The next morning, did it again on my alt AST. Didn't even need to heal Noctis and it was extremely simple. You need to warp away by timing your latency before the cast bar completes.

It isn't broken at all.

IF you can't see aoes, check your battle effect settings, maybe enable them all for a while in case this is affecting you.

If noctis keeps dying, remember that you are the tank and you have to face Garuda away from him or he's gonna eat any aoe aimed at you, he will dodge the bigger aoes himself.

For the pull in, even if you can't see the aoe just get ready to warp to the furthest rock when the cast bar is around 90% full, then warp back to garuda to perform a link strike, link strikes are what make the fight go much faster.

The Echo mechanics are in place i noticed, so if people do have issues with it; as i did a couple times just with terrible timing, the Echo handicap will kick in.

So as it may not be the most graceful of mechanics, it's still a really fun fight to watch once you get to a certain point. :)

The Car makes it all worth it. All in all i enjoyed it.

I did it as RDM & succeeded on my third go. It seemed all about timing. If you have latency, you'll have to factor that in. I did do my best to make sure to turn Garuda away from Noct, so he wouldn't get hit by AOEs. I did have to contend with not seeing a cast bar at all during the fight (aside from my own). And if the big one-shot aoe that sucks you in has a ground marker, I didn't see it. But I did put a marker on Noct & warped to him near the end of the cast. But do keep trying OP.

I was able to complete without trouble by warping away from her right after each draw in. I didn't pay attention whether or not Noctis went to the same pillar.
Noctis didn't seem to take much damage during the fight. I was careful to stack with him when he got the stack marker and point the boss away from him otherwise.

I noticed him moving behind Garuda when she used her cone AoE. I think the only damage he's supposed to take is from things targeting him, like the stack.

If you're talking about microburst, it's actually prox-based damage Did it on both my main and alt. I was halfway in between boss and monolith and lost half of my hp on my main, and when I was close to the monolith on my alt, I only took 100 damage when the attack went off, and I was acutally used Warp strike the second I see a pull back animation taking effect..

Wiped once to the big insta-kill AoE she pulls you in for about halfway. I figured you just have to keep using the Duty action to jump out after every pull-in. The problem is her last pull-in was like a moment or two right before the cast bar fills-up. So I literally warped out after she pulled me in the final time and I still died warping behind the pillar no less. What I ended up doing the 2nd time was literally spamming the warp action to the point where she could never pull me into the center because I would warp back to the pillar about halfway during the draw-in effect. Seems to have worked, because the 1 hit kill didn't touch me the 2nd time around.

I did it as my blue mage.
mighty guard and diamond back through it and lived.
white wind also heals noct up back to full health if needed.
was extremely easy as blue mage I felt
