The Royal Menagerie

[TeddyXIV]

I love EVERYTHING about this fight. It test everything I have learned, and I stood up and cheered so hard after we won.

Thank you. Please don't change it. Please keep it this way! We as a community will learn, help each other, and we'll be out geared in no time.

Thank you for a wonderful story in Stormblood!

This was super fun and I had a great, patient party! It's going to be sad when people start rage quitting on the first wipe because they cleared it once and are now professionals. Took two tries / two parties last night but everyone remained in good spirits both times.

A wipe on P2 should put you at the start of P2. There's no reason to make you redo P1. It's boring and easy and just makes death feel more insulting than it should. I've ran it a few times helping friends and even then I nearly rage quit because of having to sit through P1.

I'd argue an exception in a 24 man (Is there any other fight in the whole game that starts on P2?) is different than the overwhelming majority, especially in a basic story fight. The point still stands that most fights are a start to finish scenario.

They probably added it to the 24 man to help with the number of chimps that just AFK in the sea of bodies in conjunction with Diabolos practically serving as 2 seperate fights than take longer than the other bosses each.

You forgot about Greg.

You're lucky.

I did not complete this place until after my 34th wipe attempted due to being in DF group. This is certainly a fight that is not easily cleared with random people with ilvl 280 to ilvl 290 gear but most likely will be easier with ilvl 310 and higher later.

It took 4 wipes with the same party for me, only replacing one tank twice. Usually the ilevel of gear doesn't make as big of a difference as skill does until there's a really large gap. So think ilevel 330 since the minimum is 270.

I don't want this fight to get nerfed, it's plenty fun.

You have Ascian Prime at the end of the Aetherochemical Research Facility dungeon who it a two part boss.

Considering almost all of the dungeons and trials beforehand were a huge face roll and then this being a huge difficulty spike it would have been nice considering you have to go into party finder unless you have an active Free company on willing to dedicate to playing with you. If Square wanted to give a hard fight like this they should have made the other story line content leading up to it harder to ease players into it rather than dumping them into a difficulty spike that they are unprepared for, ESPECIALLY when you can pay for level 60 and PAY to get through heavensward story content now like a joke. Leave the hard stuff for the extreme fights where the casual players can opt out of fights like these I have had to abandon this fight ten times already because pick up groups do not know that the tanks need to stack up on certain things, and some people will walk right off the edges.
