Sometimes reading strats can lead to more confusion rather than understanding, especially if you are new to MMO’s and you are trying to read up on how to beat a boss. There are a lot of MMO terms and slang being thrown around, you just become more confused and have to look up what those terms mean. That’s why visual guides are often required for this. It helps the reader understand more on what to do. If you are in need of a visual guide for the Criterion dungeon boss, then you came to the right place.
Criterion Dungeon Boss #1 – FFXIV
When fighting Silkie, there will be multiple stages and tactics you need to adhere. For the first visual guide, you will see a Green Center, Intercardinals. Yellow will be going on the Cardinals, while the Blue keeps out of the Cardinals. The center must be open at all times.
For the next section of the boss, the Green Center remains the same, but with Cardinals. This time, Yellow goes out while the Blue goes Intercardinals. Once again, keep the center open.
For the third pattern, this is version A. We now have a Blue Center with Cardinals. Yellow will be going Interacardinals while the Blue goes out. This time, keep the quadrants clear.
This is the same third pattern, but version B. Blue Center with Cardinals. Yellow will rotate clockwise, as well as Blue. You have to keep the corners open in this one.
Moving on to the fourth pattern with version A once again, we have a Blue Center, Intercardinals. Yellow will go out and Blue goes on Cardinals. Keep the corners open.
We now have the last pattern with version B. Blue Center with Intercardinals. Yellow will be at the corners as well as Blue. Once again, keep the quadrants open.
