This is false, Golems are a distraction only. The fight is quite simple. Don't have anyone stand on the stairs, as that seems to trigger his 9999 damage beak move. During second stage while meteors fall, place a BLM on each middle-tier pad. We also split a WHM and BRD between the two pads as well. Can ignore the Golems (hint: they also can be slept) and send your meelee DPS up top where you'll fight a shielded Darnus. As long as no meteors hit the ground (i.e., your BLM/BRDs didn't screw up), Mega Flare will hit for less than 2k. Darnus will port to the ground, which is where we ran to finish off the last 5%. We think it might be easier to just stay at the top, and let him run back up the stairs, which he'll likely do as he still has hate on the tank.

The only trick to this fight, is to kill the meteors, which is reminiscent of killing Nails/protecting rocks for Ifrit/Garuda.
