I'm apparently a weirdo because I fuckin' *love* when I get The Vault in my roulette, especially if I'm healing it. Love, you hear me! The Antitower is the best one to get with sprouts, though, the last boss never fails to get a 'wtf' out of them.
I love running the Antitower with new players. The last boss always freaks them out!
I run that one quite late at night for 1st time... Should I say that i didnt sleep well that night???
The Vault is still one of the best Dungeons in the game next to Sohr Kai in my opinion. I still run around quoting lines from the bosses to this day. I'd definitely put it higher up on my list. I will agree that the music could have been better but honestly, for me it sets the mood for the dungeon itself.
"SICKNESS MUST BE PURGED!!"
"FILTHY RATS!!"
"THIS WILL BE A MERCY!! "
"AND NOW, THE FINAL CURTAIN!!"
"YOU DISGUST ME!!"
"I WILL NOT YIELD TO YOU!!"
As far as the list goes, for me it would be:
1. Sohr Khai
2. The Vault
3. The Aetherochemical Research Facility
4.The Antitower
5.The Aery
6. Saint Mocianne's Arboretum
7. Hullbreaker Isle (Hard)
8. Baelsar's Wall
9. Neverreap
10. Gubal Library (Hard)
The vault is definitely my favorite, I’m glad u like it too
Honestly, it's really cool to see different perspectives on dungeons! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. HW was such a fun expansion!
I still remember the first time I went to Atherialchemical Research Facility, it was so amazingly and beautiful, and ended up feeling like the true finale to HW, and the Anti-tower...mmmm when this game does High magic, its just *chefs kiss* Muwah~!
Lukile on the zip line in Xelphatol-is exactly how I hold the safety bars on buses and trains when traveling. 🤧😵
By far my favourite part of The Vault is the music. It's incredible!
The Vault would be way higher on my list just for the music! I sometimes go there unsynced just to listen to the music.
My first time experience with "The Vault":
I healed for the first time.... and my stupid ass apparently forgot to put on my true gear on.
So we were dying to everything over and over. So when my friend pointed out that I had no gear on...
Welp... LMAO but I got practice out of it, and it's not so bad now.
I'm gonna have to gripe about The Aery being left off the list. Niddhogg being a true DPS check/race, which is something they didn't repeat again makes it challenging to go thru.

I always look forward to The Aery whenever I’m leveling a new job. One of my favorite dungeons overall.
Excellent choice on number 1. Looking forward to see what you say about the hard version in stormblood top/bottom lists :)
I got giddy when you revealed Sainy Mocianne's Arboretum as number 1. Still to this day it's a dungeon that I'm excited to get in roulette.
This was a fairly solid list. I think I would personally put Sohr Kai and The Great Google Library (Hard) towards the top, The Aery somewhere in the middle or slightly lower, and Baelsar's Wall lower on the list (that platform almost ruins the entire dungeon for me, yet thankfully the last boss saves it somewhat). Otherwise, I do not have a list of favourites. Needless to say, if I get the first two I mentioned, I am always happy.
I missed Nevereap. And I wish Pharos Sirius Hard was a better dungeon to run through, its 30 seconds intro always makes my day better.
for what it's worth, Antitower was my favorite dungeon in the whole game up until 5.0
weird goes a long way with me
I was so sad when the dev team we wouldn't get anymore Hard modes cause I've been wishing for a second go at that tower!
Fun probably well known fact, the mammets in Gubal Library Hard and Antitower are based on the jobs of Final Fantasy 3
This list is a whole lot better than the ARR one where you put the damn eight man dungeons on top.
The Vault is one I dread due to a particular run that went very badly. I was healing- but as a SCH (and I'm a WHM main, I'm not great at SCH, here I was levelling it). One of the DPS had never been in the dungeon before, but only mentioned this at the end. Finally, the Tank... just did nothing right.
So at the end, we get the clear after some fairly brute force healing (I just decided to be ok with the idea that I would not have any time to do any damage, so just brute forced them through their mechanics fails), I unclench, thank the party for the run and then the tank says "Thankyou, this was my first time tanking anything."
I replied "There are better places to start than here!"
Vault is my favorite dungeon in the game. I wish it was higher but I can see your opinion.
weird list, but ok, I still think Sohr khai is the best one, btw is there top 10 for ARR?
Great list! I agreed with all of it except for Xelphatol since I didn’t love that one. I would also personally switch Sohr Kai and the Aboretum. Maela’s scores were making me laugh though. So low in comparison, haha!
Thanks! Great video. Will you guys be doing one for shadowbringers and endwalker too?
I'd flip number 1 and 2.
Very interesting top 10!
I myself have Baelsar's Wall on #1, mostly because I have fond memories of it, and the music gets me pumped...
Plus... totally not plus points for The Griffin being the end boss, as he has been my favourite character ^^'
Although I highly agree on the pacing, that moving platform is the only thing that really puts me out of the dungeon's immersion.
Wow...I totally forgot Xelphatol existed. Same with Gubal Library Hard. I've just...never had these dungeons come up again. I get the Vault pretty often, though.
I personally don't have Antitower that high up in my list. While the dungeon itself is okay, I started playing in the patch that the tower was introduced so I hit a very severe ilvl wall when I wanted to run it. It took me a lot of grinding and what little gil I had in order to get my gear high enough for it as the MSQ did not naturally help that progression. This experience has left Antitower a bad taste in my mouth so my joy for it is very low.
Heavensward has the best dungeons so far, imo. I would have these as some of the top rated. Neverreap, with its SoC theme variant and that Sanuwa final boss that would knock back everyone off the platform, a beautiful dungeon especially at sunsets/sunrises. Dusk Vigil, while appearing bleak, is a fun place with a CWH variant theme, eerie story pages, a griffin first appearance [that I remember] and the first time you hear HW boss theme Ominous Prognisticks. Sohm Al at sunset with the dragon floating in the background at Betryal beautiful and the panic Tioman caused with those comet aoe and while Sohm Al HM is to me a hideous place it does have 1.0 Thanalan battle theme.
Not entirely in the same census with the list. Some of it might come from the fact that I didn't watch the English audio so some meme's were completely lost to me with roulette groups. (Really, I think I've met a whole different characters with the audio differences.) Personal favorites of mine are still The Fractal Continuum and The Aetherochemical Research Facility, with Xelphatol, Baelsar's Wall and Sohr Khai following up. Mostly for the music, visuals and/or how easy it is to get through. I did however enjoy Gubal Libraries and Antitower, but they're more of a fun surprise if they pop-up.
And probably heretically so - I despise getting Vault from a roulette. It's in my bottom 3 of all dungeons in the game. Idk why really.
Edit: To add to this something I just recalled because of Eureka - Arboretum end boss model, Belladonna, among my few friends is called "Bulbasaur",because I at one time couldn't think of what the boss name was other than it began with a B... and it has a bulbous flower thing... and yeah.
I love this content, keep up the top notch work
I gotta look for some of these dungeons.
I mostly agree with Maela's scores
Number 10 the vault
Me: instant PTSD
I swear by the Twelve, if Saint Mocianne's Arboretum isn't on here..........
....... phew........ ok, ok.... now I'm fine :)
Maela sure is fussy, not one score above 7 lol I mean how many 6 scores did they give
I HATED the vault... although I think it's because of all my experiences have had so many wipes on the last boss which made me hate it
Disappointed with no Sohm Al Hard for Quicksand being the dungeon theme. That can be treated as a 1.0 relic can't it? lol
Now flip it which order are the 8 worst and why :3
I was on board with this list up until number 1. That’s gonna be a hard disagree from me on that one.
As cool as ARF is, I farmed it so much during HW for the relic that I simply hate it now...
Ah the Vault and ARF, or, "Why did I even bother queuing..."
I think my farming bias might be showing, but ARF being on the list at all makes me very sad.
ARF LFG for lore
rollos scoring system lol
Wow Maela doesn't seem to like anything. Without him this list would be very different. Does he even like this game?
he does but a lot of people dont like the dungeons he doesnt like either. I hate the number 1 dungeon too
*cough* SLOPPPEEHHHHH
Hmmm. An interesting list, but to each their own, I guess!
I would not put The Antitower up there, personally. It wasn't even that great of a dungeon. Neither was Saint Mocianne's 🤷
They weren't bad, just not memorable at all.
Never a fan of the last boss of the Vault, whoever thought it a good idea to have a white arena floor at sunset (therefore tinting it orange) when we have orange-coloured AOE markers needs a slap.
Bro why is ARF till you BARF on the list
gonna be awkward to make this list for shadowbringers
ZZZZZzzz no Aery
Yeeeeah, not agreein' with this list.
Huh, I always found your number one, kinda bland and the mobs blurr together. It actually feels rather middle of the road, with so so bosses and to much plants. For me Anti Tower is the best of HW and I was actually heart broken when the team said no more Hard mode duties cause I've been begging for a Hard mode of the Tower since the first time we got a HW hard mode in Stormblood. While I disagree a few duties on the list, I would replace Hullbreaker over the Lost City for example I can't fault any of your reasons, well maybe like I said your number one, I will say you guys have guts to put your number 10 where you did. As for why I wouldn't place Lost City but would place Hullbreaker, well its all for two reasons, I'm a big fan of the MaelStorms and found all boss fights a hoot and Lost city has TOO MANY GROSS GROSS BUGS!
Excuse me? "Heavendswar"?
