FFXIV Shadowbringers Final Steps of Faith Guide for All Roles

[@chloelaw3454]

about to do this fight! and i can't tell u how excited i was to see that YOU had a guide for it! love ur guides. u kill em! updated, fun and informational, it never gets tiring and overwhelming watching urs

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Hey that's great to hear! I hope it went well 🙏

[@Scarecr0wn]

Standing in queue on the bridge, listening to the music.. man, some moments in this game are just unbelievable. Even for the second time this whole ending of Dragonsong war is just amazing. As always, great guide, I forgot basically everything xD

[@WolfgangCat]

Your vids are particularly valuable to me as you give info for off-tanks. As a new player sprout tank, I defer MT to the more experienced tank so it's helpful to know what to look out for as off-tank. It has happened a few times that both tanks are sprouts and I found myself MT, so knowing what to do for both gives me less "tankziety."

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Yep, once it swaps to 8 man then that 5th role joins the party. And of course most tanks doing these for the first time will probably end up off-tanking anyway so I will definitely always include info for them (even if it's usually "you're a dps"). Glad to hear it's appreciated!

[@Maxcom12]

just got to this fight today. You're always my first pic for guides. ty.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Nice, I hope it went well 🥳

[@Wet-Milk]

thanks man! we almost wiped cause some people didnt realize you had to keep standing in the lightning effect but luckily we all survived out first encounter and i felt very prepared cause of these guides

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Nice one, I'm happy to hear the guide was useful!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Lowkey wish King Thordan's fight was something as good as this. Next video won't be a guide. Got something extra cooking 🍪

[@Axelarden]

Right? I just did Thordan's fight earlier today and my one wish was that it was actually challenging. It's flashy and impressive to look at, but even his ultimate barely took away 10% HP from the party

[@MrWigpeeler]

That was insane! Wow, what fun. That song in background, the cut scene after - fantastic stuff. We wiped first time - healers duplicating too much. I rezzed one as summoner but interrupted on other. Great fun fir first run.

[@shadowcollector]

Your guides have been invaluable to me ❤️!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

The real value is the friends we made along the way!

[@farouq1983]

Although I can hardly see by now because I was grinding lv80 dungeons and was rushing towards the bed, but I must admit when I saw your video notification I had to watch the thing and as always you didn't disappoint mate! BTW I lold at the good old pronunciation struggle that we used to anticipate in your vids! Keep it up! =)

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

I knew when i wrote this that I would struggle. I think i just need to do some tactical sneezes when reading. Or do that thing where halfway thrᵒᵘᵍʰ ᵃ ˢᵉⁿᵗᵉⁿᶜᵉ ʸᵒᵘ ʲᵘˢᵗ ᵗʳᵃᶦˡ ᵒᶠᶠ ᵃⁿᵈ ⁿᵉᵛᵉʳ ᵠᵘᶦᵗᵉ ᶠᶦⁿ´´´ ´´´´ ´´´´´ ´´´´´´´

@@TomScottDoesStuff xD :D

[@VelvetUnicor]

Just echoing the comments below me. As a new player, your guides have been invaluable! It's super helpful to see current takes on content where most guides are easily 5+ years old. Thanks a bunch!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem! Most places do seem to be easier these days but knowing tactics still helps and of course occasionally things like this encounter come along to provide a bit more of a challenge.

[@gateofdivine582]

This fight was awesome. Thanks for the guide. I was able to stay alive and help the party.

[@samh3048]

bless you for these videos, all the other video guides are either long asf or out of date

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No worries! Though some of my own guides are becoming outdated with recent dungeon tweaks 😔

[@cainhenry4993]

You rock. As a sprout your guides are super helpful to me

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Good stuff, I'm glad to help!

[@stanislavjohnson3605]

aaaand another great guide! first time here, went as main tank, and blasted! Looking forward to more while progressing story!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Nice one, glad to help and glad to hear it went well!

[@Dexter_795]

Excellent guide. It helped me pick up the pieces on my DRK when the main tank insisted on solo tanking the whole thing by himself.

[@ScurlockFarms]

Perfect timing! Headed there now

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Well I'm 4 days late so that's the past tense of good luck? Good licked? Good licked!

[@1braincellwhm]

Many Thanks! Straight to the point and easy to understand guides. This one helped me power through this fight and help the other new players in our team.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Nice one, good job!

[@ellie_cr]

Love the guides! As a new tank, it helps me so so much! Thank you!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No worries, I'm always happy to help a tank!

[@windfalls.5015]

Thank you for the guide

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem, happy to be of assistance!

[@ablearry8490]

Another fantastic guide Tom. Very much appreciated 👍

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem, glad to hear it!

[@paneoce]

I love your guides man, thank you so much!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem! Glad to hear it!

[@callmeobsequious]

Ahhh, so THIS is the first fight with the Akh Morn I've heard so much about. Can't wait to die to someone who doesn't know what the stack marker is running away from everyone else!

[@emeryltekutsu4357]

Yeah, the way the game works I can't even blame them, it's really hard to know without research or experience what you run away from and what you run to sometimes. Without the guide I would never know you're supposed to all come together for that attack.

[@38MBH]

Another great guide, keep them coming!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Thanks for the support, I'm working on it 🥳

[@babaspector]

Went in blind as dps, and it was great! But now that I wanna heal, I decided to watch this. Thanks a lot for the guides :) Also, it's great that you've returned now that I'm getting to these dungeons and trials XD

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No worries! And thanks for the support. I am very much enjoying my return :D

[@gutsofmud]

Always enjoy your guides and this one is no exception 👍Thanks

[@tonymurphy2624]

The proper pronunciation is 'geerskergel'. It means 'spearshaker' and refers to a tribe of Norse Valkyries. Your walkthroughs are keeping me alive, so it's only fair I reciprocate.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Cool. Now I just need to work out how to say THAT 😂😭

[@zion5637]

You back!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

I back!

[@valithmaltair1501]

Love your vids! Keep it up! So handy!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Thanks, I will try!

[@Viech54]

Thanks for this guide, was able to clear the fight first try and got to listen to some great music. I don't get how the players have this much health, though. I'm a tank/paladin with Augmented Shire gear and some level 255 gear from vendors that I couldn't replace yet. Even your healers/DPS have way more HP than I do and tanks have twice as much HP as I do. What am I missing here? You are synced to level 60 and should be closer to my HP or have less as DPS/healer. At least that's what I'd expect.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Hey again. Yeah, as I had just finished replying on your similar Singularity Reactor comment, most likely there has been some stat squishing since the video was made.

[@foxxyllama]

Thanks Mr. Does Stuff.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

That's MR. Doe- oh wait. Well no problems here. You're welcome.

[@pixection9046]

Thank you :)

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

np 🥳

[@Darkorb44]

Thank you!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem!

[@chriskhuchar6032]

Thanks Tom!

[@thomassutton5516]

Good job with your guides, they remind me a bit of fatboss guides for wow 👍

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

I'll take that as high praise, thanks!

[@Bluepenguin28]

amazing guide tyvm

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

np, yw :D

[@momok8879]

Awsome!

[@SimWasTaken]

i let someone else take main tank whilst i focused on DPS, probably the worst mistake I could've done, we died twice to the dragon adds because MT kept putting them together, a simple "hey let me MT" and one nebula later we finished the trial in 5 minutes

[@jaymaxwell8645]

Scared the crap out of me saying this was the end of shadowbringers going into this fight at lvl 69. Thought I had missed out on 2 expansions.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

🤔 Do you mean by how I say shadowbringers in the intro? That's just to date the video to when it was made (for an idea of how dated it is/might be).

[@keyaccount1603]

Are there two different steps of faith? The event I did was chasing a dragon down a bridge.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Yeah so there is 'Steps of Faith' and 'Final Steps of Faith'. Final Steps comes at the end of Heavensward so this is not the encounter you just did.

[@rustyjones7908]

Why can't I ever see the stack markers in game? This vexes me deeply

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

In phase 4 you can at least watch out for when the boss stands up on two legs, that's when he's preparing to cast the attack 👍

[@WelbyCoffeeSpill]

I just did this PUG and the battle was nothing like this,..lol. It was a giant dragon marching across the bridge and we all had to dps it down before it reached the end. Adds along the way. Big leaping wipe jump. Cannons to click. Guards helping. We were so confused,..but we all made it second time around.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Yeah... you did the Steps of Faith. This is the video for the FINAL Steps of Faith :)

[@Stanbacchus]

“...To put somebody’s eye out” 😂. We had 1 death but thankfully most seemed to know what they were doing. Yet again thanks to your guide I went in not feeling like a total doughnut and collected my commendations 🍻 !

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Nice one, I'm glad to hear the guide was effective!
