For people stuck in phase 3 on FF mode: - start off with fire beam right away (get CD back asap) - charge brimstone always into red range - use melee combo 4 x square then 2 times triangle - rush in with wildfire after pushback - use skills on CD obv

[@alanbruce480]

I’m guessing you’re fighting him in FF mode. I did too and am currently stuck in his 3rd phase. I don’t find this section enjoyable (the other Eikons have the same mechanic, but none gave me trouble like him). I’m do open with the ranged fire beam and then close up to use melee, but the fire beam takes too long to recharge. Not a fan of this segment of the fight at all

[@rokellc]

@@alanbruce480 Yeah the Spitflare takes way too long to recharge. The guy in the video is doing a really good job of using it strategically. He got it when the timer was at one. I would have as well but both of my charge attacks were not ready and I failed. And one thing he is doing that I didn't notice was charging Brimstone to the red. I was doing it to the yellow and not getting as much damage.

[@ShinySonic]

@@alanbruce480same I’m stuck on third phase rn and have been for an hour

[@TheMegaSackman]

​@@rokellcYeah I'm doing the same, taking the skill to the yellow segment, maybe that's why I'm not doing enough dps, I get really close but can't get it done. I'll try doing it on red next time, must be that.

[@SauceJL]

Yea the Spitflare attack at the start and doing the certain combo attacks came in clutch this phase was the only phase i was stuck on for almost an hour smh

[@ProfessorHeavy1]

We all knew Soken would be sneaking "Through the Maelstrom" in this boss fight. It was only a matter of WHEN he'd use it.

[@PrimalDragon1740]

And I had a huge crying fit when it finally came on.

[@dlvarcade9729]

What's also interesting is that the song comes on during the barrier phase, which looks very similar to the elemental conversion barrier you use in XIV to protect you from Levi's ultimate.

[@cameraredeye3115]

And it was timed perfectly. The barrier phase is the hardest bit of this boss fight, and that piece of music perfectly communicates the sense of urgency at stopping Leviathan from releasing the Tsunami.

[@happyphiri4237]

Waljas is super cute but MAN he threw one eikonic tantrum

I cannot believe FFXVI, the game I love with all of my heart and never had any issues with its difficulty, finally made me raged for a good 30 mins. Honestly, FUCK this fight. Leviathan might be my favorite summon/eikon and gotten it from a quiz to pretend I was the Leviathan Dominant, but MY GOD THE DPS CHECK ON THIS IS INSANE EVEN ON ACTION FOCUSED. I HAD TO SWITCH TO STORY MODE TO DO A BIT MORE DPS! WTF YOSHIDA, WERE YOU UPSET THAT PEOPLE CALLED FFXVI EASY??!

[@cherishberdahl2632]

OMG THE DPS CHECK MADE ME SO MAD IT TOOK ME FOREVER TO FIGURE OUT I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER HOW I DID IT ANYMORE I THINK I ERASED IT FROM MY MEMORY BECAUSE OF THE TRAUMA I SAT THERE STARING AT MY ABILITIES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAXIMIZE MY MF DMG AND EVENTUALLY IT ALL WORKED OUT LOL

[@65firered]

I was on Final Fantasy mode and it took me at least 20 tries to break thay barrier.

[@TheRiolan]

The pretending to be leviathan's dominant part is so real

[@nepspartan-7597]

It took me one try to get through the tsunami DPS check, and holy fuck did I cut it close. Then waterspout yeeted me back

[@Jimmymatthewb]

I've been on final fantasy mode for the past 6 months so it was the only way I could play this dlc. And now I can't finish it. I'll probably never be able to.

[@EoRaptor-fm5tr]

I like the fact that from the dialogues during Leviathan fight, Clive as Ifrit is like a older sibling to Levi. Such as the instance when Levi made a huge Watersprout Clive replied that Garuda would be proud about it lol. But yeah, at this point of time Clive is already too powerful for Leviathan to beat. I wonder how powerful this Leviathan is in comparison to other boss Eikons, minus the power up forms after consuming the ether from Mother Crystal that is.

[@groundpounde]

Well judging by the devastating attacks it can throw out i'd say maybe..Titan Lost level? I would say Bahamet *sorry if i spelled the name wrong* but that's maybe being a but too considerate

[@lsaacthecraftsman]

Out of the main elemental eikons ( so bahamut / Odin excluded ) I’d argue he’s the absolute strongest. Unfortunately Clive already had a perfect grasp on Ifrit at this point unfortunately which didn’t help.

[@groundpounde]

@@lsaacthecraftsman so You're saying is..Essentially Leviathan is the strongest Eikon? (Excluding Bahamut and Odin and possibly Ifrit)

[@AvengingFossilx]

I saw this fight as Clive having a second chance at saving Joshua. The parallels were obvious.

[@lsaacthecraftsman]

@@groundpounde Yeah, at least around Titan’s level

[@Zer-md2ls]

14:55 is when the awakening OST begins! FINALLY!

[@ett375]

Welp time to rank the eikon fights: 1. Bahamut - Because it's in space. 2. Titan - Feels like an asura vs wyzen fight. 3. Ultima - It's the same thing as bahamut but the dragon did it first. 4. Levi - The background is astonishing. 5. Odin - Even though I wish we have an eikon fight but the sword fight is still cool. 6. Typhon - Feeling like an asuras wrath gameplay. 7. Garuda - It's like that godzilla ps4 gameplay. 8: ifrit vs phoenix - Giving you the feeling for the upcoming bosses to have visual presentation. BONUS: Time keeper - I'm thinking this is the closest thing to ever fighting shiva as an eikon.

There are no archers in that world

[@dinorex3464]

​@Somehuy77-kp4rz Well, considering Clive succeeds in removing magic from Valisthea at the end of the game, he might as well become an archer. With no crystals and magic, there would be the need for range fighters XD

DPS check was brutal. Start with fire beam right away and you may be able to land the 3rd one in the end just in time. Meanwhile, other than obviously going ham on it, when you get pushed far away and have to dodge those water bullets, dodge forward so you get closer quicker and salvage a couple seconds.

I think I’m too low level. I’m level 90. Done everything in this video and can’t get it down like this. Also, my countdown starts before the one in this video.

[@cherishberdahl2632]

I was lvl 90 and it took me way more tries than i even wanna think about. Here's what I did: immediately use spitflare & move in on him. Getting off as many bursts as you can is ideal (hitting square a few times and then triangle will set off the burst but it's honestly annoying cause ifrit plays like a mf dark souls character) and then you actually wanna precision dodge and let attacks almost land instead of move out of them completely so you can get that extra counter DMG in. Other than that just pray. YOU CANNOT GET HIT BY ANYTHING IT IS AN IMMEDIATE LOSS, YOU GET HIT BY ANYTHING EVEN ONCE AND YOU'VE FAILED, IT'S SO ANNOYING IDK MAYBE IM WRONG BUT LOSING PRECIOUS SECONDS TO HAVING TO GET UP AGAIN MEANS YOU'RE NOT DOING DMG. Jumping helps with mobility & makes him move just a bit faster imo or maybe it was a mental thing for me idk lol THAT'S ALL I GOT, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

[@copesupply]

Interactive cutscenes in games are when the player needs to follow a sequence of QTEs. When you start dodging, healing, and attacking that is actual gameplay. The only time XV and XVI have interactive cutscenes in their Leviathan fights is during transition and finisher. When it comes to art direction, I definitely like the conceptual contrast that is present in XV, where it's a harmony of medieval and futurist themes. But... I'm not really a fan of a boy band lead beating an eikon.

[@4hisglory864]

Wow amazing

[@cl20v87]

This fight is so weird. The perception for some of Leviathans attacks (especially in the first phase) it’s so hard to tell how and when to dodge. And the water attacks in phase 4 I still can’t see WHATS hitting me and when to dodge. The water makes it confusing when he hits and when he doesn’t. Also the fights kinda a drag all around, he does the same moves over n over, your given just enough time to get in a combo, rinse repeat. I was hoping for something akin to the Omega or Titan fight

[@nilegames1956]

I’ve failed that DPS check now 75 times. Had to finally just give up and say I guess won’t be finishing this DLC sadly

[@patriciamuller8708]

I really like this Dlc but this fight is just frustrating (on hard mode). If you don't do exactly what is done in this video, you will lose. And it takes way too long, especially if you have to try 10, 20 times for each phase 😩

Theee Toughest Eikon I ever faced...Respect Leviathan 🫱🏿‍🫲🏻💯

[@melvinokpala6063]

I’m guessing 3 spitflares is needed to win the 3rd phase

[@lenin5270]

I am level 87 final fnatsy mode for some reason he hits tusnami every time phase 3

[@xLudovic]

Same.

[@marlonevos5602]

Same anyone solution?

[@marlonevos5602]

Got the dlc 100% this morning solution for this boss is use combos to faster charge both attack good luck guys

[@aleksandragora6528]

Make sure to use your cooldowns as soon as they are able. Remember the combo 3x square 2x triangle. If you see „backdraft finish” after a combo you’re doing it right. More points if you do it in the air. After he pushes you away use wildfire to get back, don’t waste the precious seconds. Good luck!

Such a tough fight but sooooo satisfying. Dare i say, one of my favorite boss fights ever?

[@windroseofficial4461]

I can never get through phase 3. It doesn't give you enough time at all and even when I deal constant damage and as much as I could muster, it's never enough 🥴🙄🥺

[@kevingame3198]

This fight reminds me of beisht from genshin impact

[@Jimmymatthewb]

Well, ive been on final fantasy mode at level 105 for the past 6 months, so i sure as hell wasn't going back to my action mode save when the dlc came out. On FF mode this is impossible, and it's the only way i can play it. I think i will never be able to beat this game now. The fuk

[@gerrygramozis544]

Phase 3 has made me lose a ci trilled in frustration. Abdurd battle.

Dash to the side (and a bit to the back just to be safe)

[@Exodia_99]

I give up try to dodge it. Just tank it with 6 stacks of healing item lol

[@IMZ44]

I wouldn't say I like this fight. Breaking his shield is the most stressful thing yet.

[@fumeking701]

Did they add a new ending for the main game?

[@SuperSonicBoy2001]

Unfortunately no

[@GOHST13ly]

Of course not. How do you expect these garbage devs to fix their garbage game?
