Taming the Tempest (Hard)

[Kumaeru]

So after going really hard trying for the server first for the first couple days on Garuda we've been getting a lot of insight of other ways to do this fight.


The "push it to the limit" version that we came up with was to attempt an all out blackmage burn on Garuda to kill it before it's astral flow. Suffice to say it is pretty possible. Took some coordination and a bit of practice and testing out accuracy limits and such.

Blackmage really shines in this fight, and definitely possible to do this fight without melee jobs which almost counteracts what S-E intended this fight to do with the Suprana and Chirada adds. To be able to do Garuda in around 4min and to fully avoid Astral Flow.
