FFXIV Shadowbringers Snowcloak Guide for All Roles

[@Doublew2474]

WoW refugee going through MSQ for the first time, these videos have been a life saver! Great to see your still making them :D

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Glad to hear it. Welcome to Eorzea my dude. Lala punting is down the hall and to the left.

[@fridayfoot2289]

Been following your guides for a week now. If this is a return with all-new guides, you are a god.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

My wife got a chuckle out of this one. Then I turned her into a newt.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

She's since gotten better.

[@muurl]

Your videos alleviate so much anxiety. I always add your name when searching for the dungeons, your videos are great. Thank you!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

That's great to hear! The first part, not the name thing - but the name thing is cool :D

[@CG89119]

First time mmo player here. Running paladin and these guides have been a big help. So thanks from me and the randoms I get grouped up with who have to follow a sprout tank into battle.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Bro I'll let you in on a little secret, now that my returner time has ended, I am a sprout tank as well! :D I guess they changed the sprout requirements at some point, feels kinda funny.

[@farouq1983]

OMG I'll do the dungeon again as a tribute of your auspicious return 🤩😜

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

yeaahhh boiiiii

[@sambailey3875]

Glad to see you doing guides. They really are my favorite

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

[@QuiteLunacy]

You return and it is the very dungeon I need! Thank you.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem 🥳

[@mattvitalis789]

Thank you so much for continuing to make these. I owe every bit of tanking knowledge I have in FFXIV to you.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Yikes, I hope you know how to tank then :D

[@palea_alt]

New player to the genre as a whole. Your videos helped me SO much!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Hey that's great. I hope you're enjoying your time here!

[@Marvel101-t2j]

Simple easy instruction guide. I thank you for making these. Being a new player these are fantastic. I watch each one before a fight.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Great, I'm glad to be of help!

[@Primusaur]

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Huh. That's what I said to krispy kreme guy.

[@atrope]

Welcome back. Thanks for the guide!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Thanks, and you're welcome!

[@PicayuneTown]

Wanted to thank you for all your FFXIV guides! I've been chugging through ARR and they've been instrumental in keeping me from panicking.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Hey that's great! I'm glad to hear the guides have been so helpful. Keep it up!

[@b0namEEEk]

Love your guides. Been using them for every dungeon and trial so far. Quick and to the point and covers everything a newbie like myself needs to know. Thank you.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Thanks Nick! It's good to know they're hitting the mark. If they ever stop, let me know!

[@tittlemanscrest420]

These videos are SO helpful to us sprouts! Cheers!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem!

[@transhawke]

your guides are so helpful as someone new to both ffxiv and tanking, thank you so much!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem, glad to know they're useful!

[@ElectroTone]

He returns! 🥰 Nice guide, as always.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Nice to hear it, thanks!

[@gutsofmud]

Doing MSQ again. Great excuse to re-watch one of your succinct guides. Thanks mate 👍

[@TwistedKarma]

Thank you so much for these, learning to tank all these and your videos along with another content creator have been a godsend!!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem! It's good to hear these guides have been of use for your tanking endeavours 👍

[@L0STMYMRBLES]

Glad to see you put out another XIV vid man.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Thanks MRBLES. One day I hope you'll find them.

[@TheAtomicDom]

These guides are fantastic! Stick with it mate!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Thanks my dude. I will attempt to do so 👍

[@seanarmstrong76]

[@iamthestormthatisapproachi5349]

Your guides have helped me so much, appreciate you.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem, glad to help!

[@morgancollins1863]

these vids have helped me in every dungeon/raid ive been in, thank you for helping a noobie to not be so terrible :3

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

If you don't die at least once, have you ever truly lived? That's why I always make sure to cause at least 1 wipe before we clear 🧠

[@Kefka_Reborn]

Might wanna add that the humans at the end can be stunned during their dragon's blood cast.

[@nctrn07]

Thanks, just got back to FFXIV and I had to do this to progress the story.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No worries, welcome back.

[@itsmandyy]

Thanks for the guide! :) it was really helpful

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem, good to know!

[@luminoussun]

thanks for the videos they are very helpful

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No problem, thanks for letting me know :)

[@vonbrewskie9361]

Thank you brother!

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Np!

[@SladeBallard]

thanks for the guides, duty support isn't available for 3.0 and 4.0 duties yet and I'm trying to do the best I can but people still laugh at you for making mistakes as a first timer, I'm considering dropping this game until DS is available for all duties

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

If anyone laughs at you for failing a mechanic when you're learning, tell them I say they're a stinky poopoo head and they can fight me after school.

[@bergess2296]

late to the party. but great to watch your guides since I dont want to mess up mechanics as the tank ♥

[@MrMario4president]

I'm a bit confused, has this fight been changed recently? In my version of the Fenrir fight, the three icicles drop not at players but at triangular positions around the boss, and create circular AOEs, not line AOEs. I looked up a guide to try and find what indicates which icicle is the "safe" one, as two of the three detonate and freeze people trying to stand behind them.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

A lot of dungeons were updated & reworked in 6.1. There's a good chance this had changes too so the information might not be so accurate anymore unfortunately. At least all of the changes I have noticed have been in making the fights/dungeons even easier so at least it shouldn't be too hard hopefully.

[@jrod66ify]

Thanks bud. You make me less anxious to bring my shitty sprout bard into group content.

[@TheMixisHere]

Where are the spicy 2016 rage faces? Also thank you for the amazing guides, you are deadass carrying me through these dungeons.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

Don't worry, they're still around. Got a whole bag o' them bad bois. And no worries my dude, glad to be of assistance!

[@darudesandstorm7002]

went in blind (as ive done for every instance so far, always watch your videos afterwards to actually understand what was going on) and had some mvp use a 'grab' move to pull my ass behind the icicle before the boss bit me lol.

[@pran7003]

so how do we get to the athrerite there and find the passage ?

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

This dungeon is part of the main story quest. Simply playing through those quests will lead you to unlocking it.

[@nooneshouldknowme206]

did this the 1st time as a tank tfw you know you're doing something wrong but you don't know what exactly is the wrong thing and all party members are Japanese OTL ( they were telling me about something, turned out it was the snowballs thing lol obviously I'm not used to rotating any boss around as a tank so I was completely clueless untill this video ;D ) but idk why I don't remember seeing any snowballs when I was doing this dungeon as another role OTL maybe I was paying too much attention on "don't kill the small guy, kill the big guy" thing anyways thank you for the guide 👍

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

No worries. I see a lot of groups just brute force this boss these days (which is still slower) but ignoring the Snowball mechanic is not that uncommon - though I feel people just don't know how it works.

[@Ionixification]

So thats why Fenrir bit me.

[@LianaSunburster]

So im watching this now, after being told I was tanking this fight wrong repeatedly by a party member, which led to me just quitting as I was getting overly stressed out and struggling to cope, just to find out I was doing it right the entire damn time.

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

50% of the time I tank correctly 100% of the time.

[@honeydarlinggaming9156]

Yeah that's the issue. A lot of mechanics nowadays are just skipped or brute forced. Which sucks really.

[@Korcunu]

I'm a new player and only dungeons are delight to me in this part of the game since quests are really boring. Is story (and questing) going to be better in Heavensward and further expansions? Thx for the guide, btw :)

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

The begining of HW was a little eh but it's been some years since I did it. The back half was good though and I've liked what I've seen of Stormblood thus far.

[@ImmaPandaRawr]

Just fyi to new players watching this, it’s unfortunately outdated. Square redid this dungeon with the last 2 bosses. Completely done differently. I watched this, went in and wiped on the last boss xD he now drops 4 icicles and you have to hide behind the correct one or you get frozen and take massive damage. The yeti boss has no adds, and the snowball mechanic is different. You take massive damage but somehow I managed to heal through it all. But we didn’t do anything correct lol.

[@thepirate4262]

Missed your puns...

[@TomScottDoesStuff]

It's amusing to know that there are people who actually appreciate the awfulness I manage to sneak in :D
