Duels Are HARD! - Getting Every Achievement in FFXIV #10
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- Some of the most fun content in Final Fantasy XIV can also be the most frustrating. Today we're taking another look at the Bozjan Southern Front duels - Sartauvoir, Lyon, and The Gabriel. Today we seek to find out who would win in a fight - an entire Gigachad Garlean legion, or one single angry Lalafell?

Max Piggy is a gigachad. The guy helped me out while I was leveling up Bozja on Aether and he even organized impromptu DRN runs for those of us looking to prog into Zadnor. What a chad.
i've been scruffed up by piggy into a party before, they're so nice!!!
Man I've only been a couple times in the field and I remember max covering my ass. What an amazing fellow
Can confirm, Max Piggy is legendary. Everyone should give MP all the dotes.
Wait no way ive also run into them on aether
Bro I LOVE Max Piggy! They definitely know their shit. Always happy to see Piggy in Bozja
Thank you for making **TREMBLE** a running gag in your videos.
The word came up as part of MSQ and I heard the soundclip in my head thanks to these videos, lol
TREMBLE
Cider carrying the ff14 TH-cam content lately. Thanks for this series. I love seeing you progress on the long grinds
rinon and rath games have had some good vids lately as well
14:30 'Why do dumb things happen to stupid people' ... gonna steal this line.
I'm always looking for another excuse to spend time in Bozja. I really love the instance zones in this game! Got some pretty good progress this week as well. How about all of you? Earn any cool achievements lately?
Bozja actually requiring headthinks is a nice change from the daily roulette grind.
I received Siege Liege today running CLL for the 50th time trying to get the fucking note.
I got done with my Mentor roulette Grind c:
Didn't get an achievement for it but I finally got the tidus card and finished the whole collection of triple triad cards.
i love the music in bozja
As someone who doesn't play ff14 and just kind of stumbled into this awesome content, i will admit sometimes it's like listening to someone speak french in japanese.
I play it (admittedly very casually) and at least it comes across as a human language to you lol
To sum up the entire video:
TREMBLE
SUCH DEVASTATION
"Imagine fighting Gabriel with 300 ping" that's the great part, I don't have to!
I had the honor of being a lil Bozjan Baby healer in Gigachad MaxPiggy's party once when he was on Aether. I focus targeted the man who was a Black Mage and he kindly carried me through every encounter...what a legend...
I look forward to these every week. Thank you so much for the effort you go through to make these.
I find myself waiting on the edge of the seat for these videos. I don't know how you push through the monotonous grinds, but there's just something about this as a series that fills me with glee every time I watch it
As intimidating as bozja is to get into, it will always hold a special place in my heart. The people you meet, the memories you make. Im glad i decided to get up at 6 am to grind with the many other players doing it too.
MaxPiggy saves me in Aether, too. Man is a legend.
I don't leave comments under any youtube videos Ever but i have been following this series from the start and you actually are the person who made me want to revisit bozja and now it's basically """My Content/Niche""". I am cheering for you with sincere heart in all of this because you showed me the beauty of this part of ffxiv!! it's a nice part of the game where you can feel the community and sense of cooperation. it's thanks to you that i decided to seek out this experience for myself and now i'm a huge addict fully in love with bozja and the community surrounding it - especially the amazing people who run DRS discord servers on Light DC and lead the fights so others can get their dog mount too!
i love your content and i look forward to your videos every time! you can make all of this happen and i will be cheering on you every step of the way :)
had basically same experience as you but with Eureka, you'd probably enjoy that too
@@kiiturii i enjoy eureka too, had some of the most wholesome situational connections with people there and that's what really makes me love this side of playing an mmo the most! fun and casual cooperation with other players is amazing. there is so much beauty to be seen in these people we sometimes only barely interacted with but they still left us a part of them when our paths crossed in these big zones :,)
As someone who loves Eureka and Bozja, it's so nice to see a creator getting into it instead of hating on it. Hope to see you in there some day!
So glad I ran across your channel. This has been one of the most consistently funny ongoing XIV video series I've seen! Best of fortunes in your endeavours! Can't get enough of how good your voice sounds. (Also, opening with "Kingdom of Baron" every time hooked me on the spot. Just sayin')
This has become such a welcome weekend video that I look forward to. Such a nice and chill achievent progression video. I was truly at the edge of my seat if you would clear the solo fights, and every fail was like my sports team getting behind in points.
You can get EXP from the animals and the plants on your Island Sanc, but ONLY if you are manually gathering the stuff yourself, automaton = no exp
Crop beds give 120 exp every 2 days, doesn't sound much but with 20 beds that's a total of 2400 exp every 2 days. Collecting stuff from your animals is 50 exp per day, for a total of 1000 exp per day for 20 animals.
Also you can actually get exp from crafting food for your animals as well as crafting the restrains used for catching them, 10 exp per item and as you can have a max of 999 items that's ALOT of exp you can get in a big lump.
Glad we're still getting some excellent FFXIV content, look forward to these!
Was super excited to run CEs alongside you last week! Hope to see you in the Bozjan battlefield again soon 😊
Thank you for blessing us, Max Piggy
HOLY SHIT THAT ME, im dead as usual, I HAD A FEELING IT WAS YOU. was just late night farming and got lucky to be in the vid, this kingsglaive is very happy
(for the entire bozja part it was me looking for my big dumb ass in this vid, also was an honor to see you win that duel in game)
Already said this on another video, but thanks for the series. I had to have my cat put down this week and these videos have been a great comfort.
I’m sorry to hear that I lost my dog awhile back and was devastated.
Yay! Another one of these! Didn't post my A-Rank progress last week but up to 2600 which is another slow-down as I focused on Maps this past week because I love making GIL. And Maps are an easy way to make it!
thank you for uploading these
Nice to see you clearing the second duel even if it was Lyon. Lyon is probably the hardest of the duels. Also, I know how it feels to fat finger a vital hotkey. I've done it too many times to count, lolz. XD
Good luck trying to beat Lyon. Your fellow Lalafell, Blueberry Dreamweaver, can't wait to follow in your footsteps. (Well, maybe not in some of the achievements, but I am going for the Triple Decker XI(?) achievement for getting 344 unique Triple Triad cards. So far I have sucked at every Triple Triad match but then again I only got two good cards.
i am unnaturally excited for the 'finally open all my lockboxes' stream lmao i wonder how much more you'll get before you finish the duels needed for points 😂
Another banger, I was on the edge of my seat during those duels! Thank you for making this series, it is some of my favourite FF14 content here on the youtubes
LOL I remember you looking at me. Proud to be this week's femele. Ty for this new kind of notoriety, hahah. I'm also an achievement hunter--pretty sure that was my 499th Bozja CE; good luck on the rest of yours! :D Looking forward to watching you do all the fishing >.>
def my new fav series on yt ^^
Since the last video, I have defeated both Gabriel AND Lyon in a duel (the last video remotivated me to try those again!), reached level 70 on gunbreaker, completed 4 different steps of the Bozjan relic questline for various weapons for related achievements, crafted my 100th high quality item with blacksmith, obtained my Skysung, and then my Skybuilders tools for blacksmith, defeated Emerald Weapon (extreme) for the first time, defeated Diamond Weapon (extreme) for the first time, delivered my 120th custom delivery to Adkiragh and completed my 40th, and then my 80th unique blacksmith levequests. My last week was worth 135 achievement points and I currently sit at 19,155 points ingame, or 18,070 points on Lalachievements. I'm now ranked 75th on Adamantoise, and still climbing.
Edit: For the unfortunate death due to Manawall being on cooldown against Sartauvoir, you can use a new Manawall lost action to replace the old one and the cooldown resets.
Edit 2: Never mind, it came up later on in the video.
Edit 3: Congratulations on defeating Sartauvoir! I'm still on this guy personally. (I've only had one attempt so far.)
Grats on beating Saboteur the Inferno! I am not sure how you would feel about this, but just so you know, you can HEAVILY cut down the waiting times between duels if you go do Bozja on Dynamis, since you would get the instance all for yourself, you can spawn the CE, and since they scale with amount of people in the instance, they have very little HP, making them easily soloable (or can also bring a few stream people too) to get the duel.
And the best part? if you mess up either the CE qualification or the duel, you can leave the instance, and if you requeue into it, it will make a fresh instance again, meaning you no longer gotta wait a full hours to pop the CE again. You can basically pop a duel every 20 minutes or so.
"I am the death of flame"
Immortal Flames everywhere "I feel personally attacked"
I am ALMOST done with my first ARR relic! Zodiac complete, just started the final Zeta step. Been working on that - very slowly - for months now, whenever I have a few minutes I want to kill. Also up to 139/150 unique battle leves. Will probably finish both those this weekend, just need a few more leve allowances.
Working, slowly, on Tank You Paladin. Tanking is my least favorite role, but I've started using it for random content now and then, and finally gotten over my tankxiety. Now I just don't enjoy it, rather than actually fear it. :P
Holy shit, Max Piggy, he carried me through Bozja.
For anyone that doesn't do savage, this is about the same experience. You look at a fight, it looks super hard. You wipe on a few times and then it's super easy and you never know how you wiped in the first place. If you don't raid because it looks scary, go raid!
Being social enough to find a raid group is the hardest part ;;
@@shadders43 You just join PFs or find a static through The Balance. Don't really have to go and talk to people very much.
Now I just gotta keep it up... TREMBLE!!!!
17:20 And this is when I noticed the "child labor" quest over the mini map.
Good luck with your endeavor! Just catching up to all the achievements released AAR through Endwalker takes about 5 years due to all the time restricted items where you have to wait on weekly resets. Assuming you have a bunch of them started from your years of playing, you probably have 2-3 years left to catch up. Luckily getting all the relics from HW and SB are much easier now! There are like 650 relic weapons. A couple hundred crafting and gathering relics. I'm sitting at 24,000 points right now and have been playing since 1.0 came out with a few long breaks in there.
18:11 That mana wall missclick physically hurt
This week I focused on Fishing. I have never been a fan, but there are achievements for it. Plus it gives me stuff for collectables and desynthesis related achievements. I am currently at 8840/10000 for the hardest desynthesis achievement and i have logged 49% of all the fish in the game.
For an achievement hunter, you can't go wrong with getting your hands wet with fishing. There's a ton of achievement tied to that. If you want to speed up the "unique fish caught" achievements, spearfishing is very quick to provide a lot of log progress in a short time (assuming one hadn't focused on it to begin with). Grind on!
This has been my binge while coming back to catch up
I love the Red Comet fight. I am terrible at it, but I love the recurring bit where red chocobos can totally kick your ass at high level. I think that dates all the way back to Final Fantasy Tactics.
duels are what im hung up on in bozja for achievements myself, ill get em eventually tho. thanks for the inspiration cider
Congrats Cider, I Love watching you do Bozja, and I can confirm, that having 3000 ping makes it a nightmare that I am forever traumatised by red choco. I actually gave up on Bozja as My ping was so bad I was too embarrassed to inconvenience everyone else in the engagements.
Another shoutout to Max Piggy -homie is a true bro o7
Thought I saw you dueling Lyon the other day and guess I was right! Congrats on the sartauvoir kill!
Ahhhaa I was waiting for the next episode
I love how more raid voice calls are weasleing their way intREMBLE! Where you expecting a modicum of rust?
Keep goin, you'll reach your goal eventually 🎉🎉🎉 I'll stay with ya on that journey 🎉❤
I have a nice memory of farming the res achievement. I got my last one in a delubrum run, wrote in the chat that I was one res away from the achievement and this person went "oh allow me!" and ran in the deadly border so I could get them up. Everyone in the party cheered, it was actually heartwarming 😂❤
Lyon is the only duel I ever managed to beat (I just needed his field notes), and I quickly got to the point where I knew how to dodge all the things in Red Choctober, but would die & miss my chance for the duel cause too many other people died. I initially didn't want to help other people by marking myself with a safety dorito cause I thought it would lower my odds for getting picked for the duel, but it turns out that I got more duels by doing so cause at least we beat Red Choctober (and often people would still get a vuln stack at some point anyway).
The first drs I did was with Max Piggy. They are absolutely amazing
Now you got me looking at my achievement list and wondering what I can do. I've been playing for over 7 years and never cared about them before! I'm so far behind.
Flip that perspective: being so far behind just means you have oodles upon oodles of achievements you can progress through efficiently when you put your mind to it, all while probably being varied enough in required content to provide a good time.
The tremble sound effect is amazing 😂
As someone who's really into eureka, I thought I'd love bozja but I've barely touched it since it's weirdly intimidating to me. The duels are such a cool concept though, I might venture back into bozja one of these days just to try my hand at one.
"if i can't succeed at anything at least i can have a good time" damn good attitude
4:52 I'm training magic in Old School Runescape and that splash sound in the video threw me for a loop, lmao
runescape music immediately activated a primal thing within me, take me back to 200X. Anyway congratulations on that duel! These things are not easy, clearing them legit marks you among gamer ranks for sure! I'm jealous of your memory collection, I still need about 160 left of each to finish all resistance weapons.
Anyway no exciting achievements from me this week but I collected a couple more, it'll be a little while longer before I can claim #6 on ravana ^_^
Very cool. I neglected all the landhand quests after 60 and been anguishing at all the new side quests now appearing on the ShB maps
Ah, yes, friday is finally complete with video drop
I'm always so excited when you upload! your videos always make me so happy despite the fact you do content I've rarely touched in 14 I still find it really entertaining to just hear your voice sometimes even!
Congrats on defeating the fire man! I would 100% be cheesing these fights xD I get too much anxiety to actually do them normal. Every week I watch your video and tell myself to go do leve quests, every week I forget lol. Will this be the week? Unlikely. Unlikely. 💀
Hi ! For farming the component for ShB relics I recommend u to do cluster farm. Basically what u do is with a group u get to several points in bozja and kill as much mobs as possible. With that method I got like 300 fragments of each in like 15h of farm. Idk it's better than HW fates but it's more profitable since the main goal of this is to get bozjan clusters to buy the hairstyle or the mount and to sell it for high prices. People basically did it for gils.
Anyway GL for the next duels ! And if u really feel like ur wasting too much time try to go with a caster for a more cheesy way. There's no shame about doing it.
Wow, someone making entertaining FF14 content and its not drama farming or doom saying? 1LIKE=1LONG
Oh my god Max Piggy!!!!! I did bozja on aether and he's a fucking hero, they need to make Max Piggy a title just for himself at this point. So glad you got a cameo from the man the myth the legend himself.
Man, I'm pretty jealous of those Duel achievements. I thought about doing them back in the day when the content was current, but it never happened. I wanted to start off with the Dabog Duel, but that was before they implemented the Notoriety System, so I never got chosen. After a while, I just gave up on it. But you know... Seeing you do these is kinda making me want to go back and try again... 🤔
glad you got the man on fire down. That was the one that mental blocked me the hardest back then. One more to go for that sword of the south, brother. I am now only 1 trading card away from a full collection and it's in the newest msq dungeon. Still no card after 20 runs but it does give a lot of tomestones so at least I am getting relic weapons out of the grind.
I just want to say that I am a new content creator and I watch this every week and it motivates me!
These are fun for me to watch because this is the kind of grind I would NEVER do myself. Get to see some content I'd otherwise never know anything about. Any thoughts about starting the ultimate grind? Probably not the most efficient points/time ratio but hey, 10 points is 10 points!
Congrats on defeating Poochie ("I must go now, my people need me")
When baby was asking for the strongest drink, I didn't think she was actually getting a strong drink
I made it into the video my life is complete, my passive goal of sneaking my way into many different people's TH-cam videos as a nobody is commencing well
My first time in Bozja, I was so confused by everything. By sheer dumb luck I qualified for a duel on my first CE and was so bummed I didn’t get chosen. I looked up what it meant and was SO GLAD I didn’t get picked. I’m going to live the rest of my life with 1 notoriety
Bozja phoenix downs are the way to go for revive achievement, they allow you to quickly chain revive players and you can easily farm them from some elemental with reflect.
any plans to push into palace of the dead for necromancer cider?
I live for these TREMBLE sounds :D
you sound like Gladio from FFXV stopped doing dumb bodyguard work and started playing XIV to completion. Awesome channel, love the uploads
There are far more efficent farming methods for the memories than HW fates, but you need a lot of likeminded players to do it.
You split into 4 groups of two players across 4 sets of packs - 1 in each zone and a bonus one. Farming clusters from garlean mobs will grant memories as well - and the raw amount of kills over an hour or two can get you most of the memories you'd ever need.
"It sure hits different when you ain't sober..." 😆😆 Yeah I can completely agree with that.
You have 20 minutes during the duels so if you accidentally press something with a cooldown you can just wait it out once the duel starts.
Sincerely, a gal re-reading mene zadnor guides to make sure she can get her last field record
Based God of Thunder voicelines. Always happy to hear him.
A PITEOUS DISPLAY
I would say this journey will take you at least 5 years.
Good luck.
I saw the Sart-On-Fire clear in person it was splendid and made it very clear to me that I getting dude's field notes from the skirmish or not at all lol
recently broke 11k since this series began. me and my 15fps laptop are coming for ya >:D (for real though im working on a new rig ; ;)
Man you are the absolute best , you make me laugh so hard 😆
I just realized he's running around on the butterfinger mount lol
it's like Misshapenchair but Cider actually likes making content
Just wanted to comment so I can look back when this reaches it conclusion. 😅 it’s gonna be a great day when it arrives
TREMBLE
Great video Cider!
Can't believe youndidnt change title for the rez achievement it's one of my favorites
a word of advice for anyone trying to grind the guardian angel title:
run delubrum normal as red mage and snipe every res you can. dualcast is ur best friend, since when you get a res prompt, it takes the most recent res applied to u. with good timing, u can snipe resses from other people if you wanna be a butt, or just make a PF with "beginners welcome" and then farm resses from newbies not knowing how to do the temperature change mechanic. its dirty work but it gets the job done. this is how i got a good 300 of my resses for no need for triage
Did not get a lot done besides tomes for Relics. I was doing Deep Dungeons for the Kinna/Light weapons or whatever they're called from PoTD, and was asked "why are you walking like a freak" and found THREE Hoard Chests in like half an hour without Intuition for that Of The Sixth Sense title. The 20000 Accursed Hoard achivo is just... insane though. I love Deep Dungeons but on average I feel like you get 3 or so on a GOOD run.
Fishing for the new EW Legendary fish has been a pain though, 0/6 still and was hoping to get at least one by now. Though during downtimes and waiting for queues I am fishing at specific level fishing holes for the "Catch X amount of fish at a level XX-XX fishing spot" which.... is like 2000 fish per MAIN area, Noscea, Thanalan, and the Shroud for about 6000 fish.
**TREMBLLLLLEE!!!**
You can reset the cooldown on lost actions by resloting it. IN the manawall case you could of overwritten it with another manawall to have it for the duel.

"I may be dead but at least my name is not Cacus"
I love listening to your videos while im leveling botanist and culinarian lol
I've discovered the absolutely cutthroat world of ARR levequest turn in items while clearing smaller achievement goals.
Few things in this game are as overpriced as random level 47 boots you can essentially craft for free with materials selling for under 100 gil apiece.
I think the worst part trying to check off unique leves is that the menu won't show all of them in ARR areas so you have to cycle through, though. Truly evil design choices baked into leves and I /like/ leves. I wish we had combat leves back!
