Extreme Mode Primals Information

[Rembrant]

A second set of Magitek Bits will spawn, and shortly after, Six ships will crash and damage with Freefire. Your best bet to avoid this is to run to the center? (Unsure. a few of us died, so I don't know the proper way to mitigate this.) Kill the bits.

The last thing Ultima does is cast, well...Ultima. Deals approx 30k damage to everyone. Again, we sort of died here. Not sure how to get past this.

I hope this helps you all out with the fight. Best of luck.

A pox upon the 1000 character limit. For shame!

Ultima is timed so in other words the fight is a DPS race if you take too long he will cast ultima and one shot the PT. With enough DPS you can win without him doing ultima so that is how you survive. The fight is pretty much a dodge fest and DPS race.

Forgot to mention you are correct first magitek bits the rockets target the inside so you run to the outside. For the second magitek bits the rockets target the outside so everyone has to run to the middle to take less damage.

Question about the 4 orb, 8 orb thing. Is suicide kamikaze is the right way to deal with it?
I think there is some way to minimize damage more than that, since it is level 70 content, it shouldn't need whole pt of hp 4200+. (that is HP from turn-5 coil level)

because even if you can share damage, 7000 x 4 = 28,000 hp, and divide by 7 person (if all go together), still 4,000 damage to 1 person. Although most of pt choose to let DPS suicide, and raised back with whm LB3. I think it isn't the right method SE decide for.

Yup, think of UW casting Ultima as an enrage timer in Coil. Burn him down quickly enough and he never even bothers trying to cast it. If you have him at 10% health and he still hasn't ported to the center yet, LB him down if you still have your LB.

Crap...If only I knew this sooner. I indirectly caused a wipe during a good run because of it. I was keeping LB3 thinking he'd do the same thing where we had to nuke him down when he starts casting it. I should have just used it...

so how do you get those items for the new lv90 weapons? does each primal just drop one to everyone in party after you defeat it (once a week) or is it actually random?

[Churchill]

You get an item as part of the quest, I haven't done Ifrit yet but I imagine that afterwards you'll turn them all in, get the notes from Rowena, and pick your weapon. Pick up quest for next week and repeat.

[ServerCollaps]

you dont get one after defeating garuda ex, thats all i can say after some kills of her

some ppl say that you get them once you killed all 3 of them after some quests

[Nosiahk]

how do you deal with the (seemingly) random super cyclone aoe at garuda? it just seems to decimate the group every time, hits for ~3800 :x

Super Cyclone is not random. 3 Stacks of Thermal Flow will cause it to cast super cyclone and its from tanking spiny plume. Tanks should rotate the spiny plume when they get 2 stacks.

The issue I have with Ultima is being able to heal while having to dodge as much as I have to. Especially during the Ifrit rushdowns, I have trouble keeping up and tanks go too long without heals because I can't stop moving.
