Final Fantasy XIV Player Soloes 'Unbeatable' Trial by Playing Two Characters at Once
The achievement demonstrates that a fight long considered mechanically impossible to solo can be beaten by a single player controlling two roles, using unconventional job combinations and precise timing.
Reporting from 1 sources: Automaton.
A player named Rath Games has soloed the Warrior of Light Trial in Final Fantasy XIV, a boss fight designed for eight players that includes an instant-kill mechanic requiring a full party's limit break to survive. Rath Games controlled two characters simultaneously, using a Blue Mage and a Sage, and exploited post-revival invulnerability to bypass the fatal attack.
Rath Games has been playing FF14's main story quests solo for about three years, using only gear obtained through personal play. For the Warrior of Light Trial, he chose a Blue Mage and a Sage, controlling both with Alt+Tab. The Blue Mage's Self-Destruct ability let him deliberately die before the boss's Ultimate Crossover attack, and the Sage revived him just as the attack landed, using the brief invulnerability after revival to survive. He first attempted the fight on May 25 and succeeded on June 2, the third day of attempts.
