@@e2k220 Not they are not. Specially if you're a new player with random gear you get playing dungeons. A good example of that is the Diabolos boss fight, it's almost impossible to not wipe if every player is going in blind. Yeah you could keep trying and figure out the mechanics but for the sake of roulette players and other veterans just helping I'd rather not fuck up, unless I'm in a party already.

@@TheLynx30 I said "msq dungeons/trials are stupidly easy" not optional side quest fights. I have never played a mmo before and I started playing earlier this year. I had no problems clearing msq fights blind all the way up to shadowbringers. The mechanics are all self explanatory. Even if you wipe there was always someone in the party who could help. If you care about the story and the experience watching a guide over a msq dungeon isn't worth it.
Thanks for the guide Mizzteq. I've been playing FFXIV for about 3 weeks now and this is my favourite dungeon so far, really good fun and nicely different.
I've ran this about half dozen times now with no problems. I still feel like i'm missing something unless i watch this guide, thx Mizzteq, you've wrecked me
This fight was fun doing it day 1 with a party that had no idea what we were doing. I got a good, funny group that kept making jokes about everything as we all ran around going "oh god what's happening!?"
I KNEW I was doing this dungeon correctly! I ventured the Antitower for the first time yesterday, and upon encountering the first boss, did things go downhill. While our tank and other DPS turned into frogs, the healer and I were left to deal with taking down the singing adds. during the constant AOE phase, I was doing what I could to avoid the avoidable, but our healer wasn't exactly healing. As a result, we died. BUUUUT being that I was a Bard, the blame fell onto me for "not watching a video on the dungeon." well after watching this, I can honestly say; Hah! suck it! I knew what I was doing, the blame was poor teamwork.
From what i've seen when I run the AntiTower dungeon, on the last boss with the first Dollhouse mechanic. The Tank and the Healer are always first then it switches to the DPS.
The new version of Warden's Paean (instant cast, 45 second cool down, removes a detrimental effect) works on the tank concussion from the first boss, so any fellow Bards out there can feel a bit extra helpful by getting rid of it as soon as it appears.
Hey Mizzteq! Thanks for this awsome guide! I always follow your guides since my first dungeon Halatali. I also always follow your live streamings on twitch and you always do an awsome job! Take care and see you on your live streamings!
I have to be honest with you... As a person who actually enjoys tanking and enjoys a thankless profession... I DREAD tanking antitower, because it brings out my deep rooted fear of Dolls, especially ones that look like Calcabrina, seriously I feel nauseated every time I have to face that thing
With the first boss the Healer always seems to be frogged along with one of the other three. Against Calcabrina she will always do the tank and healer or both DPS to the "dollhouse". It is possible that it is just my luck (I main an Ast) with these fights thus far, but it seems to be a constant with both boss fights.
Yeah, for me I've noticed she'll target the DPS first, and then tank + healer for the rest of the fight after. Been farming that dungeon like crazy and it has always happened in that order for me.
+Clearfieldman I think I had it not target me ones with Frog Song as a SCH, but otherwise always was. For Dollhouse itself, the first time has always been the two DPS, while every time after was the Tank/Healer. Also, the damage from Calcabrina in the Dollhouse part is amazingly laughable.
Most confusing dungeon ever. Upside down? Upside up? I have no clue. And if things werent wierd enough, Calcabrina. Oh and look! Ziggy Stardust. References, gag reflexes and sleepless nights galore! 😂 But that's why I love it
Yes, doll fight definitely shows we need a complete remake of FF4...but, only after 6. 6 is still the greatest game ever, a complete remake, with more added in, could be the best. Or, would be.
+SabreDirge I like how Mizz is straightforward and gets right to the point. Happy goes into a million different directions before even getting into the actual strategy of the fight.
They musta nerfed the hell outta this thing the bosses barely got a round of their mechanics off before they were dead, the frog didn't even manage to get his singing guys out before he died.
Ooof. I clicked this and suddenly heard "HI" without any warning, scared the crap out of me, thought someone was talking to me >.> You should make the music in your videos start a few seconds before the vocals for antisocial people like us!
+Alex Aust In most cases yeah but its possible to avoid mobs and such by either staying out of thier threat area or locking them out of the boss area's

instantly my favorite guide creator. I'll be back!
Had me thinking we'd get to play part of it upside down. Such a tease.
Catching up on patches very slowly, and these guides have been amazing.
Same bro! Same
You don't need to look at guides for msq dungeons don't spoil it for yourself.
@Rontron msq dungeons/trials are stupidly easy and can be cleared by anyone with brain there isn't a need to look at guides.

Thank you for all these guides MTQ you have really been a big help since i have started FFXIV and I have used no other guide but yours♥
Doing the relic quests in 2021 and this guide is STILL relevant. I love this channel
Thanks for the guide Mizzteq.
I've been playing FFXIV for about 3 weeks now and this is my favourite dungeon so far, really good fun and nicely different.
watched this while waiitng for friends to get out an rp and was able to explain the mechanics to them. Thank you for letting us smoothly clear!
I've ran this about half dozen times now with no problems. I still feel like i'm missing something unless i watch this guide, thx Mizzteq, you've wrecked me
FF4 was my first FF game, so cool to get here and see Calcabrina which in my opinion is the hardest fight in 4! These guides have been lifesaving!
This fight was fun doing it day 1 with a party that had no idea what we were doing. I got a good, funny group that kept making jokes about everything as we all ran around going "oh god what's happening!?"
Antitower with a group that had no idea what Ziggy did was great.
Omggggggg FFIV bosss!!!! What a nostalgia here!!!! Always miss Cecil Kain and the gangs
Very detailed and quick to get to the point, perfect guide.
Glad to see you uploading again!!

I've noticed with the Calcabrina fight that the first dollhouse is the two DPS that are turned. Subsequent dollhouses will turn the tank and healer.
no David Bowie joke? I'm disappointed. Ziggy Stardust is too
+Jorge Montoya As am I, thought for sure she'd make one because of the Ziggy Stardust fight.
+Jorge Montoya Not to mention all the Rainbow Connection references with Zuro Roggo.
Great guide, will be putting it to the test later tonight.
From what i've seen when I run the AntiTower dungeon, on the last boss with the first Dollhouse mechanic. The Tank and the Healer are always first then it switches to the DPS.
+tunder545 That's funny because i've had the exact opposite for 3 runs now ... Our 2 dps were always first.

Calcabrina fight makes me want a newgen remake of FFIV
Hey Mizzteq! Thanks for this awsome guide! I always follow your guides since my first dungeon Halatali.
I also always follow your live streamings on twitch and you always do an awsome job!
Take care and see you on your live streamings!
2021 using this .... this queen has made me complete this whole game so far
I have to be honest with you... As a person who actually enjoys tanking and enjoys a thankless profession... I DREAD tanking antitower, because it brings out my deep rooted fear of Dolls, especially ones that look like Calcabrina, seriously I feel nauseated every time I have to face that thing
SE finnaly learned in Heavensward how to do dungeon bosses properly.
when i play this dungeon, and when i get turned into a doll, I am so totally going to type "Play with me!" or something like that
ziggy stardust. I dig it
thanks. This was very helpful
Yay! New vids from Mizzteq!
first time in this dungeon, me in chat: "Oh no, the dolls from ff4..." Tank. "YEP! WE GOT DOLLS TO MURDER, GET OVER HERE!"
Thanks heaps, right to the point love it.
These videos are how I cure myself of tankxiety
The burning question, though: Does Ziggy play guitar?
Amazing guide, MTQ. Thanks!
amazing guide!
Thank you for a concise and to the point guide. EVERYONE ELSE LEARN FROM THIS

I've noticed it too. looks like it's mechanic
Yeah, for me I've noticed she'll target the DPS first, and then tank + healer for the rest of the fight after. Been farming that dungeon like crazy and it has always happened in that order for me.
+Nodoff42 yeah actually that is how mine went now that you say that... think it is meant to be this way or just a bug they will fix next maintenance?
+Clearfieldman I think I had it not target me ones with Frog Song as a SCH, but otherwise always was. For Dollhouse itself, the first time has always been the two DPS, while every time after was the Tank/Healer. Also, the damage from Calcabrina in the Dollhouse part is amazingly laughable.
Ziggy
Stardust
Is this some David Bowie reference o.O
Thanks for the guide. I personally hate antitower but yeah!
OMG I want a few of these dolls for my house!! :D
what armor is the tank wearing at the end, in the group victory pose?
Sadly I had to watch mr. happy on all the new guides lol but I rather be watching you much better explaining to me
So does Calcabrina's brace work on magic damage as well?
Yes, it does. I casted combust when not entirely in front of her and got "kicked".
Most confusing dungeon ever. Upside down? Upside up? I have no clue. And if things werent wierd enough, Calcabrina. Oh and look! Ziggy Stardust. References, gag reflexes and sleepless nights galore! 😂 But that's why I love it
You get the Calca minion from the Calcabrina bossfight, right????
+ashbury137 Yes, but it doesn't always drop.
Yes, doll fight definitely shows we need a complete remake of FF4...but, only after 6. 6 is still the greatest game ever, a complete remake, with more added in, could be the best. Or, would be.
Good guide but happy beat you again
at least Mizzteq's one is more accurate and correct :P (no hating like them both)
+Randy Grewal Happy sucks.
+SabreDirge I like how Mizz is straightforward and gets right to the point. Happy goes into a million different directions before even getting into the actual strategy of the fight.
yeah he won and his guide is wrong. I'll take accuracy over speed anyday. Hers feel more professional and not just for views.
who cares ya fuckin nerd?
Hey MTQ! Are you from behemoth server? I'm pretty sure I saw someone just like you and with the same nickname :)
She is.
Thankyou :)
those dolls look like ones from madness returns
Bitch babies
This is another one where you really need team work. It can go like clockwork or with a half dozen wipes.
Hello my baby!
Hello my honey!
Hello my ragtime gaaaaa-aal!
Send me a kiss by wire!
Baby my heart's on fire!
They musta nerfed the hell outta this thing the bosses barely got a round of their mechanics off before they were dead, the frog didn't even manage to get his singing guys out before he died.

About to do thid dungeon for the first time tonight. Not looking forward to it since I HATE dolls, especially ones that look like these ones. Ugh....
Gives a whole new meaning to dont play with dolls....
This is main quest dungeon
Calbrena! from FF2! omg lol
FF4 actually
+Rue Leonheart 4 in Japan not America.
i know this is 5 mounths old but its both as its been released as 4 later
Ziggy casts Stardust? Lol I wonder how many people miss the reference.
I'd question all these gated areas in the new dungeons but it's just Square's fucking fetish at this point.
+Alex Aust its to prevent escaping the mobs and progressing through the dungeon without killing them first
seph entrikin Don't they just persue you till the ends of the earth in instances?
+Alex Aust In most cases yeah but its possible to avoid mobs and such by either staying out of thier threat area or locking them out of the boss area's
seph entrikin I see. I was being hyperbolic with my statement, but it does seem a little excessive to me.
lol, some weird shit right tthere.
Hey baby, let's date.
People already knew how to do everything before you posted all the new content....lame
