The Minstrel’s Ballad: Hydaelyn’s Call
Extreme Trial Guide
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker

This fight covers all of the main mechanics for one of Endwalker’s first new extreme trials, including tank busters, raidwides, telegraphed mechanics, lightwave, and chakrams. Clips are reaper pov and are supported by diagrams to help with comprehension.

Feedback and constructive criticism welcome as always; I hope that you find this helpful! Moving forward, English closed captions will be available on all new guides on this channel.

Special thanks to my co-raiders and especially Kit Reign for helping and consulting during preproduction.
