    We love Leviathan!

    I just wanted to say I love the Leviathan fight it is a lot of fun, wish we had more trials like this one in the future. Only sticker is the sound requirement for the game; I do sympathize with the deaf and heard of hearing gamers.

    That aside, Great work!

    I agree wholeheartedly. The fight is a visual feast, paired with the music and the mechanics, it's fantastic!

    Levi is awesome and I had tons of fun on his fight. The music is awesome as well.
    And to the ones that watched the event this weekend the FATE in tokyo may have seen the female version of Levi's theme, it is pretty awesome as well wanted that in the game ;-;

    I'm also in love with the Levi battle, is so fun, is even fun when you have un-godly good DPS and the battle skips phases, makes it more challenging. And it was a bonus that on my first kill, I got the sword and shield for my pally. :P

    Slight offtopic, but I have a hearing impaired friend that is learning leviathan right now. I've actually been turning my sound off during the fight lately to better understand how they experience it. This way I can try to see if I can give them some tips

    I must say that the fight is gorgeous. They did such an amazing job with the visuals!

    There's like a chart floating around that tells you patterns of his dives, that could help, that or to just make the rotating camera more sensitive for easy turning.

    Quick and dirty:

    Imagine your boat is like this

    S S
    S S
    S S

    D = Danger, S = Safe, x = splash location

    Vertical dives do this:

    x
    D S
    D S
    D S

    or reversed.

    Horizontal dives do this

    x D D
    S S
    S S

    Levi can always do either vertical dive. However, he may only do two out of three horizontal rows at once - only the two closest to him. After he does one dive, he will do a second one from the other end of the boat, following this rule (so if he starts top, he can do either Vertical(left), Vertical(right), Horizontal(top) or Horizontal(middle). After this dive, he can do either Vertical(left), Vertical(right), Horizontal(bottom) or Horizontal(middle)).

    For slams, use a combination of these tactics;

    1) watch other people - if you are the only one moving in a certain direction (or staying where you are), it may be wise to move!
    2) You know it's going to be after two dives (after one around yellow spumes), so if you don't see a splash after a second or so, run towards where you're facing.
    3) Sound cues, but this is obviously a problem for the hearing-impaired.

    If you have "look behind you" keybound, you can use that while running to confirm whether it's behind you or not too.

    It is a really well done fight. The only thing that sucks is you can be too good at it and force an auto wipe from pushing phases too fast.

    I have an issue with the cheap dev tactics of using Add's in a Primal fight (not talking Splumes but Sahagin) rather than primal abilities & attacks.... Just ruins the feeling of a Primal fight.
    Also the cheap tactics of "falling off".

    Other than that i like the fight as well & soon to be added to DF which a bonus
