The Updated Guide to The Binding Coil of Bahamut. Turns 1-5

[@pietje54]

Just came here to confirm for those wondering: even after the stat squish of patch 6.0 this is still possible to solo.

[@molagbal6944]

The Epic Echo it gives you makes it more easy now too.

[@zefyrisd69]

At the very least, if you don't have enough DPS to change Twintania to her final phase before she brings in a dreadknight, it's not doable. You're stunned when the dreadknight is spawned so it will just walk to you and then you'll die. I've tried soloing it as a BLU lvel 60 and turn 1-4 were easy, but Twintania requires a ton more of DPS to change her phase fast enough, so she requires well more level.

[@TheChappieParty]

These guides are so, so helpful! I've never had a team patient enough to let me practice this content with them, so it's so cool getting to do it solo. Your guides have been really valuable and any others would be SO welcome lol

[@RikoguSnow]

Dude thank you so much for making these updated guides. I played at ARR launch and put it down after I finished 3.0 stuff. I've just come back to the game and started over with a fresh character. I'm really looking forward to going through the binding coil, never got to the final coil back in the day and refused to watch the cutscenes on youtube. Keep up the great work!

[@phillipbritton3836]

Great video! I was never able to do coils on the first came out due to school but now that I'm back in the game I want to solo it

[@keithlewis5529]

Have my character (Paladin) up to level 67 currently. Looking forward to trying this out solo in a few levels!

[@LocalFlorist]

I did it! I beat Twintania thanks to your video. Thought her dive bomb was instant death and not the fire ring. Thank you!

[@Churroization]

I just wanna say thanks so much for doing these updated guides!! I used your guides for the crystal tower and now I see you've done other ones so I'm looking forward to watching those too!

[@MicaDoesStuff]

Thanks! I have Void Ark almost complete, and I am going to be reopening my FC here in the next couple weeks and try to find a crew to tackle other content so I can continue with these updated guides and help ppl get through content. So there will definitely be more coming.

[@thetra00]

Thanks for these vids - they are great for people who just started and never did that content! thank you

[@SuikodenGR]

Man, bring back great memories when this was fresh contents 😊

[@slivingston100]

Thanks for these! As a latecomer most interested in seeing all the content, this is exactly the kind of video I was looking for 👊🏼👊🏼😎

[@bertoray5497]

Gosh, what a swell guide! Thank you.

[@KGhaleon]

This doesn't help me. When I solo her down to the point where she casts Tornado, those dreadknight enemies spawn and no matter how far away I am from them, she encases my character in some red prison and the moment they touch me I instantly die.

[@Mircea0106]

same for me. i am currently still heavensward, so my highest gear is lvl 60 shire gear (item level 270), and i cant solo her cuz of those dreadknights (tried only as warrior so far)

[@seigemotube]

Tnx, I try this content with full gear 500 aprox and no problem doing solo. I love the story and agree with you is the best raid of the game. I’d like to see a remake of the raid, so people can come back

[@Explosion_Mage]

im stuck on free trial and really want to be able to do this raid but i can’t make a party or go above lv60 to solo this which sucks urgh

[@vixlarue3820]

How do you counter her stun? Had no problem on level 70 MNK until the part where she stuns me and I don't even have the chance to kill the Dreadknight before it oneshots me.

[@NaitomeIya]

Eyeing to do turns 1-5 unsynced using a DNC in Astronomy tomestone gear. Leggoooooo! Thanks for the guide. Then I'm eyeing to do turn 1, 2 and 5 synced with willing FCmates to see if I can get the illumination module materials.

[@viciousinu4001]

ok i just beat turn 5, and twintania is even easier now, i went in SAM and didnt hit any phase. good video!

[@Subsistence_Sasquatch]

I really appreciate these guides to get a general idea of this Raid and what to expect. Is there any, fairly recently, synced guides out there? I think I'd enjoy these fights more that way with a team, though, I know the older guides are a bit dated due to changes over the past 5+yrs.

[@fandaniel598]

If you're doing it synced then it really doesn't matter if the guide is recent or not because you won't be able to skip mechanics. Try taking a look at MTQ Capture. She's got guides for everything going right back to ARR.

[@tjreed7797]

I tried to use duty finder while on free trial 3 times for 30 minutes each but now I think I'll wait till I can do it solo whenever I get the full game

[@jkazos]

Wait, you can attack the dreadknight that's coming to one-shot you? I thought you couldn't and so that made it unsoloable unless you have enough dps to skip that part.

[@MicaDoesStuff]

It's been like this for awhile. I was soloing this for the crafting items back when I was 70, so it's been at least that long. I had always gone in with a group in the 50s/60s days when we handled it as intended.

[@zachy888]

thank you for these I wanted to do these largely for the lore I know I can watch cut scenes on KZbin but it's just not the same for me when I haven't actually done them.

[@sebastianleiva9278]

turn 5 is actually decently difficult when playing sync full pary.

[@pcgamingeconomico3057]

back then i was very proud of my twintania sword on my paladin

[@AdiosSalvi]

I did this back in the day legit came back recently a little sad to know this content is so old the msq skips alot of old raids but don't blame the devs.

[@ArslanianDithart]

Great stuff keep it up!

[@trundenthebad]

Is this no longer doable solo? Cause after the ultimate and then twister, I get stunned and then 1 shot. Any help?

[@MicaDoesStuff]

This is still soloable. You just need to keep moving during Twisters or you will die from the one that spawns under you. You can also see them on the ground so if you also need to watch where you are running or...well...kaboom!

[@trundenthebad]

@@MicaDoesStuff sorry, I wasn’t quite clear. The ad kills you because it stuns you and one shots you. How do I avoid that?

[@coolguy10000000]

Spent over 2 hours on turn two on min ilvl and still lost ;_;

[@alfofoGMS]

holy!!! I remember having so much fun (and struggling) with my static on T5 and T6 (rafflesia?) lol. It's funny it's all soloable now. I'm gonna run through these when I get max level.

[@MicaDoesStuff]

T5 was crazy back in the day. But so much fun. I definitely think Coil was the best of the 8 mans

[@SkullMajora991]

BEATO_ T9S isn’t soloable. I think it’s duoable, though?

[@MicaDoesStuff]

@@SkullMajora991 turn 9 is soloable on most jobs, you just need to be able to push dps, i can do it on dnc but not whm for instance, just put out a second coil guide :)

[@Touchit344]

Will the ADS Illuminant drop when soloing?

[@nestorjdiazrodriguez9461]

How do you counter death sentence? Literally the only think that gets me on solo lol.

[@MicaDoesStuff]

What level are you going in on? At 80 death sentence barely scratches me. Just ran it again a couple times to confirm and neither death sentence nor the debuff it gives caused any significant damage. Twister and divebombs are the only big threats at 80 that I can find.

[@fatbro7283]

so, is this doable before 70? rn I'm 67 WAR item lvl 270

[@KingRabid]

video start @ 2:23

[@RamdomSpaceMarine]

What class would you recommend to solo this at lvl 70 bc I’m free trial user so this is definitely on my bucket list of things to do

[@MicaDoesStuff]

Sorry for the late reply. I am actually hard at work at geting new videos made lol. Any tank will do, esp war, but I was able to do these on a fully geared red mage when I did them.

[@RamdomSpaceMarine]

@@MicaDoesStuff thank you bro for helping me out I really appreciate it

[@heresfranky4702]

Raiders and Content creators should promote this content synced much more, the housing items available from Coil are still some of the best, but now so rare they go for like 5 million gil.

[@CirillaXinXneon]

You say it's easy, but your putting out WAY more damage than me.

[@kagome1303]

Can do turn one unsynced as summoner lv71, but it's too bad can't farm current moogle tomestone event doing it unsynced

[@MicaDoesStuff]

Right. Man would that be amazing.

[@chloe5886]

Hi! I’m new to the game and am about to hit 60 on my PLD, should I wait for 70 or just go for it now and try get a duo.

[@MicaDoesStuff]

It will certainly be more challenging and you may need a couple more ppl to finish it, but its definitely doable.

[@chloe5886]

@@MicaDoesStuff ok thank you for letting me know!

[@TrulyWildWitch]

Thank you!

[@bardsama7081]

Damn I was worried about Twintania but she just died so quickly that she didn't even change phase...

[@MicaDoesStuff]

ikr its insane how fast you can take her down these days

[@lp1spiritguidance577]

Gonna solo with either my maxed samurai or gunbreaker

[@callmeobsequious]

I don't think I'm a high enough level to solo these yet, but maybe I'll run it with one of my fellow FC members X)

[@itsyaboiherman]

Yo what about her stun!? Lol

[@bahamuttv]

I am new to the game if you go in at lvl 80 or even 70 do you still get the raid title and the loot?

[@MicaDoesStuff]

idk about titles, but you do get the loot. There is at least 1 crafting item you cannot get from turn 13 unless you go in synced, but otherwise you should still get everything like weapons, armors, and other crafting items.

[@bahamuttv]

@@MicaDoesStuff thank you for the reply i appreciate the info

[@viciousinu4001]

im going in solo and 1st time ever, hope this video works lol

[@avelinevarlineau7123]

This was quite entertaining, thx :-)

[@alexgolf96]

Can I duo this with my friend we're level 65 im Sam he's Machinist

[@MicaDoesStuff]

I honestly have not done this in the 60s since heavensward. But I will say, possibly if you have someone who can heal too. Some of the turns would be very difficult without heals and you may see additional mechanics that are not covered here since they are normally skipped. But they are easily solod on some jobs at 70, so no reason not to give it a try! If you do it, let me know.

[@AlleroseActual]

At what lowest level could you duo this content? Im a new player, just unlocked darkknight with a 50+warrior

[@MicaDoesStuff]

You can do it at 50 if you have a party. But there will be significantly more mechanics.

[@AlleroseActual]

@@MicaDoesStuff could i duo at 70? With a tank and healer?

[@MicaDoesStuff]

@@AlleroseActual oh yes that shouldn't be much of a problem at all. I could solo these at 70 on rdm. It may take some practice of course. But you should definitely be able to do it

[@loading2463]

I can't understand how people know what to do when enter these dungeons for the first time specially with crystal tower. Is there something I'm not reading?

[@MicaDoesStuff]

Some of the telegraphed mechanics we have seen many times before so we know how to handle them. SE uses the same markers for similar mechanics. Like the stack marker is always the same, as is the turn away and the run away markers. So if you run a lot of dungeons or raids, reacting to them becomes second nature. Outside of that even us most seasoned players still need to learn something new. For instance, I died so many times my first run of Delubrum Reginae, I lost count (and a whole lot of mettle lol). But that is also why I do these sort of videos. Just because I know the mechanics well, doesn't mean everyone does, so I try to help. Like the song says "look to those who walked before, to lead those who walk after" :)

[@loading2463]

@@MicaDoesStuff that's awesome, this video sure helped me.

[@debrucey]

What about doing it minimum ilvl tho?

[@MicaDoesStuff]

That is a whole different set of videos. I would love to do them with min ilvl again

[@FatalFatalisFtFts]

Is it possible to clear this solo at level 60?

[@MicaDoesStuff]

Maybe a few of thee easier turns, but twintania will still eat you alive most likely.

[@zarhun7]

I am 80 dragon with 510 gear exarch will do this solo for story extra lore. 7 weeks been playing ff14 so new player. My msq all clear and ready for end walker. Will take some nice screenshots in coils of bahamut. Any cool minions or mounts that drop here. Need to unlock lot of side content yesterday I unlocked 4 arr dungeons 2 from heavenward. Lvl 60 I can solo not super easy but I can do it. I tried lvl 70 challenging kill Yotsyuju primal 7% hp I took before I died solo lol. Was for fun

[@MicaDoesStuff]

No minions or mounts drop from the Coils, however you do get a minion after you complete the questline as a achievement award. But coil has some amazing glams and drop items you can use to make dyable versions of them. Not to mention the incredible story.

[@zarhun7]

@@MicaDoesStuff nice working on that on turn 3 now coils of bahamut.

[@pixelKnight-ed7dm]

How would someone go about unlocking this/ these raids? Just hit lvl 53 and I have no idea where they are

[@figobudiwan3422]

First you need to unlock and complete hard ifrit,garuda and titan which you can get from talking to thancred papalymo and ysholta respectively, after that a series of quest by urianger will appear, primal awakening is what you looking for,hope this helps

[@Th3Crazy]

How do you unlock this?

[@Erroratu]

Once you finish the 1st main quest, go back to your old HQ at Vesper Bay and talk to people there. You'll have to fight hard versions of primals first before unlocking the raid quest

[@MicaDoesStuff]

To add to what Erroratu said, you speak to Urianger at the Waking Sands and he will give you a quest called "primal awakenings", which will unlock this raid series. It should unlock after 2.0 msq "The Ultimate Weapon" and the ifrit, garuda and titan hard modes are completed.

[@shawn14isme]

need the min iLvl sync and no echo guide.

[@fandaniel598]

So a regular guide then? Min iLvl just means that you can't cheese the fight on account of not being able to out gear it; everything else is the same. Maybe you should learn what min iLvl actually is instead of just regurgitating things you've heard from Asmon or Rich.

[@Masenken]

Caduceus = Ka-doo-see-us

[@Maric18]

aw i was looking for an updated guide for doing it minimum il

[@fandaniel598]

Oh great...another WoW tryhard. You don't need an updated guide for min iLvl; ANY regular guide will do. Playing on min iLvl doesn't change the mechanics, it just means that you can't cheese it by being over geared. It's exactly the same as when the raid came out, which makes every guide viable with the exception of solo guides. There's no way that you didn't come across one before you saw this video. Gotta get that flex in, right? Even though it's meaningless on account of the fact that anyone who's been around for more than 5 minutes has already done it.
