This is a guide to the trial 'Everkeep Extreme' (Zoraal Ja Extreme) in Final Fantasy XIV. My guide doesn’t make any strat recommendations for mechanics with multiple solutions, but rather focuses on trying to explain how the mechanic actually works. In particular, projection of turmoil has lots of different ways to solve it and I’d rather the community decide which they think is the best. I wil...

    I don't know if Projection of Turmoil has been patched since I've last cleared this fight, but 99% of PF cheeses this mechanic, in fact most of you here have already done it or seen a guide talk about it: The wall around the arena does not kill you. It is a DOT..........a very very very weak DOT. The party can just go to the opposite corner of the arena, get 30 seconds of uptime, and then just as the line is about to reach the corner of the arena, just walk through the wall. Low to moderate healing is needed, and the line just disappears. Tank will still need to time invuln for the busters, but otherwise, this mechanic can basically be entirely ignored. Party finder will likely continue doing this until it's patched (if ever), because honestly no one is going to ignore the path of significantly less resistance.

    11:00 Another detail of this mechanic is that the yellow triangle debuffs effect *both* platforms when they resolve. While this isn't super important assuming everything goes smoothly, if you get yourself into a position where you have 5 people on 1 platform (maybe someone got rezzed because they missed the launch) that 5th person needs to resolve the mechanic as if they are on the *other* platform instead of just picking a random tile in the back. I died to this a few times during prog and was very confused because for all intensive purposes I was in the correct spot but someone who got rezed on the other side just happened to keep picking the same tile as me.

    • @potatocakeful
      @potatocakeful 8 годин тому

      Honestly I found Mr Happy's trick to be by far the easiest (though a little ping dependent). You go to the safe side of the cleave and stand at the corner of 4 squares touching. The swords always have gaps around them so as soon as the icon from the unsafe spots show you just take one step in the direction of the safe space. Its really easy once you realize it and you don't have to look at the swords at all.

    Excellent introduction and guide as always Hector. There's one thing I'd like to add. It'll likely not matter since PF has already establish most strats, but I'd like to mention it anyway. In the dual platform phase where one group needs to knocked away, the yellow pyramid spreads also hit the other platform in a similar manner to the big swords, meaning the back of the platform that's not being hit by the giant sword will be hit by the spreads on the other platform. I haven't seen anyone going to that back of their platform so far though. I just thought it was something to point out.

  • @mapleXIV
    @mapleXIV День тому

    For projection of turmoil the bagel strat is currently the most reliable and PF has mostly moved over to it. It does allow you to take each stack as 8 like shown, but will require each person to remember their number and not touch the line too early or too late. Likely good for organized groups to use less healer resources. PF will probably want to stay separated and collapse together to lower the risk of error. It only requires a couple mitigations from the tanks to handle the first hit, as it does reach the next person in line to make the share 3-way.
