    Divebombs are easily avoided using a known strategy where you stand in a crevasse and simply have the..
    Dive bombs are ridiculous and random, having to bunch up 8 people in a tiny spot (like a troop of clowns in a VW Beetle). The randomness of it all when you have to move everyone at unison since the time frame in between the green cross-hair appearing and the dive is minuscule, giving you no leeway to see who's got it so they can move out on their own. It's like a bad joke.

    But I understand why people who have beaten the whole thing more than once feel the fight is like taking a candy from a baby, most of the block is psychological, once I beat it 2 or 3 times I'll probably feel is not that big of a deal.
    It's the same thing as Titan HM, to me is a child's play now but I see how a lot of people struggle and still fear that fight because they have never won it before.

    I understand how you can be having difficulty, turn 5 is probably one of the first real challenges, but honestly I think you should just keep practicing the fight and try not to get worked up about losing.

    I don't mean to be rude at all but the fight is very scripted, as other people mentioned, and once you figure out the patterns it's going to become very easy just as you mention in your experience with Titan HM (haha wait until you try Titan EX :P).

    All it takes is practice and it won't seem so random, the divebombs are actually on a timer so eventually you will be able to anticipate exactly when they are coming once you've practiced the fight enough times.

    Didn't take you as rude at all, no worries. By the way, I have beaten Titan EX already a couple of times, he's up there with Twintania, although a little higher due to the whole "plume" thing, but it is not as frustrating since you can actually see the plumes, while Twintania's dive only gives you less than a second to check who out 8 people has the damn cross-hair and if someone is a bit slow everything goes down to hell.

    You shouldn't have an issue with that. Have everyone go to this pit;

    Green marker appears

    || RUN OUT, 1-2 || RUN BACK IN ||
    5 SECONDS
    || RUN OUT, 1-2 || RUN BACK IN ||
    5 SECONDS
    || RUN OUT, 1-2 || RUN BACK IN ||


    ----Wait in the pit for (40 seconds?) I don't recall the exact time, (I'll edit if I can remember) ----
