Does anyone know where specifically progress is saved within the coil? Is it after every turn or after every boss or after every mini boss?

Progress is saved after each turn. In turn 1, progress is also saved for all mini-bosses and trash.
Then after the weekly reset you have to clear everything again starting at turn 1.

Progress is saved on a character level basis. You could have killed Turn 1 and then join a raid for Turn 5. You will miss out on loot from other bosses, but there is nothing stopping you from joining someone who is further. You would still be eligible to join Turn 2 again assuming you didn't kill a turn further in.

not true. once you walk in to a higher turn you are saved to it. you can skip up, but you cant go back down once you walk in. we found this out the hard way

In turn 1, is it possible to burn down the boss without dragging slimes?

Yes, that's how our FC does it.
We feed it the first two slimes before split. Then zerg it after the split with no slimes.

Thanks. Anyone know what happens when we focus to kill one clone and then move to the next?

It rages and gets a stack of Steel Scales once every 5 seconds, it's very difficult to kill at this point.
We split our party into two groups, 1 tank/2 DPS/1 Healer and whichever group kills first the second tank Hallow Grounds and DD limit Breaks.

Is there any text explanation for turn 2?

None that I've seen.

Basically, ADS has a gauntlet before you get to him. Each room you clear takes away an ability and gives him a passive. The rooms give -

Sector 1 - No ability - Attack up
Sector 2 - Balast (Giant 270o Magic Murder Cleave) - Piercing Resistance
Sector 3 - Chain Lighting - Slashing Resistance
Sector 4 - Void Zones - Blunt Resistance (I could of sworn this was haste)
Sector 5 - Giant Starburst Fire Disco Fever - Magic Vulnerability Down
Sector 6 - ADS is here
Sector 7 - Allagan Rot - Defense Up

I'm writing this while in Turn 4 so I wont put up a full guide right now.

Edit - Fixed it up a bit, the camera is the worst enemy in this turn so I never see my numbers on him.
