UPDATED - Dawntrail Extreme 2 Guide

Publicado 2024-07-07
This is an updated guide to the trial 'Everkeep Extreme' (Zoraal Ja Extreme) in Final Fantasy XIV.

My updated guide corrects a few small errors and also prominently features the Bagel/Congaline strat for Projection of Turmoil. You can watch a POV of it in action here:    • Extreme Trial 2 Projection of Turmoil...  

A huge thank you to all of the commenters on the original guide who helped spot issues or gave suggestions of better ways of resolving mechanics. In particular, thank you Kilikx1x, Trance1215, Phiefer3, Runasth, NickWithAnF, and the many people who recommended Bagel/Congaline strat!

    If following this guide in PF, Write “Bagel/Congaline HTTH” Not “Hector” It saves people who already know the fight from having to come watch a guide they don’t need.

    I feel sorry for Hector. All he's doing is providing us with an amazingly well crafted guide to help us with difficult fights, all for free and yet people still find something to whine about. He's not the one telling people to refer to the strats as 'Hector strats', there's no reason people should take umbridge with him whatseover. He's out here doing a service to all players.

    omg finding a sword thats not glowing instead of trying to find a safe apot between the 2 that are is gonna be a life saver for me
  • @online222222
    Conceptually the conga line might be the funniest way to resolve a mechanic I've seen
  • @theladysnausages
    Why did I never think to look for the non-glowing sword to find a safe spot. Life changing indeed. Thank you as always, Hector!!
  • @sl1ppey
    I just cleared my first on/near-release EX since ARR with help from this guide. The tip about visualizing the swords as “sliding” towards the middle as well as looking for a non-glowing sword to find a safespot were particularly helpful. Thank you and great work!
  • @mr_oger
    To me the hardest part to wrap my head around were the flying swords. Just as a tip: solving this in 2 steps really helps - 1st: you look at the wind/fire sword and find out on which row you should be standing, 2nd: watch at the blue swords and determine on which square is the safe spot.

    Heard horror stories about this trial over the past week; watched this guide before going in, joined a "hector strat" first timer group, and cleared it in one lockout. Great job man.
  • @RoseArtemis24
    Looking forward to trying this fight out, thanks for making a guide for it - have been watching your guides for years at this point and you always explain things thoroughly which I like!
  • @richiemahon8132
    your guides are amazing dude, thank you so so much, glad to see you making these still. happy adventures dude!
  • @TheRealLink
    Thanks for yet another clear and concise guide! I was catching up and so first raid night our static threw me into this "blind" but with very good explanations. Watching how the tethers and positioning for enumerations worked certainly cleared up a couple minor points for me.
  • @szss_d
    've been watching you for sometimes and your animation definitely improves alot they are much smoother ^^ keep up the good work
  • @dc8836
    Thank you so much for the PF search info jargon. Helps me know what I should bring and expect from groups
  • Glad you are back Hector you guides are always my preferred ones! Hope you having fun on DT and thanks for your hard work!
  • @TenzieTV
    my brain trying to solve what square is safe absolutely haunts me. I lose sleep over if I'm in the right spot or not. this guide though was very helpful seeing it it this way vs seeing it in action. gives u a better view of exactly what's happening. much appreciated! I can say it is now on farm, although I still lose sleep lol
  • @QiaraIris
    Finally got my first clear with this guide. While I still struggle with the gate fire wind swords, finding non-glowing swords was an amazing tips. Thank you
  • @Zyantastic
    Just wanna say thanks! Im not really a visual learner from video guides and such, but yours are always easy to digest and understand. I have cleared a few EXs thanks to you
  • @d4MikeJones
    Liked for the useful guide, subscribed for the spoiler-conscious thumbnail and intro

    Ive been playing ff14 for 7 months currently and i can say these are the best guides I've seen about doing extremes, cause watching all the other guides people made gave me headaches. If you need a good simplified guide on EX's and other endgame activities id recommend and highly advise coming here. This guide saved me so much pain on my end in this EX
