P5S Early Clear Guide - Final Fantasy XIV - FFXIV - SaltedXIV (2024)

Marker Placement

Start

1. Sonic Howl = AOE
2. Ruby Glow = AOE into 4 square reflect
3. Topaz Stone with Green puddle = Go to safe corner.
4. While in safe corner the party will need to avoid tanks and the tanks will need to avoid each other

5. Venomous Mass = Tank debuff, forced swap mechanic (this is an aoe on the MT) gives vuln up.
6. Toxic Crunch = Tank buster right after Venomous Mass
7. Green puddle = need 2 players per puddle to soak. 2 inside and 2 outside.

8. Venomous Mass = Tank debuff, forced swap mechanic (this is an aoe on the MT) gives vuln up.
9. Toxic Crunch = Tank buster right after Venomous Mass
10. Ruby Glow = AOE into half arena reflect

Double Rush

Venomous

15. Venomous Mass = Tank debuff, forced swap mechanic (this is an aoe on the MT) gives vuln up.
16. Toxic Crunch = Tank buster right after Venomous Mass
17. Venom Surge = Light party stacks into baited aoes in center then spread into clock positions for spread aoes.

OR
18. Venom Squall = Clock position spread aoe into bated aoe into center into light party stacks.

Devour

20. Satiated AkA Teeth Mario Kart = Boss creates 8 ground markers and a teeth marker. Same as normal, dodge last to first.

Pattern 1

PATTERN 1: Teeth will start in 1 corner, go clockwise 3 spaces then go counter clockwise 4 spaces.

The group would start at 3 then move to 4 then move to 3 and end on 2 as the boss is jumping in the teeth order.

Pattern 2

PATTERN 2: Teeth will start in 1 corner, go clockwise 1 space then go counter clockwise 4 spaces then go clockwise 2 spaces.

The group would start at 2 then move to 1 and end on 4 as the boss is jumping in the teeth order.

21. 4x Green puddles = 4 puddles will spawn, 1 in each cardinal direction. All but 1 of the puddles is supposed to fail / not be soaked to spawn a green slime the boss needs to eat.

Using clock positions will assist in a smooth transition.
Both tanks will stack on either North OR South puddles.
East and West puddles will be soaked by the 3 players on their respective sides.

Post Devour Phase

22. Sonic Howl = AOE
23. Ruby Glow = AOE with half room reflect and 5 Topaz. 3 on one side and 2 on the other side.

24. Venom Pool = Will drop green slime on light party groups. These AOEs turn the Topaz crystals into green puddles. Find which half of the room has 2 Topaz crystals and stack light parties on each one to turn them green.

25. Searing Ray = AOE reflected back at the boss like in normal, stand in the safe half of the arena.

OR
26. Raging Claw = 180 Degree cleave in front of the boss, goes through reflect.

Venomous + Ruby

27. Venomous Mass = Tank debuff, forced swap mechanic (this is an aoe on the MT) gives vuln up.
28. Toxic Crunch = Tank buster right after Venomous Mass
29. Ruby Glow = AOE into 4 square reflect
30. Topaz Stones with Green Puddles = Light party split either North/South or East/West on side without Topaz.

31. Venom Surge = Light party stacks into baited aoes in center then spread to avoid each other’s AOEs.

OR
32. Venom Squall = Spread to avoid each other’s AOEs into bated aoe into center into light party stacks.

33. X4 Green puddles = 2 players in each puddle. Same as the start of the fight but different placement. For smooth resolution, give closest puddles to melee and furthest to ranged.

39. Topaz Stones = Will spawn 2 Topaz Crystals in each square.

40. Venom Pool = Call out a square for all 8 players to go to, stack light parties on the Topaz Crystals to turn them into green puddles.
