This fight is annoyingly hard compared to any other ARR extreme fight. One thing that the video didn't made clear is that from time to time the boss will call a "pombination" attack that made the adds move or say something specificand do a super attack. You can see some on the videos but most of the time you have to react super quickly by eyeballing what moogles are talking or moving because its always random and some can one shot the party quite easily (friggin delta attack was so fucking annoying back in the day). There are also 2 adds that are quite a pain, one that randomly heals the others and the one that makes that giant aoe (which asmon said that is cancelable) needs to be focused to cancel the cast by reducing its hp by 10% each time.
Fun fact: This fight was actually released to post-pone Leviathan's fight, due to a tsunami that happened in Japan. I don't recall the specifics, but the dev team didn't want to release Leviathan just yet due to that. They also wanted a moment of light-heartedness to raise spirits, and so the Great King Moggle fight was born :D
It wasn’t just a tsunami. It was THE Tsunami that wiped out most coastal cities in Northwestern Japan and caused the nuclear meltdown on Fukushima that turned it into the mini-Chernobyl it is today.

the best part of the fight is people see moogles and go aww cute before they wipe. though if you listen to the lyrics, they talk about beheading people and shanking them in the gut. thats some slightly dark imagery in a fight with such a light theme of cute furry creatures.
@@kelnhide No doubt the song sounds very similar but in actuality it's a remix of Final Fantasy 5's Moogle theme, which released a year before Nightmare Before Christmas did.
Asmongold is an amazing raid leader to be honest everyone calls him an asshole but what I saw was just someone being positive to everyone even during mistakes for 18 minutes.
I just don’t like when he brags on himself when he has a full team that has already done certain content, and he tries to lead them even thou they already know what to do 🤣 I hope this one humbled him a little bit other than that I love the dude
To everyone in the comments saying "this sounds like Nightmare Before Christmas!" Soken (composer) said he was inspired by the song "This is Halloween" when he wrote this. It's intentional.
I wouldn't call him strict. He's giving a lot of call outs that wouldn't be necessary for a raid leader, but he's primarily a streamer and for entertainment it makes sense (and people know it's for the stream when they join his party.) That's different from being strict, which in my opinion would be to demand obedience to specific commands.
For those sharp eared people out there you might have noticed this theme names all the moogles and each verse references the abilities and jobs of each of them. "Kupta Kapa will clip your tuft, Split your hairs and ruffle your fluff" Kupta Kapa is a WAR and splitting hairs and ruffling your fluff is a reference to getting angry like the berserk skills of the WAR "Kupti Koop will throw you for a loop, Brave a wall of whiskers to find his troupe" Kupti Koop is a PLD. the walls refer to the buffs and mitigation of most tanks. "Kupli Kipp is sly yet sweet, He'll tickle your nose then tickle your feet" Kupli Kipp is a WHM. healers are (usually) depicted as kind/sweet and make you feel better. which to moogles is making you laugh by tickling "Jolly Kogi's eye for fun is clear, He'll put an arrow straight in your rear!" Kogi is obviously a RNG he fires a bow and arrow at you. "Pukla Puki plays with fire, Poms a-burning on her pyre" Pukla Puki is the BLM of the group. he casts a moogle version of flare at the players that will wipe the party if uninterrupted. "Puksi Piko likes her buddies big, To sing a little song and dance a little jig" Puksi Piko is a BRD. and much like BRD players is a support class buffing the other moogles "Pukna Pako shivers and shakes, She'll stick you in the gut and give you bellyaches" Pukna Pako is a ROG. jumping around with daggers and if buffed enough will one-shot players.
This is actually pretty impressive. I couldn’t even imagine going in blind trying to figure out the mechanics and organize everyone else at the same time. I’d be too focused on what role I’m supposed to be play.
I know this is a very old comment but properly assessing the field from a tank role becomes a mandatory skill. You have to pay attention to every thing going on to have successful callouts and commands and you have to have a competent team that trusts you and is capable of dealing with tense curveballs. People that have never tanked sometimes underrate the importance of good tanking because it is much more than just being a meatshield and sustaining aggro.
I am fucking DELIGHTED that you went in with a blind sprout group holy shit. I did this as a newbie to MMOs as a whole using Duty Finder so the nostalgia is strong lmao.
@@dawnwarrior3087 He had Dom and Sea Lion, but a solid chunk were duty incomplete and had minimum item level plus level sync on.

Even if other players were current in MSQ, if they didn't have the fight completed then for all intents and purposes they're sprouts in the fight lol. Regardless like.

It is outstanding how Asmon has this instinct to decide what to try and what to prove in a mechanic and how fast he learns fights. Probably from all those years in WoW.
The Moogles are by far the cutest creatures in this game. The extreme fight is actually quite a bitch. Every Moogle has to die in a certain order, or get ready to be Moogle Meteor'd.
Props to him for bringing in players new to the content, it really makes it more authentic to what it was like when the fights first came out and few people if anyone knew what to do
I agree so hard. I did that back in ARR and it delights me seeing him struggling with this content like we did back 7 years ago. And big dick props for him doing that!
I know what you mean he was my first extreme as well and it took me a long time to attempt another after the fact....all you are left is are flashbacks for the tiniest thing going wrong then wipe. XD
Well my first Extreme (if we are not counting Ifrit, Garuda and Titan because they are mandatory) was Nidhogg and the second was Hades, it was a tough time to be honest
@Matthew May Right. I guarantee he wont either. All of these are easy because even synched people do more than normal synched damage and they bypass mechanics. Once he gets to up to date content he will have a harder time because it takes time to do them correctly because they are less forgiving.
@Matthew May I hope he doesn't, he should take his time and enjoy the ride, especially because of his streamer background, he has the luxury to play the old content whenever he wants. I wish I could do that without putting large amounts of effort in it (did it for ARR, but not for the other expansions)
I started playing because of Asmon. It's so much fun dude, there's so much content with a wide variety of stuff to do. Something for everyone. The community is awesome, everyone is so nice and happy and everywhere you go in the game you see people just hanging out and doing stuff together. It makes the world feel so full of life.
Dude i am sprout(means a newbie), having so much fun. Even in raids and dungeons when i struggle, almost nobody complains. They know that you probably dont know anything and just help you. Its even better when everybody is new and try to learn together. Shit is great try it.
I was impressed by how fast he learned the boss mechanics and took down the boss. Really good stuff. That said its a youtube comment so I have to be toxic so uhhh he was carried because he equipped a weapon? Am I doing this right?
@@ngwoo It doesn't count as a win until you map the buttons to a DDR dance pad and guitar hero controller then beat the fight. Asmongold = filthy casual
For new players, this is how this works. Lower all moogles HP to about 5-15% and then kill as many as you can before the King finishes his transfer cast. Transfer of HP begins casting as soon as any 1 moogle dies. Do this 3 times, but on the 3rd time the King will instead cast Momento upon any moogle's death, so this time you must kill all moogles and then kill King before cast ends.
Yep, that's one of the part they got wrong : it's not on the 3rd moogle that dies that boss cast his enrage, but on the 3rd "kill phase". You can, and should kill as many moogles as possible on the 1st and 2nd kill phase : it'lll end up getting King Moogle lower than 10%, making the final burst on him really easy.
Honestly this was really impressive of him to understand the mechanics and figure out ways to it instantly. I can really say he isn't being carried and constantly improving at the game
@@ionmeth2031 He actually managed to get pretty close to it, realizing that you needed to kill all the moogles at the same time, before chat spoiled the fight.
@@kedolan4992 na,watch the vod, right before he said it, he was looking the chat big time and the chat was spamming what do.. And right after with really no hint what so ever that they need to be killed at the same time he say that he thinks that they maybe need to die at the same time.. na fam.. i love watching asmond and the stream but he cant fool me on that one. 😄
@@unfinest Ah, you might be right then, I don't really have the time to watch any streamers, with working a 10h workday (plus another 20m drive to/from work to top it off!). It's a shame he can't try them blind, but then again, guides are out there and I'd probably do the same if I was trying a new (old) trial, so I can't really judge :P
@@kedolan4992 I mean, he still have to execute it good! And he is doing that really good. But i did this with same party settings and 7 of my irl wow refugees that could not look up the stats or ask me anythingI I have nerver laughed so much! My stomech was hurting so much! I wish i had it recorded. 😂😂🤣🤣 And that is exactly what i want Asmond to do. However, I/We have to understand that he have 90-100k viewers to also entertain and engage with. So regardless if he dont want tips its hard for him to not see if any kind of tips might pop up in chat. Streams are lit AF, but sometimes asmond and the clips can be a bit devious.
Eh too many people having there first time in will just slow down content way too much. I think the mix of people who know what they are doing and people still learning is good enough. Provides balance of entertainment without being frustrating. Plus Dom and Sea Lion die more than a couple times in these fights themselves. So it’s not like they are invincible
It was him that says he wants the full experience on hardest difficulty. No one is forcing him to. Which is why having people to carries goes against what he says. FF is pretty much a casual game other than ultimate. No one imposed these challenge except himself
@@ionmeth2031 The DPS mechanics are the DPS's job. The tank can't cover for that, like the mechanics are specifically designed to target the other DPS. ARR does a poor job at actually giving any significant challenge to tanks besides the occassional tank swap. The only difference between having Sprouts and having a raid pug, is we would be wasting time with sprouts trying to learn how to play their role in the fight.There is no difficulty actually added by having an all sprout team. It doesn't help him learn anything. And it certainly doesn't help the sprouts to spend their time bashing their head in the wall.
It's a shame they never gave Moggle Mog Ex a pony mount to drop like every other ARR Ex primal, means nowadays most people have no reason to check this fight out except for completionist sake. Which is a shame, because, as Asmond's video here shows, it's arguably one of, if not the hardest and trickiest Extreme Trial in A Realm Reborn, due to the above usual level of party coordination required to handle the resurrection mechanic correctly, further complicated by the sheer chaos on the battlefield with 8 mobs and 8 party members all slinging abilities and aoes left and right.
It's so amazing he did this since very few players ever bother doing King Moogle Ex since it doesn't drop a mount. Love that Asmon is soaking up the content.
Its very interesting that if you look up the lyrics of this song, it talks and tells you what the adds do thought the fight in a way. Now blizzes ex music guy is talking about how he wishes he could get his time back from bliz, sad lol
I find it funny that King Mog is the ARR trial that I wipe the most on with randoms even in normal. I think people think of it as a joke trial and that's why wipes are so common.
I don't think it's that people underestimate it.. it's just when you have 8 adds it's hard for people to focus fire without someone putting markers or explaining the mechanics. When I did this for my MSQ we wiped once and as soon as I piped in with the first 4 adds to kill in what order (I watch guides before going in >__> couldn't remember the suggested order after the first 4) we succeeded. Just need a bit of direction.
You know, I dont play ffxiv so i dont know about the time it would take to get through the story, but i see everyone saying that Asmon cant beat some of the later raids which makes no sense to me since the Asmon is actually a really smart person and has been playing mmos for like almost 20 years.
Nah, that's bullshit, he is memeing around right now, for harder content he can watch youtube videos and learn all the mechanics before hands. I started the game a few days after Asmon and I've beaten all ARR extremes and raids with random sprouts. and the hardest took 6 tries to beat. future contents are probably harder, but I'll be more experienced and play with players with more experience.
@@foe9634 all the balance changes and class reworks have made older content generally easier. tanks have permanent 20% mitigation, everyone dealing way more damage than intended especially in ARR (direct hit used to be accuracy, some moves literally having upwards to 40% higher potency than the ARR version), melees don't have TP (MP but worse), it just isn't made with current balance in mind. most savage raids in HW onwards is massive step up from coils even with that in mind, though.
I love that Asmongold is enjoying the game so much! Dude is not even in heavesward yet!! Shadowbringers is going to blow his mind! So cool that FF14 has set it up so that doing old content like this is still worthwhile and very much enjoyable!
I've never heard this song before and now my love of FF14 just went up about 100% It's not generic love of Nightmare before christmas but i've always had a bit of a deeper connection to that movie, back in 1994 I got to hang out with a 3rd cousin for the first time and not only found out he was an animator on Nightmare among others but I got to see his actual script from the set he brought with him.
Nice job, dude. This fight, for looking like a joke, has got to be one of the toughest level 50 extremes if it's min iLVL. Not sure I'd be brave enough to ever try it again, so good on ya!
OH my lord. Good memories, this was my second favorite ex. Followed by Shiva, just cause that freeze moment and that 🔥 music after. Love the moogles though.
I do enjoy watching Asmons journey but every time he pulls without a ready check a Miqo'te dies ;-; Can someone please let him know many classes benefit greatly from a countdown for their own personal CD's and DPS x'D
The only ARR trial I haven't finished simply because every one of my duty finder runs had people drop out, including me getting disconnected from one. Every single time, there was someone who knew what to do. Yet every single time, someone disappears. King Moogle Mog always win in the end.
They had a ff event in mhw you could fight a Behemoth and get dracgoon armor, plus transmoged if you did the hardest version. Had boss wipe moves and 3 lives. Got a little mogul costume for your palico too.
I would say King Moggle is definitely one of the tougher extremes in A Realm Reborn. Especially with a mostly sprout group going in blind to the fight. Nice job man. Always loved this song/fight. Those were some murderous Moogles lol.
best boss in the game. I'm happy that I did this when it was current content with my friends, we had a blast with him. Took us a fair amount of tries but once we had it down we pretty muchy one-shotted him every time we tried.
I like watching Asmon because it helps to see how a first-timer sees/thinks through a fight without any guide. I feel this will help me once EW comes out and want to try figuring out fights as a pioneer.

3:47 "kill these little hell bats" 😂
its actually '' low health adds"
The Moogles are by far the cutest creatures in this game. The extreme fight is actually quite a bitch. Every Moogle has to die in a certain order, or get ready to be Moogle Meteor'd.
Once you get to heavensward you learn that behind their cuteness is pure unadulterated evil
@@thegallantrayku2677 its only the moogles in the sky ;)
@@thegallantrayku2677 The Moogle beast tribe quests were it, man😂
Props to him for bringing in players new to the content, it really makes it more authentic to what it was like when the fights first came out and few people if anyone knew what to do
I agree so hard. I did that back in ARR and it delights me seeing him struggling with this content like we did back 7 years ago. And big dick props for him doing that!
@@shivalah Big dicks all around!
Good King Moggle was my first extreme trial I attempted, it was evil lmao. Song’s a banger though!
People were incapable of not killing them when It was current now our actual sprouts are actually decent players ^^
I know what you mean he was my first extreme as well and it took me a long time to attempt another after the fact....all you are left is are flashbacks for the tiniest thing going wrong then wipe. XD
Well my first Extreme (if we are not counting Ifrit, Garuda and Titan because they are mandatory) was Nidhogg and the second was Hades, it was a tough time to be honest
Telling people to not DoT the adds so they didn’t die was a must for the majority of pugs that I ran.
@@vayalond7203 no extreme fight is mandatory
This a cute AF raid
Listen to the song and what the Moogles are saying, you might not see it as so cute anymore XD
Zepla sweatin, thinking about her new lala life.
It's only for week, not even a year.
He's most likely focus on Clearing Ultimate Bahamut...which technically is not part of the bet. So she's not lose the bet 😅
Lala duo, rich and zepla, gposing for hours on end.
@Matthew May Right. I guarantee he wont either. All of these are easy because even synched people do more than normal synched damage and they bypass mechanics. Once he gets to up to date content he will have a harder time because it takes time to do them correctly because they are less forgiving.
@Matthew May I hope he doesn't, he should take his time and enjoy the ride, especially because of his streamer background, he has the luxury to play the old content whenever he wants. I wish I could do that without putting large amounts of effort in it (did it for ARR, but not for the other expansions)
He looks much happier than he did when playing WoW/
Maybe I will try this game
It's a good game :)
I started playing because of Asmon. It's so much fun dude, there's so much content with a wide variety of stuff to do. Something for everyone. The community is awesome, everyone is so nice and happy and everywhere you go in the game you see people just hanging out and doing stuff together. It makes the world feel so full of life.
Do iiiiiiiiiiiiit. =D
Dude i am sprout(means a newbie), having so much fun. Even in raids and dungeons when i struggle, almost nobody complains. They know that you probably dont know anything and just help you. Its even better when everybody is new and try to learn together. Shit is great try it.
Wow player too here. 2 weeks in ff14 enjoying the main story and the abilities are fun to use too. I'm a black mage, btw.
I was impressed by how fast he learned the boss mechanics and took down the boss. Really good stuff.
That said its a youtube comment so I have to be toxic so uhhh he was carried because he equipped a weapon? Am I doing this right?
you did it perfectly...
uh i mean your stupid
I wasn’t really feelin any toxicity… try something like “ur smelly!” It’s way more toxic 👍
@@aa-tx7th *you're
Sorry, had to follow the trend.
Typical asmongold, being carried by his ability to learn and adapt to mechancs over time lmao
@@ngwoo It doesn't count as a win until you map the buttons to a DDR dance pad and guitar hero controller then beat the fight. Asmongold = filthy casual

This is a song of nightmares. Especially if you HATE CLOWNS..
Look up the lyrics for it what they actually sing xD
Its not a fun song xD
The duality of man, I hate clowns but I'm a clown myself.
'Memento Moogle--Memento Mori' galaxy brain
For new players, this is how this works.
Lower all moogles HP to about 5-15% and then kill as many as you can before the King finishes his transfer cast. Transfer of HP begins casting as soon as any 1 moogle dies.
Do this 3 times, but on the 3rd time the King will instead cast Momento upon any moogle's death, so this time you must kill all moogles and then kill King before cast ends.
Yep, that's one of the part they got wrong : it's not on the 3rd moogle that dies that boss cast his enrage, but on the 3rd "kill phase". You can, and should kill as many moogles as possible on the 1st and 2nd kill phase : it'lll end up getting King Moogle lower than 10%, making the final burst on him really easy.
Honestly this was really impressive of him to understand the mechanics and figure out ways to it instantly. I can really say he isn't being carried and constantly improving at the game
I admit he is super good but nah man, he have chat and dominic tell him the strat. He didt figure everything out himself
@@ionmeth2031 He actually managed to get pretty close to it, realizing that you needed to kill all the moogles at the same time, before chat spoiled the fight.
@@kedolan4992 na,watch the vod, right before he said it, he was looking the chat big time and the chat was spamming what do.. And right after with really no hint what so ever that they need to be killed at the same time he say that he thinks that they maybe need to die at the same time..
na fam.. i love watching asmond and the stream but he cant fool me on that one. 😄
@@unfinest Ah, you might be right then, I don't really have the time to watch any streamers, with working a 10h workday (plus another 20m drive to/from work to top it off!). It's a shame he can't try them blind, but then again, guides are out there and I'd probably do the same if I was trying a new (old) trial, so I can't really judge :P
@@kedolan4992 I mean, he still have to execute it good! And he is doing that really good.
But i did this with same party settings and 7 of my irl wow refugees that could not look up the stats or ask me anythingI I have nerver laughed so much! My stomech was hurting so much! I wish i had it recorded. 😂😂🤣🤣 And that is exactly what i want Asmond to do.
However, I/We have to understand that he have 90-100k viewers to also entertain and engage with. So regardless if he dont want tips its hard for him to not see if any kind of tips might pop up in chat.
Streams are lit AF, but sometimes asmond and the clips can be a bit devious.
As much as I love Dom and Sea Lion, I'd love to see him do more trials/raids ect with everyone being their first time in.
Eh too many people having there first time in will just slow down content way too much. I think the mix of people who know what they are doing and people still learning is good enough. Provides balance of entertainment without being frustrating.
Plus Dom and Sea Lion die more than a couple times in these fights themselves. So it’s not like they are invincible
@@HookahOtaku there would be no point of getting full house of ppl who know every fight like really -__-'' it ruins the fun
It was him that says he wants the full experience on hardest difficulty.
No one is forcing him to.
Which is why having people to carries goes against what he says.
FF is pretty much a casual game other than ultimate. No one imposed these challenge except himself
@@HookahOtaku Let him play how he wants. Who the fu$k are you to tell him how to play? Enjoy the show and shut the fu*$ up. OMG this people 😑
@@ionmeth2031 The DPS mechanics are the DPS's job. The tank can't cover for that, like the mechanics are specifically designed to target the other DPS.
ARR does a poor job at actually giving any significant challenge to tanks besides the occassional tank swap. The only difference between having Sprouts and having a raid pug, is we would be wasting time with sprouts trying to learn how to play their role in the fight.There is no difficulty actually added by having an all sprout team. It doesn't help him learn anything. And it certainly doesn't help the sprouts to spend their time bashing their head in the wall.
The song for this fight lists the kill order for the adds, I love that it's pretty much the only hint.
It's a shame they never gave Moggle Mog Ex a pony mount to drop like every other ARR Ex primal, means nowadays most people have no reason to check this fight out except for completionist sake. Which is a shame, because, as Asmond's video here shows, it's arguably one of, if not the hardest and trickiest Extreme Trial in A Realm Reborn, due to the above usual level of party coordination required to handle the resurrection mechanic correctly, further complicated by the sheer chaos on the battlefield with 8 mobs and 8 party members all slinging abilities and aoes left and right.
Closest thing we got is the two seater fat moogle which plays the song but that's a Mog Station item x:
I hope they would add some sort of mount drop for them as well, since weapon and glowing mat is a lot more niche to farm for.
4:27 This is Halloween but with Tactical Nukes... 😅😅😰😰☠️☠️
Imagine having 'Good King Moggle-mog' as the soundtrack to your madness.
LMFAO I knew the first pull would be a blood bath.
As a long time FFXIV player, these sprouts run EX fight videos make for amazing content.
One thing I always loved about this fight is that the song tells you the kill order for adds.
8 years old contents and still fun and challenging. This is something Fffxiv does it much better than wow.
Build a bear workshop...funny when you consider Moogles can create god killer weapons
Who would have thought a build-a-bear boss would give people so much trouble lol
Anyone whose played the game, haha. Mog is one of the noob stomping extreme fight
i got the 2 person moogle mount that plays this music, i have flashbacks when it randomly puts me on it
The boys Dominic Torreto and Sea Lion back at it again
It's so amazing he did this since very few players ever bother doing King Moogle Ex since it doesn't drop a mount.
Love that Asmon is soaking up the content.
Its very interesting that if you look up the lyrics of this song, it talks and tells you what the adds do thought the fight in a way. Now blizzes ex music guy is talking about how he wishes he could get his time back from bliz, sad lol
the music got some big Nightmare before Christmas vibes
I find it funny that King Mog is the ARR trial that I wipe the most on with randoms even in normal. I think people think of it as a joke trial and that's why wipes are so common.
I don't think it's that people underestimate it.. it's just when you have 8 adds it's hard for people to focus fire without someone putting markers or explaining the mechanics. When I did this for my MSQ we wiped once and as soon as I piped in with the first 4 adds to kill in what order (I watch guides before going in >__> couldn't remember the suggested order after the first 4) we succeeded. Just need a bit of direction.
I still wipe on the hard version occasionally when it comes up in roulettes.
I just forget who has to die first lol
Dude that looked like so much fun.
Literally a remix of the song "This is Halloween" from Nightmare before Christmas.
I get so giddy and happy seeing all the Jammies with the song it's so perfect

Moogles are scary, my dad got divorced by a moogle, mog meteor one shot him and his marriage.
I jump into this Extreme because I think this cute thing would easier than others Extreme and I regretted.
Really hoping he does the Hildebrande quest line. Was a highlight for me back then.
Holy shit i never realized the lyrics fade out and go quiet as you kill the moogles.
"NEW FFXIV Players" Sure Kapp
That last part is punishment for using Master Looter Asmon.🤣🤣
Ah such sweet bliss hearing asmonbald rage to this symphony xD
Hahah Love the Lyrics timing to the Wipe... "What do you decree? Off with their heads..." Wipe...
You know, I dont play ffxiv so i dont know about the time it would take to get through the story, but i see everyone saying that Asmon cant beat some of the later raids which makes no sense to me since the Asmon is actually a really smart person and has been playing mmos for like almost 20 years.
Nah, that's bullshit, he is memeing around right now, for harder content he can watch youtube videos and learn all the mechanics before hands. I started the game a few days after Asmon and I've beaten all ARR extremes and raids with random sprouts. and the hardest took 6 tries to beat. future contents are probably harder, but I'll be more experienced and play with players with more experience.
Everyone knows that. But people just want to give him a fun challenge.
@@foe9634 all the balance changes and class reworks have made older content generally easier. tanks have permanent 20% mitigation, everyone dealing way more damage than intended especially in ARR (direct hit used to be accuracy, some moves literally having upwards to 40% higher potency than the ARR version), melees don't have TP (MP but worse), it just isn't made with current balance in mind.
most savage raids in HW onwards is massive step up from coils even with that in mind, though.
The beat drop is always a moment of panic in that fight. Cause that's when the madness begins. So much wiping....
I love that Asmongold is enjoying the game so much!
Dude is not even in heavesward yet!! Shadowbringers is going to blow his mind!
So cool that FF14 has set it up so that doing old content like this is still worthwhile and very much enjoyable!
Omg yes! I LOVED the ShB story so much I legit played through it twice
The music from this fight allways remidns me of the nightmare before christmas
All I can remember is how hard hard moogle is, I have been ignoring extreme moogle like a plague, and this video exactly confirms my assumptions.
wait until Ramuh Ex I think that one made me quit for a few years
I love that part when he scream "it's easy" and die like totally noob.
The summoner in me is crying out for a dps rez for prog like this
They had a red mage... :-/
@@cw2821 rdm rez is level 64. and they're locked to lvl 50 due to min ilvl
@@cw2821 should probably know when red mages get their abilities before saying anything. They don't even get their heal until 60.
This one of my favorites, plus the music reminds me of "this is Halloween" from Nightmare before Christmas.
All Hail God Emperor Moogle!
"New players" = the same tank and bard duo he's been running with the whole time.
I've never heard this song before and now my love of FF14 just went up about 100% It's not generic love of Nightmare before christmas but i've always had a bit of a deeper connection to that movie, back in 1994 I got to hang out with a 3rd cousin for the first time and not only found out he was an animator on Nightmare among others but I got to see his actual script from the set he brought with him.
So, how many times you wipe with King Mog. Me, 20 times. Why I keep doing this nightmare.
Nice job, dude. This fight, for looking like a joke, has got to be one of the toughest level 50 extremes if it's min iLVL. Not sure I'd be brave enough to ever try it again, so good on ya!
the song sounds like a cover/remix of 'this is halloween'. i'm digging it
I died at "HOLY SHIAAAT". I can't 😂💀.
OH my lord. Good memories, this was my second favorite ex. Followed by Shiva, just cause that freeze moment and that 🔥 music after. Love the moogles though.
yes this game is amazing when you run it like you have been
King Moogle song sounds like "This is halloween", its pretty epic
I do enjoy watching Asmons journey but every time he pulls without a ready check a Miqo'te dies ;-;
Can someone please let him know many classes benefit greatly from a countdown for their own personal CD's and DPS x'D
This boss is so easy. Get all to 10% health. Don't kill. He heals. Repeat and kill
Good King Moggle Mog, Good King Mog, lord of all the land!
This server, we call home.
Everyone hail to the Moogle King song!
The only ARR trial I haven't finished simply because every one of my duty finder runs had people drop out, including me getting disconnected from one. Every single time, there was someone who knew what to do. Yet every single time, someone disappears. King Moogle Mog always win in the end.
King Moogle Mog: 'off with your head, peasant!'
This is such a fun fight. GG guys
They had a ff event in mhw you could fight a Behemoth and get dracgoon armor, plus transmoged if you did the hardest version. Had boss wipe moves and 3 lives. Got a little mogul costume for your palico too.
This songs got Nightmare Before Christmas vibes to it
I would say King Moggle is definitely one of the tougher extremes in A Realm Reborn. Especially with a mostly sprout group going in blind to the fight. Nice job man. Always loved this song/fight. Those were some murderous Moogles lol.
build a bear would love to have the license for moogles.
the music is "this is halloween" but changed for the game
Imagine if this was the OG version of the moogle extreme and not the more beginner friendly verrsion we have now
Oh god, don't remind me of that mess.
Imagine telling Asmond that. 😅
best boss in the game. I'm happy that I did this when it was current content with my friends, we had a blast with him. Took us a fair amount of tries but once we had it down we pretty muchy one-shotted him every time we tried.
He is much more positive here than he is in wow. If they wiped 10 times on a boss in wow he would MALD
It helps that he is the actual newbie. The rest have at least some experience I think
@@lesterramos6468 Yes and no,most just unsynced it so they're basically new but know how to use their abilities
I like watching Asmon because it helps to see how a first-timer sees/thinks through a fight without any guide. I feel this will help me once EW comes out and want to try figuring out fights as a pioneer.

I'm glad Dominic and Seabass has become a recurring character in the Bald series
