Qarn Hard final boss seems WAY overtuned.

I found that part even funnier my 2nd time through(as tank). First time I only got 3 stack so I didn't get mummy'd, but second time I went with another group of friends. As tank I got hit with that 4th stack.
Me: I'm out for 30s...
MNK Friend: Shitshitshit *pops all defensive skills*

The MNK was 2nd on the enmity list, other 2 were a BRD and SCH.

its easy bro no one should be complaining about the new dungeons

Really? I feel like it was the easiest boss of all the Hard Mode Dungeon. I haven't yet to see a party wipe on this Boss. I feel like the opposite Dungeon are too easy and no challenge. Bring back the day of Pharos and Demon Wall pre nerf please. The only boss I find even difficult in this hard mode dungeon 2.4 Patch is the Pirate Boss and the Cactaur where I see a few wipe on this.

Most of the time even doing this 1st time I thought there is no mechanic because haven't wipe yet even during 1st time.

But Laser in this fight? I think the OP is talking about Normal Quarn then. If that is the case I do feel normal mode is harder then hard, last boss anyway, lol.

Lol i laughed as a healer when i saw tht tail spin hit.
Also the 2nd boss, just popping regen and a stoneskin would make the target only drop down to like 95% hp at the most lol.
Dunno why ppl didn't take much dmg from the supposedly op mechanic the boss had. O wait maybe cuz ppl don't use stoneskin enough.

I just think when ppl have shiny gear and suck over and over again is cuz either they dunno how to play with randoms and were sheltered within their fc/ ls groups or they came fresh back from hunts going like wtf this is harder than zerging down a fate like boss.

I could just stand there as tank, be pretty self sufficient whilst the healer and DPS were doing something on the background with arms and tentacles.

Pistol spam >> Targeted player runs through the boss, he stops shooting. LOS kinda thing.

Arms and Tenticles >> we kinda figured to leave the tenticles alone. If there are 2-4 arms up, kill them or you get tornado'd, if there are 6+ up just focus on the boss.

Al least that's how we did it. Hope it helps.


Crap I was looking to do a spoiler thing so you can click on it, but I guess I don't know how. At any rate there it is. Anyone know how to do that here? Hide what I'm writing?

Weird, I feel Qarn final boss is the easiest final boss of 3 new dungeons.....

That boss is my favourite in the entire game currently. I didnt find it hard, but so much fun.
I thinl you just need to practice if you find it too hard. Maybe start practicing ifrit hm. And when you think that is easy you can practice titan hm. And if you manage to kill titan hm that boss should be easy!

So we finally get a good boss who requires more than just bashing your face on keyboard. Better nerf that!

Just my two gil on this but I will say I did love the new Qarn :D granted I only did one run of it so far but it wasn't bad with the party I was with. To the OP it might have been just the luck of the draw because yeah I could see the laser being iffy to dodge while mummies are doing their thing.

I enjoyed both Stasha HM and Qarn HM. Like probably more than I should have. Took a few wipes on Stasha to figure things out but finished it after figuring it. First time I did Qarn, we got stuck on the Cactuar, the SMN and BRD in the group at that time couldn't understand the mechanic. So we plugged away. Wasted a lot of time. The BRD left after the 4th wipe to it. SMN left after we beat the second boss. We get replenished with two BRDs with like 18 mins left. We decide to push forward. Make it to boss with seven mins, but Heals got ate at 2 mins along with a BRD. So that run failed. I re-Q'd and almost felt like I speed ran it. I was comfortable with the DMG I was taking so I would gather larger than normal packs, plus it helped to have a BLM, BRD and SCH grouped up. Each boss went down with ease. I found Qarn to be the easier of the two so far. Stasha has some punchy mo-fo's in there lol.

Working on unlocking Snowcloak tonight. That looks like a lot of fun.
