Labyrinth of the Ancients (Crystal Tower) Raid Guide - Part Two!

[@agidyne9676]

That is actually A LOT to remember. I just unlocked this raid just a minute ago too.

[@JosefdeJoanelli]

Same here. I'm finding the idea of raids to be incredibly intimidating lol

[@6feetorapunchtotheshmeat225]

​@@JosefdeJoanelli tank here. I'm on the verge if tears :)

[@rachaelfennie4503]

I thought I was being a good first time tank watching this before so I could be prepared. Then I get in there and I literally had a panic attack because I couldn’t tell what was going on at all and there were flashing lights all over the place but we won and I didn’t die because I hid behind the asteroid so I’m just gonna say that you’re the reason we won 😂

[@viridianloom]

I tried paying attention but then I got distracted by the player named "Hugh Jass"

[@zactheninja]

The multiple class perspectives...awesome.

[@JustAIrrerSuchti]

"The other Tanks can pretend to DPS the boss." I love that guiding/commentary xD In general, nicely done andnot that hard to understand the strategies :3

[@SilverxWingx]

I thought i heard her wrong the first time but nop 😂

[@ausgamer9341]

I'm finally getting into raids now and have unlocked it in the duty roulettes. So these 2 clips really helped a lot, cheers mate👍😉

[@spencerg83]

I like going back and re-watching these guides, much like when I go back and play FFXIV. The UI certainly has undergone some changes from when these raids were first released!

[@JDxxxxxx]

New player here level 59 monk just unlocked and ran this and it was the easiest thing ever after learning the basics from your video thanks. Nobody should be afraid of running this now.

[@McPhailure]

"Other tanks can pretend to DPS" =( lol great guide though

[@Draec]

Thanks for the vid. I watched this in the background as I tanked it for the very first time lol. Last boss was easier than I expected it to be!

[@Ghostface3200]

Thank you making this video. I can't count how many times players blame the wipe on the Vasago fight on bombs reaching the middle, where were none. It's the tanks that don't coordinate and end up tanking the Vasagos too close!

[@ardentdfender4116]

I'm new to game. Just found your channel. I got this quest up soon but not quite as i'm on the quest with Cid. But between vid one and this, just too damn much to remember honestly lol. I'll surely have to re-watch it again 2-3 times.

[@michaelp5694]

It's so amazing to have you back! :)

[@doramas1079]

Seems pretty straightfoward, thx. Compared to what i've to heal, super easy...

[@phervos]

I unlocked it yesterday. Thanks for the video! It sure will help me a lot on my first run

[@Burnaki]

Your videos rock! I laughed way harder than i should have at "don't skip leg day" lmao

[@WaltRBuck]

"Kill him until he's dead!" Hot Shots.. lol

[@MamaSymphonia]

It's amazing how much harder these raids used to be. Nowadays groups just breeze through this raid, bosses are usually dead before any mechanics come into play.

[@Void0420]

I hope thats true eek lol

[@achilles_wiggen]

Thanks for the guide!

[@comedim]

Just unlocked this and I feel like it's going to be hard to remember who's who in what team.

[@dascarecrow9502]

Same just unlocked it and it's required to progress the new lol this shit giving me anxiety😁

[@I_Crit_My_Pants]

@@dascarecrow9502 Literally just came back and in the same situation. I'm not so much concerned about the mechanics themselves, they seem simple enough if everyone is coordinated properly, what concerns me is the possible lack of coordination in a PuG lol.

[@exodore2000]

I just got this as part of MSQ and have to finish it now.

[@Void0420]

@@exodore2000 me to im so scared lol

[@exodore2000]

@@Void0420 There are 3 24 man raids the first 2 aren't all that bad, the last one is a beast.

[@HohMahGawd]

Your guides are better than mr happys. I for one can't understand him he talks kind of fast, your voice is very understandable and where your videos are shorter they are more informative.

[@gabrielkross8357]

not to mention any color based mechanics are either stated wrong or completely skipped, because Happy is color blind from what I understand. Though I don't like him because he's a cocky ass. I agree that these guides are much cleaner and easier to understand, plus more accurate.

[@drewmounts1817]

Yoo, I watched this 3 times to get all the info down packed, and I just noticed "dont skip a leg day" This is why I watch your vids

[@hybridsoldier23]

Slothlord Hugh not getting on the platform in time @5:40 SMH

[@Tony_Kaku]

Holy shizer I unlocked this now after finishing Shadow Bringers msq several months ago. Super crazy is all im saiyan without spoiling!!

[@xunaethernalij1445]

Thank you!😊

[@ardentdfender4116]

One the best line ever is right towards the end.... "Kill him until he's dead". LMAO!

[@KevinCiardo]

Thanks for using my song for your video!! :)

[@cetraomnia]

I just tanked this raid for the first time. Happy to know you're supposed to keep the final boss in the center. The other tank kept pulling him to the edge and everyone wiped during the pod mechanic. The tank chewed me out for trying to correct them. So seeing this makes me feel vindicated.

[@ParasiteXX]

Similar happened to me. Told raid to keep him in middle and got chewed out. We didn't wipe that time though. Still good to hear that the rest where just idiots.

[@TheRadikarAuthor]

This video is terribly outdated. Still incredibly useful, I love MTQCapture's guides, but yeah, it's outdated. We don't keep Phlegethon (Note the name change? It's not Acheron anymore) in the center for a reason: Because we can DPS him so quickly, he will cast Ancient Flare without much indication if he's in center, making it harrowing to get back to the spots to get the shield up. We pull him towards "B" because there is a very obvious visual indication that Phlegethon will cast Ancient Flare: He must run to the center to cast it. After pulling him towards "B" and DPS-ing him, once he starts walking to center that is the indicator to RUN to your designated platforms. Admittedly, if you're running with mostly veteran players, keeping him in center isn't too much an issue because they will know when it's time to run anyways. It's helpful to newer players so they have a very obvious visual indication of when to start running back to their platforms, as well as provide people ample time to get to those platforms.

[@PolarfuchsMusicFav]

Thank you this helps immensly!

[@SeijinMahoutsukai]

"Kill him until he's dead"?

[@trickso4025]

Don't diss the protips.

[@carlunaden]

People die when they are killed remember?

[@WaltRBuck]

Made me think of Hot Shots the movie. Lol

[@theMidsizeLebowski]

It's a reference to hot shots part deux, hilarious movie from the 90s.

[@alstonsmith3924]

lol "don't skip leg day" at Acheron

[@mojomike]

been wondering what the towers were for at Behemoth bc these days nobody messes with them at all.

[@Monty0699]

Your videos are short, sweet and too the point. Thats what I think separates your videos from other's.

[@rakennavarro2557]

A lot of information to remember, fuck it gonna play it on my own way lol.

[@daninja01]

I just did this raid for the first time today an I had no idea what I was doing as PLD but I learned really fast without asking like a noob. Wish I seen this earlier :)

[@davidbrent2069]

There's nothing wrong with asking how things work. It's actually worse to not ask

[@Raven_Konaim]

Your videos are amazing! You should be paid for your work :-)

[@DragonKnight90001]

Not sure if i can handle this, is it just the 24 man raid i need to do to access heavensward or do i need to do the next one..... .... i was dreading this.........5 or so minutes later done i over reacted

[@clintonwilcox4690]

Yeah, if you get a party who knows what they're doing, many of the mechanics don't even become much of an issue.

[@joesuh7492]

Omg.. i just wanna get to Heavensward and main Mechanist.. so tired of tanking and now this raid is mandatory for msq? Wish I can just boost to heavensward

[@brandoncaldwell5940]

you are my hero hehe

[@jopo-jp]

Today, the raid mechanics are lost since we got so strong

[@irisheartt]

This is such a faceroll now all you really need to worry about is the King Behemoth's meteor and Acheron's wipe mechanic

[@GiZmozGorge]

Dude Im so not looking forward to this, it looks hella hard!

[@the_kingkiwi1453]

Don't fret. I managed to get in a good group and it was AWESOME

[@Road_to_Dawn]

If you still haven't gotten here yet, I unlocked it yesterday and it's actually REALLY easy. Although, as a WHM, I think I get the easiest job in the raid, because tanks and DPS seemed to be doing all the work lol. Still though, it's actually not as hard as it looks, and it's a lot of fun. :D

[@rappscallion3238]

"Kill him until he is dead"...Uhh, OK. ;)

[@WaltRBuck]

Hugh Jass died.

[@DennyBrown1970]

You playing this?

[@WaltRBuck]

Yeah. I started playing it again a little while ago. It's pretty fun this time around. They've changed/added a TON of things. I have a level 50 smn with level 90 gear atm. Slowly working on gear up more. I basically play it around class. Haha.

[@WaltRBuck]

My tastes in games have changed so much in the last couple years, that I have just decided to give this a chance and decide if gaming is really something I enjoy well anymore. I've been really liking the game this time around. I'm still on Lamia.

[@aquavulpez]

how long typically is the crystal tower? im worried cuz my laptop kinda only holds a charge 0f 1hr15min and i cant play with the charger plugged in or else itll crash while playing

[@RicStorm616]

in a good group, I usually do this in approx 35 minutes

[@aquavulpez]

cool thnx

[@Halsyan]

Lol the framerate back then

[@dioxideuniversal]

cube clicker imo

[@woofwoofjoey]

hahaha "don't skip leg day"

[@daninja01]

First :)
