This boss is unique and was both fun and frustrating. Special thanks to Casey for BT buffs before almost every attempt!

In this run, I reached stage 12 in 1.63 seconds (normally it's 1.8 to 2.4), but for some NLs of similar strength, it ranged from 2 to 3.5 seconds. Even a one second advantage due to ping made it impossible for certain NLs that are stronger than me gear wise to compete.
The flip side of low ping is my fatal was exactly 2.0 seconds this run... so in hindsight, if I timed my fatal a bit later, the run would've probably been faster. I had an 8 second fatal with the same execution, but because it took longer to get to stage 12, the overall run was longer.
Special thanks to the people who helped me optimize my gear/link/legion/fams specifically for this.[Reboot] Kalos - 2min Segments - (Night Lord POV)Howurd2023-07-07 | Boss feels so quick when doing 2min segments instead of 3mins.[Reboot] Extreme Black Mage - Night Lord POVHowurd2023-06-15 | I played horribly this run, so special thanks to this party for carrying me. Was in training legion too hahahaa... Savior buffs were huge (big buffs for NL/NW/Bucc).

The last fatal lasted around 10 seconds... Recently got an hm3, so I am still trying to optimize with it. Will be interesting how much it goes up after Savior! Well deserved NL buffs /s
Recruiting Savages :^)[NA Reboot] NL Gear Update (04/14/2023)Howurd2023-04-15 | Close to 2 years since my last gear video. I've told myself there haven't been many upgrades since the last one, but after writing it down, that is definitely not the case. The next gear update will be hopefully after I am done with some eternals :)
Changes from the last gear video: Misty Island Totem (rng past event lol) Guardian Slime Ring (wasn't out before) 2 to 5 set pitch boss (ET + SoS + Mitra Emblem) Increase of boss fams by 10% boss + 2% att 8.6k to 9.5k legion (17% buff duration increase) 58.7k to 67.7k stat (no oz ring)[GMS Reboot] Night Lord Solos Hard SerenHowurd2023-04-04 | Cutting it a bit close, but thankfully didn't choke too hard. I messed up two bursts by almost forgetting throw blasting somehow... Surprisingly was only ~14 attempts, so definitely could've been cleaner.
Special thanks to the people in the Savages vc keeping my composure :)[GMS Reboot] Night Lord Kalos Clear (250 SAC)Howurd2023-03-04 | After around 50 attempts... finally cleared... Should have cleared at 240 SAC, but we died out at 1.5% hp left. Sloppy run on my end, but thankfully didn't choke.
Special thanks to Brandon (WhatsToast) for helping time almost every run.

Since I am not a fan of going for double primes, I've been working on a second main over the past year. I am fairly bad at playing this class because of NL brain, but I do enjoy playing this class. The beginning was a mess but recovered it at the end.[Reboot] Night Lord Black Mage Solo Speed Run (19:33)Howurd2022-09-29 | Took more tries than it should have :)[Reboot] Night Lord Hits 285 - Train with No Destination 3Howurd2022-04-10 | Freeeeeeeeeedom! Won't bother past 285 because I don't want to spend over 200 hours for an additional level. This was done during haste (10min rune cd / +100% rune exp) and 100% burning in map so the BA is inflated quite a bit.
Sorry if this video is a bit blurry, not sure why that happened.[Reboot] Night Lord - 69F DojoHowurd2022-02-13 | Night Lord is pretty bad at Dojo, but felt this was a solid run worth uploading. There is definitely a few things I could have improved on, but I doubt 70F will be possible for awhile for me (need more oz rings).[Reboot] Night Lord Clears Chosen SerenHowurd2022-01-14 | This party cleared a week ago, but I trolled and died out with 5% HP left.
Special thanks to Casey/Allen/Ming for timing and buffing before every run!

Took two attempts post final damage change. Filthy Krr Ring user, but I will try to do another solo attempt in the future without it.
Special thanks as always to Casey for wh + door + thumbnail[Reboot] Pre Neo Night Lord Equipment VideoHowurd2021-06-09 | Neo update hype!!! Decided to make another equip video since a big update is about to come. Not many gains from the last one other than full 22 arcanes and genesis weapon.
All my gear is pretty much finalized unless hard boss drops stop dropping for me since I do not plan to flame or double prime for minor stat improvement.[Reboot] 2 Night Lords Duo Black Mage (feat. cull1can)Howurd2021-05-07 | NIGHT LORD DUO!!!
Took 6 tries to accomplish this. Special thanks to Casey for timing and buffing every attempt and Jimmy for reaching out to me. Never had any intentions to try and do this, but I am glad I tried to do this!
cull1can POV - youtu.be/WN69zyGNSEkNight Lord Has Fun With Liberated Weapon - Black Mage Clear #9Howurd2021-04-11 | Don't think many people are interested in another black mage video, but I recorded it so might as well upload it.
Made a new party to help others clear black mage. Purposely made this party for burst meta because I am a Night Lord. Can't wait till Neo and being able to hit above cap and to see how much I can hit in one burst. Currently I average 20T per burst in p3 thanks to the 10 second iframe, but honestly should be able to do more with better mechanics.
Party Members: Howurd - Night Lord SuchADupa - Night Lord WhatsToast - Mechanic SoooFragile - Kanna Schvvi - Paladin Yuna - Bishop[GMS Reboot] Black Mage Clear #8 - Liberation DayHowurd2021-03-07 | Finally liberated my claw! Pretty embarrassing run on my part and also no voice coms, but I will upload it anyways. Moving forward, I am going to help other parties clear black mage so they can liberate too.
I'll probably upload more videos of bossing with the liberated weapon in the future. Really enjoying having an iframe as a Night Lord :D
Special thanks to my party and timekeepers for making this possible!![GMS Reboot] Genesis Mission Part 8: Traces of Verus Hilla, the Red Witch (Boss Fight)Howurd2021-02-08 | I am bad at Vhilla, but finally cleared after five tries. Almost forgot guild skills and scuffed my first burst because of it. Definitely was the hardest quest for me personally only because Hard Will is easy as an NL.
Special thanks to Casey for helping me with reminders and giving me the idea of cleansing on Ctrl since I am slow at cleansing lol.[GMS Reboot] Black Mage Clear #7 - No Bishop, No ProblemHowurd2021-02-08 | Surviving without a bishop was a bit challenging, especially in phase two since you somewhat need to dodge chains. One more clear to goooooooooo.[GMS Reboot] Genesis Mission Part 7: Traces of Lucid, Keeper of Nightmares (Boss Fight)Howurd2021-01-04 | I got really lucky and should not have cleared. Survived one bomb because of shade link and got into p3 with a bomb and did not know it goes away if you phase. I used a BA to help time the bombs in p2 since they are roughly every 90 seconds and hero/erda will can block it. I only was able to block bombs once that run though.
Special thanks as always to Casey (SuchADupa) for buffing me before the run. Also thanks to Wully for teaching me there's actually an animation before lucid casts bombs.[GMS Reboot] Black Mage Clear #6 - SpreadStoryHowurd2021-01-04 | Took two tries to clear this month. With the BA being fixed, you can really see how much of a burst class Night Lord is. Was playing really aggressively in p4 with spread since I had the lives to spare and was wanting to see how much I could do. Can't wait for that 10-second iframe with spread :)
As always, special thanks to Ming for timing and Casey for WH buffing.[GMS Reboot] Night Lord Equipment Update (12/13/2020)Howurd2020-12-13 | I've been asked every now and then for an updated equipment video so here it is. Honestly, not too many additional gains from the last gear video made last year since there is not much left to do and I am not interested in going for godly flames or double priming equipment since that can be very costly.
In terms of future progression, possibly trying to 22 the rest of my arcanes since the droplet and boss drop buff rate is coming next week, but it can be a huge meso sink. If everything goes to plan, I should have a liberated genesis claw in March and would ideally want three line attack on it, but I probably will settle with 23att 30boss if I get that first.[GMS Reboot] Genesis Mission Part 6: Traces of Will, the King of Spiders (Boss Fight)Howurd2020-12-07 | Really pumped up about this clear, phase three went so well with only three lives lost! Took five attempts to clear this time. Could have cleared the attempt before, but I forgot to buy buff freezers like a dummy, but the run was nowhere clean as this one. Only Hard Lucid and Verus Hilla left till a liberated weapon!
Thanks as always to Casey (SuchADupa) for dooring and the call outs.[GMS Reboot] Black Mage Clear #5 - Night Lord PoV!Howurd2020-12-01 | Finally cleared as a Night Lord and only took one try this month. Almost choked yet again with one life left, but my party carried me phase 4!
Special thanks to Ming (Barey) for being our timekeeper as always.[GMS Reboot] Night Lord Solos Hard WillHowurd2020-11-29 | Took roughly ~15 attempts to clear this (ran eight times in one day lol), but Night Lords have it pretty easy compared to other classes with the new 5th job skill. When doing the liberation quest, you take 10% more damage so I have to improve on my mechanics a bit more to clear. My apologies for forgetting to record the audio, I will try to remember for the liberation quest kill.
Special thanks to Allen (Grunde) for teaching me the "sweet spot" in p3 and for Casey (SuchADupa) for dooring and reminding me of stuff while I am inside the fight.[Reboot] Genesis Mission Part 5: Traces of Damien, the Sword of Destruction (Boss Fight)Howurd2020-11-22 | New 5th job skills (throw blasting) is so fun to use, but still getting used to coordinating it when solo bossing. I forgot to use guild skills this run so it probably took a bit longer than it should have. Also somehow three abso equips dropped that run, but no eyepatch.
Special thanks as always to SuchADupa (Casey) for WH buffing and domaining me before the run.[GMS Reboot] Black Mage Clear #4 - Living on the EdgeHowurd2020-11-05 | Almost threw this run badly, but made it to the end. Took four tries this month to clear. No more green bind cheese in phase 3 and for the first two runs I ran as an NL and the CM was a Bucc, but the runs were noticeably slower.
Hopefully next clear is as an NL, please give new 5ths already :)[GMS Reboot] Genesis Mission Part 4: Traces of Lotus, the Wing Master (Boss Fight)Howurd2020-10-06 | Had to do this fight as a Night Lord because doing it as a Dual Blade would not be a challenge. The restriction for this fight is -20% final damage, but did not feel too bad because I hard buffed. Really sucks how spread's bottom line still does not hit in phase three. This fight was pretty nerve-wracking near the end. Had three deaths to no delay suns :) Still pretty rusty being a Night Lord since I am so used to all the luxurious things when bossing as a DB (buffing/attacking in dark sight, having a "rush" skill, having two iframes, having a super stance skill).
As always, special thanks to Casey (SuchADupa) for giving me WH buff + Domain before entering the fight.[GMS Reboot] Genesis Mission Part 3: Traces of the Tyrant Magnus (Boss Fight)Howurd2020-10-04 | Lowkey thought this boss would just die in one spread with just a green potion, but took a bit longer than expected. This boss fight brings back so much nostalgia as I used to solo this boss on my Dark Knight in regular servers to sell tyrant capes. I didn't bother uploading the first 2 missions (Von Leon & Arkarium) since they just died instantly.
Next is Hard Lotus which I am doing as a Night Lord so scuffed clear of that coming soon :)[GMS Reboot] Black Mage Clear #3 - GreedHowurd2020-10-03 | Happy with this month since it only took 2 tries to clear. We tried something a bit different in phase 3 where we would sometimes DPS outside of burst. I think it made the run faster, but I definitely lost a lot of lives as a result to that and started playing a lot safer near the end. Still greeding to DPS and losing a lot of lives as a result, but was not punished too hard and got lucky a lot in some scenarios.
I am excited for next month because I will try to do a few attempts as an NL (and CM as a Bucc) potentially, but we will see how that goes.
Special thanks again to Casey (SuchADupa) for WH buffing us again for every run :D[GMS Reboot] Black Mage Clear #2 - Apes Together StrongHowurd2020-09-08 | This month was a little challenging for the second clear, taking us six tries this month to clear. Switched out our Paladin for a Luminous who never had any practice, but he learned very quickly. Unfortunately, the bishop died out in phase four and had to clear due to limited keys.
Disappointed in my performance this run since almost all my deaths are due to greed and I was close to dying out.
Special thanks to Casey and Ming for WH buffs and keeping track of FMA timers.

Took 18 attempts with this party, but I had done around 10 runs during December with a different party. I job changed to Night Lord right after the clear to get the Genesis Claw.
Special thanks to Casey (SuchADupa) for always WH buffing before every run and cheering us on, Kev for being our 7th member to keep track of FMA times, and Allen (Grunde) for helping a lot during vod reviews and giving a lot of helpful tips for the party.
Also, I am grateful to have an amazing party who were all able to endure and dedicate so much time to help clear this boss. This party would have not existed if it was not for Ming (Bearee) since he created this party. #ForMing. We miss you.

Took a while to solo because I kept dying in phase 3 due to Last Resort and being bad, but finally did it. Had 3hp left at one point this run lmao
Thanks again to SuchADupa for buffing me before every attempt.[GMS Reboot] Dual Blade Solos Chaos GloomHowurd2020-07-15 | I completely forgot to unmute my recording so this video has no sound, sorry :c
Special thanks to SuchADupa for giving me door and wh buffs before each attempt. Took a few tries before the clear. Kept choking at the end even though DB has it way too easy with 2 iframes and dark sight.[GMS Reboot] Chaos Darknell - Dual Blade POVHowurd2020-06-24 | The HP is currently higher than intended (1.7x) and no familiars at the moment so this boss is a bit more challenging.

Send more hard boss drops please :)[GMS Reboot] Night Lord Solos Hard LotusHowurd2019-12-22 | Special thanks to Casey (SuchADupa) for dealing with me spend countless hours practicing this boss, but I finally did it with a little bit of luck! **DISCLAIMER** I did not realize that in phase 3, hard lotus only does knock-back attacks when ~20% hp left (started at 16:10), that's why I thought it glitched, but apparently this has been a bug in GMS for awhile (not in KMS though).
I'll probably keep practicing this boss to try and get a cleaner solo run in the future, but with new potential BiS gear coming out soon, I have to start farming a lot of hours now :)[GMS Reboot] Night Lord Solos Hard DamienHowurd2019-11-28 | Inspired to try solo after watching another NL from Reboot do this (Lansley).

The only major gains made recently was my arcanes and non-tranposed monocle during 5/10/15. Still waiting for a pap mark after 75+ cpap clears. BA was a little scuffed, but was too lazy to redo it. Not much left to upgrade other than flaming, but flame is pain.Coppersan Contest - B3 Jump Quest - HowardsDrkHowurd2019-08-15 | Totally a regular server player since the character doing the jump quest is in Mardia ;) Bless me with BoD please!!!
#coppersancontest[Reboot] Night Lord Solos GloomHowurd2019-08-13 | Dark sight and shadow walker OP! Did practice mode because I clear this boss with a party weekly. A lot of dumb deaths in this video, but a clear is a clear.[Reboot] Fake Dual Blade Clears 54F DojoHowurd2019-07-23 | If only Night Lord was this good at dojo pepehands. Having fun learning a new class, but Night Lord is still my fave, will switch back soon.[Reboot] Night Lord Stars Arcanes !Howurd2019-07-15 | Didn't imagine to get this lucky with my arcanes. Ended up buying an arcane dagger and making a 22* SW katara so I might job change to a DB soon for fun. Will upload more if I do switch![Reboot] Darknell Boss FightHowurd2019-03-04 | Night Lords suck at this boss, rip mark. Love how this boss makes you lag so hard :^)[Reboot] Night Lord Hits 275 (Rank 5 in GMS)Howurd2019-02-21 | Me and SuchADupa were not racing against each other and spent most of the time voice calling to keep ourselves motivated to do this. As a result, we decided to make rank 4 be determined by rock paper scissors! Sadly, I lost, but I wouldn't have leveled this fast without her so I do not mind at all.[Reboot] Night Lord Farming Rotation (340b exp/hr)Howurd2019-02-21 | Recorded this for anyone who was curious of how I really trained in the later levels. Wish I knew this earlier because this was giving me up to 4.5% an hour, but oh well all finished with training! Will upload me leveling up to 275 later this week.[Reboot] Night Lord KS Competition to Hit 272!Howurd2019-02-14 | Watch till the end where I ks SuchADupa to level ;) Three more to goooooooooooo
