Out of all the walkthroughs I was seeing for this dungeon, this video is the best. You honestly got all 100% items, had no cuts, and even took the time for the items to load so that the viewers can confirm what they got. I'm incredibly impressed at your dedication to this dungeon and glad I watched this. This is the defacto video to watch for anyone that wants all of the items and isn't looking to skip content.Thank you for this!!
Yup already busy for 2,5 hours and half way. I am exhausted, annoyed and broke the r1 button because I threw my controller several times. I am a pianist and have very steady hands and fine motoric skills. But this is just insane.
I'm not necessarily more skilled, just more practiced. I went through this dungeon at least 6 times preparing for this video, and believe me I failed a lot those first few runs.
5 hours?!?!? I was on day 2... then again I am not sure because I have 8 hours by save but paused from police shooting and SWAT rolling around that my PS rested twice. Good old Atlanta Suburbs. Still this is a feat. I have to go back and get some things, if needed. I will later. What made it the worst was by the 3rd Ascension coin they were full. I was livid. This was the 1st time my palms would sweat while playing. Probably have a cracked tooth. Didn't break a controller or teach my kid more words than he already knows from me 😂. It all played out in my head though. Especially still running backwards when reset to go to a previous reset... Platforming Final Fantasy... Since FF1 and Dungeon Warrior I would've never thought I'd hear those words ever in 30+ years. Yeah they've shook it up here or there but the certainly made me want to be Rachet & Clank or something here. Float with cape at least. Can you imagine if it killed you? People would disown the franchise. Great vid, 👍🥪
Just remember you get a total of 68 coins in there, so make some room. One pack in particular in Rock Bottom has 12 at once so don’t accidentally loot it while you only have room for 1 coin :(
I have to thank you for this video, I used it 5 or more years ago to get me through and it was epic then. I come back to it these years later replaying XV. Despite it's myriad flaws the game is still fun to me, and I didn't thank you before. Probably spent a day and half lost in this place and I hated it, but after watching you expertly navigate it, spent only 5 hours this time! Thanks!!
Years later in 2024 I’m coming back to watch this video. You did amazing not one item skipped and the dedication. Now I hated the perspective part can we all agree here and a few jumps took me way longer than I would like to admit. Thank you for your hard work its probably saved people a life time.
@@ElDuende05 Thank you! I still have a majority of the higher level menace dungeons and Omega to do, also level 103 to trying to level up as much as possible - any advice ?
Do the menace dungeons in roughly the order of their level and that should get you most of the way there. I don’t remember having to do too much grinding to complete those. Once you’re done with those you’ll have a better idea of what you’ll have left.
Thank you for this! Your video is seriously the only place where I could see exactly where every item was and it was great to watch you do it because I’m very hands on. I can’t do something if I’m just told to do it, I have to see it done
THE trickiest dungeon I have ever played including every single games I have ever played. Without any guides, it took me about 4 and a half hours to finish this dungeon. I just came in to TH-cam to find out that I wasn't the only one. But guys? Reward is worth it.
@@ElDuende05 rest mode is your friend. But do not go into rest mode without having "Keep Application Suspended" ticked, like I did. Doing the first half of Pitioss again was fun...
Just finished my second time beating this dungeon. A lot of people hating on it due to the frustration. I feel it’s not so bad if you know beforehand somewhat of what you’re getting into. I just feel a lot of awe and amazement for how they created this dungeon. A lot of square games had post game super bosses, this is a post game super dungeon. I think it’s cool how it’s just so unexpected, there’s really no other parts in the main game where platforming is a thing, yet they made an entire super dungeon solely with platforming. I think it’s also cool when you learn the lore behind the dungeon then it’s just even more awe inspiring how they put together this whole thing. If you don’t like platform games and don’t like solving puzzles then you’ll probably hate this dungeon. I just think it’s really not that bad if you sit back and enjoy the experience and appreciate the work that went into making it. This time took me about half the time to beat as the first time. I think the first time I did it was about 4 hours, the second time about 2 hours. First time I think I looked at little to no helping guides. It’s kind of fun figuring it out on your own
Thank you for taking the time for showing this guide, although it took me 4 hours to clear this dungeon. I'm sure that I will take a lot longer than that without your tutorial.
2022. Done. All of it. Full Tilt and Perspective were just a lot of fun. Wall and Rock Bottom were super cool. None of it was easy. Some of it was traumatic. Ascent and Gateway had parts that were so frustrating I'm never going back. Thanks for the walkthrough. It gave me hope there was going to be an ending.
That shit took me nearly four hours to beat. I thought I could've beaten it without help but I was very wrong. Thanks for uploading this now 5 year old guide. It was... an experience.
You’re very welcome! At the time I couldn’t find a guide to collect all the items so I decided to create my own. Didn’t expect it to become so popular :)
The very good very thorough walkthrough and you don't actually speak to explain anything so I don't feel like I'm a child getting lectured. So thank you
thank you so much! this was very helpful. the first time i cleared this dungeon i used a written guide and it was an infuriating experience. your video made my second time in pitioss so much easier!
Why, oh why, do dungeons not give you the usual "completed" thing you get after a mission? I came here to see if you'd get that by collecting every items but not even! Great job btw, this is the most thorough walkthrough for this part I've seen so far. thank you for uploading!
Fortunately the gates and shortcuts remain open once you get outside and save, so it’s actually surprisingly quick to go back in and pick up anything you missed. Other than the obvious Black hood, notable loot includes a cache of rare items such as Zu beak on a secret ledge near the bottom of the diagonal area and a ton of coins in one of the side cages in the statue room.
Man, even with a dope ass guide, this dungeon took me 5 hours and I died 73 times. I did some math to show how silly this dungeon is: I died more times in this empty-ass dungeon than I have in literally every other dungeon and menace dungeon in the entire game combined. If I'm not mistaken, I've experienced a total of 5 deaths during my entire playthrough up to deciding to try this dungeon. I crashed the Regalia Type-F 3 times trying to land on the runway, bringing that figure up to 8 deaths, pre-Pitios. During this dungeon run I died 73 times. So after completing this dungeon I can say that over the course of my now 141 hours, 17 minutes, and 30 seconds of my current FFXV playthrough thus far, I've died a total of 81 times, and of those 81 deaths 73 of them were during the past 5 hours I just spent in this goddamn dungeon. 75/81 is 0.925(repeating), so 92.5% of the deaths I've experienced over the past 141.2916 hours in this game, 92.5% occurred during past 5 hours. That's absolutely ridiculous lol. To sum up: 141.2916 hours in, and 92.5% of my total 81 deaths have been over the last 5 hours. Of my 81 total deaths, now only 6.2% of them have involved monsters of any kind lmao. That's just silly.
How do you know the ZuBeak etc. items area in Full Tilt?? That's insane! I am interested in the fan theory of Pitioss and currently working on my own investigation, this video really helps a lot! A real 100% guide. Thank you.
I vaguely remember a post on gamefaqs that pointed them out which I found when I was trying to confirm whether or not I’d missed anything. I’m glad you find this helpful; would love to read / watch your analysis when you finish :)
@@ElDuende05 I see. Couldn't promise my own theory can ever be done haha, but will post it out if found something new. Also I like the way the of this smooth walkthrough without cutting, that's amazing.
@@winterffxv That was an important point for me since I thought cutting too much would be too disorienting. The place is confusing enough without me skipping sections :)
This dungeon would have been OK in say a Zelda game or 3d platformer, but ffxv doesn't have good controls for this. Thanks for this video, it helped me a lot, way more than reading that stupid gamefaqs guide i was reading. It's harder to understand walkthroughs when you read them vs watching one and I'm glad you made this. Helped a lot of us frustrated players out, thank you so much! Kudos to you and good job!!!
That gamefaqs guide is probably mine lol. I linked to this video guide from there since I figured it would be much easier to follow a video as you noted. I’m thinking about making some of the other text guides I made into videos too.
@@ElDuende05 i think it might have been like the second or third walkthrough on gamefaqs, I'm late to the party and only started playing this game in 2022, but i think i prefer water theme dungeons in Zelda to this dungeon and that's only because the controls. Noctis keeps moving even after I've jumped and landed, had the same issue with red dead 2 with Arthur doing the same thing lol, i think they probably just needed to refine the controls so it's not so sensitive but also so the jumps don't frustrate people as much. But other than that it is a genius dungeon, i just think the 72 hours i spent on it i wish i could cut out some of that time falling. I think the next game i play after this one will be horizon forbidden west since i think 500 hrs burnt me out on ffxv. Btw did you defeat noctis on episode ignis and aranea in episode prompto? I didn't even attempt those two challenges after seeing how hard they were and i was like nope Im not skilled enough for this haha.
I actually didn’t play any of the party member DLC when it came out other than a bit of the Gladio one. I sorta wrapped up the game before the DLC came out and never got back to it. I’ll have to circle back at some point.
Thanks so much, big help. Get this though, right after I finished the dungeon, I got out, forgot to save then crashed my car. RIP, guess I'm gonna have to do it again.
21:44 - beautiful! i was trying to jump directly from the first platform on to that ledge with the spikes and needless to say it was VERY time consuming
After my first playthrough I felt the same way, but after just doing it on my second playthrough, I came to enjoy the design elements of the dungeon and relish the sick challenge of it. I won't take away from your suffering at all though; it really can be maddening.
im not ashamed to admit the most i made it was to perspective. the first time i played i got to full tilt before i rage shut off the game and swore id never try this dungeon again.. well today i spent the last 5 hours failing alot... if i counted right...434 deaths in total.. made it to perspective and gave it my best before i finally waved the white flag. tho i failed this i would not have made it anywhere as far wirhout your video.... so thank you. tho im prob for real not going in again. it was actually fun on the parts where it wasnt making me rage from the fails....and yeah landing the regalia took me 54 tries as it was... ffs that shit was rough
Thank you for saving my new PS5 slim. I ALMOST made it fly through the sky. Plus the developers made an accuracy focused dungeon with a character that has poor movement control.
I feel that there should have been a psn trophy for this dungeon. This dungeon was top tier awesome and most players don't even know it exists. At least having a trophy associated with the dungeon would have possibly had people looking into it
Do you have any good tips for the end of the Wall section? I hate anything involving balancing and I can't seem to get past the part where you walk and jump on those narrow beams to exit the area. I get uncontrollable sweaty palms and fall every time.
The part near the top of the room on the rafters? My first tip is to take it slow. Also, stop any time you need to make a 90 degree turn and point the camera where you are going before moving. Finally, if you need to jump to another thin railing, point down the length of your target so you can afford to overshoot it a little.
@@ElDuende05 So I actually finished before you replied, but thank you! I couldn't have done it without your video. I also super appreciate that you still respond to people's questions here. "Take it slow" is definitely what I did haha. In some places you were running down beams that were technically wide enough probably, but even there I was super careful haha.
@@ElDuende05 No need to apologize, it's just a game, not life or death :D (Well, many deaths for Noctis.) Also I always find that if I ask for help, I somehow perform better knowing help is on the way. It helps me relax.
The black belt reward at the end of this dungeon was kinda underwhelming especially when you have the Magitek V2 armor from that robot asshole. Challenging and pretty cool dungeon anyways. Thank you so much for the guide👍
Thank you so much for this video! It took me six hours but i finally go to the sphere thanks to this! Also, how do u regen ur stamina and glow green after u run out of it?? is it an assencion trick?
It's been a long time, but if you press the sprint button again (I think) right as you run out of stamina you'll get a second wind. It's just a matter of...timing.
Took me 6.5 hours my first time on Xbox closer to when it came out (no guide) . I avoided this dungeon on every successive play through. Gotta complete it at least once on the ps5. Tonight’s the night
You're very welcome. This was definitely not my first attempt! I'd estimate about 5 to 7 full run throughs? It was a while ago so I can't remember exactly, but it was about that many.
Made it to the final section died right after the spikes got sent back to the beginning is there a way back without going through it all again or am I screwed 😒
It’s been a long time since I’ve booted up the game but iirc if you came out that door in the big room with three doors you can use it to get back up top without having to go through everything again.
There’s a shortcut you open early in that section that should allow you to circle back around if you fall down. If you feel even before that, you might have to circle back to the door you re-entered the main room from below and redo the segment from scratch.
You can actually buy those new weapons you got in this dungeon from shop/blacksmith in chapter 14 in Hammerhead (nighttime) right before going to Insomnia
That’s true. I think technically the only unique item in the entire dungeon is the Black Hood, though there are some odd items like the Zu Beak etc. in a well hidden secret area. This dungeon also provides the greatest single source of coins; it’s easy to cap out on those if you’re not careful.
Thank you bro thank you for your guidance you are such a great guy. I have stuck in there for 8 hours. You are my savior. By the way in the pitioss ruins I can’t find the (white Sage) do you know where is it? P.S. I am foreign if I use wrong grammar I’m sorry
Glad you found the guide helpful. I am not aware of an item called White Sage in Pitioss Ruins. Is it possible it has a different name in English? For a searchable, text version of this guide, you can check gamefaqs: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/932981-final-fantasy-xv/faqs/74473
Ah, I see. There is a note on a wiki or two about there being a White Sage in there. It's possible I missed it and there is one found somewhere inside, but I was pretty thorough and it's also possible those wiki articles are mistaken. If you do find one let me know!
Quick tip: When you unlock the "Shortcuts" (those faces surrounded in red) you can leave the dungeon and save. That way you can come back to it later. Sure it'll take a full 10-15 min to get back to where you were, but not 2.5 hours lol
Good tip. Another one is that on your way out you can jump into a hazard just before your most recent checkpoint repeatedly and the game will effectively teleport you to the entrance, making the run out take less than a minute from most areas.
Is it worth doing this dungeon if I don't care to complete FF15 to 100% and the gill that I would get? But I want to 100% this game so il prob gonna do it
Ok, so you missed the wyvern lance and flame gun as well... Where the hell are they?! Starting to think that "official" weapon guide is wrong. Didn't know about the spot with the dragon claw etc. Thumbs way up!
I wonder if they mixed up Pitioss with one of the other endgame dungeons. I have an extremely vague recollection of finding something called “flame gun” at the end of the one near where you have Cor in your party briefly at the beginning of the game.
Hrm, seems like that was Keycatrich’s menace dungeon and the hyper magnum. I can’t check my file at this moment but my suspicion is bad info got passed around until several incorrectly listed those in Pitioss. I could be wrong though…
So does this dungeon eventually give you an accessory to restore your real life sanity? But in all seriousness this the most unfun thing I may have ever done in any game ever (this is probably not entirely true but it definitely is a competitor for the top spot). Very interesting and clever design but incredibly frustrating and unenjoyable and made worse by the lack of concern for the players time. It would be one thing if the player was given some kind of auto save point a couple times throughout the dungeon or a way to teleport to the entrance and back to take a break. This entire dungeon is literal hell and Hiroyuki Nakamura as earned an extra special place on my video game designer shit list. I have never seen something suck all of the fun out of a game I otherwise so thoroughly enjoyed so quickly. (Haven't done the Menace dungeons yet as despite having done all of the dungeons normally, Ezma has nothing useful to say to me still so I can't speak as to how those are.)
I feel like the menace dungeons were a bit less fun for me, but that's probably because they all mostly felt same-y. This one, while definitely frustrating, was unique enough an experience that I grew to like it.
I died so many times that nowadays I can get through the dungeon without collecting all items. My first playthrough was like 4 hrs, but once I was done, I rekt the car thus forcing me to redo this dungeon lol 😆 Next day since my deaths were so vivid in this dungeon I just try to remember where to go and finished in 1 hour and 20 minutes this, saved at camp this time before I got back to the car.
Out of all the walkthroughs I was seeing for this dungeon, this video is the best. You honestly got all 100% items, had no cuts, and even took the time for the items to load so that the viewers can confirm what they got. I'm incredibly impressed at your dedication to this dungeon and glad I watched this.

your welcim friend
You may have gotten more Items, Coins, and Shortcuts than me but I got way more Deaths.
Lol!!!
73 deaths over 5 hours.
haha best comment
Believe me, I had my share of deaths in this place too. This was just my cleanest run, which made the most sense for a tutorial.
I really should’ve taken count of my deaths from the beginning of the dungeon but I would probably have hundreds 😭
you deserve a special place in heaven my friend it took me 5h to complete With this video guide, can you imagine if us mortals didnt have you?
This dungeon made my cortisol levels sky rocket. This really the most annoying and awful bandage they put on this game.
Yup already busy for 2,5 hours and half way. I am exhausted, annoyed and broke the r1 button because I threw my controller several times. I am a pianist and have very steady hands and fine motoric skills. But this is just insane.

Thank you so much for this awesome guide. Thanks to you i had a harder tie landing the dam Regalia than i did actually completing this hell pit
They really could have improved the flight controls.
Amazing guide, still useful all the way in the distant and strange future of late 2021!
Glad to hear it!
this guide helped me through a stressful dungeon! props for showing the failures as well!
I wanted viewers to have as authentic an experience as possible and minimize disorienting cuts.
Years later in 2024 I’m coming back to watch this video. You did amazing not one item skipped and the dedication. Now I hated the perspective part can we all agree here and a few jumps took me way longer than I would like to admit. Thank you for your hard work its probably saved people a life time.
Other TH-camrs need to make note of this video, this is how u do a walk-through
I appreciate the comment :)
5 years later and this was by far the best video Ive found, completed the dungeon with all items, 6 deaths in around 2 hours! great work, thank you
Well done! Was that the last thing you had left or are there other things you haven’t completed yet?
@@ElDuende05 Thank you!
I still have a majority of the higher level menace dungeons and Omega to do, also level 103 to trying to level up as much as possible - any advice ?

Noctis really pissed me off in this dungeon, like tf you mean "cake, baby" I'M HOLDING ON TO DEAR LIFE HERE
This was amazing dude, thanks. My palms were sweating during the latter half of "rock bottom."
It's satisfying when you finally complete it.
Thank you for this! Your video is seriously the only place where I could see exactly where every item was and it was great to watch you do it because I’m very hands on. I can’t do something if I’m just told to do it, I have to see it done

Completion is its own reward :)
you need to make sure that you have mental clarity before doing this dungeon
It's also important to set aside enough time.
@@ElDuende05 rest mode is your friend. But do not go into rest mode without having "Keep Application Suspended" ticked, like I did. Doing the first half of Pitioss again was fun...
Ouch. At least you didn’t crash upon takeoff before saving, right?
I lost my mental fortitude just watching the video
No shit I probably should’ve taken that into account 😂😩
When you think it can't get any more ridiculous, it does...
This place constantly one ups itself, doesn't it?
Literally could've been avoided with a simple..."Hey Gladio, can you give a prince a boost here?"
But then you wouldn't have gotten the "enjoyment" of this dungeon.
Okay, now I see why someone might have problems with motion sickness.
Can you imagine playing this in VR?
Thank you for making this video, it really helped me alot when I was stuck, which was through most of this dungeon.
You're welcome!
This dungeon took me 10h to complete even with help of the video. Good video ty
It's definitely a long one. Congrats!
This is one of the best dungeons I've ever been into. for real.
Perspective is bs though. If you jump off too far, you have to do the whole thing over. The other parts have decent despawn locations.
It doesn't help that you have to jump off intentionally if you want to collect all the items there :(

This time took me about half the time to beat as the first time. I think the first time I did it was about 4 hours, the second time about 2 hours. First time I think I looked at little to no helping guides. It’s kind of fun figuring it out on your own
I also really enjoyed this dungeon, but I’m afraid after the complaints they received this will be the last of its kind.
@@ElDuende05Perhaps this is why there is no secret dungeon in FF16.
After many deaths, where to go slowly becomes engraved in your memory lol 😂
33:10 and 46:28 - the jumps that nearly broke my sanity! 😭 Thank you for this guide, would never have even attempted this dungeon without it 🙏
Glad to see it still helping people in 2024 :)
Thank you for taking the time for showing this guide, although it took me 4 hours to clear this dungeon. I'm sure that I will take a lot longer than that without your tutorial.
Glad it was helpful.
I would have never done this dungeon without your guide. Your guide made me faster than the 2 minute way or whatever lol
Glad it came in handy.
2022. Done. All of it. Full Tilt and Perspective were just a lot of fun. Wall and Rock Bottom were super cool. None of it was easy. Some of it was traumatic. Ascent and Gateway had parts that were so frustrating I'm never going back. Thanks for the walkthrough. It gave me hope there was going to be an ending.
Congrats on your achievement! Did you get the secret item pack on that ledge after the blind jump too?
That shit took me nearly four hours to beat. I thought I could've beaten it without help but I was very wrong. Thanks for uploading this now 5 year old guide. It was... an experience.
You’re very welcome! At the time I couldn’t find a guide to collect all the items so I decided to create my own. Didn’t expect it to become so popular :)
The very good very thorough walkthrough and you don't actually speak to explain anything so I don't feel like I'm a child getting lectured. So thank you
Thanks! I'll admit my main reason for no voice over is lack of a good microphone, but glad you like the style.
this was the dumbest maze, and dungeon I've ever have done... thank you for the tutorial, happy new year!
3 months late, but Happy new year to you too!
Hey man, i don't know if you'll read this but thank you! This video was really helpfull and amazingly well done.
I did eventually read this. Glad it helped.
Would have never been able to do this without this guide. Thanks a million!
Glad I could help!
Tysm! I wanted those 12 coins in the cage at 42 min and could not figure out how to get there! This was the only guide I found that showed it
Part of the reason I made this guide. Nobody shows that stuff for dons reason :-/
thank you so much! this was very helpful. the first time i cleared this dungeon i used a written guide and it was an infuriating experience. your video made my second time in pitioss so much easier!

just the guide I needed, 100% all objects, other guides should be removed from YT. Thank you!!!!!
Wish i knew about this video before starting this dungeon 5hours ago …
Fortunately the gates and shortcuts remain open once you get outside and save, so it’s actually surprisingly quick to go back in and pick up anything you missed. Other than the obvious Black hood, notable loot includes a cache of rare items such as Zu beak on a secret ledge near the bottom of the diagonal area and a ton of coins in one of the side cages in the statue room.
@@ElDuende05 thank you 🙏🏻
this dungeon is so well designed. it took me forever to complete without consulting some guide
Thank you for doing this vid. I followed you every step for 3.30 hours !!, anyway I done this !!
That's quick, well done!
Man, even with a dope ass guide, this dungeon took me 5 hours and I died 73 times. I did some math to show how silly this dungeon is:
I died more times in this empty-ass dungeon than I have in literally every other dungeon and menace dungeon in the entire game combined.
If I'm not mistaken, I've experienced a total of 5 deaths during my entire playthrough up to deciding to try this dungeon. I crashed the Regalia Type-F 3 times trying to land on the runway, bringing that figure up to 8 deaths, pre-Pitios. During this dungeon run I died 73 times.
So after completing this dungeon I can say that over the course of my now 141 hours, 17 minutes, and 30 seconds of my current FFXV playthrough thus far, I've died a total of 81 times, and of those 81 deaths 73 of them were during the past 5 hours I just spent in this goddamn dungeon.
75/81 is 0.925(repeating), so 92.5% of the deaths I've experienced over the past 141.2916 hours in this game, 92.5% occurred during past 5 hours. That's absolutely ridiculous lol.
To sum up: 141.2916 hours in, and 92.5% of my total 81 deaths have been over the last 5 hours. Of my 81 total deaths, now only 6.2% of them have involved monsters of any kind lmao. That's just silly.
I found Costlemark Tower more difficult personally, but this was definitely more time consuming my first time.
How do you know the ZuBeak etc. items area in Full Tilt?? That's insane! I am interested in the fan theory of Pitioss and currently working on my own investigation, this video really helps a lot! A real 100% guide. Thank you.
I vaguely remember a post on gamefaqs that pointed them out which I found when I was trying to confirm whether or not I’d missed anything. I’m glad you find this helpful; would love to read / watch your analysis when you finish :)
@@ElDuende05 I see. Couldn't promise my own theory can ever be done haha, but will post it out if found something new.
Also I like the way the of this smooth walkthrough without cutting, that's amazing.
@@winterffxv That was an important point for me since I thought cutting too much would be too disorienting. The place is confusing enough without me skipping sections :)
This dungeon would have been OK in say a Zelda game or 3d platformer, but ffxv doesn't have good controls for this. Thanks for this video, it helped me a lot, way more than reading that stupid gamefaqs guide i was reading. It's harder to understand walkthroughs when you read them vs watching one and I'm glad you made this. Helped a lot of us frustrated players out, thank you so much! Kudos to you and good job!!!
That gamefaqs guide is probably mine lol. I linked to this video guide from there since I figured it would be much easier to follow a video as you noted. I’m thinking about making some of the other text guides I made into videos too.
@@ElDuende05 i think it might have been like the second or third walkthrough on gamefaqs, I'm late to the party and only started playing this game in 2022, but i think i prefer water theme dungeons in Zelda to this dungeon and that's only because the controls. Noctis keeps moving even after I've jumped and landed, had the same issue with red dead 2 with Arthur doing the same thing lol, i think they probably just needed to refine the controls so it's not so sensitive but also so the jumps don't frustrate people as much. But other than that it is a genius dungeon, i just think the 72 hours i spent on it i wish i could cut out some of that time falling. I think the next game i play after this one will be horizon forbidden west since i think 500 hrs burnt me out on ffxv. Btw did you defeat noctis on episode ignis and aranea in episode prompto? I didn't even attempt those two challenges after seeing how hard they were and i was like nope Im not skilled enough for this haha.
I actually didn’t play any of the party member DLC when it came out other than a bit of the Gladio one. I sorta wrapped up the game before the DLC came out and never got back to it. I’ll have to circle back at some point.
Thanks so much, big help. Get this though, right after I finished the dungeon, I got out, forgot to save then crashed my car. RIP, guess I'm gonna have to do it again.
Thank YOU for this comment! I was about to take off and seeing this made me save, then I proceeded to crash as well lmao
@@whitebreadone I’m genuinely happy I was able to prevent you from having to do the ENTIRE dungeon all over again 😭😂
@Luke S, I'm sorry to hear about that!
@Whitebread I'm glad at least you were able to avoid that fate.
@@ElDuende05 My fate was decided years ago. I’m still salty to this day about that crash 😂
@@Gluesnif Did you end up going back to finish it again or gave up after the kaboom?
21:44 - beautiful! i was trying to jump directly from the first platform on to that ledge with the spikes and needless to say it was VERY time consuming
Following the guide, I took almost 4 hours. This dungeon is among the least enjoyable experiences I've ever had with videogames
Nobody forced you to complete it
I loved it, took me like a week to do but I didn't use any guide lol.
After my first playthrough I felt the same way, but after just doing it on my second playthrough, I came to enjoy the design elements of the dungeon and relish the sick challenge of it. I won't take away from your suffering at all though; it really can be maddening.
The place does grow on you, doesn't it?
It took me 5 hours to finish the dungeon. Thanks for this guide!
Glad I could help.
Followed along for my playthrough. It was a lot of help, thanks!!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this thorough guide, you're the best!
My pleasure.
im not ashamed to admit the most i made it was to perspective. the first time i played i got to full tilt before i rage shut off the game and swore id never try this dungeon again.. well today i spent the last 5 hours failing alot... if i counted right...434 deaths in total.. made it to perspective and gave it my best before i finally waved the white flag. tho i failed this i would not have made it anywhere as far wirhout your video.... so thank you. tho im prob for real not going in again. it was actually fun on the parts where it wasnt making me rage from the fails....and yeah landing the regalia took me 54 tries as it was... ffs that shit was rough
Thank you for saving my new PS5 slim. I ALMOST made it fly through the sky. Plus the developers made an accuracy focused dungeon with a character that has poor movement control.
Thanks for the great walkthrough I spent longer doing this then the whole story and it didn’t update the quest lol
There’s a quest that brings you here?
I feel that there should have been a psn trophy for this dungeon. This dungeon was top tier awesome and most players don't even know it exists. At least having a trophy associated with the dungeon would have possibly had people looking into it
I would have gone insane if it weren't for this amazing video! You rock, Duende! Thank you so much for this amazing guide!
Wow took me 6 hours. What a headache. Thanks for the video.
You're welcome!
God bless you , bro for the guide!!! Oh my, that was a tough dungeon))))
Congratulations on completing it :)
If someone has a modded version of this dungeon that's brightly lit I'd love to see it!
Would be fun to see what’s off in the distance.
Fantastic guide. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Do you have any good tips for the end of the Wall section? I hate anything involving balancing and I can't seem to get past the part where you walk and jump on those narrow beams to exit the area. I get uncontrollable sweaty palms and fall every time.
The part near the top of the room on the rafters? My first tip is to take it slow. Also, stop any time you need to make a 90 degree turn and point the camera where you are going before moving. Finally, if you need to jump to another thin railing, point down the length of your target so you can afford to overshoot it a little.
@@ElDuende05 So I actually finished before you replied, but thank you! I couldn't have done it without your video. I also super appreciate that you still respond to people's questions here. "Take it slow" is definitely what I did haha. In some places you were running down beams that were technically wide enough probably, but even there I was super careful haha.
Glad you got through it! Sorry I was late in my reply; work’s been crazy lately.
@@ElDuende05 No need to apologize, it's just a game, not life or death :D (Well, many deaths for Noctis.) Also I always find that if I ask for help, I somehow perform better knowing help is on the way. It helps me relax.
Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot.
My pleasure.
100 deaths but your Video saved my life xD
The black belt reward at the end of this dungeon was kinda underwhelming especially when you have the Magitek V2 armor from that robot asshole. Challenging and pretty cool dungeon anyways. Thank you so much for the guide👍
I refuse to do this dungeon ever again. Had me so freaking nerve wrecked. Do not love what amounts to walking through a M.C.Escher painting.
Coincidentally, M.C. Escher is one of my favorite artists.
If this was kings knight, you’d be a 5-Star Character
Thank you :)
Very Impressive! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks!!!
Please, someone tell me how to get back to 46:58. I went back to the entrance here after opening the door, but now I can't find where that door is.
Thank you so much for this!
You’re very welcome :)
I wish I would've done this walkthrough the first time, I had to go back to get everything I missed.
Hopefully it was faster the second time?
@@ElDuende05 well... maybe like an hour less. It seemed I was trying to get the record for the most deaths 😬
Thank you so much, it was of great help!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this video! It took me six hours but i finally go to the sphere thanks to this! Also, how do u regen ur stamina and glow green after u run out of it?? is it an assencion trick?
It's been a long time, but if you press the sprint button again (I think) right as you run out of stamina you'll get a second wind. It's just a matter of...timing.
@@ElDuende05 thanks!! This is truly great, I couldn't even get past the entrance on my own
Took me 6.5 hours my first time on Xbox closer to when it came out (no guide) . I avoided this dungeon on every successive play through. Gotta complete it at least once on the ps5. Tonight’s the night
Was looking for an item list and found your written walkthrough which led me here
Help please i fell at 47:40 and it shot me back to basically the beginning of the dungeon how do i get back without doing EVERYTHING over again
If you’ve been unlocking shortcuts along the way it should only take a few minutes to run back to where you were.
il est habitué en sale pour courir tout le temps.Pis y connait bien le donjon.👋👍🏆
gâteau, bébé!
Thanks a lot for this!! How many times did you do the complete dungeon? It seems impossible to me to only die 10 times.....
You're very welcome. This was definitely not my first attempt! I'd estimate about 5 to 7 full run throughs? It was a while ago so I can't remember exactly, but it was about that many.
@@ElDuende05 funny that you respond now, i recently started playing ff15 again and soon i'll be there again
@@Cutana Nice! Hopefully this tutorial helps you again.
@@ElDuende05 I'm sure it will, thank you!
Made it to the final section died right after the spikes got sent back to the beginning is there a way back without going through it all again or am I screwed 😒
It’s been a long time since I’ve booted up the game but iirc if you came out that door in the big room with three doors you can use it to get back up top without having to go through everything again.
Already spend 2 hour on this place and i say "F*** i need youtube" Thanks dude
Yvw
Sir, need to asked if i fall down at full circle..and 1 more wall to hit...so what can i do?
There’s a shortcut you open early in that section that should allow you to circle back around if you fall down. If you feel even before that, you might have to circle back to the door you re-entered the main room from below and redo the segment from scratch.
You can actually buy those new weapons you got in this dungeon from shop/blacksmith in chapter 14 in Hammerhead (nighttime) right before going to Insomnia
That’s true. I think technically the only unique item in the entire dungeon is the Black Hood, though there are some odd items like the Zu Beak etc. in a well hidden secret area. This dungeon also provides the greatest single source of coins; it’s easy to cap out on those if you’re not careful.
Thank you bro thank you for your guidance you are such a great guy.
I have stuck in there for 8 hours. You are my savior.
By the way in the pitioss ruins I can’t find the (white Sage) do you know where is it?
P.S. I am foreign if I use wrong grammar I’m sorry
Glad you found the guide helpful. I am not aware of an item called White Sage in Pitioss Ruins. Is it possible it has a different name in English? For a searchable, text version of this guide, you can check gamefaqs: gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/932981-final-fantasy-xv/faqs/74473
Ah, I see. There is a note on a wiki or two about there being a White Sage in there. It's possible I missed it and there is one found somewhere inside, but I was pretty thorough and it's also possible those wiki articles are mistaken. If you do find one let me know!
Thank you so much, never want to do this again
Quick tip: When you unlock the "Shortcuts" (those faces surrounded in red) you can leave the dungeon and save. That way you can come back to it later. Sure it'll take a full 10-15 min to get back to where you were, but not 2.5 hours lol
Good tip. Another one is that on your way out you can jump into a hazard just before your most recent checkpoint repeatedly and the game will effectively teleport you to the entrance, making the run out take less than a minute from most areas.
Is it worth doing this dungeon if I don't care to complete FF15 to 100% and the gill that I would get? But I want to 100% this game so il prob gonna do it
The general consensus is that it’s not worth it, but it’s a unique experience within the game so it’s up to you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
My pleasure.
man you saved my life. tanks
You're very welcome.
Ok, so you missed the wyvern lance and flame gun as well... Where the hell are they?! Starting to think that "official" weapon guide is wrong. Didn't know about the spot with the dragon claw etc. Thumbs way up!
I wonder if they mixed up Pitioss with one of the other endgame dungeons. I have an extremely vague recollection of finding something called “flame gun” at the end of the one near where you have Cor in your party briefly at the beginning of the game.
Hrm, seems like that was Keycatrich’s menace dungeon and the hyper magnum. I can’t check my file at this moment but my suspicion is bad info got passed around until several incorrectly listed those in Pitioss. I could be wrong though…
Cake, baby
This.
Excellent
Thanks
many thanks!!!
You're welcome!
Very helpful, thanks a lot :-) :-)
You're welcome!
Crazy Dungeon!! Final Mario Fantasy!!
I really liked this place, unlike most people.
@@ElDuende05 Thanks for the cool walkthrough!
Yvw
yes you helped a lot. thanx friend :)
My pleasure.
Full Tilt makes my head hurt so damn much
I grew to like that section eventually.
So does this dungeon eventually give you an accessory to restore your real life sanity?
But in all seriousness this the most unfun thing I may have ever done in any game ever (this is probably not entirely true but it definitely is a competitor for the top spot). Very interesting and clever design but incredibly frustrating and unenjoyable and made worse by the lack of concern for the players time. It would be one thing if the player was given some kind of auto save point a couple times throughout the dungeon or a way to teleport to the entrance and back to take a break.
This entire dungeon is literal hell and Hiroyuki Nakamura as earned an extra special place on my video game designer shit list. I have never seen something suck all of the fun out of a game I otherwise so thoroughly enjoyed so quickly. (Haven't done the Menace dungeons yet as despite having done all of the dungeons normally, Ezma has nothing useful to say to me still so I can't speak as to how those are.)
I feel like the menace dungeons were a bit less fun for me, but that's probably because they all mostly felt same-y. This one, while definitely frustrating, was unique enough an experience that I grew to like it.
Is there any narrative content in this dungeon?
None for the main game, but some people have drawn parallels to a journey taken by Ifrit into the underworld to rescue someone.
a 10/10 dungeon
thanks for this
My pleasure.
I can see I will NOT enjoy this dungeon. I might rage quit
Curious if you made it all the way through or not?
@@ElDuende05 I guess we'll never know.
:(
If the platform moves east at 2mph and Noctis runs west on the platform at 4mph, when should he jump onto the spiky cylinder fam
*inserts math meme*
Bro how many times did you go through this dungeon. The controls were so bad I died so many times. Once was enough for me xD
About 6 or 7 times. I found something enjoyable about the challenge for some reason.
You deserve 100,000 APs for this
I will accept your 100,000 APs :)
I'm pretty sure I beat everyone on how many deaths I got 😂😂😂
I died so many times that nowadays I can get through the dungeon without collecting all items.
My first playthrough was like 4 hrs, but once I was done, I rekt the car thus forcing me to redo this dungeon lol 😆 Next day since my deaths were so vivid in this dungeon I just try to remember where to go and finished in 1 hour and 20 minutes this, saved at camp this time before I got back to the car.
