How I Became a Double Legend in FFXIV

It was about time I made a video talking about Final Fantasy XIV's most challenging pieces of content, and that is Ultimate Raiding. See, in FFXIV, there are rankings to difficulties in fights, Extreme, Savage, and finally Ultimate. In this video, I will be showcasing my experience throughout The Weapon's Refrain Ultimate (UWU for short) and The Unending Coils of Bahamut Ultimate (UCOB for short). Keep in mind that this is not a guide, but simply a video sharing my perspective, experience, and overall opinion about these fights. Some day I will take on The Epic of Alexander Ultimate (TEA for short), and perhaps make a video about the Ultimate that almost every person loves! Thank you so much for watching, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe to the channel as it helps a ton. Have a wonderful rest of your day or night wherever you are from, and I will see you, in the next one!

After experiencing these fights, I have to say that UCOB has got to be one of the fights of all time. What about you, what is YOUR favorite fight, and why?

Good of you to include the lyrics for the titan bgm. All those who thought it’s “balalala titan” are in for a shock.

It is very difficult to tell from the beginning. Especially with focusing on your rotation and mechanics

The moment when you hit the Golden Bahamut phase and the music drops. Chills every time

Great vid always love seeing people go into ultimate content some of my personal favorite content

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! This was an awesome experience!

[@LeonLupin]

I can't wait to get into Ultimates myself someday, they look really cool and I love to work through difficult content. Congrats on the clears!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

You definitely should! and you definitely can! thank you again!

[@smol27]

Proud of you man! A job well done on completing the content and making the video!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Ayy thanks man!

[@AdiHashira]

epic video You actually inspired me to clear my first ultimate for the first time. Hanging around in twitch chat was fun during your uwu runs.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

That is awesome, I hope to see you in the ranks as legends friend!

[@luna_theraider]

Great Job! Congrats on the clears.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Thank you so much dude!

[@Th3RazieI]

Excited to see the video and hear your experience as someone who only recently cleared uwu 2x and is thinking of which ultimate to go next.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

It's always a pleasure to share and perhaps motivate people to give it a shot!

[@Th3RazieI]

I can only recommend everyone to at least try them out once and see if that kind of content is fun to a person or not

[@kiarathebrave8190]

"This video is sponsored by Bad Dra..." got me dying lmaoo congrats on your clears! I recently started progging uwu and ucob myself and I'm having a blast so far!

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Glad I got you to laugh! And that's awesome, enjoy yourself!

[@arcanaobscura3519]

Nice timing! A couple of our fc's raiders started UWU. Yesterday they managed to awaken Garuda. Sadly, I am not amongst them since I am sick atm😢

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Get well soon! And hopefully you are able to take on UWU as well!

[@TheUrbanLegend52]

Glad you spoke up Savage needing rework. Like no shame to those who like it but I rather do an ultimate than savage criterion. Criterion is rough but can be rewarding, but when your content is harder than current ultimates without giving the joy of doing one, just feels empty imo.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

I do definitely love Criterion as a piece of content, but it's not that rewarding in the end of it all, unfortunately.

Gratz on your clears Lemon Lad. Good luck on TEA! I got UWU cleared last week. It was pretty fun, definitely the most satisfying way to kill that boss. Hope I can spare the time to get UCOB/TEA done too but we'll see.

[@shawnscouten5184]

In Uwu’s defence, the untelegraphed tank busters without even a cast bar are quite nasty, particularly in titan. It was a very unique experience having tankbusters be non trivial for once.

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

They do add a lot of spice to the fight

[@BigSmusha]

What is your outro song? I love it so much.

Gooning to the dragoon glam. Grats on the double legend

head strong brother, keep on gooning. and thank you so much!

[@MoreMoon]

I forgot to ask on your first video about you modding but what shaders do you use, they look really nice

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

Oh I really appreciate that! The shaders I used are personally made, just for gameplay reasons, but the more cinematic shots were color-graded in editing

[@xSkyBoxer]

I shall await for top ultimate clear lemon :)

[@SamTheLemonBoy]

TOP shit fight okk (but maybe soon later down the line)

[@grandruby5343]

Both fights are truly great experiences and despite the jank of UCOB, it’s still one of the best fights in the game. Once I get a couple more clears on it myself, I’ll be moving to TEA to (hopefully) have it done before DT. I wish the best of luck to all ultimate raiders!

Best of luck to every single person taking Ultimates head-on!

I need to quit my job in order to prog anything. And still employed i can't exacly find static, liek ye i can but to agree with 7 random ppl to do anything at one time of a week is impossible for me. Not just ultimates but savages as well, if not for that fact id be long since legend myself or trying to become one. That's the biggest wall
