    Has anyone failed Bardem's Trial...ever?

    You know, the lame 'boss fight' in which you have to not get hit in any of the three trials? I have been in a party in which everyone failed one trial but me...but only one failed the other two trials. Making me believe...is this even possible to fail?

    If so. How? If all four fail one trial, do you fail all three and die? Or can you fail two and succeed on the third? The even more important question: What was the point of this 'boss fight?' I mean holy crap SE...at least make it hard...or make it if one fails...all fail..and start over. I am seriously tempted to just go afk during all this and make a cup of coffee or something....I would, if I wouldn't get the glare of death from people; and I know people actually do this..cause I've been in parties with people that do..they just afk and wait until it's done. I mean..I can't blame them...it's literally a waste of time.

    Anyway...back to my point...has anyone actually ever failed this...ever?

    Yes I failed it twice.

    First Time at the towers, because not all three were occupied.

    Second time on purpose, because one player did nothing (just stand there and eating mechanics) and we decided after noticing it, to do the same ^^

    If all Players fail, the party wipe.

    I liked this trial. It just needs to come way earlier tha. Lv65. On topic, I failed the meteor mechanic because I thought I was supposed to catch it.

    Se Tried something different. A boss with no rotations. Just awareness. It took them until 4.0 to finally branch out from: boss takes damage. Boss does mechanic. Kill boss.

    I actually really like that boss. It's different and it teaches much needed battle awareness. It should be more punishing though.

    I thought it was wonderful and that is actually one of my favorite of the new dungeons because of it.

    I was overjoyed to see SE try something new and make us play a tactics game instead of just mashing 1-2-3 and would LOVE to see more of this sort of thing in the future! Even an extreme fight where there is no actual dps but just a series of non-combative trials would be absolutely amazing imo.

I just wish they would do something new, and not make it just another joke boss fight you can afk through after avoiding a few yellow spots on the ground. I mean, at the end of the day, different as this boss mechanic is, it's still the same damn thing - something you have to tray really hard at in order to actual fail, and no difficulty at all. I mean..I get it..it's a normal dungeon, it's not meant to be savage. But that doesn't mean it has to be a friggen walk in the park either.
