If anyone has the perfect strat for first tethers, please share! I've looked at dozens of them and had a play around with trying to find a simpler version myself, but I still think there must be a better one out there.

Simplest (braindead) reduction I've come up with is: Green Boss+Cards: Yellow to wall, Blue perpendicular to Boss Green Boss+Inter: Yellows to corners, Blues perpendicular to wall Safe spot = Boss Blue Boss+Cards: All to wall* Blue Boss+Inter: All to corners Safe spot = Yellow flanks * N/W yellow away from NW corner for uptime
@evanbrydon3763 Жыл бұрын
So basically, Green Boss = Yellow pom away from Boss, Blue pom perpendicular to Boss, and Blue Boss = All poms away from Boss (with the optional tweak to Blue Boss+Cards for uptime)
@evanbrydon3763 Жыл бұрын
I like your Green+Inter solve with the Yellow poms moving perpendicular towards middle, to maintain uptime on boss!

I remember it took my group over an hour during day 1 blind prog to realize you had to be moving during ice dash in order to not get frozen we kept thinking it was distance based or something

yeah same here, took an entire instance for us to figure it out. our tank just jitters constantly and kept doing it right on accident, and we were so confused as to why he would never get frozen when all of the rest of us would lol

There's literally multiple prior bosses that do this.... Oftentimes it's accompanied by a skill that puts a fire debuff on you, where if you take any actions or move, you take huge damage. Forcing you to pay attention.

This was the first “hard” content I’ve done in the game completely blind, and after some hours we finally downed the boss. It was incredibly fun brainstorming and making our own strats for this boss.

I'm pretty sure that the healer will always get targeted by Slippery Sloap during Fresh Puff 3. Every pull I've been targeted by it. So the melee can stay at the boss so they can keep their uptime while the healer runs off to the other side

My group and I have been focusing on this ourselves, like learning it as we go before we look up anything. I found this just to get an answer about the tethers as that has been our wall with Silkie. I just confirmed what our question was with tethers and it's helped with us figuring out how to handle them ourselves! Thank you so much for a very lovely set up guide to show mechs! It's helped greatly as a visual learner.

For the slippery soap after fresh puff 2 (at 9:37 in the video), i never saw the blue version. It has always been the green or the yellow one during dozens of pulls, with multiple groups. I don't think that it's coincidence, it seems to me that the blue version is meant for specific mechanics (e.g. during fresh puff 1 and fresh puff 3), the rest of the time it would be either green or yellow (and usually when it's green, the next one is yellow, and vice versa)

There's a contingency for Fresh Puff 4 if some puffs weren't baited correctly, you should have lb2 at that point so you can tank lb and it'll last through the next total wash and could save a pull granted you didn't lose too much dps from earlier deaths or downtime. the damage down is actually very tame. Does not work if the puffs explode.

Two things: the cross lighting effect is a nice callback to Crono Trigger, I thought was cool. Second, the jumping thing for the ice attack can animation lock you into the effect, I found it much easier to just start running right as the the cast bar is finishing. You will stay until the stack and you will be well out of the snapshot- as that snapshot is really stingy
