two things...

[Okhad]

two questions :

why dont u play garuda yourself and see ?
why dont u go to gamerescape and check on gear ?

If you wait until level 45 to do Garuda, you will have your Artifact armor from your job quest. It's a massive upgrade to ordinary level 44-45 gear. It will help a lot.

Actually, I could go up another level anyway, even though I have challenge or hunting log entries to get out the way (now on mrd hunting log list 5), as well as level appropiate fate grinding in Coerthas or Outer La Noscea. Other than that, I could unlock the final Levequests at Lv45.

The best tip I got when I was struggling with Titan HM was from someone who suggested that I change my camera to legacy mode for the fight. Playing on pc, for some reason I've found that the follow camera makes it appear that I'm out of the landslide when I'm not actually, so I'd take damage when I thought I was safe. So for me, the legacy camera mode helps a ton in Titan HM, plus helps me keep much better track of the boulders and where they fall. Since then, I've found this can help on several fights for me, including the first boss in WoD, so will switch to it as needed.

I don't usually switch to legacy camera mode on regular Titan, but the suggestion might help some others, like it has me.

Got that out the way, as well as opening up the leves for the last 5 levels in Mor Dhona, plus splashing out on a Lv45 axe. However, the chest piece and the waistbelt item are both Lv41. Should be just about ready to face Garuda.

Finally, after struggling, the fc came to help and now on the way to Lv50 any way I can, currently rescuing Minfilia and the other characters.

If you can, run the last 2 missions with friends / FC, so you can enjoy the cutscenes ^^
