In this part of the video, the tutorial explains how to enter and prepare for the Bazjan Arsenal dungeon in Final Fantasy 14 Stormblood, a 56-player dungeon. To access it, players must complete the story and leveling in all four Eureka zones up to Elemental level 60. For North American and European players, it is highly recommended to join a pre-made group via their data center’s main Bazjan Arsenal Discord, which organizes and directs the runs. Each member should have specific gear and logos actions for their roles. Detailed guidance is provided for setting up roles and the necessary equipment, including Vermilion Cloaks or Kieran a Sods, ensuring players are adequately prepared for the dungeon.
00:03:00
In this part of the video, the responsibilities for different roles in a run are outlined. New tanks primarily handle two easy trash mobs, may need to use faint on bosses, manage aggro, and mitigate splash damage when required. Healers have the toughest job, needing to keep everyone alive for most of the dungeon duration, which is around 45 minutes to an hour. Specific load-outs and coordination with co-healers are important. DPS players need to follow instructions and avoid hazards to contribute effectively. They have options to either maximize or mitigate damage based on their confidence level. The video stresses the importance of being prepared with the necessary logos actions and coordinating with the party at the start time, noting that sometimes the group might have to rejoin the instance if not all members load properly.
00:06:00
In this part of the video, the speaker advises against activating any logos actions until after Obni’s spawn. While waiting for Obni, players can hunt for Hiatos Elementals for passive regeneration and damage boost, do bunny Fates for loot and crystals, or wait on a rock for the event to start. Obni has various mechanics, including one giving a big damage buff that’s usually dispelled by experienced players.
To enter the dungeon, players must be inside the Fate Circle when Obni dies and receive a gold rating. Everyone must attack the boss at least once, and tanks should use ranged aggro attacks to ensure party qualification. If a player dies near Obni’s end, they should wait to revive until after receiving the necessary buff.
After three minutes, blue portals appear for dungeon entry using an aetheric stabilizer. Using one consumes the item and prevents a random red portal from spawning, which can cause friction among players. The usage of these items isn’t against terms of service, but griefing is.
Another four minutes later, red portals appear which anyone with the Obni buff can use. Players should interact with their assigned portal to enter the dungeon, which is highly challenging. The guide is based on the Aether data center but may have minor variations across other data centers.
00:09:00
In this segment of the video, the narrator explains what to do after entering the dungeon. The group is advised to stand on the bridge while protective spells are cast, consume food, and apply necessary buffs. Half the party will go left, and the other half will go right, with instructions to confirm group assignments before dropping down. Key dungeon strategies include using a healer’s refresh action, prioritizing safety over enemy positioning, and targeting specific enemies with the death action. The first boss fight is divided into two arenas requiring simultaneous engagement to prevent enraging. Each side has unique mechanics, such as managing spears and dodging AOE attacks, with specific tactics for staying safe and effectively dealing damage.
00:12:00
In this part of the video, the narrator discusses strategies and mechanics for progressing through a challenging dungeon. Key points include waiting for the other side to finish and navigating traps with specific roles like using percept abilities or tank invulnerability actions. The group must loot treasure coffers for rewards, sleep centaurs who cast berserk, interrupt sprites, and handle giant calcabrina carefully. The video then details the fight against the boss Ryden, explaining various deadly attacks like Thunder Call, Whirling Zantetsuken, and others. Finally, they remind viewers to collect loot from the Coffer after defeating the boss and caution about new types of enemies in the following hall.
00:15:00
In this part of the video, the instructions emphasize not entering any rooms until all traps are located and all enemies are secured by a tank. Players will encounter a Coffer containing a eure fragment, obscure logograms, and possibly bonus materials. A long hall with six rooms and an invincible enemy, absolute virtue, requires clearing of rooms with wind and lightning enemies, each harboring traps. Tanks pull enemies into hallways, and each room must be cleared while adhering to strict guidelines to avoid death. A portal leads to another Coffer with the same loot as before.
Players should have a total of 12 Eureka fragments by this stage and can reference a map or contact Talia if fragments are missing. Another collection of enemies and traps follows, with rooms featuring blue circles on the floor indicating hidden explosive traps. Designated tanks, adopting a defensive alignment, will manage these rooms until support fate spawns outside. After defeating additional monsters, the next part of the dungeon involves returning to the initial hallway, killing more enemies, and turning off the tank stance as necessary. Careful management of enemies, including a Centaur and biblo, leads to a bridge before absolute virtue. Completing support fate outside demands group coordination and managing a powerful spell.
00:18:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses strategies for a raid, focusing on mechanics and recommendations for players. They advise using etheric stabilizers to quickly access support portals for the last two bosses without interference. The key actions for fighting Absolute Virtue involve standing on opposite-colored circles from the boss’s bracelets to avoid damage and resolving specific mechanics by interacting with orbs and puddles accordingly. Tanks need to manage adds and avoid the boss’s cleave attacks. Absolute Virtue enrages at 7 minutes and 20 seconds, though wipes are rare. The exit from this arena offers valuable rewards like Eureka fragments. The final boss, Osma, is preceded by trash mobs that should be interrupted to avoid losing buffs. After defeating them, the group prepares for the final battle.
00:21:00
In this part of the video, instructions are provided on how to engage in a battle within an arena. Key points include avoiding touching a blue circle near the edge to prevent being pushed into the arena prematurely, which could lead to death. Final preparations should be completed before jumping down and touching the blue circle to enter the arena. Participants must be cautious, as falling off the platforms results in death and their corpse dropping at the entrance. Targeting Osma early can cause difficulties, including possible ejection from the fight or a full raid wipe.
Critical mechanics described include:
1. **Black Hole**: Blue circles on platforms must be covered by players; failing to do so ejects everyone. Players need to move to a circle to gain a protective buff.
2. **Meteors**: Two marked players need to position meteors in safe spots to avoid heavy AOE damage, then quickly eliminate spawned ads to prevent a wipe.
3. **Acceleration Bombs**: Affected players should sheath their weapons and stand still to avoid severe damage.
4. **Star Knockback**: Players need to position themselves correctly to avoid being knocked off the platform.
These key actions and strategies are crucial for surviving and succeeding in the arena battle.
00:24:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker provides detailed instructions for different roles during the fight. Key points include avoiding standing with your back to an edge, staying stacked with the group for shared AOE, and positioning correctly in relation to the tank. Main tanks should stand to the left and generate aggro without needing rotation, while off-tanks act as DPS until specific mechanics occur. Bleed bait players should stand at the back during the pyramid phase and either shield or remove bleed effects. If the fight extends to the sixth black hole, players should attempt to finish the fight quickly or fail the mechanic intentionally to avoid a wipe. Successful completion allows players to collect rewards and exit to complete the story, culminating in obtaining a shiny Oso Mount.
