How I Cleared One of the HARDEST Raids in FFXIV in 7 Days 

Congrats! TEA is one of my favorite fights, and I am glad I could lend a hand at a rough point in your prog and left a good impact ^^

Drg from the party that cleared - Still wilds me you cleared it in 7 days in 12 hours of actual instance. Awesome job man.

Glad I was able to help :D I was the AST on your clear party. Watching this is so hype and heartwarming, and is the reason why I help others clear fights, the reactions, the sighs of relief, the emotion. Congratz once again and hope to see you around for the other Ultimates! c:

Hey hey! Hioki here, the DNC :) Grats again! It was an absolute pleasure to help you, you were so ready! Cheers to more runs in Dawntrail 🎉

CHAD!!!!! It's Catniss Goh - the Sage LOL. So glad you were able to clear before Dawntrail!!!! AWESOME!!!

What an amazing video! 30 minutes went by just like that. Great editing, graphics, story build up and resolution in the end. Instantly made me more excited to raid! Can't wait for more videos!

Heck yeah dude! I'm excited to sit down and watch this finally!

I've come across Celeste in TEA PF many times. I always know we are in for a good time when I see them

GGs to you man! The feeling after clearing these fights are so worth and will forever be cherished.

P6 FRESH - SAUSAGE ROLL - I HAVE THING

"Just like the simulations" Great video and congrats on your clear, Triple Legend! ~ I remember progging this fight myself in Party Finder and seeing every phase transition for the first time is such a hype experience, especially when Perfect Alexander assembles together, stands up and delivers one of the best one-liners in FFXIV. "Look upon the perfection that will be your destruction." I appreciate the fact that you progged in PF, they don't sing songs about the hours and hours it takes to fill. Looking forward to seeing your video on DSR! :)

brilliant video dude, was awesome to get to see the progress you made live and to support you!

Told you you could do it before the time limit, bro. So awesome that you did it in 7 days. That blew me away!

good job man! i cleared tea in pf in 2 weeks a few months ago and thought i was fast lol! i ended up falling in love with the fight and cleared it 30 times for all my weapon totems and then some.

love love love your stuff man!!! you get them raids

Lol, I did this same thing. And it's so funny to recognize names in your pf parties

What a wild journey.

Tea was such a great fight! I still remember the high from clearing it. Hoping i can also do dsr and top someday but the time commitment needed and real life makes it so difficult.

Congrats on ur clear! I took on a similar challenge had never been in an ultimate before, I took on UWU before the dawntrail release. it took 5 days of endless sitting in pf to get groups that disband after 3 pulls and making a discord with people i had met to get some progress in and finding a discord with people dedicated to helping people clear to finally being able to get a w. I know uwu isn’t as much of a challenge as tea is but I relate a lot to what you said in ur video. Sending positive vibes you deserved that clear!

Great job with the clear, looking into getting into ultimate raiding. This was very inspiring

Hi there! I think I had you in a M3S party recently. Strange to see you in my youtube recs after lol. Might have been another chad though, there are alot of them out there

I was there when the stream for clear and i'm glad you cleared it! Though i hope my little reinforce help you a bit to prog before, and hopefully someday i could clear ultimate and having serious play. GG

7 raid days, using PF for that fight is just insane. Well done! My group finished that fight as well, with just 10 days before DT launch. Though we did it as a group and over a couple of months. definitely my favourite raid in this game so far.

Wow congrats! I had almost the same experience! Granted, I took a bit longer, started a month before Dawntrail, more on and off, but pushed really hard the last week with pretty much all my freetime to clear the Sunday before maintenance. I also think we may have played together at some point. The BJCC wall was so rough to push past for me, inception and even wormhole groups struggling to get through bj/cc for an ENTIRE week, and I was really losing steam. Eventualy there was one group that I was in where we finally saw through bjcc and I was able to do both inception and wormhole on my first time seeing them, before prompty dieing to J waves, but it was so invigorating. It took a few more days and dieing to PA enrage once before finally clearing. An incredible experience all around.

Congrats! I also cleared it for the first time just a couple days before dawntrail came out and managed to get a few more clears yet it was one of the worst and best experience i have made in this game. The fight itself is a masterpiece no question but dealing with party finder made me lose faith. Arrogant and toxic people made me actually lie about my prog point so i would finally get past phase 1. Cannot wait to do it all over again with future rewritten ❤️

Looking back on TEA and my prog, I think it's definitely one of the easiest ultimates out there. It's very well paced and the guides have set the raid up to essentially be the easiest it could possibly be. The hardest part of the whole raid is unironically Phase 1 and Phase 2 because progging past those points is incredibly difficult in PF. After I was done with P2 it took me like... 2-3 PFs to clear in general. More or less skipped wormhole.

Congrats on clearing one of the best raids in the game! My static and I cleared this in roughly 5 months due to very restrictive schedules and some drama from one of the members. Nisis are one the biggest walls, wormhole was our biggest hurdle that broke some folks.

what a beautiful story. congrats on the clear!

This was an amazing documentary down to watch future iterations

The only reason why I ever touched Ultimate category was for the Weapons Refrain Ultimate's Blue Diamond glowing weapons, I wanted these weapons SO BAD that I suffered in Party Finder... The hardest phases were the Ultima ones... But hey never underestimate the power of dedication

I was so pumped near the end of the video. GG on the clear man! Now I wanna do it aswell :)

That's awesome man. I have been playing for 10 years and never done an ultimate fight. I'm to slow for ultimate raids. Much respect.

18:03 I was there (warrior) for your UWU clear and can't believe it's already been 2 years bro. Congrats on Triple Legend!

big congratulations on this achievement!

i have a slight issue with what you call a prog point. It is a good practice in PF to designate your prog point by the mechanic you can do with your eyes closed, in your sleep, with hands tied and fingers glued together. THAT is a prog point. Reaching certain point in the fight doesn't make it a prog point necessarily. It is a cleanup at most. But of course nobody does that and behaves like a jerk if not outright lies about the afformentioned progpoint.

Sorry for the scuffed footage quality that appears intermittently. You'll notice that the video quality gets significantly clearer on day 7 and that's because I finally switched to a 2 PC stream setup on that day and the quality is night and day compared to before

I did the same thing through project perfect. I joined PF for 6 days I think I raided about 10-14hrs a day to get my clear before DT and it was such a grind but the feeling afterwards could not be matched once we got the clear.

One of my friends progged and cleared DSR in 9 days in pf solo. If you degen hard enough anything is possible

congrats on the clear! my favorite raid ❤

im not interested in this video, but i came here to say that I absolutely can NOT get rid of this video on my homepage! congratulations! you must be doing something right!

holy shit congrats!!! the comment is quite late as i chance upon this video only today because of the algorithm this video is honestly so inspiring, im so scared to even start a savage and seeing you clear ultimates like this honestly is crazy for me to fathom

Congrats on the tea clear my friend got theirs yesterday after 11 days so I am going to try and go in my prog point was LC so I guess it’s time to suffer

yeah the hardest part is not even learning the fight, its the wait time in pf LOL

gratz dude what a banger of a video

Congrats - triple legend? Time to go for home and finish the rest off! That said something I always tell raiders that want to get into ultimate - you get what you put in, it won't be handed to you and don't expect it to get handed to you, but you will get the pay off eventually whether its in 7 days or in a year.

Goddamn, Onslaught pulling? Confidence for myself just sky rocketed

Congrats 🎉😊❤❤ chad triple legend

big grats dude holy

Goes to show you the most important part of ff raiding is also will power besides knowing hpw to raid

I wish i only had to wait 2 hours for a party, in OCE i wait for 12 hours a day for no party

Oh nisi I don’t miss you in the slightest

phase 2 music so makes up for how much of a wall it is lol

GIGACHAD moment right there.

Real Gangster Shit yo. Grats for the clear (obligatory it was harder in x year meme goes here)

Aether PF works if you know how to work it! Congrats on the clear!

this is one of the most dedicated players I've ever fucking seen. Congrats on your fucking clear dude you deserve it

Ah damn you beat me by one day. I beat it in 8 days and also did only pf

Truely... a CHAD

yayaya I also speedran this in 7 days with pf!!!

Congratulations!!!! Could you send the link to the Discord people who helped you?

Im so proud of you

i was surpised to see tenno here haha. they are friends of mine. small world

I cleared all ultimates in PF and I can say it is perfectly doable. Just dodge people who lies about their prog point

So 7 days of suffering camping 24/7 D: god dam man. My friend who works a lot would have no chance to spare so much time so he just ''invested in these runs'' lmao and got weapon skins asap. Gz for prevailing!

Noob question, why is it called Tea? And is this the current hardest content in the game including dawntrail?

LETS GOOOOO 🔥

Damn he's good

The simulation is extremely useful/significantly reduced progression time if everyone had practice....

OMG, I forgot about this Chad of a Thorsen channel! IT was so fun watching you go through EW on its launch hype. I'm amazed you've stuck out with the game for so long, I chose to unsub during the patches, but that's no surprise, because the more you pour into this game, the more it rewards you, hooking you in even deeper.

meanwhile i got complete dogshit people in UCOB PF for like 3 weeks

Good job man, now you deserve to google rule 34 and Perfect Alexander. Enjoy ❤

LETS GOOOO

Babe, wake up, Chad Thorson is spilling TEA. (PS I like your haircut, you look really cute)

Pretty sure if you just swapped off tank with that carry group looking for viewers attention they could have killed it with you dead. Very easy to get past enrage now with only 7 alive the whole time. Dam skipping through this is a hard carry haha, TEA isn't what it use to be.

Have fun. With top lmao

I can't even clear DT ex 2 kekw

The answer to the title is "I got carried".

world prog next

Sorry but TEA is literally the second most EZ ultimates after UWU.....

Hey man if you wanna clear dsr in 7 days let me know :^)

In 2024 with classes buff after years and years of classes buff even synchro is a joke but what ever lmao. This alexander raid dosn’t taste the same at all

>tea >difficult pick one

yipee

Running with people who have 100+ kills probably helped.

congrats on clearing Tea but I don't think it can be called one of the hardest raids? sounds like you are over hyping it. Mechanicly yeah it takes pretty good execution but the damage, heal, and mit checks simply aren't here for what ultimate is known is for. heck sometimes you have to hold dps so you don't push a phase too quickly. I mean Ucob was cleared with only 6 players. yeah it's a different ultimate but just goes to show you how powercreep changes these. Like congrats you cleared Tea in so short a time but just be aware current ultimates take a little more.

So… in the end… you got carried through prog. Cool. Your clear in 7 days doesn’t happen unless you partied with people that assist others clearing. Congrats, here’s a cookie.

Naaaaaw another saus legend 💀

The community has already solved it for you and just need to follow the step by step guide, combined with the fact that the fight's DPS and heal check is now basically nothing... it's not at all hard or notable to kill TEA from fresh in a week. This is barely worth a video.

Please do the same challenge with DSR and TOP. Those are the challenge. UWU, TEA, and UCoB are free now and days

Hide people names when you are streaming or ask if they wish appear in your videos…

TEA UWU and UCoB are the babies first ultimate raid. I want to congratulate you but I'll await your DSR video
