Dawntrail Extreme 1 Guide

This is a guide to the trial 'Worqor Lar Dor Extreme' (Valigarmanda Extreme) in Final Fantasy XIV.
I know Valigarmanda was revealed in the media tour, but for anyone who hasn't been keeping up with that, I don't want to spoil anything.

Welcome back Hector! Nice to have you back

[@HectorHectorson]

Good to be back.

[@obliviona1]

the little squish that the circles do when jumping is very important thank you for including it

[@ngwoo]

Perfect way to illustrate jumping instead of specific movements

[@chernobyl169]

Can we just take a few moments to appreciate the jump in quality in these videos

[@Theheadless1858]

Yay you are back! I was a little concerned there for a minute. Your format really helps me in ways other content creators don’t

[@EFafnir]

I think he was gone because he was helping create Tessan Twintails UCOB guide

[@natchuralone1806]

I definitely smiled real big when I saw a Hector Lecture. Your guides work so much better for my brain than any other ones. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do ❤

[@wojciechwozniak2409]

PF now: Watch Mr Happy guide PF Tomorrow: Hector Guide

True. I like MrHappy, but sometimes he rambles and goes off script.

[@zayunaheimdell1317]

so many better guides and strats and Hectors why do you all flock to him so badly?

[@ksadiablo]

Thanks Hector and welcome back!

[@vielara]

Another fantastic guide, welcome back!

[@oltro15]

The fact you cleared, then learned the fight well enough to document it and then edited this video the day I caught up with the story is insane

[@hythrain]

Welcome back, Hector, and thanks for another amazing guide! Gonna be starting prog on this right now!

[@Ihealwounds]

Just got my clear thanks to your video! Glad to see your back.

[@RainDropUp]

Fantastic breakdown, thank you for going point-by-point with such clarity!

[@harrishoin7950]

Looks like a fairly intuitive fight, glad to see your guides back Hector

[@veganatanael]

Thank you for the amazing guide, awaiting everkeep

[@ArtemRyoshiEN]

Welcome back Hector!! Another great guide!

[@leffed2109]

I have only done the first normal trial (am leveling my crafters and doing side-quests etc) but I wanted to say how happy it made me seeing a guide from you again! Really appreciate your work ❤

[@merahjam_Buu]

Just got my clear from starting fresh in just 2 hours. Thanks Hector

[@yaeger_1779]

glad to have you back!

[@Mooglehulk]

MOOGLE SMASH! THANKS FOR AWESOME GUIDE KUPO HAPPY YOUR BACK!

[@squishy9178]

We missed you! Welcome back!

[@yami4593]

Cleared thanks to this guide, thank you!

[@sweepingtime]

Thanks again for the guide and the nice diagrams.

[@frei757]

Hector. I love you bro. Bless you and your guides ! you're the absolute GOAT

[@Iwinfiltrator]

i find this format easier to understand than the chaos of in game footage using freestyled strategy's like most other videos

[@cassianpicaro]

my favourite FFXIV strat youtuber is back, all is well again \o//

[@punipun28]

in my DC we might do it differently, but I always watch Hector Guide to better understand the mechanic, cuz Hector always explain it in details, also nice touch of cat video on the end. I stayed cuz of the cats 😻😻😻

[@ChimerahHanssen]

Thank you, got the mount on first try ❤

[@aj4sure125]

Yoshi-P really took those tanking complaints seriously..

[@kumoko3728]

what do you mean its not even that hard to survive that buster a sage literally just presses panhaima and you only need to pop a 40% mit

[@aj4sure125]

​​@@kumoko3728It's a joke my guy :') (also kinda missed the point of my comment)

[@ye9945]

@@aj4sure125 FFXIV players in a nutshell. Fragile Egos everywhere

[@aj4sure125]

@@ye9945 lmaoo exactly. Tank is my role in XIV and while my comment is a joke, it's also in regards to the fact they actually made the tankbusters interesting in the game. No shit they're easy to mitigate 😂 that's not what I'm saying. The whole tank swap back and forth while requiring both the tank and the rest of the party to face towards the boss to survive is a very interesting twist on tankbusters and I commend them for that!

[@PKrazorleaf]

@@kumoko3728 Its a stage boss, pretty sure thats what he meant. Still no tank responsibility again.

[@MrT3ik0u]

3:17 Lmao i love that bouncy animation 🤣

[@resniz8980]

Welcome Back Hector🙌

[@JustCallMeCatch]

PLEASE DONT EVER LEAVE AGAIN (Welcome back, I've really missed your guides)

[@AikiAimi1]

Ty for your guide I just manage to beat EX1 today and we manage to beat it 2 more times after that (I'm playing AST H1 position)

[@terribleawful]

this guide is so awesome and makes things so easy to understand! now if only i could build up the courage to actually get in there and try it lol.. it would be my first EX

[@Nuinwing]

Gonna get in there today as a first timer, am nervous as I main healer so really worried that I end up floor tanking a lot and causing wipes.

[@terribleawful]

@@Nuinwing you got this !!

[@serafina_snax]

welcome back! so glad to see you making guides again!

[@Drwoose]

The Man! The Legend! Welcome back!

[@REAPERV69]

GG thanks man.

[@MrCeltius]

I found that if you line up the front of its face / beak to the tower for Mountain Fire you should be behind it every time.

[@waveyTV]

Came for the guide, stayed for the cat

[@Nasc]

Welcome back king. Nice to see you're still here enjoying the game

[@willieoelkers5568]

Ugh, gonna try this as my first EX sometime in the next few days, feels like prepping for an open note exam.

[@raykinney-frazier3667]

Thank you so much for coming back. We’ve missed you 😭

[@luyorin8891]

Thank you for a guide, you are the best as always ❤

[@Squidniii]

ty hector im bricked🧱👍

[@ShoruG]

I was quite literally looking for a guide for this fight by you maybe an hour ago. So glad you have one up now 🤣

[@thelurker8169]

Boss arrow for spikecycle is so useful wow

[@LotusBoi1989]

first time getting into ex's when they're current, and holy crap. just the guide kinda broke my brain a little

[@credulousmaister5530]

Welcome back Hector!!

[@jameslockwood8840]

Perfect guide, got my clear today! Thanks/subbed

[@Spiral6SM]

The Return of the King

[@chaossprite8979]

Welcome back Hector! Love your guides! Thank you for all your hard work

[@ivangiraldo1577]

Hector the goat

[@TaeSikCha]

I'm so going to fuck this up

[@RaphaelDDL]

Thank you for the guide. 8:12 - 8:19 I really dislike the "attack feather 1" because the second is there beside the team, is far from the aoe damage, no couple secs downtime waiting for last aoe to drop. But doesn't matter if I suggest, braindead pf people will follow 1:1 , zero thoughts rofl

[@user-su4kv1tt2g]

Thank god you’re back!

[@rrsekai]

my goat

[@engweimin]

Wew fast game, thanks for the guide as always man

[@markgunn1136]

Thank you. Great guide.

[@adamroberts174]

You pop up in my recommended Videos feed now Hec!

[@DoctorPlato]

Honestly the best guides.

[@luxtrigo1900]

Finally!

[@AikiAimi1]

Your guide is very helpful I will be sure to memorize it before try on dawntrail extreme raid

[@MasterGaming234]

Glad to have you back for DT.

[@Futura94]

is not random what you get first it depends on the first sword on the side whats killed

[@jenzki657]

yea at least on light server hector is the partyfinder play strat. when hector published it party finder explouded with hector strats. thank you, i also cleared because good explain. i m waitting for the second trial guide.

[@Turret0pera]

Sweet guide but I'll never get over how you pronounce stuff I'll never forget Azdaja and now this

[@Stone_Stronghold]

at 8:28 please do a follow up video and tell people to hit one of the feathers in the back instead it lets melee get easier up time without greeding the proximity damage and just cuts down on risk of accidental deaths from trying to get uptime.

[@kendojunson7971]

Nice guide. Ty for this!

[@tatlxtael2303]

“It’s only the first EX how hard can it b- oh… oh this is gonna be fun in pf, those ice stars are so precise”

[@inekd]

Just get good markers, those markers in the guide are semi useful, but I’ve seen people use markers that have marker A and B as exact safespot for ice-laser aoes and also as a guideline for ice explosions

[@bebekkurus]

Welcome back King!

[@kyeda]

Okay you're using Fox's waymarks, good steal.

[@NeFlorence]

The GOAT is back

[@yukijin12]

Amazing job on the little graphic details! I noticed during ice debuff you moved some dots running and some dots jumping to illustrate either way is effective.

[@TheChaosGear]

Our lord and Savior HECTOR is BACK!!

[@thattallmexican6900]

Welcome back! Love your guides😀

[@arieltorres3594]

The goat is back

[@wolverestskyrider]

What sucks for healers for the safe spot in learning parties is, when you spot heal you lose the target so you don't know where the arrow is ^.^ So you have to assume other people are in the right spot.

[@bradencanning8149]

what does he mean fourth lane from boss at 9:30 ?

[@kamgigari9921]

The telltale way to solve that mech is to first look on both sides of the boss to find the row where there are no electric sigils on either side. Then, you have to make sure you're on a float tile; that'll be safe spot! Hector used the 4th row of from Valigarmanda as an example - you can see how there are no sigils on either side there :>

[@danieldiaz8277]

You are back!!!

[@lucastecchio3235]

So happy you're back! Thanks!

[@alchalant4663]
