Let us sneak past Drowsie

[Minali]

Hi,

what the title says.

The big cutie that happens to be the 2nd dungeon boss of the Lvl 91 dungeon didn't do anything wrong. They were just at the wrong place at the right time - or not even that, considering they were sleeping in their own home and we're four random people breaking and entering...

It is possible to slowwalk past it and avoid waking it, so why can't we just... keep walking? Let us lift the arena barrier if e.g. all 4 participants are slowwalking towards it and the boss hasn't been awakened yet. I'm fine with not getting as much loot that way or so, after all, we didn't put in the work for a reward. (And no, it is not possible that way atm, I just checked it with friends, and with the Trust for good measure. Some emotes aimed at the boss also wake them up and start the fight, so there doesn't seem to be a Variant Dungeon "emote five times at a statue" kind of thing in there either. Although I haven't tried out all emotes, to be fair.)

I know everything in this game is just a bunch of soulless pixels on my screen and all, yadda yadda, but they are cute pixels and considering half the dungeon bosses in this game seem to be adorable creatures defending their homes, I'd be happy if there would be one less I'd have to kill. Call me a softie if you want. :P And people who don't give a damn can still start the fight and play the dungeon regularly, hence why the trigger should be all 4 walking into the barrier. Nobody who doesn't want this would be affected by this.

Please, have a heart, let FFXIV Snorlax sleep in peace.

Sparing Drowsie seems like it would be against the Warrior of Light's M.O., which is to trek through the habitats of wild animals and then slay them when they try to defend their homes.

Blood for the blood god!

Well, you kinda need to do 3 encounters to pass the dungeon, so an alternate "Save Drowsie" encounter would need to be made

Wildlife conservation certainly does not seem high on our WoL’s list of priorities, especially if said wildlife is sleeping on a shiny.

Sounds like a nice idea for a variant version of this dungeon though!

Oh true, that would be interesting for a variant dungeon. Figure out what triggers what enemy and sneaking past all of them with the right method unlocks the special path or so. ^^
