    Having trouble dodging the spinning dives during Leviathan EX?

    I made these diagrams for my FC and would like to share them. Hopefully these will make it a bit easier to avoid them and to understand the pattern, since from my experiences not many people know the exact pattern for Leviathan's spinning dives.

    I've never seen it dive the far side horizontally from where its head/tail was.

    I'm not quite sure if I've seen that either, but generally that's the areas I point my camera at to indicate where I can dodge.

    As a range you can be diagonally opposite to the tail and face your camera to the corner where it is, Makes it alot easier to see the spouts.

    In addition to the diagrams, a few more tips I find personally helpful:
    • Stand at one of the two intersections shown in the diagrams. That way you can sidestep to dodge either horizontal or vertical dives regardless of where they are (left vertical, dodge to the right, right vertical, dodge to the left, top horizontal, dodge down, middle, dodge up).
    • Following the first point, zoom out all the way and face the rest of the boat (the side you're not on) from a corner. If you don't see the splash, that means he's coming from the corner you can't see (so move forward).
    • Following that point, turn your sound on. If you don't see him and you're still not sure, you'll definitely hear the splash coming from behind you.

    Honestly I think the fight is very easy once you can learn to position the camera correctly.

    Pretty much this. Most people don't know that there's only very specific directions he can come from based on his last positions, and will instead just flail around in the middle getting hit by everything.

    thanks you confirmed to me now that the diagram i have in my head is 100% true

    sadly got no one to draw it for me

    but you did

    would like to add some things too

    at 1st phase before spumes appear leviathan only dives vertically no way he will do it horizonally at 1st

    when spumes appear the 1st dives will be completely horizonally without any dive vertically

    the last dive when converter is up is always vertically too

    by 2nd phase as diagram show

    hope i helped
