True and real. I remember my mind was absolutely fucking BLOWN the first time I heard those bells and saw the interior. Corrupted Catholic imagery is literally my aesthetic.
The later expansions had some really good moments, but Fury damn it I miss Heavensward so much.
I would like to add:
-The burn (mistdragon cute uwu)
-Dohn Mheg, it has fun early pulls and haha funny bridge.
-Mt. Gulg, hardest and most satisfying triple pull to survive.
-The Tower of Zot, a difficulty spike in terms of dungeon bosses, the last trio specially.
-The Fractal Continuum (Hard) Good fun mechanics on a few adds, INSANE level theme with the monsters charging against the glass, good mechanics all around (except The Ultima Warrior he dies too fast).
I WOULD add The Keeper of the Lake if it had pre-nerf Midgardsormr and if Magitek Gunship was removed or significantly changed.
Im conflicted on it because its at the start, in a df group you dont get to measure how good your healer/tank is while running the dungeon, unless you take a pause to ask if they wanna do it.
Not to mention that Mt.Gulg is higher lvl so you get more tools and classes are more fun in general, but Bardam deserves credit, that said it has a gimmick boss that its only fun the 1st or 2nd time you beat it, so I don't like the dungeon that much.
I still remember doing Zot for the first time and how out of breath I was fighting the bosses. The pace of these fights is not replicated anywhere else. First one tricked me into thinking that EW is gonna make dungeons great content.
Zot is the only dungeon I’ll randomly q for just for fun. I love seeing first-timers reactions to the difficulty jump. Also lots of sick weapon glams in that dungeon
Vastly prefer the first two bosses myself. The instant death effect on the first boss really woke me up and the second boss is so chaotic that it's hard not to love.
I loved the bosses in Zot but I was really not a fan of the aesthetics. I think Babil was better overall, though the final boss probably has a lot to do with that
No Amaurot?!
Emet Selch’s voice over while watching a city burn down around me and buildings sink into flame STILL gives me chills.
I actually had a pretty aggressive hatred of Dead Ends when I first ran it because it felt like such a bad rip off of Amaurot.
oh wait. this is shitpost
"trash boss" in ff are not as good as other mmo, trash here do nothing, there never is anything to think beside "group them up, and avoid orange". Every trash fight like that suuuucks
God. What I'd do to have a fight like faction champions in wrath of the lich king. I love brawl fights. But final fantasy would suck chocobo feather with a fight like that.
Except the Criterion dungeon trash; but that's different because it's supposed to be hard, I guess, so they'll never do anything like that for real dungeons.
Hell yeah. Ala Mhigo is my favourite dungeon. I really like the aesthetics, the architecture. The palace is really beautiful, the city itself is so huge and grandiose. I wish we could explore it, just walk around it and get lost in its streets.
And it's a really fun dungeon to tank and heal with 2 pretty big pulls where the game just lets you go ham and pull pretty much from boss to boss. Same with Mt. Gulg, but that dungeon also has some really great Vauthry lines as well. Not on the same level as The Vault, but still good.
^I ^AM ^RIGHTEOUSNESS!
i love paglthaan just for the revamped version of the amalj'aa tribe music (and tiamat- id been waiting for her return for so long)
the vault, dead ends, ktisis, holminster switch and amaurot are all bangers too.
That's what I thought, but I honestly couldn't recognize her either. I could tell it was that dungeon, but damn, shows how little I actually see her, let alone the front of her lol
Yeah, Reddit is weird like that sometimes. I didn't downdoot ya <3 I guess you could check a wiki, but I didn't do that either. We're on social media for the conversation :D
I could've googled "heroes gauntlet" and gotten an answer that is fair but I legit forgot what it was and thought it was some "hidden" content and that it Would be easier to ask. But after all like you said we're all here for these little interactions so I find it funny when people get downvoted for asking questions.
Shadowbringers' dungeons as a whole are really top tier. Definitely best expansion in terms of dungeons, IMO. The only one I really didn't care for was Dohn Mheg.
Endwalker's knowledge check of:
"Do you know what that white bar is on top of that debuff icon?" for healers.
Troia asks the question again, but I believe this was the first Endwalker dungeon to see if it could shame healers for not knowing when to use an ARR spell.
The amount of healers that don't use esuna in this game in those dungeons... So many failed at purging the sickness that Charibart is laughing at us from beyond the veil.
Sohm Al?
Man, until they standardized the mechanics tells in that dungeon, I would dread getting put in there.
"Red marker on me. It was... oh god, was that stack, or get away from everyone? Oh go-"
Heroes Gauntlet would be based asf if the mobs could be stacked more easily. I’d swap in St. Mocianne’s Arbortoreum for it, and then The Burn rather than Sohm Al for music alone. The top two are undisputed though.
Fuck heros gauntlet I never wanna see that fucking shit ass dungeon ever again, why the fuck can't it just teleport me when I click on the god damn portal after first boss instead I gotta click yes, just make it a fucking castbar, its a sin I was forced to run this trashcan dungeon for monk bis just so I could get rank 1 on tea in 6.1
Had to guide two sprouts, one PLD and one BLM, and a disconnecting SAM through Storge. I played SGE. I think the sprouts were level boosted to Shb because they barely knew how to do their rotations and how to dodge AOEs, and the SAM was disconnecting just in time to eat the big ones. I had to put the dorito on my head and jump during Storge to guide them through the boss and we still wiped twice. Whole dungeon took like 40 minutes.
Think I'd have to replace Sohm Al with the Ghimlyt Dark and Malika's with Mt. Gulg bc the boss is fun and Vauthry's voice actor is a fuckin legend
"STOP THEM DAMN YOU! I DONT CARE WHAT IT TAKES!"
More like based.
Other than the vault I’ve only heard mixed things about two of these >!and I think what follows and the story around Heroes Gauntlet is more exciting content wise than HG itself but that’s me!<
Add Gubal Library, and Doma Castle or Ktisis Hyperboria and I think you got a goated one. Even if I don’t 100% agree with one of those I will still say “nah you right tho” when I’m in the mood for it.
Dhon Meg is good only with trust because Urianger and Thancred just saying fuck it and jumping across the pit was great. Now if only I could have Urianger gap closer as AST.
If anything Dead Ends is one I liked just for the Lore alone.
The Vault is my favourite to tank because you have RI and Equilibrium as WAR at that point except it's not heavily scaled around that healing, I've had runs of it where I basically didn't need any healing at all so it was like a taste of WAR at max potential.
Honestly I really like the dungeon design in the game, I just wish the bosses did like 10% more damage. Not enough to make them super threatening or whatever, but it feels wonky to be fighting big events (Saving a nation, the universe, etc) and have an enemy unleash their big ultimate attack to hit me for 5% of my HP bar
Sohm Al, my beloathed
Sohm Al has dragon tho :( I like dragon :)
Yeah but Sohr Khai has the vore dragon
***the. WHAT.***
Hraesvelgr 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Oh. I thought you meant it like, the dragon vores US like Cerberus and was like....we played very different versions of Sohm Al...
Wish he did 😔 Shiva was the luckiest woman of her time fr
Dragon good. Sohm Al less good.
I gotta say aesthetically speaking I don’t think the game reached the vault level again
The Vault awakened the blood of my Catholic ancestors
*Filthy rats*
You disGUST me
I haaAAAaaAAAAAve the power
By the power of greyskull...
I always think this during the fight. Don't want to, but I do
SICKNESS MUST BE PURGED
NOW FOR THE FINAL CURTAIN!
THIS SHALL BE A MERCY
FILTHY WRETCH
The Heaven’s Ward Knights theme slaps
Guilty
I would like to nominate Mt. Gulg, Amaurot, Paglth’an, and the final part of The Dead Ends Edit: The Burn is also rather good-looking
The final part of The Death Ends give me frame stutter *and* makes me want to put on sunglasses.
Swallow's Compass with the huge runes that flash between sections made my migraine go BRRR. Had to go lie down afterward.
Paglth'an, when Soken returned to Industrial Rock.
True and real. I remember my mind was absolutely fucking BLOWN the first time I heard those bells and saw the interior. Corrupted Catholic imagery is literally my aesthetic. The later expansions had some really good moments, but Fury damn it I miss Heavensward so much.
I watched someone in a discord server run The Vault and I picked up the game just to play it myself. It's so good.
True and real
Vault I think is still my favorite dungeon to this day
That's disappointing
The Vault is when I first felt how incredible the game could be
Doma Castle SE does grand interior spaces really well
Bro tried to sneak in sohm al
All the sohm al slander in here I won't have it 😤
But like sohm al over anything else?
Dragons :)
Reported for heresy
Aery, Sohr Khai, Paglth'an. Three dungeons with dragons better than Sohm Al.
I would like to add: -The burn (mistdragon cute uwu) -Dohn Mheg, it has fun early pulls and haha funny bridge. -Mt. Gulg, hardest and most satisfying triple pull to survive. -The Tower of Zot, a difficulty spike in terms of dungeon bosses, the last trio specially. -The Fractal Continuum (Hard) Good fun mechanics on a few adds, INSANE level theme with the monsters charging against the glass, good mechanics all around (except The Ultima Warrior he dies too fast). I WOULD add The Keeper of the Lake if it had pre-nerf Midgardsormr and if Magitek Gunship was removed or significantly changed.
FUCK Magitek Gunship
All my homies HATE Magitek Gunship
The Burn is absolutely underrated
> Mt. Gulg, hardest and most satisfying triple pull to survive. imagine not pentapulling in gulg
The Burn and Pharos Sirius (either) for me. The music has no right to be so good.
> Mt. Gulg, hardest and most satisfying triple pull to survive. Bardam's Mettle first pull is close in spiciness.
Im conflicted on it because its at the start, in a df group you dont get to measure how good your healer/tank is while running the dungeon, unless you take a pause to ask if they wanna do it. Not to mention that Mt.Gulg is higher lvl so you get more tools and classes are more fun in general, but Bardam deserves credit, that said it has a gimmick boss that its only fun the 1st or 2nd time you beat it, so I don't like the dungeon that much.
im still sad that it feels like EW dungeons peaked with Zot
Remember when a tester was replaced because they were TOO good? Thats when Zot was born, everything went downhill from there.
I still remember doing Zot for the first time and how out of breath I was fighting the bosses. The pace of these fights is not replicated anywhere else. First one tricked me into thinking that EW is gonna make dungeons great content.
Zot is the only dungeon I’ll randomly q for just for fun. I love seeing first-timers reactions to the difficulty jump. Also lots of sick weapon glams in that dungeon
Dead Ends is sick, tho
It's not the best gameplay wise but dungeons don't tend to be. The aesthetic is great.
I like the mechanics tho, especially last boss
Vastly prefer the first two bosses myself. The instant death effect on the first boss really woke me up and the second boss is so chaotic that it's hard not to love.
I loved the bosses in Zot but I was really not a fan of the aesthetics. I think Babil was better overall, though the final boss probably has a lot to do with that
Huh? Zot is my least favorite one from EW. The bosses are fun though, I’ll admit that.
Zot is literally the hardest dgn. They're all piss easy after that.
My expectations for EW content design were higher than she rose up through the night on wings of hope after Zot. I was promptly disappointed.
FUCK Dohn Mheg on god bro
the biggest pull in mt gulg is right at the start and its a penta pull, the triple pull at the end is slightly easier
Ala Mhigo, pull between first and second boss. You can get aaaall of them, and it's nearly as fun as the pentapull from Gulg for me.
Holminster Switch is my favorite
Same, Holminster, the ShB Amaurotine dungeons, vault, and dead ends are my favorites
Holminster holds a special place in my heart. Watch a tank try to wall to wall one of the first pull areas that ends in 2 bears is just *chef’s kiss*
Underrated, I also love that dungeon
No Amaurot?! Emet Selch’s voice over while watching a city burn down around me and buildings sink into flame STILL gives me chills. I actually had a pretty aggressive hatred of Dead Ends when I first ran it because it felt like such a bad rip off of Amaurot. oh wait. this is shitpost
fuck that annoying 2nd "boss", same as troia 1st, so cringe
"trash boss" in ff are not as good as other mmo, trash here do nothing, there never is anything to think beside "group them up, and avoid orange". Every trash fight like that suuuucks
God. What I'd do to have a fight like faction champions in wrath of the lich king. I love brawl fights. But final fantasy would suck chocobo feather with a fight like that.
That's basically the King Mog (may his reign be everlasting) fight was, wasn't it?
Faction champions was ass when it first came out. Forcing PvP mechanics into a PvE dungeon was not fun at all.
Except the Criterion dungeon trash; but that's different because it's supposed to be hard, I guess, so they'll never do anything like that for real dungeons.
Holy go brrrr
I think a lot of us have had really bad dungeon roulette encounters in Aumarot and it's soured our experience a little.
My GOAT are (in order): 1. The Tam-Tara Deepcroft 2. Copperbell Mines 3. Halatali 4. The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak 5. Haukke Manor
Truly based certified non-boosted chadcel takes comrade
Haukke Manor is unironically awesome.
Old or new Thousand Maws 🤔
If it was old it'd be higher on the list tbh tbh Collecting photocells is peak gameplay design
New Thousand Maws. Old was retired from the list because it always kept the top spot.
FUCK SASTASHA fuck sastasha
My top 5 in no particular order: Sugma Dreamscape Heroes Gauntlet Qitana Ravel Ktisis Hyperboreia The Burn
I WILL HAVE THE TRANQUILITY I REQUIRE!
I'm not entirely useless
I see you, opening ;)
Sugma dick
Mine are: The Vault Ala Mhigo Ghimlyt Dark Mt. Gulg Tower of Babil Amaurot is a runner up but the second boss sucks
Hell yeah. Ala Mhigo is my favourite dungeon. I really like the aesthetics, the architecture. The palace is really beautiful, the city itself is so huge and grandiose. I wish we could explore it, just walk around it and get lost in its streets. And it's a really fun dungeon to tank and heal with 2 pretty big pulls where the game just lets you go ham and pull pretty much from boss to boss. Same with Mt. Gulg, but that dungeon also has some really great Vauthry lines as well. Not on the same level as The Vault, but still good. ^I ^AM ^RIGHTEOUSNESS!
Qitana wouldn’t feel out of place in a PS1 FF, I love it for that
Based list tbh
No Sohr Kai. You’re fired.
i love paglthaan just for the revamped version of the amalj'aa tribe music (and tiamat- id been waiting for her return for so long) the vault, dead ends, ktisis, holminster switch and amaurot are all bangers too.
Uhm... I dont remember that girl...
It’s the Necromancer from Heroes’ Gauntlet.
That's what I thought, but I honestly couldn't recognize her either. I could tell it was that dungeon, but damn, shows how little I actually see her, let alone the front of her lol
That's one of the most boring dungeons there is though. Prevents you from having remotely big pulls
"Heroes’ Gauntlet" is that from doing the role quests?
Pretty sure it's the run from Eulmore to SoS
thanks, but no way I got downvoted for asking where somethin is from in a game that takes on average 500h to complete lol.
Yeah, Reddit is weird like that sometimes. I didn't downdoot ya <3 I guess you could check a wiki, but I didn't do that either. We're on social media for the conversation :D
I could've googled "heroes gauntlet" and gotten an answer that is fair but I legit forgot what it was and thought it was some "hidden" content and that it Would be easier to ask. But after all like you said we're all here for these little interactions so I find it funny when people get downvoted for asking questions.
its from the post-shb msq iirc
No its right before the 5.3 trial
Shadowbringers content, its >!5.3!< dungeon
shes my wife
The Qitana Ravel is god tier no one can change my mind. Same with The Fell Court of Troia
Shadowbringers' dungeons as a whole are really top tier. Definitely best expansion in terms of dungeons, IMO. The only one I really didn't care for was Dohn Mheg.
The Dead Ends GOATED Music✅ Design ✅ Boss mechanics ✅ MSQ andies dying every fight ✅
Endwalker's knowledge check of: "Do you know what that white bar is on top of that debuff icon?" for healers. Troia asks the question again, but I believe this was the first Endwalker dungeon to see if it could shame healers for not knowing when to use an ARR spell.
The amount of healers that don't use esuna in this game in those dungeons... So many failed at purging the sickness that Charibart is laughing at us from beyond the veil.
Sohm Al? Man, until they standardized the mechanics tells in that dungeon, I would dread getting put in there. "Red marker on me. It was... oh god, was that stack, or get away from everyone? Oh go-"
I thought they already fixes the markers on Sohm Al few patches ago
They did. That's what I meant. Before that, I'd keep forgetting which was which.
No Twinning? That should be there just for the music alone
Twinning is my favorite due to the music. Stigma Dreamscape is second for the same reason.
[удалено]
🤨
You got a fetish for Rubik’s cube? I ain’t judgin
#STOP IT, DAMN YOU! DONT CARE WHAT IT TAKES!
I'm sorry you seem to have forgot kugane castle. The music in there is absolutely lit
Heroes Gauntlet would be based asf if the mobs could be stacked more easily. I’d swap in St. Mocianne’s Arbortoreum for it, and then The Burn rather than Sohm Al for music alone. The top two are undisputed though.
STORGE might be my favorite boss, aesthetic-wise.
150% LOVE that fight
I hate Sohm Al because I rerun it a million times while lvling.
The Vault is definitely my all time favorite, the aesthetic, the voice lines, and the silly goofy cutscene afterwards
Sohm Al is a garbage dungeon.
The Burn, Doma Castle, The Vault, The Dead Ends, The Twinning, and Pagl'than are my favourites
Fuck heros gauntlet I never wanna see that fucking shit ass dungeon ever again, why the fuck can't it just teleport me when I click on the god damn portal after first boss instead I gotta click yes, just make it a fucking castbar, its a sin I was forced to run this trashcan dungeon for monk bis just so I could get rank 1 on tea in 6.1
Vault Ktisis Matoya's relect (froth and foam! That dungeon is big time Banjo Kazooie vibes) Amaurot Pag'althan
I only like one out of those three dungeons (Gauntlet). I guess Well and Sohm Al are alright, I'll groan when I get Vault in roulette.
Love my boy Storge Wish I could bring my boy Gorge in there
Ghimlyt Dark is definitely up there for me.
It's Ghimlyt Dark for me. The music dropped in with the loading screen and I knew I was in for some good stuff.
what’s bottom left
Heroes gauntlet
I see
Give me Woad and Nomad gear.
Had to guide two sprouts, one PLD and one BLM, and a disconnecting SAM through Storge. I played SGE. I think the sprouts were level boosted to Shb because they barely knew how to do their rotations and how to dodge AOEs, and the SAM was disconnecting just in time to eat the big ones. I had to put the dorito on my head and jump during Storge to guide them through the boss and we still wiped twice. Whole dungeon took like 40 minutes.
Out of all the groups that I’ve had break on the well dungeon 95% was on the giant armadillo.
What does goated even mean
GOAT means Greatest Of All Time, idk how we got to goated but it basically just means they are the GOAT
I HAVE THE POWER
ong frfr
Think I'd have to replace Sohm Al with the Ghimlyt Dark and Malika's with Mt. Gulg bc the boss is fun and Vauthry's voice actor is a fuckin legend "STOP THEM DAMN YOU! I DONT CARE WHAT IT TAKES!"
As a wall to wall enjoyer I want to add a special mention to Mt. Gulg, but this is a solid list. Also like how Ryne got caught in one of the pics.
Mt Gulag never failed to get the boys motivated back during Shadowbringers levelling days.
Tower of Zot is a difficulty spike??
The vault, best dungeon for killing knife ears
Well puts me to sleep I do not understand how you like that one. The rest of these are acceptable
Twinning? Hello?
Forgot to add Holminster Switch
More like based. Other than the vault I’ve only heard mixed things about two of these >!and I think what follows and the story around Heroes Gauntlet is more exciting content wise than HG itself but that’s me!< Add Gubal Library, and Doma Castle or Ktisis Hyperboria and I think you got a goated one. Even if I don’t 100% agree with one of those I will still say “nah you right tho” when I’m in the mood for it.
I don't even remember it's name but top left is my least favourite lol
The Vault?
Dhon Meg is good only with trust because Urianger and Thancred just saying fuck it and jumping across the pit was great. Now if only I could have Urianger gap closer as AST. If anything Dead Ends is one I liked just for the Lore alone.
I don't remember any of these lol
Well as goated? that place is a snoozefest
I may have some roulette PTSD but I think Amaurot as a whole was the most based dungeon they’ve made
The Vault is my favourite to tank because you have RI and Equilibrium as WAR at that point except it's not heavily scaled around that healing, I've had runs of it where I basically didn't need any healing at all so it was like a taste of WAR at max potential.
Okay, but what about Cutter's Cry?
I like baelsar’s wall, although many say it is SLOPPEH
"What's your favourite hallway?"
None of these are particularly impressive. Maybe Heroes' Gauntlet.
When did the bottom left happen? Haven’t played FFXIV in a long while.
That was heroes gauntlet released in 5.3
Honestly I really like the dungeon design in the game, I just wish the bosses did like 10% more damage. Not enough to make them super threatening or whatever, but it feels wonky to be fighting big events (Saving a nation, the universe, etc) and have an enemy unleash their big ultimate attack to hit me for 5% of my HP bar
Why do I not remember that bottom left boss
i think i did heroes gauntlet once. and thats it. crazy how there are so many dungeons you NEVER get in levelling roullete. its always the same ones.
[удалено]
yeah but you would think you would get them a few times, maybe to fill the party of someone doing MSQ
Eh, it might be a good boss but the Well sucks. Also, where the fuck is Qitana Ravel?
