    The Dead Ends is yet another error in the push to make everything hardcore

    For players who just want to do the story, there should not be mechanics that you only see in Extreme or Savage. What is Square Enix thinking putting all these ridiculously difficult mechanics in a dungeon boss like Exaflares or the second boss's ridiculous amount of AoEs? The issue is there is no obvious tells for what the solution to the mechanics are and they are totally new so unless you look up a MrHappy or MTQ guide there's no way to know how those mechanics work. After so many people complained about Mist Dragon and The Heroes' Gauntlet how come Square Enix still insists on making dungeons harder and harder? Please stop lol

    1. It's the last dungeon in the MSQ. It should be more difficult than the rest.

    2. The hardest part about the dungeon was the mob pulls between bosses.

    3. Literally every mechanic in all three bosses was visual AOE indicators. You would have to be visually impaired to have any problem with them. Apologies if you are visually impaired.

    4. No boss in The Dead Ends uses an Exaflare.

    Uh no. I've wiped three times to the second boss because there are way too many AoEs that are too hard to see because they overlap each other. Also, the laser beams don't have any visual AoE indicator until it's too late, so you have to guess where to stand. The worst part is that Alphinaud can't heal you because he is too slow. I'm glad that you thought it was easy but not everyone is a hardcore elite gamer so chill with your personal attacks.

    Do it with Trusts, follow them, you can not go wrong.

    Amazing bait post, btw.

    While I know this is a troll topic, if there's no way to know how those mechanics work, how would there be guides for them in the first place?

    Chill with your personal attacks. You do realize there are spread mechanics so you can't just follow the trusts?

    The only trolls are the people who are saying there are visual indicators for everything. No there isn't. The people who made the guides probably used DBM so they know where to stand.

    Look at the floor, there are actual lines on the textures that mark the safe zones between the lasers.

    But, there are visual indicators for everything, not everything has that big red circle that you have been trained to avoid, but everything has a visual indicator nonetheless.

    Good luck in the last trial BTW.
