Conceptually the conga line might be the funniest way to resolve a mechanic I've seen

Ugh, gonna try this as my first EX sometime in the next few days, feels like prepping for an open note exam.

I'm so dumb because i thought that the boss was in the opposite side of what we are seing in the screen because of his body aspect. So in my mind the mechanics of backward and forward dash was a nightmare. Anyway thank you very much for the guide !!!

Looks like a fairly intuitive fight, glad to see your guides back Hector

Welcome back, Hector, and thanks for another amazing guide! Gonna be starting prog on this right now!

When do you find time to attack 😂

3:34 Helpful guide but I do request that you be a little more careful with the words and terminology you use. You explicitly say "tank swap" here, and it led me and possibly others to believe that tank swaps actually have to be performed here, when it's just tanks taking turns in the towers. Though you do elaborate on the mechanic, and other videos use the word "swap" as in "swap [places]", outright saying "tank swap" only serves to confuse.

unrelated to the strats, but i'm curious what the cute cat at the end's name is!! (:

Question about projetion of turmoil: Can a paladin, with cover/invuln. cheese this mechanic, for themselves, as well as a party member? (Detonating their own first, outside of the allies range ofc. Then immediatly run and cover for someone)

Hardest part of this fight is the wind aoe 😂

ty hector, got a kill in about 1.5hs in pf, works wonders

9:43 stupid question but how do you swap and take it off the other tank?

Hector: *releases conga start* the entire colliseum: *rousing applause*

Hey, your videos are helpful and great resource, and I imagine you need to put these in extreme hurry so audio production isn't probably the primary concern, but the low frequency double taps you can hear between what it sounds like to be every slide or recording take can be very distracting for some people and more audible for people with certain kinds of audio gear. Not a huge issue for me personally but I imagine some people may find it distracting or annoying. Sorry for any random people who read this comment and can't now unhear it.

Good luck with your clear

Little note to melees during congaline: Don't hesitate to go for your positionals as you will need true north stacks just after.

Did i clear this today 11 times, and still watch this? Yes. 😂🤷🏼‍♂️ GJ 👌🏼

Updated with Bagel! Yay!

Watching your video I found an even easier way of resolving sync that works every time so long as your "favorite tile" is either the north most as MT or south most as anyone else (or if you wanna share a tile with MT). Step 1: check your tile Step 2: if safe, watch for cleave and adjust, if unsafe, check cleave East Cleave: north spot goes 2 spaces west, South spot goes 1 space west West Cleave: Reverse it, north goes 1 spot east, south goes 2 spots east I made a quick little video to show it since I don't think I explained well in my comment originally: czcams.com/video/otpRqayW5N0/video.html

Thank you so much for the PF search info jargon. Helps me know what I should bring and expect from groups

Thank you for the guide. 8:12 - 8:19 I really dislike the "attack feather 1" because the second is there beside the team, is far from the aoe damage, no couple secs downtime waiting for last aoe to drop. But doesn't matter if I suggest, braindead pf people will follow 1:1 , zero thoughts rofl

For everyone freaking out about his pronunciation: chill. In Japanese this monster is ヴァリガルマンダ - ba-rigurumanda. The pronunciation is just different from how it was done in English.

i find this format easier to understand than the chaos of in game footage using freestyled strategy's like most other videos

We missed you! Welcome back!

After the complete mess that is healing Valigarmanda EX I'm so excited to try this fight. It looks not as exhausting.

first time getting into ex's when they're current, and holy crap. just the guide kinda broke my brain a little

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!

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

I find it the easiest to look at the 4 swords in the middle. There are 2 platforms with 2 middle swords each. If both these platforms light up the outer edges (not corners) are safe, it one or none of them lights up, look at the unlit one and pick the safe spot on the side that isn't being cleaved

5:55 Oh god oh fuck not Titan again.

During the wind Vollok phase, what's the distance between the platform edges? Did a blind prog with froends last night, and we weren't sure if AoE heals would reach all the way over

Glad you are back Hector you guides are always my preferred ones! Hope you having fun on DT and thanks for your hard work!

Only gripe I have with this fight is the visual clutter during half circuit.

Thank you for the updated guide! ♥

Perfect timing, I just finished ex1 and got my weapon

Prefer the first Guide you did more then this. This just looks awful that Bagel bullshit

Thank you, got the mount on first try ❤

've been watching you for sometimes and your animation definitely improves alot they are much smoother ^^ keep up the good work

Oh so that's what conga line means! My blind group tried LP stacks and we had a bit of trouble, but that's so much more simple! Thanks for the excellent guide, Hector!

good stuff king

Early for Hector

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.

at 8:28 please do a follow up video and tell people to hit one of the feathers in the back instead it lets melee get easier up time without greeding the proximity damage and just cuts down on risk of accidental deaths from trying to get uptime.

So much aoe tbh. Tower tb mechanic looks cool

Thank you so much for coming back. We’ve missed you 😭

Kitty!!!

Guide is amazing as all your others - The pronunciation of Valigarmanda is so distracting though! Still again, this helped me so much
