    Another Terrible Masked Carnival Fight. (BLU)

    Masked Carnivale #31 is another badly designed fight that involves a slow as molasses first round and a second round that's not only nigh impossible, but puts you right back at the beginning of the first round. This is the same garbage that #29 pulls and it took me over 200 tries to finish that one. Right now I'm up around 50 for #31 and I'm ready to throw my keyboard through a window.

    Whoever designed this terribad fight needs to learn what a checkpoint is and stop gating content behind these insanely, unfairly overtuned fights.

    Phase 2 is actually quite simple.

    1. Be out of his range when he casts fire 3 to dodge the follow up blizzard
    2.Heal through holy and flare
    3. Meteor phase is pretty easy dodge the bad, but finish it off with a DB in the middle
    4. Cleanse both dots
    5. Place the thunders inbetween each of the charaybdis, the stand between the last 2 which doesnt have a puddle to dodge the pyretic and blizz
    6. Repeat

    Well, judging by your lodestone page, and what you have equipped. Still using level 60 earring. 2 355 Ilvl pieces. No melds. VI materia is dirt cheap, and you can swap it freely, since it has 100% removal chance.
    Why do you even play BLU if you're not taking it seriously? What is it, that you want so badly, that is "gated behind unfairly overtuned fights"? Like, it's not Morbol, surely?

    I have cleared the fight i think in 5 pulls. There is LolSuprise! meteor and some other stuff, that will kill you, but it does not mean, that the fight is badly designed. I enjoyed it greatly, and once you understand all the mechanics in the second phase it shouldn't be too hard to get a clear. If everything else fails, Healer Mimicry goes a long way to help you learn the fight.

    It took me more time than I'd like to admit to realize that the dots can be cleansed....I was trying to heal to recover from the DoT damage, and use loom to dodge the thunder at first...
    That did not go well at all....haha
    When I figured out that they were cleansable, I got it on my second or third attempt.

    I love it when people who are terrible at the game out themselves like this in public.

    My only problem with the fight is those freaking twisters will mess up your vision if your camera angle is wrong. But Healer Mimicry is probably best if you're going for a safe strategy because of Pom Cure and Exuviation (the latter gains a buff when used by healer mimicry so you can heal and cleanse the debuffs).

    Visibility with twisters was my issue too, the height they are and the colour obscures the thunder. I did clear it though eventually.

    This fight is really just a matter of making silly mistakes that are entirely on you as the player. Clearing the fight is one thing, then you also clear fast and perfectly it for the ability to purchase Friar Rush. Naturally you will get ahead of your self. For the normal clear, take your time and be patient. Make sure you are keeping your MP up because the longer you drag out the fight the more it’s going to cost you. When you clear it and are ready to speed clear, just damage normally until Gogo is in a phase that you can full in blow everything on him with Moonflute.

    My heart actually almost skipped a beat when I got the achievement clear because after blowing all my skills and being pacified by Waning Nocturne at no more MP, Gogo was at .01 health. But part of my combo was Nightbloom and I realized the DoT tick would kill him. Sweet victory.

    Gear up, learn the dance, perfect it. Literally every piece of content is like this.

    I actually thought this fight was pretty straightforward. The 2nd phase is literally just proper placement of AoEs and not getting one-shotted by meteor.

    in Phase 1 when he's about to mimic, place or refresh a bristle'd song of torment on him and hit him with feather rain; he does not mimic the damage he takes from DoT's.
