Complete Guide | Another Aloalo Island (Criterion Dungeon) – FFXIV

#ffxiv
Timepoints (and Updates) below!!

Alo alo everyone! This video serves as a full run POV guide for ‘Another Aloalo Island’, the newly released criterion dungeon for patch 6.51. I think it’s one of the more challenging but still enjoyable pieces of content (and more rewarding with savage rewards) that recently got added to the game and I wanted to share some information with you so you can experience it for yourself! Again my apologies for this very crude and rudimentary formatting, but I really wanted to put this guide out as soon as possible so it can help the most people currently running the content!. My apologies for some mistakes that I made during this guide and the crude formatting of the video, I only had 3 hours of sleep for the last two days so I wasn’t very awake for making this guide. Hope you enjoy 😉

Best of luck in getting the clear and thanks for watching! o/

Massive Credit to Prokchop for drawing many of the pictures and helping me with this guide 😀

or https://raidplan.io/plan/u-T1hx_t_45z2a1d (for DPS W prio and supports E prio)

UPDATE: For Fluke Gale (Boss 1), it’s easiest to take the diagonal square opposite of the crystal in the #2 quadrant. That’s always safe for bubbles (and sometimes binds)
