Expect more Crystal Tower in Roulette soon...

I was warned about the Curtain Call in Syrcus, and standing in A blue bubble for the boss.
I didn’t pick up on much for mechanics going on in Darkness, but someone was using Waymarkers so I did see where to go in the split fight and where to stand during Cloud.
Actually I remember Cerberus one shotting some people, but I didn’t pick up on what was triggering that.

Yeah, if you stand in the ooze on the ground cerberus eats you. At full size, that basically means he rips you in half. But theres a thing on the battlefield shrinking people. So you get shrunk, then you get eaten, then you give him a tummy ache(from the inside). This stuns him long enough so someone can put his chains back on. If no one goes into the stomach(or not enough people and they die), his buff stack keeps growing until he's one shoting everyone. If no one re-chains him, his buff stack goes to the max when he wakes back up and he starts one shoting everyone. The most common strategy ive seen is ABC. Group A takes care of the Adds, B does the Belly, and C takes the Chains. When the fight was new, the chain people would try to attach at the last second(hes stunned for awhile from the tummy ache, chaining wakes him back up but without his buffs) so the alliance could get more DPS out. These days, thats generally a bad idea - if you dont chain him in time he goes berserk and the lost DPS from chaining him a few seconds early doesnt matter all that much.

Note that it's likely to vary on a data centre or possibly country level. The usual rule on my data centre (Elemental) is that Group A goes inside. The Group B tank is always the main tank for the raid so they need to stay out and keep doing that.

Unless there's a mechanic I'm unaware of, I'm not sure why you'd need to designate a whole party to do chains though - it only takes two people.

Also wondering if there's a reason to re-chain Cerberus ASAP rather than waiting until the cast bar for Awakening is nearly full. It seems a lot easier if he's down for longer but hardly anyone waits.
