"Taking a stand" quest

[Frizze]

Its done and now I can move on with the story. I like playing BLM as well and my Favorite is machinist

Congrats. In an effort to see if we cant help some other people, im curious if you could tell us what made the difference. Was it a change in strategy? A better understanding of what the fight wanted you to do? Figuring out a specific mechanic that was stopping you?

They aren't going to reply. No one ever does.

Still nice to see them actually learn instead of gate keeping themselves from basic reading comprehension skills, basic observation skills.

At first, I would hit him then run around circle all the time. Then I just face him a lot of the time clicking button 1 and heal whenever it came up and the energy seemed to last.

Now I am up to Vanguard Dungeon and have to study boss number 2.

Yeah this quest is an absolute train wreck. I'm tired of them doing these solo duty quests, It's an MMO! Pick a lane!

I finally got through the instance thanks to some help from a commenter on a YouTube video!

Therefore, I wanted to post this here since it may help others as it did myself. Also, I'd like to say that advice like 'One key gives us heals, one does damage, and one does AoEs', again is NOT helpful. Most of us know that, but which one does what, and some buttons are more helpful than others as many will notice below in the explanation that a kind-hearted individual gave.

Anyways, onto what I hope will help people. First off, once again I'd like to say this is from a person on YouTube who was kind enough in the comments to explain the mechanics and how they worked best.

1. Before you even start, press the green button. it increases your max HP by 20% and restores it. Use this IMMEDIATELY and EVERY time it comes up, keep an eye out for it.
2. Spam only Tail of the Bra'ax, over and over again because this combo helps raises your HP. If you are too far away from him to do Tail of the Bra'ax, like running away to dodge an AOE, throw in some Beak of the Lautena, it does ranged damage.
3. When he raises his arms and has red flames around him, use Run of Rnoneek to jump him. It is the purple button with the three charges, also get behind him. Make sure to keep using Tail of the Bra'ax to get the combo and keep restoring HP.
4. When all the orbs start to light up, and you see a green one, run toward it, this little area will always be a safe Zone.
5, Dodge all the fire attacks by running around and using your AOE.
6. When he brings up the clones, he is the one with raised hands and on fire. Get behind him and keep spamming Tail of the Bra'ax.
7. Use your limit break EVERY time it comes up and do it IMMEDIATELY. Do this and spam spam spam Tail and use Laweteena pulse, your green button, EVERY time it's available. This is very important!
8. When the pillars come up out of the ground. Run to the one he created first, pay attention to the order they pop up, and run to the next two to decrease the damage taken.
9. When his thugs come in switch to the Turali Judgment instead of Tail. Just spam this over and over and over again. Make sure to use the heal button whenever it comes up.
10. After this is over, there is a timed event, and you will need to spam quickly the O button when it comes up.

Of course I got mollywhopped on Normal. And after about two hours of getting destroyed on Very Easy using this method not even getting the guy to half-health, I just put on Easy for the heck of it and cleared it the first go! I didn't even get down to 25% health and was at the chain stage before I even knew it!

That has got to be some kind of bug.

You'd think on the "official forums" we might get some response from SQEX on this and similar topics.

Is this supposed to be helpful or do you just enjoy being obnoxious?

Do you enjoy comming onto the forum and begging the developers to make the game easier punishing us players who used common sense to get through the game or do you like telling ppl to stay bad at the game or maybe both.
