A guide to the Trial ‘Cape Westwind’ in Final Fantasy XIV.
There was definitely some sadness at hearing this legendary trial won’t be in the game much longer. I struggle to imagine the sprout experience that lacks this fight, especially when it features a party of experienced players placing waymarks, posting macros and spamming the panic emote.
If you do actually want to go back and have some fun with it before it’s removed, I recommend
-Minimum iLVL
-Silenced Echo
-No Jobstone
Special thanks to the members of The Zodiac Braves – Spriggan for helping me with my research for this guide!

Bro thank you so much I just couldn't bring myself to do this. Was about to buy a story skip and everything.
As someone who has only ever done this fight through dutyfinder, I just have to say, "wait, there are supposed to be adds?" Good tutorial, and might actually be a useful overview of the mechanics when it becomes a solo duty!
lol, and this is about to become obsolete.
Appreciate the guide man, me and the static have been progging this for months! We find it harder than P4S even, holy shit! This was HUGE.
Ah yes. The Black Wargreymon guy fight.
LMFAO XD
Cape Westwind (Ultimate)
when i first qued in this we somehow had a mostly first-timers team with everyone at ilvl 70-100 ish and we get to see all the mechanics, was quite a unique experience xD
Future WoL will not have an impression of him being very weak due to gang bang-ed by 8 people, more respect when meet him again somewhere in aetherial sea. maybe
Hit-TING
Man we had this appeared in roulette with 4 sprouts and let me tell you, we stuck 3 hours and a half. What saved us was the last minute bard dot with last dps standing.
Those puddles man. Healers cant even get enough mana to revive everyone. Knowing who and after which mech its gonna hit really helps!
i dont know what i'd do without you, this guide is amazing
tbh I just quit the game at that point, what were they thinking? Cant waste a whole weekend for one boss seriously I got a life beside the game ffs
I’ve been stuck on this boss for three months, not knowing you were supposed to hit the boss-
It will live on in vids and memories but reat in peace deal boss fight
This reminds me of those Rick & Morty improv skits (the TV show episodes) where the VAs just kinda bullshitted some stuff on the spot and you can tell. This is the Hector version, I'm imagining him having a hard time keeping a straight face.
LMAO
how about I ignore this video and we all spam instead?
Try doing this with 7 sprouts min ilvl and no echo. You would be surprised lol!
thanks for the guide, I havent been able to progress the MSQ for 9 years because of the trial's difficulty
I respect you that you make guide for this boss xD
wtf hahaha
buff this fight
it's worth noting, the adds don't have any kind of enrage, so if you're confident in your healers you can just kill one of them and ignore the other one for the rest of the fight
finally someone released a guide, we've been struggling so hard doing it blind! THANK YOU~!
:') sweet mother Hydalin, this is beautiful. Finally someone explains this fight in a way I can understand it.
I never knew I needed this in my life, thank you. I can finally complete 2.0!
That didnt age well.
What an incredible bit…. Thank you. 😂🍻🏆
I'm so confused right now, I believe my trainer wants me to hit myself.
RIP
Hardest fight ever
I did this legendary fight exactly as you described, no job crystals and all with a few other crazies on party finder. Had to send him off properly
LMFAO WTF AM I WATCHING, MY EYES BURN!!!
I've got friends that have been afraid to play because they don't think they'll be able to handle the tougher mechanics of fights like this. Hopefully, showing this to them should help them understand that there are resources out there to help everyone get better at the game.
I finally have something to post for pubs, i doubt this will help the general community with smooth clears though unfortunately…
This boss is the reason I start my static. He's impossible to beat with random pugs
Weren’t they going to change this fight?
I still dont get what’s the fuzz is about.
I just yolo int roulette like usual and it just dies.
Am I missing an update or something?
We followed this guide and still failed =(
