent with anything else in the game, but was just wondering. Also was the restore instant, or was it gradual kinda like the crosseye faction leve. Where you're not doing damage, and it heals real fast.

the full heal is a normal mechanic of the fight, and is instant.

08-15-2012, 06:13 AMAlmalexiaThere are 2 ways to go about it from an original position:Quote:

WAR and PLD won't need moon sugar to survive Megaflare; their Sentinel+HP is enough. If you are THM, Sentinel+Sanguine Rite will narrowly keep you alive. I think you will want BRD in any case for Battle Voice.
Ideally, you will earn back the deaspected clusters you spend with each attempt. It's not a quick battle. -

Am I the only one hoping no one beats this before 2.0? xD
-
08-15-2012, 07:08 AMRannie

Okay so going on the description of the overaspected clusters (which you can get from atomos mobs?) it sounds like they can be used for a full-revive (full HP & MP, no sickness).
This should help tremendously, and so it looks like Yoshi just wanted to troll us by forcing us to prepare for this fight ahead of time, much like you had to do in CoP - only with a more sadistic twist (you can only get the deaspected clusters from the fight itself, which is just a bad troll by SE - especially with such little time left before 2.0 beta starts.)
I'll be damned if I start 2.0 without my White Ravens. -
08-15-2012, 07:58 AMDawiichanGoing from the patch notes, the over-aspected cluster isn't in game yet.Quote:

Once you understand the fight and get like two curtains you can farm like 50 a fight. It's not a problem :D

phase 3: KILL THE BASTARD! -
08-15-2012, 11:00 AMLuxanna
yeap phase five he turns to Super Saiyan mode with 100% hp then he does 2.5k aoe dmg every minute
-
08-15-2012, 11:39 AMDeceptistarpretty sure there would be a good handful of groups beating it soon ;o same as any obstacle they gave us before. Sooner or later there will be a group posting their youtube of it to show first few kill and slapping the title "guide" lol even tho theres no guide-ish effort in the vid....Quote:

phase five = if you survive phase four (an another mega flare), he will turn to Super Saiyan mode -

The solution is obvious...
Farm ingredients, change to a crafting job mid-battle and synth. DUHHHHH
xD -
08-15-2012, 06:04 PMAmyNeudaizOh, I don't doubt people will beat it. I just have a part of me wanting them not to xDQuote:

People have already beaten it. On Masamune server. Some time earlier yesterday I believe.
I looked it up on the xivpads.com achievement search tool, here. -
08-15-2012, 06:50 PMcarraway
Yeah, Scorpion (formerly of Gysahl) beat it. Huge congratulations to them and their team; the fight's pretty unforgiving.
