in from the cold is so stupid

The only thing I disliked about the trial was that you had 0 natural hp regen. Even npcs we took control in previous duties had natural hp regen. I was fine with everything else about it pre-nerf. I like the curve balls they throw us from time to time.

It can be that the body you control in this duty is already dead. And it is the first time that you control a garlean body. And Garleans cannot use magic. So maybe they have no natural HP regen and must use Magitec and/or potions.

As someone who got 4 characters through Endwalker, I have a tip that worked for me!

Using Waymarks to mark where the magitek reaper and fuel is helps a TON. If you find the fuel first (out of order for example), just mark with a waymarker. It'll even show up in your mini compass and actual map. This way you don't have to waste time trying to do all this backtracking. It'll be easier for you to carry the fuel to the reaper if you mark where the location is.

Hope this helps anyone getting other characters through Endwalker

I enjoyed it because while it was definitely a bit more difficult than your regular quests, it was meant to be. It was designed to show you how strong the WoL is and just why the Garleans fear him and the other Eorzeans due to their ability to manipulate aether which the Garleeans lack They have to rely on technology for all of that. It worked really well in that regard and created a sense of desperation.

Stupid how? We talking about the forced body swap thing? Cause that was a bit...not great. Though I do like how it shows just how alien we are to Garleans. They don't auto-heal, they can't use magic, and just to fight on equal terms with non-Garleans they need power armor.

i was surprised they even nerfed this duty. it felt trivial at normal difficulty, i can't imagine what people were doing that they couldn't beat it on easy or very easy

I really don't get the hate for this bit of the scenario. Its wonderfully fitting for the theme of Endwalker, overcoming dread and impossible odds.

Imho, if you struggled a bit with finding your way, and combat something you actively tried to avoid, then the mission did everything right. I kinda feel like that it what its supposed to do, make us uneasy and go out of our comfort zone. Its one of the better setpieces of the entire expansion if you ask me, because its not straightforward.

To use someone elses words:
Think, and find your way in the darkness.

I also think it was one of the best moments in EW. And you were supposed to rush and be frantic. Compared to a lot of rather shallow solo instances this one did everything right.

What was nerfed about it? And if that's true, why? Don't you get the 'very easy' option when you fail?

They nerfed the "Easy" and "Very Easy" options.

To more easily locate certain items required to progress in this duty, the amount of fuel-concealing wreckage in the area has been increased.

it was one of my favourite duties in ew, shows the world from someoe who isn't incredibly powerful and it was just overall fun

Juts fail it then pick Easy Mode.

There. Your problem is solved.

Personally, i really liked that Quest. That Power Balance is how i wish how the enviroment would be in the overworld of the Game, and even more so in Dungeons. The WoL has more than enough Plotarmor already, at least let the World remind him that in the end, he is JUST a Adventurer.
