Alphascape V1.0 (Savage) Guide - FFXIV

[@jasongarrett768]

Thanks for this Strangers of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin guide! I feel all set and prepared to kill Chaos now.

[@julieshem3294]

Ow my brain.

[@termiteterrorVSmyth]

you know its serious when you gotta take a break in the middle of watching a guide

[@runza123]

Chaos really reminds me of Mundus from DMC1 especially with the three eyes on his face.

[@GoukenGassenarl]

I'm playing on a JP server and is able to talk with them but not on a Savage strategy-making level. I'm grateful for these vids simply because of how you flesh out every mechanic. All I have to do now is to decipher the kanjis in their strat. macros (and usually some Japanese versions of the attacks are named differently/not translated literally so it takes a little more time to understand) and it's gonna smooth sail after that. Again, thanks for this MTQ!

[@Elratauru]

So... I have been trying this in practice runs for 3 days already. It's really fun! It's way simplier than it actually looks and well, I believe I can clear it, now it's just on the execution itself. Will come back whenever I pass it to report! Awesome guide.

[@armorkingg1]

So......

[@guzmanjuan95]

It's been three years, did you pass??

[@AnonSeacat]

3:15 LIGHT WARRIORS?? Impertinent fools. I, Garland, will knock you all down!

[@thelengedaryhero6900]

On the tether orbs on the cyclone phase, one tank (pld/drk) can intercept two tethers at once and use HG/LD to survive em.

[@smashbrother980]

People trying methods like this are the same people who eat cereal with forks (I'm kidding)

[@silverancient7840]

Yaaaaay MTQ to the rescue!!!

[@woobenstein]

I'm glad that this starts out with a really clear visual chart, it makes it easier to follow what you're saying

[@ninoplatinum]

I can hear MTQ all day doing the guides, thank you again for saving my day

[@FreaperFTW]

Granted the item level these days trivializes some older content, but we managed to complete this raid today thanks to your guide!

[@ahkaishecheyhi]

A bit of an mistake at the soft engage phase. On Earthquake, Chaos will actually cast Accretion on all 8 players rather than only on the tanks and heals, so you can just top off after cyclone goes off and all survive till the final 'bowels of agony' enrage cast. Although, these days with Orbonne coin exchanges and 390 rakshasha gear, most people shouldn't even see that phase if they can get through crystal cleanly.

[@Gharon]

One additional note about the Cyclone phase, if you try to cheese the Headwind/Tailwind mechanic with a knockback resist skill you will be punished by an attack that deals high damage (it did like 48k+ on me as a Dragoon i think). It always killed me the 3 times i tried using Arm's Length until we realized cheesing the mechanic like that was the cause. It seems to be the same attack that happens at the very end that knocks you upwards and applies the Damage Down debuff, but possibly hitting harder there as punishment. Or it might just have been a lack of shielding in the Cyclone phase that always killed me. Either way you'd want to avoid the Damage Down so: do the mechanic as intended. :P

[@MyVanir]

"We give you these nifty knockback immunity skills. We punish you for using these nifty knockback immunity skills. Please look forward to it." YoshiP to dps who want uptime, probably

[@tae-inkim2014]

OMEGALUL

[@darkflamemasterdeath2936]

The moment in the raid where your raid leader tells the healers to let the dps die as a boss fight mechanic.

[@Kannos1600]

i was about 2 minutes into this and nope. i am so glad i keep my game casual

[@wat8845]

I must destroy chaos

[@TheAzulmagia]

Remember when the first bosses of the Omega Raid tiers were little babies? Neither does Chaos.

[@tiehunterog]

Another option for the second earthquake (the one with the stacks) is for the DPS to stand in two of the stacks and avoid Big Bang. Then they can move north with the tanks and healers to get healed sooner and not lose uptime to getting knocked into the air.

[@PillsHere69]

Except that would mean 2 of the stacks go 'unstacked' as it were, causing those people to die

[@tiehunterog]

@@PillsHere69 No. Melees stack in both tank stacks while ranged stack in both a tank and healer stack. H-R-T-2M-T-R-H

[@PregnantOrc]

Screw normal. Straight to Savage. This looks hectic but fun

[@Aeonmancer]

So many thanks to you and your crew for your work on this.

[@VividVoyage82]

So, I love your videos and finally cleared this tonight with a pug as a healer, thanks to you. One thing that annoys me going into pugs with this fight is the healers figuring out who's N/S/NE/SE for the knockbacks. I think it'd be easier if there were a standard "West Healer" and "South Healer." "West healer" is west for blaze, crystal, and far west for EQ. North for the knockback during Tsunami and Cyclone ( which could be NW/NE depending on where the tanks pull Chaos). "South Healer" would always be south for blaze, crystal, all knockbacks (including SE/SW for Cyclone), and then far E for EQ. I'd love to just go into a fight and be like "are you W or S healer?” Just a suggestion as a video update. Would be nice to make West/South healer a standard thing. I've tried, through pugs, but don't have the audience you do :) I go into groups and people want s for crystal, w for blaze, e for EQ, S for tsunami, then NE/NW for cyclone... It's frustrating! I also think one of my friends knows you, or talks to you occasionally (at least this is what I was told, maybe he’s just bs’ing) lol.

[@lkmiecik]

Well done explaining the fight. Very clear. Thanks.

[@frozenflame5858]

When I saw this video I was like "WTF is this, I guess savage content isn't for me." But then i tried it yesterday and its actually not so bad. Havent cleared it yet, but seems possible with a few more tries and a good group. Not that much harder than susaku and tsukoyomi ex, which i've got down cold. Honestly just jumping in and running and dying a bunch will learn you the fight as long as you've watched one of these vids and have a basic understanding of the key mechanics. Also, I love Mizzteq's guides. So much better than the long winded Mr. Happy. Prefer the fast pace; if you miss something thats what pause and rewind is for. (altough i gotta say Mizzteq's suggested way of handling Tsukoyomi meteors makes no sense and has smaller margin for error since only one person is putting meteor in the disappearing color and the positioning is awkward. Ive found absolutely no one does it that way)

[@FireMage7777]

THE PUNS ARE BACK

[@ytmatx]

And they're getting worse.

[@ksiarmy100able]

Wow.....just wow this is a fun raid I never thought I have to "die" to live

[@WrathBoup]

Well... actually... Neo-Exdeath did that exactly a year ago...

[@kuri_curry]

Was about to say what Leaf did. XD Neo Exdeath had that and more. (Am looking at you Almagest)

[@drkrework9756]

@@kuri_curry Almagest? Did you say scholar deploy and its time for healer dps? XD

[@vayneinsane]

12:25 Bowels of Chaos can't kill you, it's fixed damage that drops you to 1hp and removes any shields.

[@cheffi14]

If your HP drops, for any reason (Warrior switching to dps stance or losing their HP Buff from Thrill, or Buffood running out which i saw happening) it can kill you since it does damage based on your max hp.

[@txsnips4844]

While it can kill you if your max drops, if it gets mitigated too hard the dps will have too much health to die afterwards.

[@hadial-saleh2529]

THE PUNS ARE BACK

[@TheRealLink]

Great guide as always!

[@fullmetalarshole]

Of course the dragoon fell off the map during edict

[@drkrework9756]

was anyone else disappointed that Chaos was just a Sephirot reskin that also rehashed his mechanics?

[@Duoneo2753]

TBH I like Mizzteq guides cause it breaks it down for each one along with showing diagrams for mechanics for ease of access. Even tho I cleared O9S before this came out going to be taking some of these ideas and using them to maximize overall raid DPS, uptime, and Movement

[@petersierchio7703]

Samesies, but i've been getting messy kills on my weeklies. Now that I've seen this I can see where to tighten up my Gameplay

[@craigfunk3453]

I'm pretty sure tou mentioned it..but Umbra Smash targets the available spot furthest from him. So it's not too hard to just keep him that little bit off center to ensure Umbra Smash targets the same spot every run for consistency

[@petersierchio7703]

she mentioned it but for her static they were having issues with melee dps uptime running him across again

[@JJBCrimsonKnight]

During cyclone I want to point out that tanks Can stay melee range of the boss and keep their uptime, you won't get pushed off attacking the boss.

[@Niiopii]

You guys should timestamp the elemental phases and depending if he does edict or long/lat. Just a suggestion.

[@Sin606]

Thanks for the breakdown, I feel a little like I can try it.

[@alaineninmah7040]

Her earlier videos on previous tiers are well done. Her train video was the one i watched for my clear on that along with the static. It provided each scenarior and how it plays out. This one feels like she raided here posted mechanics over it, explained what it did and then published it

[@hehadaname]

Yayyy the puns are back! Thanks for the guide Mizz!

[@mrcipher00]

Q:as for the enrage part of the cyclone,does the cyclone cleave other peoples?

[@aceio1225]

Do the healers actually need to heal after the dps "die" to the stack mechanics for second earthquake? aside from the MT ofc. Looks like he's going to drop everyone to 1 hp anyways

[@yabiyabi]

I think after much practice, this could easily become my favourite fight... if only I had friends to practice :( Easily said than done. Sighh.. Mizz Teq san, if I move to your server, will you teach me? ; ; That said... I have to say, of all your guides (which every one of them are AMAZING) I feel this guide, is the most outstanding, most well described, detailed, yet straight to the point as always, and that you repeat the phases to make sure people like me understands, you put a lot of work into this. Thank you very much for your hard work. m(_ _)m

[@kamelmostafa6902]

[@pranowo94]

Thanks.. I really appreciate your guide, i finished my suzaku ex last night after learn your guide 😍😍. Gonna farm the doggo now

[@Gemini_Godhand]

So when the damage dealers take lethal damage is that when the healers LB3 to revive them?

[@SorinDragos77]

If you do the mechanics right, the DPS will be put to 1 HP on those mechanics, no revives SHOULD be needed. Just a lotta healing.

[@shanegrayson7068]

Just came back to the game. Literally 0 learning parties now for o9s for over 2 weeks. This game is really starting to get out of hand.

[@TGMShoNuff]

Oh I was ridiculed over having one iLvl 400 gear piece and not clearing savages (when I have a clear for Savage AND an Extreme.....I'm not a Raider but I now have a burning desire to do as much as I can so I can understand how this side of gaming works), plus not being a parser and yet I stream.........never mind this community getting out of hand, it's gone beyond too far and I feel the developer needs to step in.

[@TGMShoNuff]

Because for real? I'm not going to use a Parser and if someone hates this, so be it. Call it a slap in the face (and not judging you whatsoever because from what you told me, you were legitimate with the use of it) but when someone uses that against me, I will report them for it.

[@bonzathebear7289]

honestly, I have to agree. I did Mythic content in WoW for years, but I finally had enough of the god-awful mentality of players. So lo and behold when I finally reach the endgame of SB, and the same people are there. The game isn't even designed to be played like that, even if it is the hardest content.

[@harryb12993]

​@@TGMShoNuff Jesus "I feel the developer needs to step in." God no. You're part of the problem that created the new harassment rules. If theres not any learning groups why not just make one? You aren't the only learner. If you have trouble getting good gear through savages then why not try farming up genesis tomes? If you don't like the way someone is talking to you why not just add them to your blacklist? Acting like a problem is "out of hand" and asking the developer to step in causes MASSIVE problems for the game. You are a real threat to the game and it scares me.

[@smashbrother980]

Wait, so once the DPS die to remove their debuff they'll just come back to life? Healers don't have to res or anything?

[@RagnellAvalon]

They fall down to 1 HP instead of dying.

[@smashbrother980]

Found that out today, these raids are harder than I thought, lol, I also noticed that if you successfully don't stack during the blaze phase you take no damage, that or I was with some really fast healers

[@smegid586]

What do they mean in PF when they say DPS in or out?

[@ahkaishecheyhi]

The strategy that Mizz gives is essentially 'DPS in'. It's where you have the DPS on the inside, and tanks/heals get knocked outwards. This requires the tanks and healers to face out for a while tho, and makes it so they can't attack the orb for a while. To combat this, some PF's will use 'DPS Out,' where you position your DPS at Max melee range, and your tanks and healers inside of them. This will knock them through the crystal and to the other side. It's arguably the more difficult strategy, as the positioning is much tighter, as well as the additional adjustment you MUST make after getting knocked through the middle in order to not hit unintentional DPS's. But the upside is that the tanks and healers get more time to attack the crystal. There is one additional strat called 'Line Strat', but don't expect people to be proficient in the PF. It's mostly used by static's to increase uptime. In that strat, you completely ignore DF, and use combust to 'kill' each dps. It allows for the most uptime, but it's not the most intuitive strat unless you had a chance to learn it.

[@smegid586]

@@ahkaishecheyhi Thanks, in hindsight that probably should've been obvious to me. I'll try to avoid "line strat" groups because I've seen those too.

[@ahkaishecheyhi]

@@smegid586 if there are groups learning/teaching line strat, I would actually recommend joining them just to learn it. It ends up being easier/more consistent in the long run.

[@KingDracoon]

I feel like many pugs will die to debuffs/ the non telegraphed attacks quite often.

[@drkrework9756]

mechanics are easy to figure out, the hardest part of a raid tier is finding 7 other competent players who can properly do a rotation while handling mechanics and not screw their teammates over.
