[@larsbohmer6319]

Yeah, though Azemya do be looking damn nice 👀👌

[@Konpekikaminari]

I love how the WoL's immediate response to "we are actual, genuine gods" is to draw their weapon, like 0 hesitation to throw hands with higher being also, 29:40 can we talk about the sassy side-eye Azeyma is giving Nald'thal here? it floored me

[@CrazedWhiteGaming]

Failing Scales at the end just has me hearing Thunder God screaming "AND NOW THE SCALES WILL TIP!!!"

[@cylesteasunrise3199]

Can you bring equqllimbrium?

[@ZekeRaiden]

By the way Woops: "Aglaia" (also spelled "Aglaea") is the youngest of the three Graces (or Charities), Greek goddesses representing the benevolent, bountiful aspects of divinity. The other two are Euphrosyne and Thalia. So those are very likely to be the names of the next two parts of Myths of the Realm, much as how the other two wings of Pandaemonium are likely to be Elysium and Tartarus.

[@fnerXVI]

Yeah this whole raid series and the alliance raids are giving me Greek/Roman mythology boners. I love it. It also helps I'm a huge lore nerd for games and books I like.

[@DXAshram]

If only this was right. The second raid tier was Abyssos, and the story explicitly says we bypass both Abyssos and the final level, Tartaros, during the second raid tier.

[@ZekeRaiden]

@@DXAshram I'm pretty sure the final wing is gonna be "Elysios" because of what happened in the story (no spoilers).

[@katherinestacey3421]

Well, you're right so far! The next one is Euphrosyne, and, while the second tier of Pandaemonium raids was called Abyssos, P8 is specifically in Tartarus!!

[@ZekeRaiden]

@@katherinestacey3421 Given events in Ultima Thule (no spoilers if you haven't done the Omicron tribe quests), "Elysium" is almost certain to be wrong however. I'm expecting "Erebos," "Hadeos," or "Stygios" for the final wing of Pandæmonium.

[@nicholascunningham4439]

Gods: WE ARE THE RIGHTFUL RULERS NOW WoL: *immediately squares up on literal Gods*

[@AM-sz3rr]

Oh I get it-Nald'Thal are the two guarantees in life-death and taxes....er, taxes and death for the right order.

[@GayLPer]

"Duty Finder is gonna get wrecked by this" Ironically, my first time going through this in Duty Finder... we got it first time lol

[@dazzlemasseur]

Notice how the last boss's robe ties itself when he spins. Pretty cool detail.

[@khangle6872]

Well he is god

[@meeeberperson]

I personally think Derrick is Oschon, what better cover for the god of Wanderers than adventuring.

[@Enderlinkpawnu]

I personally think the Opo Opo is Oschon, and Derrick is either an Oschon acolyte, or is just being used as an excuse.

[@ecyor0]

@@Enderlinkpawnu either way, as someone who picked Oschon during character creation, I am *very* much looking forward to how that meeting plays out.

[@pachpaints5356]

This was absolutely what I thought within like 10 minutes of meeting him and everything after just fed the theory

[@TrippyScene]

same, just the feeling u get immediately from meeting his character

[@JuicedLeaf]

Could absolutely see that being the case, everything about him screams “Odin in disguise” so going to assume they’re going to pull that from irl myths too

[@deathsythe238]

I'm happy to say my group had ZERO wipes, but many deaths. there were many points where I the RDM, our SMN, SCH, and SGE were out of mana, it was so much fun

[@LightsabreSMGN]

Exactly how my blind run went as well. I've never cancelled so many melee combos on my RDM lol

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

You know woops. It's also quite interesting that nobody has noticed this..but Byregot and his father Rhalgr are based on greek gods..while Azeyma and Nald'thal are based on Egyptian Gods. Which makes me excited to see what the other gods are based on.

[@garothegoldenknight498]

Father? But Byregot called him master.

[@GalaxiaKnightX]

@@garothegoldenknight498 He's both father and mentor.

[@nahuel3433]

If we keep the trend then all the heavens would have different inspirations.

[@fnerXVI]

I'd love to see some Mesopotamian influence.

[@acgearsandarms1343]

@@garothegoldenknight498 Adopted father and master. It’s semantics though, so it doesn’t matter too heavily. Either works.

[@gamerbun866]

The Blue and Red in the last fight determines which god is in control. If the area is blue then you're in Thal's realm (the realm of the dead) and if it's red then its Nald's realm (the realm of the living.) Basically whichever realm you're in determines which god is in control (and thus about to attack you!) If the area is blue, BE ON RED BECAUSE THAL IS ABOUT TO BLOW YOUR ASS UP! :D

[@lawrencealcantara]

THAT was it? omg, i just assumed "first go in, second go out" LOL

[@ghasterra8950]

I just looked to see if nald or thal were in control, pretty easy either way

[@kamanira]

Watching that scales mechanic, how the hell did I manage to get that first time in Duty Finder.

[@OhNoTheFace]

Go to the opposite side you were tethered to. I always balances

[@shotgunbadger]

I'm so happy this raid is more interesting than ShB's. Those were fun but the lore was so dull, these are both fun fights and really cool lore.

[@harakiribanzai2483]

If you played Nier the lore is not dull at all it’s literally one of the best

[@Elidan1012]

@@harakiribanzai2483 which is dull for FF14, since it is irrelevant for the game it is in. And it is not like it is universally loved by Nier players either.

[@Toksyuryel]

@@Elidan1012 FF14 players hate it because of the Nier lore, while Nier players hate it because of the FF14 lore. It's only those of us that are FF14 _and_ Nier players who like it.

[@raidenromo13]

Reading into the lyrics it's all about nald'thal giving rise to ul'dah

[@Andyjoe522]

Makes me hope the next two raids end on the Matron and the Navigator, that way other other starting cities can get some love.

[@OneMadHatt]

My crack theory is that they may be unsundered Ascians who allied with Venat and changed their appearance based on the mortal races

[@HanabiraKage]

The only other entities we know of that are proper gods and not primals are auspices...what if they were indeed people that somehow ascended into auspices?

[@DawnAfternoon]

Could be aliens post-sundering. Like Midgardsormr.

[@ShikiRen]

I mean, we know Azeyma is related to Azem in some way iirc, and their forms actually just look like the alternate forms of the Ancients. Eg. Hermes for his bossfight, or Hades/Emet-Selch trial etc.

[@kaitoudark1]

@@ShikiRen Theory of mine is they're all Familiars of the Ancients. Azeyma being the one for Venat.

[@coldReactive]

You have that feeling that Deryk isn't a simple adventurer because some are theorizing he's Oschon, the Wanderer; and with him being the last of the twelve that we would have to face if we continue to go in order as we have... ...also don't mind the fact Nophica would have to be the first boss of the next dungeon...

[@OhNoTheFace]

IIRC, sasdly there is an easy solution to scales. Go opposite to the side you were tethered. Apparently it always works, so PF may be fine lol

[@josepadron335]

Graham really went "OH SHIT, GODS REAL!?!

[@deltodd5490]

am i the only one that wanted to hear the Opo Opo say "KING JULIEN WHERE ARE YOU?????"

[@OhNoTheFace]

Yes

[@deltodd5490]

Oh….

[@porowa9048]

Derrick to krill : I think Opo Opo likes you

[@matt97841]

Thankfully, duty finder hasn't been full of trolls yet. My wife and I have ran it 4 times with no issues on the scales

[@velvettl4366]

Bruh the Danse Macabre in the beginning killed me

[@OtomostheCrazy]

I’m so glad the deity that Godbert prays to is ripped

[@dustincieslik5397]

ironically my first time in duty finder we did the scales first try lmao

[@thew00dsman79]

I had to run this 15 times for the healer top, was totally worth it

[@Toksyuryel]

Theory: primals are made of aether right? What if these guys are made of dynamis. I also think they are related to the auspices somehow.

[@Tenkuu-san]

Glad to know you enjoyed the new alliance raid! And I just wanted to reassure you that you are in fact not the only person who isn't the least bit interested in Zenos.

[@thedunkdojogaming]

I really enjoyed this 24 man, my favorite boss was by far the last one. I enjoyed the next to last one as well. I also dream for the day that I get into an instance with you since we are on the same DC :D

[@irlenanan]

I was really worried the new alliance raids wouldn't top the NieR raids for me but holy shit I am pleasantly surprised. I can already tell Myths of the Realm is gonna be my new favorite alliance raid series.

[@dazzlemasseur]

What if the twelve are extra unsundered ?

[@markup6394]

That cat reminds me of my own... except they are twice that size XD

[@MissLilianae]

I'm calling that they're Ascians who were Sundered but re-obtained some of their powers

[@MZZE-my7hz]

Man i really need to get back into this game and finish my levelling.

[@RockR277]

The scales mechanic is like flameflow from Dun Scaith.

[@KennyWentMissingAgain]

the “it appears it was safe part” had me dead💀

[@OldManWhit]

I've been considering that maybe they are non-sundered ancients.

[@xanmontes8715]

Man. I wish I could get stuck in the scales. We just skip it now and it sucks.

[@bryonic]

It was awesome running running this Alliance Raid with you. Also, sorry for the accidental grief lol

[@merking4215]

commenting to please the algorithm also pog videos keep it up 👍

[@cylesteasunrise3199]

Don't you mean oh... GODS

[@thebrave9971]

This is the first Alliance raid I've found fun since the Heavensward ones. The bosses are very entertaining in this, and don't have an ungodly high amount of HP compared to Ivalice and YorHa

[@BlazingAvatar]

15:31 same thing I asked lmao

[@ohok6979]

Epic

[@aidenmontes3463]

57 my record

[@JLOGIAC]

I think the 12 is the boss of the 14th seats Ascian something like that, just hope they each their own gods/domain/elements , so there won't be any BIGGY bullcrap just like WoW does 😏🌝

[@Shadethewolfy]

Can you clarify? Because I barely followed any of that.

[@JLOGIAC]

No it's just my thinking and hope 😄

[@Lorkanthal]

@@JLOGIAC if you are suggesting the twelve might be the convocation they are not. Aside from emet, laha and elidibus the others didn't make it through the sundering intact which is why they recruited their reincarnations to refill their ranks.
