OK so I did this for the first time and sucked royally on the last boss any advice would be great. I'm a bard btw.

Here's what happened. I'd read the strategy and was going to do the crystals but the healer started grabbing them so not wanting to double up I left him to it.

All ok until about 25% hp left on the boss. Lots of adds came in so I started taking them down, worm sucked us in - healer must have missed a crystal and then boss roars and kills me. Healer resses immediately after res boss roars and kills me again as I don't have enough hp to survive. We end up wiping.

take 2 same thing but they managed to get him down with me dead I'm not sure what I could have done differently. If I'd gone for the crystals each time we'd have run out as the healer kept going for them and they were Japanese and I'm english so that made it harder.

Is it actually this hard or was I unlucky. And that roar the boss does is there any way to avoid it? I need to be alive at the end of this for my atma book I got this morning o_O

thank you for any replies
