I fucked up a tiny bit at the end, failing to cast Tingle to buff my Final Sting, but I'm overlooking it because it's just RNG safety. The Masked Carnivale's challenges in general all need good RNG to speedrun.

![[FFXIV] Solo BLU vs Ultima Weapon HM, level synced, no echo (Patch 7.1)
Ultimas fun because his damage is constant but has spikes you need to be aware of and plan accordingly for. No real reason to do this besides for the challenge, unfortunately.
I originally wasnt sure if thisd be possible due to Viscous Aetherplasm, but I learned that if you push the boss hard enough, there are enough gaps between them due to percentage-based phase transitions that you dont accumulate enough stacks to explode.
Also Toad Oil was a total waste. Thought I could use it to dodge Ultimas auto attacks but nope. [FFXIV] Solo BLU vs Ultima Weapon HM, level synced, no echo (Patch 7.1)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fh4_Kt01LAU/mqdefault.jpg)

![[FFXIV] Main Tanking Nidhogg to the Tune of Terrible Music
Warrior MT PoV. Nidhogg is an incredibly fun fight, especially for the main tank. Theres lots of stance dancing you can do to increase your DPS without sacrificing your tankiness.
I made a fair bit of mistakes, the worst of which were not utilizing the last GCD during the berserk on the magic add, and applying Storms Path to Nidhogg after his transformation into human form before Storms Eye, due to presuming that the off tank would apply eye ASAP.
