Garuda's Difficulty

[Vanguard319]

I'm wondering if anyone has beaten Garuda since they fixed the manaburn exploit, because it seems like she is unbeatable now. If someone has done so, would they be kind enough to explain how they did it? If not, are there any plans on the devs part for additional adjustments?

Unlike moogle and ifrit which if some members suck you can still manage to beat, Garuda requires 8 members with skill and gear that KNOW how to play. That's why most can't beat it and that's why no one do pick up groups. It's a waste of time.

Yes it can be beat. Seems that it can't because all good clans got it with blm burn before or keep getting it now clan only.

Garuda is a memory fight... she does X you move to position A, B, C, D.

There's a huge guide somewhere on the forums to everything she does.

Yes its beatable and its not too terribly difficult.

Garuda can definitely be taken down. Noir summed it up nicely.

I have been in some very skilled parties, and still have yet to get a win, So I doubt it has anything to do with a party's skill, and the reason no one does groups is because most manaburned thier way to all the weapons.

and if Garuda can be beaten, what working strategy did you use?

Why trying to beat her if you already got all your weapons from manaburn?
It was a mistake on SE's part to legalize that bug, as it effectively killed the content.

What they should have done is not punish those who used that way before the bug was confirmed (which weren't that many), but once it was, they should have stated abusing it is against the ToS and acted accordingly. Then the majority of the population would still be making Garuda runs.

The majority of the community hasn't even had a chance to touch Garuda. The majority of the population isn't doing Garuda because the majority of the population CAN'T do Garuda. They don't have melds, they don't have Darklight, and they don't have the weapons.

This community, man. Ask for a difficult fight, get it, don't do it.

Nobody shouts for Garuda ever, nor does anyone care to do Garuda. It's pretty annoying. I guess I'll be getting Garuda down whenever I start my Relic quest.

Like this.

Well, granted, we got it to 1% because I messed up, but we went back after I got a new stack of arrows and beat it.
