The Minstrel's Ballad: Sphene's Burden (EXTREME) Guide | FFXIV EX3 GUIDE | Gameplay + Diagrams



Hey everyone! Back at it again with another Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail Extreme guide! This time, it’s the third one in the set, Sphene extreme!

This fight was pretty fun, I’m really enjoying the DT extremes. We had some trouble initially with one of the mechanics, but out OP cheat sheet carried hard haha.

How are you all liking everything? I haven’t done the MSQ yet, but I can’t wait to see what’s in store. I heard some cutscenes were re-voiced… :eyes:

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! See below for the raidplans for all diagrams included in the videos, as well as some additional slides that weren’t in there.

I stream full time! Come check it out!

  1. This is my first extreme I’m doing on content and it’s been super fun so far. Thank you for this guide! Coronation has been messing me up so hopefully I understand it more now lol

  2. Not sure if your group ever tried this for Divide and Conquer but is it possible to resolve the mechanic by overlapping the initial baits to increase the safe area? I can tell that it just seems easier and there is tons of space already but it seems like a mechanic that you can possibly solve in a limit cut style but that would be a lot of movement and coordination.

  3. 14:48. this is false. there is a way to tell by looking at the background. youll see particles that spin around the background thats clockwise or counter clockwise. the platforms are east or west. so if the particles are spinning clockwise for example, that means the east platform will be rotated underneath you.
