Suggestion: Palace of the Dead 50th Floor EX [Trying to Stay Spoiler Free]

I just completed Palace of the Dead today and I have to say, I'm kind of disappointed with the last boss fight, it was way too easy, which is kind of sad because I enjoyed the character we had to fight. (especially their new gothic aesthetic... >w> ).

Don't get me wrong, I understand why it was too easy, it was designed so a group of four random people, some groups without or having too many tanks or healers, and those who don't have maxed out gear could progress.

I think it could be a very cool EX trial.

easy lol?

That cheap woman 1hit wipe my full tank party (thanks stupid DF!) when she had 50% HP left!

1hour of gaming wasted due stupid save progress this dungeon has!

that only happens when you don't dodge a single aoe the whole time

sounds like your problem

She's easy but you must not mess up her skill XD you have to avoid all of them

And to answer Mimilu
Did you forget that this is only the 50 first floor ?
And that 50 to 100 is the first challenge to end the story and 100 to 200 is the real hard challenge ? (With probable more trap more horror and things like that)

Dodge AoEs and avoid turn around for the spook mechanic that's been used a few dozen times, it's pretty easy.

As I've suggested before, I think there should be save point before bosses but make them quite a bit harder, maybe not ex levels but at least a few complex mechanics.

I know but she probably won't appear again, plus we don't know the story for us to go down floors 51-200.
This also seems like something the Wandering Ministerial would make an EX story of. >w>

Considering how weak and unskilled the character is/was, I find it too hard to be honest. Should really be more of a one-hit for a Warrior of Light.

What would be the point of a battle if you could one-shot it? >o>
Plus the character was influenced by dark magic, so they probably got a power up.

I think an EX of her is a fab idea. I had a lot of fun, but I agree, she was too easy.

I personally feel making a battle with that character was a mistake in the first place. Seriously, you make a point out of portraying the character as desperate and weak, then go and try to turn it into a badass? Gee... Way to ruin a character for fanservice.

Is turning a character into a "badass" (as you put it) ruining a character? >w>
Plus, it wasn't really the character we fought but more like a supped-up version of their corpse.

I'am for it, need

Edda Extreme

!!!

i'd prefer a Lv 60 Odin or Ultima EX

Odin EX could be good too.

As for Ultima, I would wait to see if-and-when they throw Omega Weapon into the mix

I wouldn't want an EX of that fight. Also Palace of the Dead didn't even do much for the story with them. Feels like the only reason that person was there was because people wanted it and SE couldn't even think of a interesting story for it lol. Majority was useless cutscenes which didn't do much.

How did it NOT make sense? Or maybe you didn't pay attention to who the boss was.

I know who the boss is and I didn't say it made no sense. All i said was even though that person was there the story that happened within the 1-50 floors was pretty almost not there.There was only 1 cut scene that was interesting which was we learned that perhaps people in "black robes" are involved. You won't get anymore of that person because it said [boss name] slain meaning they are dead now.

Ya they could have done a bit more on the story sicne it was the conclusion to"Her" Story but guess it was because of what happened at the end of Tam Tam hard.

The WoL actually believed "She" was gone and did not even expect that "She" would be in the PotD since little was known to what the PotD is.

Its the conclusion to her inclusion in the story. Based on what she said, there is something far more sinister at work. Someone had to have given her the knowledge, and she mentioned a man in a dark robe...

I have yet to beat this boss due to the fact people in DF can't dodge aoe. People get hit 5 times that is a wipe and about 1 hour of your time wasted.

They shouldn't give a boss an instant wipe mechanic that takes around 1 hour to get to and you have no retrys on. If you have one person who can't dodge aoe you are for sure going to wipe.

save a Lust Pom (so you can do the 5 defense down stacks) and STR up Poms, you can kill it very fast where one person doesn't matter.

She...took over an entire dungeon, used a demonic ritual to revive her fiance as an ahriman-thing, amassed a zombie/undead army, and tried to kill the savior of eorzea as one of the hardest-hitting dungeon bosses we've ever seen. (I remember wiping many times to red wedding with pugs when that dungeon was current)

Doesn't sound that unskilled and weak to me.

Though I do wish the reasoning behind her undead fascination was explained a bit more. If we were talking about the Edda we encountered way back at level 20, and not the tamtara hard Edda, I could see where you were coming from. What happened to her to make her go so crazy and powerful...? She's one of the more interesting characters in this game for me.

Edda ex on floor 200, please ^^
