AGLAIA RAID GUIDE (FFXIV 6.1)

[@cephrene]

MTQ: explains it with clarity Me: I understand. Me doing the raid: I no longer understand.

[@danvarx]

I have to watch it several times, even then. will blank during raid.

[@cephrene]

@@danvarx 10/10 same will also blank.

[@austins.2495]

@telegramofficial_spoonkid2has this scam actually ever worked out for you?

[@supersonicgamerguru]

She actually missed a big part of the mechanics of naldthal where he flips late into the cast. If you're just watching his big tassels it's easy to tell if he's flipping.

[@Wr41thgu4rd]

That is because they miss mechanics every video

[@vryday]

Kinda crazy to still watch your guides after almost 10 years. Just wanted to thank you for all your work, no matter how much I play or return after a break, your guides are always easy to understand and helpful.

[@CeilingNinja]

One point - for the red/blue phases of Nald'thal, the color of the arena can change mid-cast, so be aware of that possibility.

[@LordoftheDice]

Hell of Fire can also change direction in the middle of it's cast. If the boss' torso starts to spin to change which 'face' is showing, you can be sure the attack will go off in the opposite direction from where it was before. The lasers will also start to move as the torso spins.

[@kaileenabonaduce227]

And the tankbuster can be random between Stygian and Golden Tenet.

[@kurojester4513]

Ah. That confused me so much when I kept getting caught in it. Thnaks for that!

[@jhines5713]

I've been playing for 7 years now, and for 7 years I've used your guides each time I hop back in after a break. Thanks so much for the continued content and clear directions

[@Ellyll8T]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you including the parts where everyone goes flying off the edge! Normally, when I first do these, I feel like a complete fool, the worst player ever, and wallow in shame for my various unholy demises. This reminds me that it's normal! I also really like watching these after I've done it a few times, because it's easier to see, oh that's what I missed. (like the wall color - I didn't see the wall color at *all.*

[@SpydersByte]

by "wall color" do you mean the lanterns and space around the last boss arena? Cuz if so I completely missed that one too, I was too concentrated on the color of the boss and the lanterns floating around him cuz I figured that was the tell :D

[@Furlockthe666th]

Had my first run of this today, and after watching your guide, I did SO much better than I thought I would. Went in with big-time pre-content jitters, and... never got nervous at all once we started. I can't believe how helpful this was. Thank you so much!

[@hannahwest4352]

I’m about to do it tonight and I’m so nervous!!

[@BlazeBuds]

I did better with this raid first run than any other in the past, I died twice first go, which as a melee is good for me. usually about 6 times

[@PaulaLaing-s6b]

I don't normally comment, but just wanted to shout out. Long time watcher of your guides, since nearly vanilla, and wanted to say I love and trust your no nonsense no filler straight to the friendly and understandable point of the matter way you do your videos. Keep up the excellent work.

[@icedragon4008]

It's funny how many people miss that during "Far above, deep below" only one of the 2 mechanics activates but most of the time people stack or run away even if the don't need to.

[@bipedalanimeskull]

mizzteq missed that during this guide as well if Nald'Thal is casting As Above So Below, the next attack will only be either Blue or Orange I think more and more a catching up to it though but it's still funny to see a Blue Marked player knowingly stacking up for Line and everyone just run away in panic lol

[@0Fyrebrand0]

Oh wow, I should have looked for a comment like this sooner! I just saw on Mr. Happy's guide he clarifies how this mechanic works. I was so confused when this phase comes up, and sometimes the blue circles don't go off. I thought maybe the mechanic gets cancelled out if you get the boss' HP down to a certain threshold or something weird like that. Should have clued in from the usual gold-and-blue aesthetic that it would be tied to the background colour like other attacks. I'm surprised, I think this might be the first time Mizzteq ever steered me wrong! Well, not necessarily "wrong," but just missing some key context about the mechanic I suppose. You could still act as if all the AoEs are real and it would be fine, just not needed.

[@gelnn87]

Remember to lower the battle visual graphics, Character Config > Control Settings > Character > Battle Effect Settings Can't see a bloody damn thing on my first blind run. My eye tears up from looking at all the explosive magic flashes...

[@zehnscientist]

TY FOR THIS REMINDER, TRUE FAM 👑

[@thovarisk8699]

man this guides are SO SO handy and even necesary when jumping in for the first time. Thank you Miss!

[@claymashun5637]

Finally, a guide I trust. I've been using your guides since ARR!

[@kennedyyu6787]

One fool-proof strat I use for the hammer phase is always stand in the middle on the first hammer and the blue aoe always gets moved so if you can identify a safe platform where the blue air starts then it will always be safe when the mechanic resolves

[@Zaque-TV]

You are an absolute legend for the community. Thanks for your hard work and time put into these. ❤

[@ShardOfTheSol]

Thank you so much for this! Nald'Thal gave me the most trouble, but you explained it great and now I understand his fight better.

[@KahlevN]

She missed several mechanics in the Nald fight, so it's no surprise that gave you the most trouble.

[@anannoyedpanda]

@@KahlevN Man you just love criticizing her don't you?

[@KahlevN]

@@anannoyedpanda Nah, been a huge fan of her for years, but I dunno if she was just rushing to get it out ahead of other content creators or what, but she missed a lot of pretty important mechanics this time, so it's worth pointing out.

[@amberbradburry869]

I am so happy you made a guide. Your guides have always been the easiest for me to follow when doing a new raid. It didn't finally click that Azeyma's fans are what I have to look out for during "Solar Fans" until watching your video. You make things so simple and easy to follow. I no longer feel like the worst player ever when doing this raid

[@Onora619]

Thank you for creating this guide. Way more comprehensive than some of the others.

[@kou7191]

I love how this raid consistently reminds the 2 offtanks that they're still tanks and not blue dps. More mechanics like these are welcome imo.

[@berniemargolis4288]

4:02 - Am I the only one who has trouble seeing which portal he's tethered to? That's the problem with this game's mechanics. Even if I know them, I can't even see them half the time.

[@noneofyourbiz39]

I thought that was just me...

[@killyourtelevision999]

She is often unclear. 3:43 - 4:02 Miss_Take's verbose chattering here can be summarized with "stand opposite of the red tether."

[@whatever91247]

At the start I was thinking 'oh hey this looks easy'. 5:20 hits and frik. Now I'm expecting a death or two lol. Ty for the videos, always the most helpful, and I always recommend 'em in the Zaleria NN

[@TheStadtpark]

Thanks for always helping me through these!

[@bakko20]

When looking for a guide, youtube search always gives me a lot of choice. I instinctively look for yours.

[@noneofyourbiz39]

It's always on top if she did one. If I don't see hers...goddammit!

[@ardentdfender4116]

So much mechanics, i don't even remember what the first set of mechanics were. But at least having watched the video i at least know something about the mechanics before the raid. Even if i don't exactly remember them all the mechanics, seeing them in raid will help to understand somewhat vs just being clueless. I find i have to rewatch these videos a bit of stop and rewind to half decent understand the mechanics at play. But thanks to all you healers who mop me up from off the floor. You all do a great job!!!

[@pyrune1]

After getting stomped last week doing this the first time I didn't want to get bullied again so here I am. Thanks for the guide!

[@LunaNx]

I've never noticed the wall change part till now lol you mention it. I learned some thing new. :)

[@pamcunningham9608]

I love your videos Mizz, they are truly helpful, thank you! This is a quibble, but when people make these videos and say "They have a number on them", this is inaccurate. When I first watched this video and heard that the lions have numbers over them, I was looking for a numeral, didn't see them, and got confused. What they have is an amount of markers that, when counted, equal the number which indicates the order. The same for NaldThal's pillars. In short: Don't look for a number, count the markers, those equal the number to indicate the order of activity.

[@HayTatsuko]

You _know_ it's gonna be a hard bloody slog when Myzzteq takes 13 minutes to explain the mechanics. FML, I'm gonna die SO HARD in this. Or save the party's bacon if I don't faceplant, because RDM.

[@ShadowProject01]

Always my go to for raids my lady. Keep knocking ‘em out of the park as you always do❤️

[@wadew.9986]

I can't avoid the meteors in the Nald'thal fight, I just can't it's physically impossible for me lmao then you got a tank with 6 vulnerability stacks

[@ChamberK-1]

“Wayward Soul” AKA “Thal’s Balls”

[@markedred]

Was just gonna say. Those are not "orbs", they're "balls". 😁 And yes, the devs totally knew what they were doing.

[@galaxycat8991]

you are my blessing after screaming doing this blind

[@hamptonwooster]

the guide we've been waiting for

[@rodmcmanus3339]

Another quality guide, tyvm. Nice to hear the "...or you will die" phrase. I look forward to hearing that as much as the puns at the start of your guides 😍😂

[@EternaltheGrey]

Byregot: "Watch out for every mechanic, including gravity" while half the raid goes tumbling to its doom

[@Doozclops]

Sometimes the Solar Fans rotate 5 times, and sometimes only 4. I had hoped to see if there was any significance to it being different, but I guess it will always be a mystery to me.

[@petersmith2255]

I will never not laugh at your horrible puns at the beginning but this time it really got me XD

[@283leis]

oh so thats how Nald'Thal's mechanics work

[@RaionOwO]

Doesn't Azemya's Solar Fans' line attacks go to the left and right of her, not forward and behind her? (7:29)

[@John75ify]

Something you didn't mention about the balancing of the scales: From my experience (and the footage you play provides further verification of this), every alliance simply needs to go to the other side of the add that you were tethered to and it will balance perfectly. I believe there is also some leeway if you have a few players on the wrong side. In your case, every add spawned on the dark side, so everyone would have to go to light side, as you did. The tricky bit is when there are deaths before the tethers appear so it may not be a perfect balance in that case and you need to do it in real time. Otherwise there would be no point to the tethers since nothing special seems to happen due to them.

[@SapphireDragon357]

They did mention that the soul corpses are weighted as well, so it might matter less where they spawned and more where they died.

[@John75ify]

@@SapphireDragon357 They don't move, so those two positions are the same.

[@John75ify]

I think...

[@SapphireDragon357]

**shrug** Idk for sure, but no matter what class the person they copy, they pull out a sword, so I assume they just generally get tanked in position, but they seem like they would move as melee.

[@John75ify]

@@SapphireDragon357 Either way, the point still stands I think; you have to go to the opposite side of wherever the add ends up (either where it dies, or where it spawns if it doesn't move) to balance out its weight exactly

[@0Fyrebrand0]

10:12 I am so confused about this "Far Above, Deep Below" mechanic! 90% of the time, players with blue circles just seem to come and stack with the rest of the group anyway, with zero consequences. The AoEs don't even happen. But if they run away and take the blue circles elsewhere, then the AoEs trigger and probably end up killing some people. What is going on!? Is the group doing so much damage that it bypasses a phase and skips the mechanic? Is it a bug?

[@BlazeBuds]

okay so was right yesterday! Someone typed my name after the balance part of the last boss, but I didn't die and we only lost like a quarter of our health. Was confused why I got called out

[@SpydersByte]

4:48 Hand of de destroyer! :'D

[@ElPetoChan]

Yesss, thanks a lot !!!

[@lv.99mastermind45]

1:56 lol at all those players trying to dodge the AOE in the corner

[@HikingFeral]

Omg I panicked on the scale mechanic so many times as I had no idea what to do, I was just running around like an idiot, would have been better to just pick a side and let others react. duuuurhh.

[@omnipotentgaming166]

out of these 12 minutes of mechanics i remember 3, they're all tank busters and i don't play tank, here i go, wish me luck

[@GremDisaster]

Thanks for this!

[@LightFVs]

With Rhalgr at 4:42 it says 'if this portal is tethered' but then maybe I'm dumb and missed what to do if it's not tethered? Or is it always tethered?

[@rednova2212]

11:04 THAL'S BALLS!!!

[@rashido_grey]

I'm getting exhausted with how many times things just hit you with vulnerability stacks for misstepping.

[@ramasama]

Thanks!

[@KahlevN]

Really hope you can put out a new one with the missing components of the Nald/Thal fight. Namely that all the Orange/Blue phases except the first few, as well as the later Hell of Fire's, can all be flipped part way through, so you have to float near the middle for all of them and anticipate a possible switch. Also that the weights of the 3 adds in the scales phase is not always 3, but instead is dependent on what race the adds are. 3 is the max, but if they are cloned as Lala's or Miqote etc. then they will weigh less, and more players will have to adjust. Everything else seemed on point, but the mechanics mentioned above are pretty dangerous if not done accurately, so I hope we see an updated vid at some point.

[@joshk6929]

I still do not get the mechanic of Naldthal's soul scale. Can anyone explain?

[@CulltureShock]

at 9:26, 9:43, 9:47 & 10:43 the mentioning of "Background or lanturn" makes me think that they can be different colors from each other. Gets me a little confused

[@zen_7748]

During Azeyma's Wildfire Ward knockback mechanic, will popping Arm's Length/Surecast negate the need to reposition in a pinch to avoid getting damaged?

[@dustinhatfield8373]

Ive found that the easiest way to do this is if you wait until the first knockback pops off and then use AL/SC for the second and third knockbacks

[@helmimew]

I wonder did you guys recover from what has happened on 9:11 lol

[@neinlives9424]

We should get to capture the bosses like Pokemon and learn their moves.

[@walwal6449]

@@ragingsensei275 I like the raid, but 24 mans lag my computer big time. I did a run today and I could only see 2-3 out of the 5 bosses TOTAL, meaning I couldn't attack them. If people are like me then I understand not enjoying it. I need my coin tho, lol

[@I_Crit_My_Pants]

You put so much work and thought into your guides, and just because you're behind the other people releasing guides (because you're busy putting that extra effort in), your guides just don't get the views they deserve... It's frustrating to see and I imagine it's even more frustrating when you're the one putting in all the hard work :/
