The level 260 prequest for the Cernium storyline. This takes place after the Arcane River storyline where the Black Mage is defeated.
Since most people probably won't be reaching a high enough level for this anytime soon, I figured I might as well start uploading the storyline for this game.

I was originally planning to do this without the cheese strat. (I actually came close once, but then accidentally cancelled glory wings instead of pressing origin for the final burst.) But then in this run I bricked the gauge in p2 and thought why not.
The order I did the perils in for p1 was the fastest way when I had lower damage, but then the final week of night troupe buffs blew my damage out of the water and the order stopped mattering as much.
For p3, as much as I wanted to focus down Taowu, I realized it was more damage-efficient to use laser exclusively for hitting both Qiongqi and Hundun at once.")

One of the most brain-dead and RNG-based boss fights ever. Would not fight again. (Im totally gonna fight it again for mesos ;~;)")

I put this off for a long time since I was so terrified of it but then it somehow took only one try.")

In this video, I dress up as Lucid, solo HLucid, and level up to 270 all at the exact same time.
Soloing HLucid used to be just a pipe dream for me, but the recent final damage changes to Reboot gave me a huge boost that made me just strong enough.")
