Bruh. This guide makes the mechanic so much easier to understand. It's like 6 hours of prog condensed into a two and a half minute video. And super clean, too! Thank you for your hard work!
Out of the several guides I've watched on this (because for some reason my brain does not jive with this mechanic), this one clicked the best. I love the bullet points and diagrams combined with seeing it in action...very well done, thank you!!
Excellent guide, as always. The two paths shown at the very end help a ton, especially since no other guides have depicted them like that before. There is actually a third way of doing Devour that works for both patterns. You position yourself so that the starting point of the jaws marker is directly NW to where you are standing (the intersection of the + you are standing on, if you're looking at the floor markings) and hit sprint. Then run forward to the middle of the arena (but not directly in the middle) after the first jump, run through the middle after the second jump, turn around, and repeat. The timing looks scary at first, but doing this run-stop method is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. The problem is that there aren't any videos up of it so far, just a few Japanese tweets and some twitch clips.
I have seen that one in this video: th-cam.com/video/UW8sNgaaOp0/w-d-xo.html in his gameplay footage he plays it differently but the animation is that exact strat you described i recomend waiting for the 2nd aoe to show before running straight through and then hitting sprint after you turn back for the first time, so that it lasts to the end of the mechanik
Always with the quality animations to simplify mechanics explanation! Already suffered and cleared through having to understand day 1 images but thank you for the effort!
Nice and clear as always o/. I've been doing the JP dodge found recently of merely running back and forth across the middle three times after every second jump myself.
I'm gonna suggest for the zigzag pattern to hold your sprint and just walk to the corner, you can make it pretty easily and use sprint around the 4th or 5th dash or so to get to your tower quicker
After struggling with this mechanic two raid nights in a row, this video made me understand it instantly. Coming back for a refresh before a reclear tonight and I can't believe how useful this is. Thank you for all your hard work, it's incredibly appreciated!
My raid leader showed us this strat and while I’ve managed to grasp how to do it, some members still can’t get the hang of it. This video should help a lot. TnX
TBH I wait for an extra AoE even and I still make it (Zigzag: running after 3rd jump, Circle: Running on 1st/5th jumps). After Braindead strat came out, I have no idea how people still mess it up. This makes it even *more* obvious what to do. Thanks as always Joon!
I don't know the name for it in PF, but I start across from his 2nd jump location and move across on his 2nd jump. If it's zigzag, I turn counter-clockwise 1 quadrant to end up where he already struck twice. If it's circle, I repeat the motion 2 more times every 2 jumps, being sure to hang a little to the right on the 3rd time I move so I swing away from his jumps. I find that the easiest, because both patterns start the same and move the same way. It's just that with zigzag, you can get out of it early in the guaranteed safe quadrant. Plus, the movements are so short, that I can save Sprint for after to get to my tower.
hector guide help me clear the fight, but reward it with joonbob alway feel better because he si include live footage, and thank for whoever think about this braindead strat
Yep this is the video that clicked for me Did it day 1 but was in a proper group so I had to rely on callouts, watched lots of guides on this and try it out few hours ago in devour prog PF and died zero times from it Good video, thanks!
Same exact strat I used but I was terrible at explaining what I do. Thank you for putting this up so I can share with my static so they dont think Im insane.
It took me a bit to figure this one out cause there is a lot of timing nuance that you need to get down even if you know the theory of it. Still hate the mech even if I do dodge it every time cause there is always at least 2 people that get hit in PF.
Now that people were learning how to do the mech, it launches another way of doing it that is absolutely better, but people will need to learn it again so it's another week of cursed PFs™
Is this grid even pointing to true north? On my grid it shows up starting in the NE section, goes down and up for ZigZag, or goes down and across to the left for Circle.
Personally I find it a little easier to view the starting jump the boss does as 'Relative North West' and I always preposition to the 'Relative South' location from that. Depending on if its the Zig-Zag pattern or the Circle pattern I only have to step one pizza slice left or right from that location while I wait for the first 2 jumps to actually happen. Its a minor detail but I think it could help some players visualize it.
Devour is ez af. All you need to do is find the pattern Zigzag : ccw movement > cw mkvement 1. Stand diagonally opp, but a bit below to 1st mark 2. After 2 jumps run 4 5 pizza slices ccw 3. Run 2-3 pizza slices cw Not zigzag : cw movment > ccw movement 1. Stand below 1st mark 2. Run 5 6 pizza slices cw 3. Run 2 3 pizza slices ccw How many steps/pizza slices comes with practice If you do it close center thers very less movement required. Thers lots of ways to do it, its better to understand how he jumpz in each pattern and understanding safe spots, instead of just blindly following someones braindead strat
This is fine, but I prefer the braindead strategy that involves crossing the line every 2nd jump. The movement is identical with both patterns and it's quite consistent once you get the hang of it.
Bit of an odd question regarding the towers after Devour but I saw that in both examples here all 4 towers were being soaked and it still spawned the Bait add. Is there like a special strat for that to happen? I thought you had to leave one tower unsoaked to spawn the add.
One tower only had one person, which still spawns the add as intended to proceed! Normally have to be stacked by two people in order for the add to not spawn. That one same tower spawns an AoE to the closest person, and does massive damage that can be normally stacked, This one allows for a tank to just invuln that part, and allow the other tank to be able to adjust in the case that someone dies.
I'm surprised people are not using the JPN strategy. It's the same for any pattern. You just go back and forth every two jumps (forward and back and forward and back, etc)
@@neophyte_DQT recognizing the pattern and correctly choosing which movement you are going to do are also additional failure points -- this is personal preference.
@@Kullerva171 true ppl have different strengths. my experience for this is people typically know what to do, but not how to do the movement. especially since you can just follow someone else to the correct starting spot. i also don't like the JP strat at all, the movement is unnecessarily precise compared to this joonbob vid end of the day idgaf what people choose to do as long as they are not dying b/c they chose something harder for them. this is a personal mech you can do whatever you want
I don't really like the description of "dash diagonally across", because a lot of people take this to mean "run in a straight line" and they end up getting clipped. I know the diagram / video correctly show you should curve slightly, but the amount of people I've seen die running in a straight line through center is too damn high. Still this shows the solution really clearly, better than the "braindead" video floating around (really tired of the overuse of braindead)
That is better and can be done but "start diagonal and run counter-clockwise/clockwise-and-back" is easier for smoother brains like myself to understand and remember than "stand in the middle and leftrightleftforwardrightbackleftrightforward"

thanks for holding the fort on the early weeks and days 🙏
It's a super clever way to dodge the clockwise devour! Thank you so much for the splendid animation!

I always love watching your videos, no matter if I've cleared the duty yet or not!
As a motion graphic artist myself, this is always a treat to see :D

11/10 music choice.
Nice and clear as always o/. I've been doing the JP dodge found recently of merely running back and forth across the middle three times after every second jump myself.
I hear that Etrian Odyssey track Good taste
Yoooo is that eo2 music?? Never thought I'd get to hear my favorite series music from a raid guide. That's awesome.
2's my fav of the series haha
joonbob's choice of music never disappoints, every goddamn time!.. so I am here to ask, WHAT MUSIC IS THIS!.. thanks in advance :3
@@KalladinZ like in my comment, it's eo2 which stands for etrian odyssey 2, a challenging dungeon crawling rpg series.
I'm gonna suggest for the zigzag pattern to hold your sprint and just walk to the corner, you can make it pretty easily and use sprint around the 4th or 5th dash or so to get to your tower quicker
Love the Etrian music pick
Literally was just talking about how much I miss joonbob videos for mechanics. Were on p7s right now but nice to see you back!
good luck on prog!
Been watching you since E8S dude, your videos are always TOP NOTCH! Waiting for the day you start throwing some ultimate guides into the mix :)
my group is struggling a bit with this so thank you for the top tier visuals as always!
good luck on raiding

This is how any mechanic should be explained, ty :)
Feels good to be in these again.
Amazing guide as always joon also really like the music as well
Got my clear in PF with everyone doing this so I can personally confirm it works

Always bangers playing on the guide videos, thanks joonbob!
Proud to have been doing this mech right!
Just what I was looking for. No wonder some PF strats are named after you!

amazing guides as always

Ty for the party! It was my first time in the instance. (I was SCH). It was great healing w/ you.
was missing you!

Love your guides dude. got a like and subscribe from me!
oh shit Joonbob is on the scene
why you name in the game is not joon bob?

I love this music how funky
Are you planning on doing a guide for every savage fight Joon?
probably atleast a diagram per fight but no promises
All hail the king 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Thank you for this guide on how to avoid living out my wild fantasies on getting vored.
nobody stoppin u
alternatively : do the back and forth strat dodging into second hit diagonally every 2nd jump, in the middle. works for either pattern .
You are my hero :)
This is the way
anyone got a link to this version of the song? ive found the others but not this one
Personally I find it a little easier to view the starting jump the boss does as 'Relative North West' and I always preposition to the 'Relative South' location from that. Depending on if its the Zig-Zag pattern or the Circle pattern I only have to step one pizza slice left or right from that location while I wait for the first 2 jumps to actually happen. Its a minor detail but I think it could help some players visualize it.
I like to run circles in middle for circle pattern cause its like you chasing the boss for 4 jumps and then boss chases you for 4 jumps 🤣
This fight was harder in August :) good video tho, still gonna laugh when people get dunked on trying the dodges
Just want to know why the heck do all that mouvement if you can just stand in the middle and and walk 2 cm on the side to avoid the devour
Is lb3 up by this point? Can we just tank lb it? :D
Chad Etrian Odyssey enjoyer
Its amazing because its literally apoc from edens verse. Just dodge to certain sides of the pizza slice. 2 movements. No sprint tom and jerry bs
yea ive been tellin people this lol

Devour is ez af. All you need to do is find the pattern
Zigzag : ccw movement > cw mkvement
1. Stand diagonally opp, but a bit below to 1st mark
2. After 2 jumps run 4 5 pizza slices ccw

No I like to be devoured! Gets my vore kick in
P5s....Persona 5 Strikers...I see you.
I just run in the inner circle opposite of where he's jumping.
Its morbing time
Why don't you dodge in the inner part of arena (between poison puddles)? You wouldn't even need sprint then
That is better and can be done but "start diagonal and run counter-clockwise/clockwise-and-back" is easier for smoother brains like myself to understand and remember than "stand in the middle and leftrightleftforwardrightbackleftrightforward"
I mean it was obvious from the start?
holy shit
Its Devour 2 you wanna watch out for 😔

if you die in the slime you cant die to devour
Persona 5 Strikers ?? why is that set as the game
Theres a much easier way to do this second pattern... so funny that not a single youtube was able to find out
People still die ro this????
atlast
I keep clipping the very last jump. Kill me
