Castrum Fluminis is way too difficult

Shinryu never got nerfed, he's just a victim of gear creep. He was intended to challenge us at item level 290, now we're synched to 400.

Simple solution then: nerf Tsukiyomi to 290.

Shinryu and Yotsuyu are just such a sudden jump in difficulty that if your healers are both new to the game you'll be stuck in that fight for two hours. I hope the developers will nerf them (give 50% echo right away maybe?)

You take maybe 2 stacks of Moon, and then move to the Sun. Fluminis Storymode is pretty easy.
Please learn and improve, dont make XIV become like a AutoPlay mobile game like Raid Shadow Legends or AFK Arena ;)

Also always do mechanics first, rotations comes after. If you mess up mechanics, it doesnt matter if you got to do your rotations if you end up on the floor hehe

If some people do not agree with op thread subject, for god sake, no need to just attack him for saying what he thinks even if you don’t like it! It’s silly tbh. As for tsuk. For me it’s not a hard fight if you know mechanics and learn them well, it will take more for some people to get the hang of it there is nothing wrong with that, shout out to all posts who were trying to be nicer and explained to op, it costs nothing to be just nice to others you know! I’m out.

I think most of us figured that out just from the OP.

They did actually. In the first phase, less adds spawn. When it was relevant, there was basically only one safe spot in the purple aoes. Now only 3-4 adds spawn when it was more like 8. Not sure if they changed anything in the other phases though. I think the earth cone aoe Sludge damage feels way less but that could just be ilevels.

Sorry. That last post i did was supposed to be a response to this. Silly phone. Anyway first phase of shinryu defo got the nerf. Less add spawn. About almost half.

If you're finding it difficult.... (As someone who did that trial as their first welcome back to game trial... Because that's where I left off)... I suggest checking out youtube walkthroughs, and finding a group of people to learn it with.

Unfortunately, they can't make everything super easy. There has to be somewhat of a difficulty scale, and different mechanics.

Good luck on future trial and dungeon runs.

Guess she was right, your death will be all the sweeter.

This fight actually isn't hard at all. The only way you would consider it difficult is if 1) you don't know your job's rotations or 2) you are undergeared. I would suggest upgrading your equipment, learning how to play your job and pay attention to the flow of the fight. It's honestly no different from other boss fights.
