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

How is this guy going to get trough the fight after the last trial?

Stop your condescension. The last trial is properly designed because it gives you 16 lives. The dungeon hits so hard you make one mistake or two and you have to restart from the start. I'm not here to play Dark Souls.

I play on Low settings so I can't see them.

...so low that the texture turns into a single color? They are visible even on low.

Nope. There is no visual indicator for the beam attack in the last boss for instance. It just randomly beams half the circle. You have to memorize which one it's going to do first (it's Left first, then Right, then Left).

Its glowing wing shows the side it attacks...

Personally I like it, the sense of danger and possibility of death are always nice touches, especially given what this expansion was/is built up to be. Plus, it's just a nice touch, I think all the encounters/bosses this expansion at story level are perfect for their level.

I play on the lowest settings possible on a crappy laptop and... I didn't have a problem? The visual indicators are very obvious, especially the aoes do give you enough space to find the safe spot. Standing in between the lasers is their safe spot too, and you only have to move a little bit so you don't get clipped by an aoe. And literally for the last boss the things to avoid are super obvious. I don't know what to tell you. At level 90 I would probably expect this difficulty, which isn't particularly difficult or unforgiving by any means, but it is a step up from previous dungeons so you can't just face roll during bosses.

The last boss is especially obvious with indicators too. So... I have no idea what the OP is talking about.

what was difficult about it? xD

Running it with a healer who know to use Esuna.

Running it with a healer who know to use Esuna.

Thats a healer problem, not a dungeon problem.

Practice makes perfect! You'll get the hang of it eventually. There's plenty of Youtube guides online that tells you what specifically to look out for in order to understand the fight better. You know, when I first played The Ridorana Lighthouse I was ATROCIOUS at it, you would not believe how many times I died on each boss. But now? I can go through it all and not die once. Honestly, you'll improve. Just keep trying.

Dear lawd forbid people have to use their brains every once in a while in games.

what was difficult about it? xD

I can understand dying to the first boss the first time if you're not paying attention to the winds.
But so what?
You wipe and then you turn your brain from off to on and you learn.

People gotta stop being so scared of wipes and failure...

The second boss was hard yeah, and the third boss has golden indicators on a golden floor, but honestly? It’s all p survivable and I think it’s important to learn these mechanics at some point.
