Taking A Stand quest on Very Easy is impossible.

[jaxapollo]

I’m pulling my hair out over the “Taking A Stand” quest where you play as Wuk Lamat. No matter what I do, I keep dying, and the mechanics just don’t make any sense to me. I even tried dropping the difficulty to “Very Easy,” but it feels like a bad joke because it’s still ridiculously hard. Has anyone else had this issue? Any tips on how to survive this fight? I’m getting desperate here!

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Use the heal button on CD, and dodge stuff.

This is where the story ends, unfortunately.
Wuk Lamat was defeated. Bakool Jaja won the rite of succession.

Sorry to hear that, I have done that fight recently. Have you tried watching a guide maybe?

To repeat something I said in another thread on the same subject, it took me four attempts to pass this quest - two on Normal, one on Very Easy and then passed it on 'Easy'.
And I do wonder whether the 'Very Easy' option is bugged, as I found the 'Easy' option less problematic than 'Very Easy' personally.

According to your Lodestone profile, you've been playing since 2013.
You're level 100.

If you still don't know basic game mechanics after 100 levels and over 10 years of gameplay, maybe you just need to accept that this game isn't for you.

Also, as others have said in this thread and the larger one, Very Easy is bugged so select Easy instead if you insist on making the game adapt to your own shortcomings.

Greetings, i have tried it on all 3 settings, sent in tickets to the gm's, and no luck from them, and have tried the suggestions in here. no luck. so at this point im at a standstill till another expansion comes out, or if i keep sending in enough tickets it will get esclated and reviewed for a fix.

Last i heard there hadnt been an update to this quest. Are you able to identify a specific thing that is getting you?

I tried it 3x on Very Easy, but I only cleared it after watching a YT guide, so you're not alone.

I finally got through the instance thanks to some help from a commenter on a YouTube video!

Therefore, I wanted to post this here since it may help others as it did myself. Also, I'd like to say that advice like 'One key gives us heals, one does damage, and one does AoEs', again is NOT helpful. Most of us know that, but which one does what, and some buttons are more helpful than others as many will notice below in the explanation that a kind-hearted individual gave.

Anyways, onto what I hope will help people. First off, once again I'd like to say this is from a person on YouTube who was kind enough in the comments to explain the mechanics and how they worked best.

1. Before you even start, press the green button. it increases your max HP by 20% and restores it. Use this IMMEDIATELY and EVERY time it comes up, keep an eye out for it.
2. Spam only Tail of the Bra'ax, over and over again because this combo helps raises your HP. If you are too far away from him to do Tail of the Bra'ax, like running away to dodge an AOE, throw in some Beak of the Lautena, it does ranged damage.
3. When he raises his arms and has red flames around him, use Run of Rnoneek to jump him. It is the purple button with the three charges, also get behind him. Make sure to keep using Tail of the Bra'ax to get the combo and keep restoring HP.
4. When all the orbs start to light up, and you see a green one, run toward it, this little area will always be a safe Zone.
5, Dodge all the fire attacks by running around and using your AOE.
6. When he brings up the clones, he is the one with raised hands and on fire. Get behind him and keep spamming Tail of the Bra'ax.
7. Use your limit break EVERY time it comes up and do it IMMEDIATELY. Do this and spam spam spam Tail and use Laweteena pulse, your green button, EVERY time it's available. This is very important!
8. When the pillars come up out of the ground. Run to the one he created first, pay attention to the order they pop up, and run to the next two to decrease the damage taken.
9. When his thugs come in switch to the Turali Judgment instead of Tail. Just spam this over and over and over again. Make sure to use the heal button whenever it comes up.
10. After this is over, there is a timed event, and you will need to spam quickly the O button when it comes up.

Here's a blow by blow account of what happens during the fight generously compiled by a forumite, if that helps any OP. Also if you're willing and use discord, I'd be happy to sweet-talk my FC leader into playing spotter on a streamed playthrough of the duty?
Good luck!
