Another tip from my experience: To tell which tank is going to explode first in the final fight, look for the red tether. 9S tethers to the tank that will explode first with a red tether. If you wait for the AOE indicator pulse to start before you move it can sometimes be too late to get in cover. Just move as soon as you see the red tether and you'll be fine.

[@ygnizemcenia6059]

from what I notice he always tether the last tank that dies

[@nh558a]

For the second boss, if anyone from one of the other alliances raises someone from a different alliance, keep in mind they will appear on the raiser's platform (where raise was cast).

[@lyconxero457]

Aside from the music and the aesthetics, I think the thing I like the most about this raid is that even though many MANY people died over an over again while doing it we were able to clutch the win, it just took a while. Really, the only mechanic we ran into that actually wiped the group to where we had to start over again was the meteors on the Engels fight since people seemed to forget that mechanic even though it's as old as 2.x.

[@Work2Game]

There is a lot to love about this new raid for sure. :)

[@Work2Game]

Cool. I’m sure many had good luck. I did not.

[@elizabethyoung5304]

Work To Game I didn't have any luck either since I went in blind and died a few times to each boss. Lol since I'm on a kick to wanting to learn every fight this expansion, dying a lot is all part of the learning process. But this raid, like everything this expansion, was so epic

[@kellymoffat3670]

Thank you for the guide, this anxiety riddled black mage is going to give it a try..

[@dl88889]

Hi, just want to say that your video helped me a lot for this raid. Thanks!

[@elementalbeast2272]

Thanks for the guide man! Really helped me out!

[@lordpoundcake2317]

I was able to run this raid 2 times this morning before work. Got my weekly loot and the coffer too. The glams are amazing.

[@Six1Eye]

Wats inside the coffer and how many can I get weekly I only done the raid once so far and got one gear loot only ^^,

[@Konpekikaminari]

@@Six1Eye coffer contains the 2B cosplay, and AFAIK you can roll for it every run (unlike normal equipment)

[@Six1Eye]

@@Konpekikaminari thank you m8 so much didnt know this.

[@rasikkom9605]

I really like how clean your UI is. "They will drop big ol' giant balls of pain" lol well put.

[@Work2Game]

Thanks! And thanks, I hoped it would get a laugh. :)

[@geekatari4391]

Great guide, super fun to watch. Thanks a lot!

[@Work2Game]

Thanks so much Giovanni :)

[@mikeoc6870]

This raid was so good! Very fun.

[@adrianarizmendi2037]

The music was amazing, the fights were so fun... super excited for the next part

[@Bladescorpion83]

best guide out there imo. Thanks for the good work.

[@Work2Game]

Thanks Blade :)

[@Its_an_Eze]

Good work man! Ran this twice and it was a lot of fun. Though running and clearing Eden Savage and other Savage fights a lot of mechanics are very familiar. Except for the craziest mechanic of all: a tank that drags the boss all over the earth lmao

[@utoobguy3041]

at the part where ur divided and it switches around mechanics, turn ur camera to the back wall, theres where most of the mechanics come from, u really dont need to look in front of you. lasers come from there but u cant avoid them anyways.

[@Work2Game]

^ Excellent tip!

[@Strider_Shinryu]

Been through 3 times now. Pretty fun time. It's funny because the first couple of bosses still break my brain but the last couple seem largely easy in comparison. Still hoping to pick up the minion and the actual gear but was lucky enough to grab the 2B coffer already.

[@Pmak]

Hate you with all my being right now for getting that coffer. lol

[@Strider_Shinryu]

@@Pmak Haha Yeah, I'm usually terrible with RNG so I was shocked it came so quickly. That said, it would be nice if they at least let you buy the coffer (or even just the individual pieces) for the Coins that the raid drops anyway. For those who continually strike out on rolls, especially since some people have confirmed that you can roll on the coffer even after you've won one already so there will be trolls out there.

[@oriain81]

It's really good and looks great. I love the whole raid story so far. Thanks for the guide.

[@SupremeHaremKing]

you should remember to meniton that all knockback abilities in this raid can be ignored with surecast/arms length etch.

[@Konpekikaminari]

this is valuable information, because in eden the radial knockbacks (titan/leviathan) can't be resisted

[@Work2Game]

Thanks Normies, I'll do that next time :)

[@PandaArchaedas]

These are the fights I play mmos for, these mechanics look so fun!!!!

[@08vic24]

The 'Anti-personnel Missiles' at the very end keeps getting me. In the beginning it's really easy to dodge, but then it feels like there's a sequence of 2 or 3 of these in a row with both the 'checkerboard' and 'linear' patterns and I keep having a hard time keeping track of the pattern while the airstrike is going on at the same time. Rest of the raid wasn't too bad up to this point. Still enjoyed it overall, but I get the feeling I'm going to be running this one a ton to get the healer and casting gear.

[@tbyrd7893]

Thanks

[@streunekatze8205]

thank you!

[@Work2Game]

You're very welcome :)

[@Strider_Shinryu]

The dropping balls that accompany Engels' Energy Barrage (the giant channelled laser down the centre of the platform) don't actually cause "some raid wide" damage. It will wipe your entire raid group of it's not done correctly. Every group I've been through with has not done this bit correctly at least once and every time it was a wipe. You only need one person on each circle to negate the damage (the circle will actually light up when someone is in it to visually confirm that you've done it right) but you need to do it. It's not optional.

[@user-rg7xj9nm2e]

Anyone know the orchestrion scroll for the music from last boss?

[@jfoford9109]

At the end of the day I am enjoying the creativity with the mechanics or at least how they present them. Also, I'm very glad they didn't throw all their eggs in one basket with the shadowbringers expansion. This patch was solid on so many fronts. The MSQ is still so deep and entertaining. I got mad in a good way when it ended.

[@dis3nchant3d42]

I thoroughly enjoyed this raid

[@Six1Eye]

Really enjoyed the raid fight, one question the box loot icons tht drops at the last boss what do they contain and how many of them can I get a week?

[@OTOBIOhazord]

2P glamour from what I heard so probably once "ever" unless you toss glam.

[@sakura_frosting]

Alliance A’s Hobbes mechanic has lines of machine heads under you that activate and shoot fire at you. They have telegraphs so its not that bad. I’ve only been in A so I’m not sure about C.

[@Strider_Shinryu]

Yeah, one has the conveyor belts, one has lines of grates with machines underneath and the third one has circular patterns that light on fire. All telegraph pretty obviously but it's not so easy when other stuff is happening. I found the fire floor to be the hardest just because the circular safe areas don't always play nice with the other mechanics.

[@kartana]

The Marx Smash is explained not very well. If he lifts his arms up above his head, just stand in the front part middle. If he lifts his hands up just a little, stand in the back part in either corner.

[@Work2Game]

Thanks for the feedback. :)

[@Shadethewolfy]

What song is playing in the background? I know it's from FFXIV, but I forget where it's from. I want to say it's a boss theme? EDIT: Shattered, I'm pretty sure. From Syrcus Tower.

[@Gemini_Godhand]

This tells me that they made it either easier for more accessibility or introduction into harder content later on. Gonna play it later when I get home!

[@Work2Game]

They try to have these build on each other, so the third tier in the .5 patch in a year+ should be the most challenging version :)

[@wg_rey]

This raid is easy? I was hoping for a challenge.

[@BradleyMcCloud]

WG Rey it’s not an 8 man savage instance. :P

[@Phrame1]

Wow, this is the fastest guide ever made

[@Work2Game]

We're heading out for Blizzcon2019 tomorrow morning so I just lived in this raid, captured the footage, and worked on the guide. Whew, pretty wiped out now.

[@kaldeaspuritania7501]

Check out the video of Desperius, he needed only 12 minutes and was a bit faster. But still a nice video !

[@Dracounguis]

Run/record raid. Talk about raid, upload! ;)

[@elizabethyoung5304]

When does the next part of the raid series come out?

[@Work2Game]

Patch 5.3 sometime this summer :)

[@ShinyBlueFlame]

The big adds in the third boss must be tanked separately, otherwise they'll be too tanky if stacked.

[@Shyndryth]

I hope they update the Nier raid 2b glam box to be one roll per player (eg if they got it cant roll on it) and add it to the token exchange, having run it 20 times over the past week since launch and not getting it, it would be nice if they added an alternate means of acquiring the box.

[@azure98]

Should definitely mention that for 9S' Goliath Tank support that 2 Tanks from any alliance should be ready to pick them up and face them away from the rest of the group as they will frequently fire decently high damage Line AoE Tank Buster at the same time 9S is pulsing out raid wide damage so healers really need to be on top of that. Ive actually seen quite a lot of Alliances go down to it surprisingly.

[@inkmage4084]

This raid was awesome, as was this guide ^_^

[@Work2Game]

Thanks Ink :)

[@CatGirlFanatic]

fun would not be a word i would use to describe this one. I would describe is as aggravating and rage inducing, but it doesn't really help that my PC is getting up there in years and its feeling its age more and more with each expansion LoL.

[@meamme99]

Guided missiles directly targets the tanks only.

[@kinakomono]

This doesn't seem hard at all rn. I just queued yesterday and died almost 20 times.should be looked up guide first, but I'll give it a try again today

[@Work2Game]

Good luck on your clear and hope you have fun :)

[@kinakomono]

@@Work2Game it was good I have to say, I died only once in the entire raid

[@codesymphony]

I was looking forward to this raid, but I only just finished heavensward and I don't think I'll ever get through the stormblood and shadowbringer content. so I'm here to watch it via youtube instead :P

[@cici39177]

It takes awhile but I started where you are like 2 months before SHB and I was working a ton. Youll get there :)

[@FreedomSylph]

Precision Guided Missiles always prioritize the 3 tanks of each alliance

[@Work2Game]

Yep, that's what I said, and you can get caught up in the splash damage. :)

[@Dracounguis]

I like mechanics like this. I tank in WoW and when the pull is going bad and its gonna be a wipe anyway... I'll just run to the biggest group and 'share the love'. ;)

[@Mystra]

Hope you guys had a lot of fun with this

[@Work2Game]

I did, it was very enjoyable. :)

[@Clapicus]

who should do the limit break skill on a party or alliance?

[@ygnizemcenia6059]

mostly during this newly released raids LB is always saved for the healers to recover from an impending wipe XD

[@Work2Game]

9/10 times the answer is a dps. melee for single target and ranged for aoe. that being said new contetn sometimes calls for a tank to get through a nasty part of a boss (dont see that helping a ton here) or more likely in the case of this raid the healer may need it to mass rez people whoa re dying to things they have not yet mastered avoiding. as gear and knowledge of the fight increases the healer using it will drop off and it will be dps like most content.

[@tessailiad]

I really wanted to like this video but the HUD hiding the mechanics in the prime viewing location really bothered me. I want to see wtf I'm supposed to be avoiding/stacking under/seeing the tell for!

[@brandonotto3031]

Will we get a ps4 samurai guide or just controller guide soon?

[@Work2Game]

I'm finishing up leveling white mage, and finishing up my guide for red mage. And at that point will put a poll up for people to vote on what I should work on next. :)

[@beansmckenzie9162]

Are there weapons that drop ? Idc about armor Nier had some great looking weapons

[@Konpekikaminari]

no, and we probably won't see any as alliance raids usually don't come with unique weapons But then again Yoshi-P did mention he likes the idea, so no harm in hoping (btw you should care for Nier armor, because the normal stuff is i.level 465)

[@Work2Game]

I haven't seen it yet, but we will have to wait and see with time.

We are out at BlizzCon but plan on putting together our thoughts on 5.1 when we get back!

[@SuikodenGR]

@@Work2Game awesome! Enjoy!

[@Dracounguis]

Figured I'd watch a guide and die a couple times less on my initial run. No dragoon in this video, so not sure how helpful this guide will be to me. ;) :::: Had to go buy a 440 ring in Eulmore to get to 435 so I could get in...Died 4 times. Forgot about the "ya only get 1 piece of loot!" thing, rolled greed and got a Ninja helm. My rogue job is lvl 11. :(

Is the 2b coffer locked to one per character or can people keep rolling on it after they get it once

[@wates101]

You can get multiple

@@wates101 This is what is stupid about it. Why would you need multiple of it other than for greed/or to troll people.

@@Work2Game In future, it's good policy to hide/obscure your chat, and to use party initials instead of full names. It helps protect the privacy of people who didn't consent to being recorded, whether this particular person was joking or not. Frankly, there ARE some people who would rather not be recorded, especially if it's their first time running something blind and they're forever shown on youtube as dying multiple times.

First two pugs the healers were not healing me and I took issue with that. It took the third attempt (and telling the alliances I was streaming their performance) to finally get the clear done. I have been told there is a glitch concerning the final boss, hopefully that is resolved.

[@funghazi]

I hate this raid so much

[@Work2Game]

That's a bummer, any real reason?

[@VampireNoblesse]

why? heared from most, its one of the best 24 raid ever (especially as 1st tier of 3)

[@Bladescorpion83]

Like wise. It’s a fan service raid for NA fans. If a player wasn’t interested in NA or thought it was overrated, badly written, and doesn’t have Waifu syndrome, then it was a bad raid compared with the other 9. gear looks like it came from the My Chemical Romance wardrobe. Mobs looks more out of place with the world than the scape series from last expansion. Doesn’t yet add to lore and world like the previous raids added to the Allagan, Mages, and the occupation of Ivalice/Dalmasca. Hopefully 2 and 3 are designed better, and fit the game more. Otherwise it’s just a meh raid series that just provided upgrade parts, and gear to glamour over.

[@VampireNoblesse]

@@Bladescorpion83 I thought the fights were fun and diffrent than any previous FFXIV 24 man raids, by far...., and the glamours looked good and the story characters were funny.. liked the raid a lot

[@SrBlacken]

Tbh i don't think this needs a guide by the time u get here assuming u did not use a jump potion one has seen same or similar mechanics/attacks along the way and the new ones aren't hard to figure out, Idid it today in the morning with bunch of randons 3 times we never wiped except maybe once among last 2 bosses. It really is just that easy

[@Work2Game]

if someone has been active i would agree with you on much of this raid, but a returner or someone that got carried past a mechanic before they figured it out would still benefit from not skipping over the ones we may have seen before. this set also has a neir style appearance so anyone who was just getting the hang of the normal visuals may appreciate a peak at the slight style change some of this has. and the last two are the hardest this time around. thankfully not a math boss.
