I just had to LOL at this comment. If you read any of the previous posts, there's VERY SIMPLE ways to beat every boss. You can stun the orge's 360 swings. You can Cleric stance holy the adds in the third boss. With a blm or bard they can AOE them down easily as well. It's just knowing what to do and not having derpy members.

Can the gold lung be silenced or stunned?

no, it's an instant cast. just eat the fruit at 2 stacks.

if your talking about the morbol at the end, it can't be silenced or stunned either.

I loved it. Tanked it over and over and over. I remember this WHM girl being sort of scared when i proposed having her use Holy on the Seeds after quite a couple of tries. But it payed off and i think she felt pretty proud at the end. You dont get that with faceroll dungeons. Probably only had two groups be unable to do it. But its still amazing there are people out there that cant count to 3 after 30 practice rounds. Elmo can do it, why can't you?

I did it as a fresh Leel 45 White Mage. Completed it with only major issue was the last boss. But after a few tries we got it down.

I even got good feedback for being a good healer. So it is a hard dungeon for sure. But that is what makes it fun I think

Swiftcast>Summon Fairy....works everytime.

My comment about it being harder than coil was slightly dramatized but seroiusly for the level range the dungeon is..it is really kinda hard.

I think people need to stop and think prior to trying to advance. There are Gear Checks and Mechanic checks in this game as you progress. Chances are, if you are failing on this you failed to gear your character properly or you haven't learned mechanics what so ever.

Guildhests are a good place to hone your arts. They give you small challenges that teach you mechanics and are good XP as well.

For the OP complaining of no Red Danger areas, there are plenty in this game, Garuda HM is one example.

I guess my whole thing is, would you rather a dumbed down, I can go into a dungeon no matter the difficulty in NQ crafted gear and 1 shot it with NP?
Or a game that offers a challenge at each step of the game? I'd rather the challenge, it gives you something to strive and work towards. My suggestion is to run prior dungeons and gear up and read a strategy guide after failing multiple times. The fact that it took you multiple fails to realize the fruit cleanses your stacks is saddening.

Did this yesterday as scholar with two dragoons. No one died.

LOL, i thought it was just me. Welp, i've run this dungeon out enough as a newbie to know it well. The problem with this dung it's almost impossible for ST dps jobs. Everything else is manageable except the final boss spawn fruit. It's impossible to clear them without one aoe DPS, and they must know what they are doing. 2+ Seedlings germinate from the fruit, GG.
