FFXIV Seat of Sacrifice Trial Guide (Spoiler Free Start) | Patch 5.3 Trial Guide

[@metalmilitia89]

For the 4 egi bahamuts, it's easier if each targeted person runs to that respective corner so that the aoe attack point out of the arena.

[@Bongaboi151]

Seat of Sacrifice, with a nice anthem to Amaurot which also doubles as Elidibus's theme music. Perfect while on the /beesknees emote.

[@SecretsofShade]

I tried to run this for the first time last night, and I think most of the group was new to the trial. We learned as we went, but the tanks hated wiping, so we kept having them leave and get replaced. New tanks led to people not knowing to limit break. To be fair, I wouldn't have known without watching this video, either. That was our last wipe and the group voted to abandon. Hopefully I have better luck with it today!

[@acooper2975]

I did this fight for the first times yesterday and we wiped so many times. But we figured it out as we went. I’m really glad no one raged quit! Lol but it as still fun. I plan to run it again with some of my FC tonight.

[@klanise]

I think I was rezed 7 times on normal and put out like 11 Rezs. In one pull tho we cleared it😂

[@Shayoni]

That fight was terrifying! Thank you so much for the video. The other healer went down once but we made it through in one go and I'm giving you credit for getting me through it at least. haha~

[@Strykerx31]

Man, The OG from Final Fantasy, Weird, but i guess a fitting climax Nevertheless.

[@BurntReynoldzYall]

baha when i saw the pause button mechanic in game i thought...roman numeral "II" wtf am i suposed to do with that?!...ohhhhh its a pause and play button, thanks!

[@bladewolf39]

For a story trial, this was actually pretty rough. Yeah, we went in blind, but even after we were able to learn the mechanics and patterns, it was still unforgiving.

[@OrphansCorpse]

lmao

[@ZaneLionhartffxiv]

I loved the phase change my fc member loved u know who.

[@robertkelly5797]

are you guys not level synced or something? seems like pretty high HP

[@darknesspr1640]

I went in blind and it was fun but Holy shit the button smashing was hard lol I don't think I can do that trial anymore or it will break my controller hopefully it gets nerf I don't wanna keep buying controllers

[@willielewis224]

Thanks Brian for the video. No wipes but I died twice...that fire & ice are tricky. Will do this fight several times for I do Extreme.

[@Work2Game]

Nice, I'm still leveling up my jobs, so maybe I'll jump into EX fights once all that is done later this year :)

[@lilq990]

With the two swords, if you watch where they both start, stand in the corner between them. It's the easiest way to stay out of harm's way. ;)

[@agidyne9676]

My group quit after we figured out to use tank lb. I managed to use it the right time after the second wipe MT used it pretty early so we wiped then. The second go around was better, but the healers kept dying. Lol neither me or my co-tank has ever pressed tank lb. Ive been playing this game for ages and have never pressed that button. It was awesome to finally press it.

[@Yukaharu]

Just tried running this and on the ATM, it wouldn't even register that I was doing anything and my entire party wiped so many times they abandoned the duty. I felt horrible.

[@kedolan4992]

it's REALLY hard compared to any of the ATM we've had so far. I ended up spamming a button on my keyboard AND spam clicking the button. It'd get down to around 20% left, then jump up to 35%, and just yoyo back and forth. I think it might be a combo of "very hard" and "gets easier as you get lower" to drive up the tension. Also worth noting, if ANYONE fails, even dead people, it wipes the party. It doesn't just kill the people who fail.

[@FarelForever]

I am glad I cleared it on the first try with random people, but it was close! Healer LB3 was needed

[@OhSoDeluXE]

If you wipe on the tank LB bit a few times like it happened to me last night, the fight will eventually start directly from phase 2.

[@XxXSilverWolfPtXxX]

Im glad a lot of people went in blind and had fun... i tried going blind (waiting for second party atm) one wipe everyone except the tanks and i regequited...

[@markdavenportjr5129]

dude this trial was brutal i should have waited for guides later today on this one. :)

[@gloominaati3105]

Nah its more fun going in blind

[@TLG6669]

This trial was awesome. I kept hitting Dark Missionary every time it was up. Party buffs are key to surviving this one!

[@BorisTheGoose92]

This Trial was super fun! Was a ton of fun doing the dungeon and this trial blind.

[@einschwartz]

I'm not the most competent healer out there but this looks so fun to heal. 🙌 Excited to experience this hands-on tonight. EDIT (Update): Just cleared it. QTE is the scariest part of the fight ngl. 😂 Really love that they added pause and play icons for the blizzard and fire attacks.

[@Work2Game]

Congrats on your clear :)

[@LionessPaladin]

this is was the most exciting and fun MSQ boss in the whole game for me its really tough going in blind, but still super fun

[@LionessPaladin]

also found this fight harder than Nidhogg and Shinryu

[@metalmilitia89]

We wiped three times but I'm glad we figured it out as we went.

[@Work2Game]

Yeah, it's fun when you have a great group of people willing to work on the mechanics. :)

[@mcneil016]

I find this trial very harsh, maybe its because I don't really do high-end content unless I really need to. It somehow remind of my first run on shiva ex, it was manic. (during HW )

[@Korelon7]

This isn't even extreme.

[@ilitsa]

I LOVED this fight so much!

[@oriain81]

I haven't had a chance to play yet hopefully tomorrow. That's not a simple trial!

[@brycemoose7026]

Yo where do I unlock the extreme version

[@Work2Game]

Should be in the crystarium but if not I'll double check :)

[@stevenblackburn2811]

Yeh it’s the wandering minstrel in the crystarium.

[@Zadamanim]

@@stevenblackburn2811 u mean the minstrelling wanderer lol

[@shunyaku7759]

You don't write a script, do you

[@alexjones50]

it's seat of sacrifice not seat of salvation

[@Work2Game]

That’s what I get when I title the video in an exhausted State

[@nonsense021]

@@Work2Game get some rest my dude :D

[@Work2Game]

Will do :)

[@djhollowpoint]

First trial I've been in where everyone quit, makes me want to quit playing tbqh. This was not fun as an AST.

[@scuttledspatula8837]

Healers have it rough this fight. So much heavy raid wide damage lol

[@roetemeteor]

My friends thought it'd be funny to not tell me about absolute living dead. As a scholar, P A N I K

[@RikuMasamune]

I got a com from this fight as a DPS (since I didn't feel like tanking... I have a fear of letting people down).

[@jamesgill6028]

battle starts at kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZWYn4SMatN6sM0

[@Work2Game]

James, just FYI, we put the outline in the description and if you hover over the video you'll see the sections mapped out to easily jump to them. Thanks for adding this comment, but the new youtube tools make it easier to fine :D

[@DragonKnight90001]

That reminds me whats this about the free trial extended?

[@Konpekikaminari]

Free trial now goes up to level 60 and includes all of Heavensward's content

[@ZaneLionhartffxiv]

It's your opinion how is it toxic?

[@MisteRRYouTuby]

@@ZaneLionhartffxiv It is toxic in the manner of how it is presented in terms of dissent. It is also toxic relative to the nature of this channel and the FFXIV community at large; not that they are saintly in their language but they have higher standards than I. I'm at least meeting them halfway by giving fair warning in regards to my beliefs; I respect and love this channel that much, and in turn they have given me the freedom and responsibility to let my voice be heard, toxic though it may be.

[@LionessPaladin]

what did you dislike most about it?

[@MisteRRYouTuby]

@@LionessPaladin The use of a legacy FF character, the mechanics too similar to Bahamut, the butchering of Elidibus, the constant imbalance of how the fight plays out, and everything else not mentioned. Its just the Hades fight only Light instead of Dark.

[@AwashimaSeriLieutenant]
