Really, I'm not sure how I can easily prove to you that I played Final Fantasy 14 solo without using the marketboard or roulettes or parties or retainers outside of uploading the 100 hours of ff14 footage I have, but I'm pretty sure I'm the only one insane enough to care anyway. I mean I showed almost every ff14 craft and gather I did.
Can you play FFXIV solo? Singleplayer FFXIV even? I don't even know what to call this. I mean it's definitely not ff14 money making. I might be an Ultimate Legend UWU rdm pov, but I'm not sure how that's relevant. Maybe this is a FFXIV solo guide? Final Fantasy 14 Warrior solo? Maybe one day I'll do a Eureka Orthos solo run like a normal person.
It took a while but we've finally finished Garuda. Not Garuda Hard or Garuda EX Solo but just normal Garuda. Maybe one day we'll get to those.

Tip: for Stone Vigil, Chudo-Yudo's Lion's Breath and Isgebind's Frost Breath are very easily dodgeable with minimal movement. Stand inside the boss's hitbox, near the center, and as soon as you see the cast bar, move behind that boss hitbox's centerpoint. Congratulations! If your reaction time is good enough, you've dodged a strong tb with a short press of the W key!

I think the "swift" part of "swift first-time completion" was removed, but they left the verbiage in. If it's your first time you get swift 🤷‍♂

I would expect that to be mentioned in patch notes, but no patch notes mention this ever changing.

@loranpayne840 Ай бұрын

I think it’s always been “as long as you finish in 60minutes.” Pretty sure if you are in the last 30minutes of the timer you won’t get swift completion, but anything quicker you will!

Something I think a lot of people don't realize is that Mistral Shriek is just a very large AoE around Garuda, so you can just easily move to the side across from Garuda and avoid the damage entirely. It's not the huge cone that Mistral Song is. I think that can be super helpful info for anyone attempting their own solo run

Love the series so far! As a note for grand company turn ins: I believe they scale off of your class' level. If you outlevel the patch your in - meaning getting above 50 in ARR, 60 in HW, etc. - you might lock yourself out of turn ins, that got me when I was starting out. Be careful with your leveling!

Thanks for the videos, been super fun to watch! Have you tried spinning any bosses or monsters yet? It's kinda hard to pull off even with legacy controls, but it might save you from a few undodgeable hits here and there. All you have to do is run circles around the boss hitbox and stay even with the arrow 90 degrees behind where they are facing. So if you're spinning clockwise then you want to stay in line with their western arrow. You can find tutorials by Aethertruck and some Deep Dungeon youtubers for better reference :)

Man, I know this has probably already been said, but I can’t IMAGINE how more difficult this challenge would’ve been prior to the ARR reworks. Koschei required you to use CANONS to deal with mechanics, which were completely unusable bc autos alone would cancel your interaction with it. I have no clue what you would’ve done there…

Interesting, I take it the heals from Storm's Path are more valuable than the DPS from Inner Beast? The gauge will probably be more useful with Steel Cyclone / Decimate when you need some swift add clear. Stone Vigil's Isgebind certainly would have been a lot more annoying before the lingering ice fields were removed. I did not know that Halatali cheese tho! Neat.

Garuda's Slipstreap had a shaking cast bar, meaning you could've used Interject to interrupt it.

@rathgames Жыл бұрын

If I interject and interrupt it she doesn't do the animation. Animation gives more time to heal since I can just walk out of slipstream instead.

@iPlayOnSpica Жыл бұрын

@@rathgames May just be marginal optimizations then. You could hold off executing interrupt until the cast bar is almost full, but you'd almost inevitably pause your gcd, delaying your next self-heal. But, interrupting does briefly stop the target from doing any further actions.
