10/10 big brain move with the shadow! Thanks for the vid; it really helped with cooldown management after the prison break. I found that if you save salted earth for the prison break it can help if your shadow crits to save some front/front runs. That was really fun when Rngesus let you play lol.

[@lepops8728]

Using Living Shadow to break gaol is such a gigabrain IQ technique that i would never think of. Would like to try the fight soon after i hit max on my DRK

[@MusuraChishiki]

The earliest video I saw using the living shadow is when two DRKs duo this fight last expansion. I think it is a fun fight for DRK aside from the rng first gaol part.

[@Vultee_LR]

By watching the whole video and now thats a true potential of playing dark knight

[@nekolover17]

breaking the gaol with ur shadow blew my mind xD

[@MalteHaudrauf-ChallangeArchive]

Congrats on the solo man. I tried to find a way to do this fight somehow but never figured that living shadow would be able to attack instead of just watch you die. Still the plate fracture just feels sooooo cheap and I hate it. Imagine my confusion after getting it the first try and then never again for like 2 hours. Anyway Thanks again for the video man, you rock.

[@MusuraChishiki]

Thanks! Yes unfortunately sometime solo runs need rng to clear and it can be frustrating. For rng runs like this I usually set aside 30mins or 60mins session. If I don't pass the rng part I just go do something else for the rest of the day and then try again another day. I hope you'll get your clear soon!

Absolute madlad

My guy is a beast right now, ggwp on the win boss👍🏻

[@MusuraChishiki]

Thanks again!

[@rjohn1277]

Nice! I’m guessing this is only soloable on DRK atm cause you need Living Shadow, but how tight is the DPS Check? Never ran this fight on savage so I’m unsure how tight the DPS check would be if I wanted to solo this myself

[@MusuraChishiki]

Thanks! I think I am about 20 seconds from the enrage. I played really safely here to try to survive and avoided any unnecessary weakness down debuff. I also didn't optimize my dps too so I think a better DRK player shouldn't have too much trouble with dps check.

[@rjohn1277]

Alright, that's good to know! I might give it a try then once I have DRK to 100, only leveled GNB and PLD to 100 so far

[@TheHiloSix]

I've just got my clear thanks to this vid and zephys's. I still have some questions tho: why does 2nd Dual Earthen Fists deal way less damage and is surviving massive burst after 2nd goal just rng?

[@MusuraChishiki]

Congrats on the clear! For Earthen Fist it looks like the first Earthen Anguish damage is amplified by magic vuln up while the second time it didn't get amplified when I look at the video. The sequence is: 1) 5:26 Weight World of the World & Magic Vuln Up -> Earthen Anguish 2) 7:41 Earthen Anguish -> Weight of the World & Magic Vuln Up As far as I know the damage spike 8:53 after second gaol isn't random I was able to consistently pass it but requires a lot of mitigation (Rampart, Dark Mind, Dark Missionary, Reprisal, Oblation and TBN) and almost full hp with my current gear. Edit: Forgot to add oblation to the mitigation.

[@Yerbia]

good shit dude! im going to try this with WAR

[@Millerinoo]

It's currently probably impossible to solo as WAR since there's no way to kill the jail while Titan is punching out platforms unless you have Living Shadow.

[@Yerbia]

@@Millerinoo i'll give it a shot on WAR to check but that makes sense why they were able to survive the jail, i guess i gotta level Dark knight now!

[@MusuraChishiki]

​@@Yerbia Thanks! I don't know if it is possible to pass the gaols & plate fracture on other tanks.

[@UbykhRights]

Amazing! I don't have DRK quite up yet, would you say this is duo-able with tanks? or are there still gaols as a problem?

[@MusuraChishiki]

Thanks! Gaols is a problem and I don't know if there is a way for duo tanks to pass the gaol + plate fracture without one of them playing DRK.

[@UbykhRights]

@@MusuraChishiki Motivation to get it to 100 then! Thank you!

[@Zephyrnull]

I actually tried duo WAR GNB before crafted gear came out and we got him down to about 2% before jails, so you could probably just kill before they come out now

[@MusuraChishiki]

@@Zephyrnull Awesome stuff thanks for the info!

[@drakeushellblade1786]

what is the sword your using?

[@MusuraChishiki]

Majestic Manderville Greatsword from Endwalker relics.

[@branvallindorm2490]

RNG: the fight. You spend 5+ minutes each try only to get f*cked by the RNG on Fractures since more than half the time this idiot will simply blow the one under you before your living shadow gets you out of the gaol.

[@RyoIsamuGaming]

More than half the time as a DRK. Try not being a DRK; it SHOULD be a 50% or 25% chance, but I swear to GOD he is deliberately aiming at me at times.

[@miweneia]

Have you perhaps tried to solo O11S? The rng movement after looper is insane. I spent nearly 3 hours the other day and got it only like once, then my second wind didn't crit so I didn't get topped off in time to beat the petrifaction.

[@RyoIsamuGaming]

@@miweneia I don't think 011S is quite doable yet, though I'd run PLD honestly through and through.

[@miweneia]

@@RyoIsamuGaming it is 100% doable, I was like 2k HP off full on samurai. Just needed to crit that second wind and I was gucci

[@branvallindorm2490]

@@miweneia I'd say the worst part is the giant fists knockbacks, which are random too. But yeah, I've done it solo on a tank. DPS seems a bit too rough considering you need to be full HP to survive Delta Attack, and relying on a crit Second Wind is adding even more RNG into that equation xD

[@KeldarMJ]

Are you playing on PC or PS5?

[@MusuraChishiki]

PC

[@MalleusSemperVictor]

DRK best tank

[@XPlayer52c]

Mental...

[@RyoIsamuGaming]

Right, been trying this as a PLD: is there any way other than being a DRK to solo this guy? Stuck on Jails and Fractures, and this dumb mofo has been playing mind games on me.

[@MusuraChishiki]

Seems like DRK only for now. The third plate fracture seems to always target the gaol spot when I tried on GNB.

[@RyoIsamuGaming]

@@MusuraChishiki Yeah. At first I thought there'd be a pattern, L shape, and had read if he went north or south he'd always go and destroy that section first. He then didn't do that. It's either a 25% chance or he is actually deliberately aiming at us in some way.
