The Mystery of Coil Turn 3

[TaalAzura]

Bet you the boss of turn 3 drops those last 4 minions we can't find.

Don't believe me if you want.

I think this is fake, you can see it from the shadows

Don't you mean more from the quality of the texture of the model is vastly different to that of the background.

Looks like he took a screenshot of ingame, then a screenshot of the xivmodels enemy and pasted it on top of it.

Well anyway, trolls aside. We'll be posting more findings this week when we tackle Turn 3. We have a few things we wanna try out and play with.

It's also possible that it's been designed to have a boss but has not come out yet. Maybe they will patch in turn 3 with 2.1 or 2.2.

1.) That's not how you use that word.
2.) This isn't Warcraft, so it wouldn't be theorycrafting. More like theoryfantasying, or something.

You know that the "craft" part of theorycraft isn't referring to Warcraft don't you? He used the term correctly.

And about this clockwork idea, it sounds interesting, but really dude that screenshot looks aweful, if it IS legitimate, please upload a better FULL screenshot.

I would agree with this, but I don't see that model on xivmodels.com :\

Still not sure if the pic is legit or not, the original doesn't look edited, but the ELA definitely does. http://fotoforensics.com/analysis.ph...f1bcbb.3289939

My assumption (if there was a hidden boss), is something to do with the Dreadguards and the fact that they will chase indefinitely across all floors. Perhaps bringing them to certain locations does something? /ponder

If there is such a mystery I don't think it involves an unexplored area. It must be a mechanic with those guards you are talking about.

The reason I say this is because there are people who have gotten the exploration achievement for turn III: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...nt/detail/682/

Unless there is a hidden achievement!

My 2 cents, hidden boss or not... this is a bad design, SE just want to keep us busy because there is not enough content. The fact that they will introduce a lvl80 content AFTER a lvl 90 it means the game wasnt "ready" as it should have been. Turn 3 "secret boss" could simply be not implemented yet.
