  1. An 18 minute guide from Scrub? No way!!
    Ridorana's a good time, and Famfrit is The boss to teach you how to adjust your 3rd person camera angle so you can actually see the spinning jug, especially if you're on a shorter character….

  2. Woo! New Scrub guide! <looks at title> oh gods. This raid. Welp, let’s see how it goes

    0:30 Ever wonder what your laundry goes through? Wonder no more!

    2:22 friendship Doritos!

    4:21 ngl, I hate getting Slow more than any other debuff lol

    4:35 I’m getting the feeling that chains (especially glowy red ones) always want to be long (either to break them, or, like here, reduce their effects. I can’t think of anywhere these kinds of chains want to be short

    5:24 look, fellow tanks, I know y’all really, really want to be the main character for every raid your in. But please, for the love of YoshiP’s favourite socks, pay attention to tethers. I can’t tell you how many times one or more tanks are not paying attention, and I’m stuck taking my add for walkies trying to get it untethered 🙃

    6:09 lol I’ve always face rolled this bit. Nice to learn what’s actually going on (and why I sometimes die when I had aggro on the golems)

    6:47 this boss is why I’ve always despised this raid. As someone with dyscalculia, the “jokes” about passing 3rd grade/its baby maths!/you have to be stupid to fail! are incredibly demoralising. There are players like me who have learning disabilities which affect our ability to do this fight. We don’t need other players making us feel worse

    8:44 I’m glad you point this out. Took me a few runs before someone told us what to look for

    9:16 I can’t speak for those with learning disabilities different than dyscalculia, but let me try to help people understand what it’s like having it and trying to do this fight. The important thing I want to stress is that dyscalculia doesn’t mean someone like me can’t do basic maths. Rather, it disrupts the areas of my brain that handles maths, numbers, and time. It makes it hard for me to make sense of, and work with, numbers. An extremely simplified example is I learn that 2+3=5, but the test says 3+2=? and because my brain doesn’t truly understand how to manipulate numbers, it can’t understand that the answer is still 5.

    Now add the pressure of ignorant peers mocking me, and make the test timed, and hopefully it’s a lot easier to understand why people like me hate this boss.

    9:19 this is really thoughtful, Scrub. I really appreciate not just the lengths you’ve gone through to make this clear, but being thoughtful about it too. It means a lot

    10:49 ok, I like that you explained this. I’m one of those players who remember specifically being taught 1 was prime

    12:24 we goin’ to Peru!

    13:56 tanks, NOT ALL BOSSES NEED TO BE TANKED NORTH! For the love of Koji-Fox favourite puns, situational awareness is a requirement of tanking!

    14:07 tanks need friends too, but maybe don’t be clingy lol

    14:59 gods, now I’m back in grade school science lol

    15:17 I actually never noticed we floated here lol

    16:05 I want to say orange arrows are always clockwise, and blue counter, but who knows if CB3 will decide to make a liar of me next update

    18:06 holy shite. Yeah, I’d say that’s a drastic reduction lol

    18:26 before you go, there’s an Easter egg to find! Use Return so you’re back at the beginning of the Lighthouse, then make your way back to the end. You’ll see what I’m talking about 😁 (no spoilers! lol)

    Thanks for the great guide as always, Scrub!
