    Alphascape v3

    Has to be one of the worst encounters ever for the casual to mid level player. It's fine until the Lar/Starboard part and then he flips and it is sometimes hard from certain angles to see where his pinhead is. Just a couple of seconds more to give ppl time to move would help. If I ever manage to complete this cf, it will be 1 x only hehe.

    You have plenty of time to get to the first Left or Right postion. To prepare for the second postion, take a second to move to his exact rear. He will always flip. If you move to his rear, his face will point right at you and youll have that extra second to run to the correct place. Good luck!

    Yeah I tried hanging out at his butt. I had 3x groups yesterday and we died 4x so they abandoned. Not looking good so far hehe. TY for info.

    That's awful. I just had a group, we wiped a few times but everyone stuck with it. The hardest thing I have is I run left out of instinct or whatever. And then there's the fact he follows up facing the opposite direction. So I'm like, she's doing the same attack, I'll stay here. Or oh it's the opposite attack, better move. This is just something that needs to be practiced.

    You can also sprint out of the bad area if you’re quick enough. I find this fight easier than Alphascape 2 which is horrible when the firebombs fall.

    I think the issue is more that people are waiting for the ground indicator before they start moving. You need to move when the cast bar shows up. By the time the indicator shows up it's pretty much already too late.
