SearchThisVideo: FFXIV Stormblood: Castrum Abania (Level 69) Dungeon Walkthrough & Guide
hello everyone mr. happy here and in
this video we're going to be taking a
look at castrum a banya which is the
level 69 dungeon for final fantasy xiv s
storm blood you'll unlock this as part
of the main scenario quest of course at
level 69 it rewards item level 200 and
let's see 288 gear so gets you pretty
close to the gear that you'll be getting
from your level 70 job quest and it was
an all right dungeon let's see if we can
get into it because the servers are kind
of shaky right now obviously if I don't
make it in or people start 90 King then
I won't use this recording but otherwise
you know fingers crossed hope for the
best
alright fingers crossed fingers crossed
fingers crossed I'm in but is everyone
in doesn't matter if I'm in it only it
matters if we all make it looks like we
all made it alright so for anyone
wondering why we've been doing dungeons
like this I've been doing a lot of
videos like this as opposed to doing a
traditional guide it's because I'm in
the middle of a 24/7 live-streaming
event over on Twitch so the stream can't
go down so it's harder to produce the
more concise guides for these dungeons
those will be coming at a later time
probably in about a week after this
event is over for now just doing the run
throughs and talking over the different
trash poles and describing them is my
alternative to producing regular guides
so hopefully you don't mind that if you
do well then just keep an eye out for
them about a week after you see this
video so the first trash pull just has
one of these Avenger mobs and then a
couple of the twelfth Legion enemies
nothing too threatening here but again
enemies just deal a lot of damage if
you're not in item level 288 or if
you're not even item level capped which
deer this is item level synced to 290
since you can actually do this dungeon
as a level 70 you can see our tank
actually is level 70 if they do hit
pretty hard so he doesn't have his full
artifact gear yet from the level 70
quest just because of the server issues
can't really get his hands on that plus
he just got 70 not too long ago they hit
pretty hard I think that's been a pretty
common theme in these dungeons as I've
seen a lot of very hard-hitting mobs
which is nice because it's something
that I wanted to see out of just the
regular dungeons as is so run over to
this next one so we got these three mobs
on the Left we have an Avenger and two
vanguards nothing really here worth
saying that's specific this point you
just saw the Avenger mob you know what
it's capable of hits the tank really
hard sometimes it'll really slap them
for a big amount and then you fought
enemies like these vanguards a million
times you know they have you know
Conal a ohi's line AOE Zhun dodge ball a
ohi's all kinds of things these ones
don't use all too much however
[Music]
I'm almost done with this one I'm
remembering oh yeah there's a part later
that looks a lot like this room that I
was almost mistaking it for after we
killed these three I think yeah you
could already tell that three more we're
about to come out it's the opposite
pattern now though it's two Avengers in
a vanguard
slightly more threatening because of the
Avengers hitting as hard as they do so
if you're gonna pick a target try to
pick those as your first target of
choice they also do have quite a bit of
health so worth keeping your eyes on
that I noticed we had a little bit more
damage on this mob so I'm going to
refocus to the Vanguard just to keep us
kind of on pace
and I believe this will take us into the
next room there's actually quite a lot
of trash in this dungeon compared to the
previous dungeons and all of it is
pretty strong in terms of both its
health and its damage output so expect
this meant a little bit more time in
this dungeon than the previous ones yeah
so for this next part there's a bunch of
twelfth Legion bits that'll that'll
hover above when you pull them they
don't have a lot of health these can go
completely against everything I just
said these don't have a lot of health
just kill them off as quickly as
possible
Tagg maxes and signifiers well all these
enemies you've seen before at this point
nothing special about these ones just
pull them all together and kill them
I usually just prioritize signifiers
first it's kind of just an old habit but
there's no specific reason to do so in
this case stun the dark fire so I don't
have to move out of the way for that one
right he's on this one so I'm going to
switch over and kill this one real quick
I believe that takes us to the first
boss yes it does
so the first boss is the Magna rotor for
the most part it's just dodge a Oh ease
however at some point the Magna rotor is
going to start dashing wildly around the
arena it's a bunch of marked AO ease so
you can avoid them easily but your goal
is to kill the adds that spawn take over
those two cannons you can see there's
one there and there's one over there
take it take take control of just one of
those cannons and blast them in the face
pretty much best way I could think to
describe it I was so busy talking about
the fight didn't even do my opener so
let's do a delayed opener about that
yep here we go so this is the attack
that I was just talking about where he
starts going around wildly so can't even
really do an opener here still get hit
by any of those a ohi's pick one of the
cannons to go for first you there's no
reason to kill both of these optos you
just need to free one of the cannons
then have somebody right-click it
charged up magitek pulse hit him it'll
stun him for a few seconds and stop them
from dashing anymore
wolf
hit him real hard
so on top of that to talk about some of
his other abilities he does have a tank
Buster you saw that one right there
where he spins his tail around at the
tanker his wheel around I should say at
the tank and does quite a bit of damage
magitek fire does some AoE damage as
well so just be careful of that attack
that cleave is pretty strong I think it
just hit all of us a few seconds ago and
magitek fire too is just a targeted fire
spell he does a few of them back to back
and magitek fire three is the
unavoidable room wide AoE so he's going
to go do the wheel mechanic one more
time he's not invincible while doing
this wheel mechanic so you could in
theory just kill him if your DPS was
fast enough but uh I don't feel like
dealing with the cannons besides doing
the mechanics in a dungeon walkthrough
is probably the better idea you know
what I mean
[Music]
kill that Optio and we're good as soon
as he uses that magitek fire by the way
those cannons again become unusable so
you saw there it was kind of active for
a little while even though we had
already done the mechanic and that went
inactive as soon as he did match match
tech fire 3 there you go look at that
288 gear
in terms of exp for this dungeon three
of these with rested exp should very
easily get you from 69 to 70 when armory
bonus is factored in on secondary jobs
that'll be a definite so exp from this
dungeon is really good so for this trash
Olly all it is is there's magitek pods
and the more magitek pods you kill
before they finish castling deployment
the better the less ads you'll have to
deal with coming out of them so if you
don't DPS them at all you have to deal
with four adds if you kill two of them
now we only have to deal with two adds
so you might want to communicate with
Watch video from 09:00 - 12:00
your party real quick which side you're
starting on just work like the far left
one of the far right one like one so
people know whether you're going
clockwise or counter clockwise with
these four pods probably better to do it
that way
[Music]
now the gate goes down about 35,000 exp
with my rested from each of them so got
so I got my food buff on too so this
next room you run in and three of these
pug maxes are going to immediately come
after you
there's also a treasure coffer over
there but after you kill these pug maxes
you'll have to deal with some additional
ads that will come charging at you so be
on the lookout for those
okay we killed two of them
now these twelfth Legion rotors we're
going to charge across pretty quick cast
and then the tank has to pick them up
like normal
[Music]
these guys do also have a cleave attack
by the way so keep that in mind if
you're somebody who is standing near the
tank for any reason that you are putting
yourself at risk here somebody else is
grabbing it
you
all right we're going to do the same
thing we're going to start on the left
turn most POD similar to the last room
the pods are a little bit more spread
out though so you might want to hover
like this hover over to one side we may
not actually kill this one in time Oh
nope we did it now on top of this
whatever actually survives in this wave
is also joined by two more magna rotors
so you get all the adds immediately here
as opposed to having the different
transitions like from the last one with
the CAG maxes not a big deal but again
watch out for those Cleaves on the
légion rotors probably don't want to
have to deal with that
[Music]
okay and I think that puts us at the
Watch video from 12:00 - 15:00
second boss trying to remember if yep
second boss second boss only has one
really major mechanic if you fought this
boss before in the previous Final
Fantasy's you probably know what it is
but we'll talk about it as we get to it
so number 24 here is the second boss of
the dungeon he's got a lot of AOE x' you
need to avoid but there's only one major
mechanic that you really want to look
out for stab is indeed a tank buster so
keep that in mind
Gale cut bunch of place dailies on
players don't get hit by it
so these towers at this point you should
know very very well
one person need to stand in each of them
or it's going to do a bunch of damage to
other people now on top of that it gives
you deep buffs and buffs so he's using
barrier shift now if you just read the
text on the screen right there it would
actually tell you what you need to do
but he basically has a buff right here
reflecting all fire and lightning damage
back so basically there's a fire circle
and a lightning circle behind me so what
do I need to do I need to go to the
third circle which is an ice circle I
drop my stacks just to stop and explain
that and show it one by one
if you don't do that then every time you
hit him it's going to give you a
counter-attack you see how that person
keeps getting knocked back by the
counter-attack that's basically when you
don't have the correct element so my cup
runneth over with fire and ice is what
he said out loud so I'm going to go grab
the lightning one instead of waiting yep
reflecting all ice and fire aspect back
so that's the text that you have to look
for is his cup runneth over or you could
just wait till the barrier actually pops
up and then go get the correct one if
you miss whatever he said like I did the
first time I've like haven't even been
playing the job right at all the entire
dungeon
trying to make sure the mechanics come
across more so than anything else and
it's just going to keep repeating until
we actually get through the boss bears
ship lightning and ice so we want to get
fire
okay who would direct crit on that
tornado kick to about 12,000
all right we get all the loots
all right so next between boss is 2 & 3
we have this bridge as you can see there
is a I guess I'll call it a deployment
unit here on the right you walk by it
Watch video from 15:00 - 18:00
and a bunch of ads spawn we also have
these Legion bits which again you want
to kill pretty much as soon as they come
down I believe they explode because I've
never let them explode all the way if
you don't kill them fast enough I'm
pretty sure they're similar to the ones
from the a thorough chemical research
facility on the second boss where
they'll just still explode for a bunch
of damage if you ignore them when we
walk up a little bit further even more
of these enemies are going to spawn
[Music]
there it is if more Legion bits take
care of right here I already have that
item same deal bunch of spiders this one
has an armed weapon also wolf which as
you can see is not messing around damage
wise
I'm actually predict getting very very
close to level 70 now as you approach
the final door we have one last legion
bit and we also have the rearguard of
the weapon it's a little bit of
basically everything for slashers and
one of each of the the big enemies from
the previous poll there are still more
trash after this there is still more
trash after the second should say should
it say in English today
[Music]
I remember the next one taking a very
long time to kill
in terms of damage output
all right let's go
yep and then we have one last Colossus
and a couple of slashers this Colossus
is a pretty strong in terms of how long
it takes to kill him if I remember
correctly
[Music]
I mean you fought a million Colossus or
colossi so far at this point so you
should be very familiar with everything
that Colossus can do
[Music]
Watch video from 18:00 - 21:00
I think with that when you're moving on
to the final boss I grab this treasure
coffer real quick got the axe not bad
and this is the final boss Inferno this
boss has one majorly important thing
he's going to grow twice throughout the
fight one woman power his left arm one
more empower his right arm he has a
mechanic that comes from each arm and
that mechanic becomes stronger when one
of his arms grow he also has a part
where you need to kill ads very quick
I'll explain the ad phase when I get to
it so that was the left arm attack right
there that was the tank Buster and rahu
blaster is his right arm mechanic
[Music]
so ketsu and Rahu ketsu Bing one of his
arms Rahu being the other as when he
does two mechanics at once that was the
meteor mechanic and the AoE that he
needed to avoid now this is where he's
going to get his first empowerment
ketsu has grown so now whenever he uses
something ketsu related it's going to
have an additional effect the cleave
attack now has a bleed attached to it
which can be removed Rahu blaster is
going to stay the same for this phase
[Music]
here's the ketsu slash again with the
strong bleed effect once more ketsu and
Rahu so now this is the Empowered ketsu
which is the huge /aoe zat are coming
out
whereas Rahu is the meteor
[Music]
you
I think that one was also a targeted AoE
on our healer I don't believe it's
always the healer but on that one case
it was definitely the healer just a
targeted AoE that they need to not
that's not stand next to other people
right so now he's going to empower his
other arm this is also going to be where
we have to kill ads so I'm actually
going to move over here right now
maybe it's yep here we go so you have
two Legion deathclaws and one Legion
pakad Packer the people who have the
claws on them need to have other party
members kill the cloth so that they
don't die that should be your first
priority then you need to focus on the
packer right here all the deathclaw all
Watch video from 21:00 - 24:00
the other deathclaws do I actually might
want to not eat that will be this the
death let's just hold you in place so
you can't do anything so they're not
lethal you should make them a priority
first and they also don't have a lot of
health and after you and then if you
don't kill the packer in time it's going
to deliver a serum to the the main boss
who's actually not this guy it's a guy
who was uh given this guy his steroids
[Music]
who's over there in that a little
command center thing and that'll make
the boss a lot stronger you don't want
that and that's it that's the final boss
of the level 69 dungeon Oh
and that's the second Dark Knight sword
I've also seen for this fight did not
need it unfortunately all right well
that's it for the level 69 dungeon
hopefully you enjoyed this little
walkthrough end guide should I like
favorite subscribe and share and stay
tuned for all of the guides and videos
that you're looking forward to here in
Storm blood I will see you guys in the
next video and until then take care i

saying hi from twitch
hi
How u hit 69 so fast
Easy he had the hook up from square probably had stormblood before early access
is that number 24 from ffvi? oh HELL yea
this game too nice, it actually tells you which he's vulnerable to :|, ffvi just said fuck you hope u have some non elemental magic
Aw this made me realize that Scholars don't get the upgraded Bio 3/Miasma 3 like Summoners do 🙁 I used to main sch/smn but switched; I was gonna go back and level them to 70 eventually though.
man stop with spoilers thumbnail and god damn title.
There's no S in Ketu :p
24/7 stream wow…sleep is for the weak?
I really like the inside of this dungeon. Reminds me of the inside of the Archaadian airships from FFXII
Thank you Mr Happy I always look for your guides they are very helpful keep up the good work
Final boss can have third powerup. It's second powerup to Rahu and it start to give vulnerability up debuff on hit
Spent an hour wiping in here today. Never finished it. I was the tank. Things were dying extremely slow. I don't mind as long as people dodge mechanics. People don't dodge mechanics. Wipe to 2nd boss 4 times. Tell them over and over to stand in the towers to soak the damage and get the right element. Only soak 2 towers every time. I was the only one with the right element. No idea how we managed to kill it. Dreading the 3rd boss. Tell everyone to kill claws then packer. Run from the ones chasing you. DRG runs straight at his claw every time. Eats every AOE attack. Healer constantly healing him. Forgets about me. Out of cooldowns. I die. No one kills packer. Boss gets charged even more. Repeat x 4. Abandon Duty.
Fu cking hate Lalafel…get another toon skin.
I tried this dungeon for the first time and could not clear it because dps in the party didn't focus on the claws during the last boss, so i would get stuck unable to heal anybody (i got tether all three tries). This happened three times, and the tank turns on me and starts a massive tirade, so I had to leave. :(((((( Any other scholars have issues healing this place btw? I honestly don't think my heals were a problem we were doing fine up until the last boss so…
12:50
your UI looks like shit
Thanks for your this video. Will watch one more time. Learned a lot. About to run this my first time a SMN, level 69. May be challenging for me but worth the try!
1 stack = bleed, 2 stacks = Vulnerability Up. Haven't seen 3 stacks yet.
Your guides are always so helpful…managed to complete dungeon without dying thanks to you…Always watch/look for your guides..Thank you
yeah man 69bitchhh
