Congratulation OP and Bigcat

Congrats! It's a long fight and easy to space out but I agree it's fairly easy especially if someone is calling out

[Dragon_Sanders]

Congratulations.

It is an easy fight, and I appreciate that there's nothing as mechanically complex as Fang and Claw.

I was a little disappointed with the difficulty at first (~1hr with my group of mostly first-timers) but it's also incredibly active. That ease means it's easy to find a group to help a friend clear, find a group to farm weapons or tokens, or sub for/find a sub for your group.

Any of that would have been pulling teeth in Nid Ex.

I also hear it has a snark feature.

No but really, they are not wrong. The general discussion on the main forum is the worst place to put an "I beat [insert content] thread". Now if it wanted to discuss the battle in some way it would be different. But imagine if everyone came on here to say I beat Garuda, or I beat Alex 8 Normal, it would get us nowhere and it would certainly clog the forum.

Grats I haven't cleared it yet, but soon!

Nidhogg I feel doesn't require much communication to beat. Sophia it is almost a must?

With markers, you can do Sophia Ex with absolutely no communication (assuming you know what the markers mean lol). The scales are very easy to track since a blue meteor basically trumps everything else every time...it's just a matter of positioning yourself properly.

Strangely in this fight, it actually feels like you just need one living party member that know what they are doing, and the rest just have to follow them around for mechanics.

P.S. Congrats on your win!

Agreed whole heartedly. There's a much nicer way to say it than be a condescending jerk bag. You, are a fine example of an explanation given with no snide remark so I tip my hat to you. =)

The lodestone has a blog feature.

Indeed. Everyone should just use their blog and not clutter up the forum with glamour requests and pissing contests about this and that and why Parry sucks and why such and such class should be buffed and why some races are small and some races are tall and why Tanks hit like wet noodles and why there needs to be unisex bunny outfits and why Viera should be a new race and why nonflyable mounts should fly and people making topics about their accomplishments and people belittling them for accomplishments and how the game has a flawed linear progressing stat system and...
