Let's predict what's going to make him harder this time.
I predict:
-More frequent meteors
-Golems are summoned all the time
-Darnus does not disappear during Meteor summons
-Game over if only one meteor hits
-Darnus himself is overall more powerful
-Shoop-da-woop Laser attack is bigger or has multiple parts/attacks.

And Kael thas' like dialogue :
Don't look so smug! I know what you're thinking, but Dalamud was merely a set back. Did you honestly believe I would trust the future to some blind, emperor ? [laughs] Oh no, no, no, he was merely an instrument, a stepping stone to a much larger plan! It has all led to this...and this time, you will not interfere! -

Don't feel like posting a new thread so I'll ask it here:
Will people who do "Rivenroad" (not Hard Mode) be able to help players advance in "To Kill a Raven" or will people have to do either/or?
Been having trouble getting "To Kill a Raven" done because everyone competent enough to do it already finished and is done with it. -

08-14-2012, 06:31 AMKagatoI should just write a guide for it since everyone is having troubles. I've owned that fight several times now.Quote:

He drops people.

08-14-2012, 06:38 AMDelsusI got through it second attempt, just need good BLMs take the meteors and you will be fine, I didn't find it the hardest fight, we had a few experienced players, but only 1 or 2 that had won before (first loss was the first meteor, my fault I had no idea where they would come from)Quote:

Only one party may enter the battle at a time
-

Meteors have more HP in ph 1
Meteors one-shot on all phases if they hit
Darnius shoots meters faster in Ph1 and 2
Darnius has more HP in all phases
Ph3 will occur 4 times
everyone is going to need Sentinel for after each ph 3 (class stacking go) -

Hard Mode: Meteors move twice as fast, 10 seconds for Megaflare prep, golems unsleepable.
-

Fight starts at second phase, Mega at higher hp%. New bat shit crazy form where those nifty wings from the phase change cs are used.

08-14-2012, 06:59 AMOrophinAs long as someone is on the quest to do To Kill a Raven, it doesn't matter who's in the party with you. I was the only one that needed a clear when I completed it.Quote:

I imagine you'll NEED the Over-aspected crystals and the Lunar Curtains to stand a chance here.
-
08-14-2012, 07:23 AMReikaThis might also be the case as well. Maybe the mechanics of the fight havent change so much, but the Lunar whatever that darnius does to the area will effect the party in someway now.Quote:

When you blow up the meteors, they splinter into fragments that rain on the field...

Based on how I've seen most parties with 'easy mode' go, my prediction is, hard mode Darnus will be immortal.
-
08-14-2012, 08:19 AMCurcioNo joke! He's not a huge problem if your party can take care of themselves, but sheesh. He hits like a truck with his comboing weaponskills. I'd like to say my Paladin is pretty well geared, but even I couldn't stand up to some of his tricks.Quote:

I can't wait to see what info comes out about it. -

My guesses:
-Still only the 2 meteors coming down, just more frequent (probably not faster falling or anything)
-He will teleport more frequently
-He body hump teabags those who have been slain like he just owned you in Halo.
-If a meteor hits its a wipe
-Meteors have more HP.
-He will summon 4 golems instead of 2
-He hits harder. -
