FFXIV Heavensward: The Weeping City of Mhach Raid Guide 

The Wiping City of Salt

Ozma, the Dream Killer Ozma, the Wipe Machine Murderorb the Ball Boy Mr. Round and Profound

whenever you say "this is like turn 6 or this is like turn 7" i have no idea what you're talking about because i never did coil.

Mr happy you are a blessing to ff community seriously- thanks for helping us players out with great videos and guides!

I'm so glad you made this video. Hopefully this will make weeping city runs a little easier on new peeps! No more ozma wipes, amiright? Right? Cause I'm like, going insane at this point

There is also a third kind of extension that will execute a line AOE and spawns in pairs in the latter half of the fight. It typically intersects with the middle of the arena from what I remember.

I just did this one this week. And think the main reason it is giving people issues is because Void ark as a cake walk compared to this one. But it isn't all that bad still. And someone kept voting to abandon after every wipe on a boss. Someone finally said what I was thinking the whole time. Stop calling for the vote and leave if you want to leave so badly.

Ozma, Noobslayer

More like "Wiping City," amiright?

going to edit and re-release this in the morning. the line aoe extension I left out with being so focused on the more threatening ones

Neat guide Happy! After spending something like 6 hours in there for 2 clears, it's nice to see that people will at least have basic understanding of what's going on :p Although, I have some things to point out, especially for the Ozma fight. _On Arachne Eve, the purple Deep Earth Aether (I think that's the name?) also spawns on the first web phase. _On Forgall, for Brand, you only need to be close to at least one other branded person to nullify almost all damages and the Toad debuff _On Ozma, for the Acceleration Bomb, you just need to stop doing anything toward the end of the debuff's duration (basically, when you see the cube pop on top of your head). Rest of the time, you can still dps Ozma/heal/move. It only explodes IF you are acting at the moment the debuff runs out. _Yesterday we had a group that couldn't handle spreading the meteors. So one of the Alliances proposed a solution. Basically, each group was stacking their 2 meteors on the back end of their platform, then running in the front. By doing this, there was "only" something like 4k damages and the Damage Down debuff - BUT no add spawn and quite easier to handle than spreading them and have some HOLY SHIT moments :p As far as I know, there's no enrage timer on him (it?), so the Damage Down doesn't seem to matter much. And that's it! I hope you won't mind reading through my block of text and that my English won't hurt your eyes too much, I apologize already for any mistakes in there x) (Side note : Have you noticed that Ozma is a giant ball stuck in the Gloriole? Kinky, SE, kinky...)

I just got here in the story and after a blind run on the raid, this is helpful in explaining a couple things that were killing me. I love that in FF14 old guides like this are still relevant.

This raid seems exhausting. Think I'll dps instead of tanking it.

alright lets see the new bosses. "Ozma" ...fuck.

I was expecting pain and suffering to happen when i first saw that Ozma was a boss in the Weeping City... i was not disappointed. And i love it. Great boss, great raid. First 24 man that actually requires almost everyone to know what to do, and a single mistake can lead to disaster.

Thanks for posting the guide asap, especially after the Nidhogg EX guide :D Now I have a macro for the previously uninformed

Thanks again for another great guide, Mrhappy. One of the duty finder alliances I had today managed to clear without wiping. >:D

There was a tanking strategy for the last boss that allows everyone to cheese that huge AOE attack of hers. Basically have the tank move her to the wall and keep her facing the wall. When either side of her hair turns into an axe, just have the tank move either left or right so the AOE attack goes towards the wall.

"Look at this diagram.. LOOK AT IT!!!" omfg I'm dying x'D

people be leaving and rage quitting on first day thinking they can get away with fresh raid wipes lol.

Thanks for your guide. Learned a few things. My team first wiped a couple of times but this is definitely my favourite 24-men raid.

Both Ozma and the music in this raid are FF 9 callbacks. I loved it.

great guide this time around happy - I like how you are keeping things more simple nowadays

Thx for these guides MrHappy :) Helps get the overall understanding!! You speak clear and explainable english even for a a non-english speaking person.....so thx! Still wish I could get them translated into my own language lol..well sometimes ^^

ty vm, your guides have helped me tremendously

Second boss so much to memorize:'(

.......it was hell.....AWESOME HAIR HELL

your guides always help me so much Mr. Happy!! Thanks :)

See I'm not suppose to take the fucking blue orbs as a tank

nooooooooooo How am I supposed to get through this with arachnophobia

Arachne Eve - You can stun and heavy the Deep Earth Aether orbs, if you don't think you'll manage to kill it in time. Forgall - the Zombie Talon adds explode and apply vuln up if they're alive (undead?) too long. Also, for Hell Wind - if you're the main tank, it's a fairly safe idea to just plain run from the boss while he's casting it. You really don't want to get autoattacked and immediately killed. His attacks look like they should be ranged, but they're not. Just be wary of getting a Brand mark on you, too, because that can happen. Ozma - it autoattacks all three tanks during orb phase, regardless of enmity. So, tanks can stay in their DPS stance the whole time (unless they need to pick up the Singularity Fragment adds), but be ready to use defensive cooldowns/etc if needed. Calofisteri - Of course her ultimate attack is called Dancing Mad. Just... of course it is.

I managed to clear this day 1 after 3 separate attempts. Here's hoping it gets better with the guide out haha. Thanks Hap.

Great guide! Looking forward to Ozma Savage!

Thanks for the video. There wasn't enough time left on our raid timer to explain the last boss so I had no idea how to dodge properly. >_>

I laughed pretty hard at 14:50 because of how serious you sounded when you said it.

Just a tip I learned for main tanking the last boss. if you know which way she'll do haircut on you can actually turn her so that the cut is turned completely away from the group at her back. you can only do this on the first couple though because she doesn't cleave then and you lose control before haircuts later on.

LOOK AT THIS DIAGRAM, LOOK AT IT! 12:03

Wow so the second boss is sorta like Lady Yunalesca from FFX, he does mega-death as well and the only way to dodge it is to be zombified, very nice

This is the best 24-man so far..... and the Ozma area/fight is absolutely fantastic (not just--but certainly mostly---because I'm a huge fan of Baum).

Imagine if Ozma had a savage version....

also i may not know much but this tower does wonders for spirit bonding.

for the 1st boss you should have said during the sandstorm part to make sure your standing on webs that are far away from center, since some people still stand on webs in middle and get 1shot when she comes up

Not something that happens often but killed my group yesterday because it took us by surprise so we didn't dodge in time; one of our group got the meteor marker just before Ozmashade died and jumped straight into the portal without realising. Turns out you can bring the meteors back into the main boss arena. So if you get the marker as the shade dies it might be easiest to wait for it to place before jumping through the portal. Gave us a good laugh though.

Mr.Happy you are a great guy, and I hope to one day be able to buy you a drink at Fanfest :)

14:52 "Penetration! *gigidi*" XD Nice guide as always. Thank you :)

This Raid ist 1000x times better than Void Ark....design and mechanic wise.

great guide. Looks... eep.

I don't normally post on things but I wanted to add something to ozma. For the sake of the healers during Pyramid phase after the Blast on main platform if people spread out abit on there respected platform, the bleeding effect doesn't hit as many people making it easier for the healers. Because When the Bleeding effect is applied it targets one person then does abit of a splash aoe around them, not sure if this was said or not if it was then ignore me plz.

Now just to get the other 23 people to watch this XD

thankyou! I tried clearing this yesterday went in blind everyone started yelling and screaming at each other so I bounced

And this put me off the raid quite a lot. This looks like hell...

Best 24 man raid, easily. This has set the standard for 24 man raids cause it actually feels LIKE A RAID. They better not pussy out and make the next one super easy.

meteors don't need spread, you can stack them on top of eachother away from the group and run back before impact.

To note from a healer of mine in the FC that I ran with this, the bleeds you get on Ozma can be leeched/esuna from what he told me. So that should make the phase just a little bit easier. I have yet to heal it myself so when I get the chance, ill test it out myself.

Small correction though, the adds phase needs 2 people on the small atomos platform. Doesn't light up on 1.

"Penetration" "A forced pelvic thrust" thanks for the lesson happy

I found an easier way to deal with the meteor/add phase for the ozma fight. the damage the adds do when they explode doesn't hurt that much and the dmg down only lasts 15 seconds and makes it manageable to recover from, allowing you keep momentum on Ozma.

That black hole part, it looks like our character is high

hey Haps, that was a 'hairy' situation you were in on the last boss......

Misterhappy, please respond. You forgot to mention the final boss has one more mechanic. She summons two hair thingy near the outer arena and both faces intercept to a V letter. It's basically a "Divebomb", it fires a laser at wherever they are facing. You miss this tidbit....

The chasing lazers during the bijou phase of last boss also affect the bijous, not just players

Last boss got booty doe

need this! ty Happy. I'm tired of being a potato, not my style lol

I really enjoy this raid. Ozma is darn pretty to wipe to.

We all have to go sometime

Thanks for the guide. ^.^ Just need to get the diagram loaded on some hosting site and have them LOOK AT IT... >w

I laughed at 12:05 "Look at this diagram! Look at it!" because everyone every damn raid argues over where the meteors go and never agree and wipe all 24 people... *sigh*

Somehow I see the nerf hammer happening in later patches because of some people not liking a challenge

lol giggity...cleared this last night after tons of wipes. it was fun!!!

I appreciate this. I gotta ask, the healers eat the orbs? Most groups have the tank from what I have seen, but that works better?

hey Mrhappy did u get that minion with dat sneaky 94 roll xP ?

Really wish people would look at that diagram. My team killed me because they overlapped and I had no where to go. So took a big hit. Tried getting out of the circles because they surrounded the play field but was too late

Does the minion and lid+card have a 100% rate here too? Every clear I've seen or heard about has got three cards, the minion and the lid...

oh the dancing mad kefka nod.

My first run, only got wiped once and its not even on Ozma (final boss only one wipe). We had a couple new others too so I'm surprised we got through Ozma with no wipe.

Lawd have mercy this is a real lot.

Penetration also stun people. And they don't have time to run from the extentions. So it's would be wise to seen safe spots where extention wouldn't spawn and face them (I've never seen them spawn near entry of the arena, but I was there only 4 or 5 times... And 1 time we kill her from 20-30% with only 1 alliance mostly alive so... It's probably not so accurate information, but at least this attack was seen number of times) And some question about second boss adds - I've tried to esuna Doom 3 or 4 times but always seen "Esuna has no effect" on the first day. It's really work? P.S. Sorry, English is not my native language so my grammar my be pretty bad.

Can't wait to try this out lol

thanks happy!

kool vid and great info

We had some idiot in my last run telling people to stand on the bridge when he turns into a pyramid...inspite of the wipes people kept listening. Nevermind stay where you are when you have the black ball...sigh..

There will be no wiping city nerf, according to Yoshi-P in Live Letter

Is there a way to make watching these mandatory before even looking at the raid DF? Cuz I for one know better than to go into new/unfamiliar content without first hitting up a Mrhappy video.

Anyone have video of Ozma's Doomsday? Just curious as to seeing what happens if you fail.

i just want the fending armour but no one runs this on duty finder anymore...

Wish I had found this sooner. Could have saved the 2k gil from the Aesthetician. Certainly won't be getting hit be split ends again.

Yes please look at the diagram XD so many people mess up meteors

Question: What are those four bigger buttons on your UI? Cooldowns?

those things and icons all over the screen take away the magic of the game, anyway to get rid of them?

Just finished this for the first time...and my inventory was full... Q_Q fml

do you get any mounts from this raid?

I've cleared this a few times now. In a few weeks a it will be a cake walk. lol

cube boss it's the best even tho people rage hope they don't do anything to it in a patch or something

you said that the meteors get up to a totoal of 6 which isnt true they get up to 9 with bad raidwide dps ;-; and people only verry rarely survive that

well guess i wont finish this 1 till I'm lvl 90 and bored thank yoshi its not an msq quest.

people day one be like, come on guys, thought this was a farming party not a learning party!

The final boss is just so easy compared to Ozma we literally solo allianced it cause no one else paid attention to extension

This isn't a hard raid but there are going to be some wipes here and there. NA players are so easy to give up. Jesus.

I've been in this place for 8 hours now, with only 1 Ozma kill. Kill me.

Anyone know if there's anythings specific to tanks, OTs or MT? Wanting to go in and gear up my PLD but I'd rather not go in blind if I'm gonna be wiping groups due to lack of knowledge.
