My Experience on BA (The Forbidden Land Eureka)

Public
Hello Blog! Thank you for watching!

I complete BA run during last Sunday (19th March) and please allow me to tell my story on the way crossing BA in both Elemental server and Mana server.
Maybe also a guide for BA runs in these two servers too, to help players understand what’s happening, but in this blog, want to focus on sharing my experience.



Before I enter Pryos, I thought BA is some kind of very difficult content, so I start prepare for quite a long time ago. Watching lots of guides and dry running the process. Don’t worry BA is not that hard, is just I take it too seriously. The difficulty of BA is similar to Heavensward’s Alliance raid. If you watch guide and observe mechanics carefully, you will be fine.

The point that makes BA a hard content, and also the only pressure in BA, is that you cannot resurrect people normally, which means you should be very careful during the run. Just don’t forget the “Spirit of the Remembered”, it should be always up incase anything happens.

I try to get into BA from Friday, but we didn’t get enough people into BA, so we didn’t even start running.

My actual first run of BA is in Saturday, 18th of March, in elemental server. I am well prepared, using Summoner just because is my first time, and didn’t die during all the BA run, the only death of the run, is the enrage from the last boss Ozma. We reach the enrage time limit (10:30) with around 3-5% HP left.

My first BA run is failed. The reason of failure is, there have too many newcomers are using Platebearer, including myself.

This is my fault. I understand that the guide tell us to change to offensive Logos, but because the guide is few years ago since 4.X Eureka just release, and I thought is already 6.0! Maybe is fine for people to use Platebearer now? The answer is, NO. The DPS check is still tight when most of the player didn’t have any elemental bonus. I wonder if I did change to offensive logos, probably can complete it for my first try…

After absorbing the failure experience in elemental server, I decide to find Eureka related Community, to understand when BA start usually and also announcement on BA events. Elemental server didn’t have much community, but I found Mana’s Eureka Discord server, and I decided to try the DC travel.



During my second run, I am still SMN, didn’t get into a full party, no tank or healer in team, so someone get a Cure L III, and borrow 1 tank and 1 healer during the 6-elemental room. The whole run is very smooth, clean and fast. We finish quick and they ask for the second run, sadly because someone doesn’t want to cooperate, we didn’t start the second BA run. (The good thing is, Mana will always have BA record no matter they clear it or not and will have short description about how they clear it or reasons why they didn’t clear).

Thanks for MANA’s Player! I clear BA for the first time!

The next day, 20th March, Monday. I have school and when I run back home, Mana’s BA is start. I tried to wait for supporting party but is too hard to get into BA without Aetheric Stabilizers in MANA, so I return to elemental to farm. Surprisingly, some people are also asking to do BA run! And so I join the BA run, second time for elemental, and third time for BA.

This time, I try to use Healer, because with the last run experience on Mana, they are shortage on Healer, so maybe same in elemental? (Not quite actually, more shortage on tank for elemental, find it out after a few run that ends in the 6-elemental room.)

I use White Mage for my third run on BA, and because is my first run as healer, I didn’t bring “Sacrifice L”. The run is smooth enough, not much memorable point, seems like is a smooth run too. (Gosh I just realize I forget to wear the elemental bonus body parts during that time, notice that from some of my screenshots…that’s why those AoEs are so painful during the run… I am glad I didn’t make mistake or die like a dummy during the run…)

When I think Monday is going to end, I see an announcement on MANA, is a mid-night run for Japan time, but because I am in EU area, is just dinner time for me. Well, I am interested! So I join, this time I join as Scholar, still playing healer just because I have some logos action didn’t finish up during the last BA run. Something special during this run, My party is Main Tank on one of the plate, and I am the healer who need to handle the Bleed bait Mechanics.

This is the first time for me to handle extra mechanics. I know the bait healer will need to stand on the back of the plate during the triangle form. Everything is smooth during the fight, is just I am confuse about then should I get back to the group. I run back to the front of the plate during meteor, but the bleed also get into some of our party member. Is lucky that bleed won’t kill player instantly, so I have time to recover everyone. Seems like is not that hard? I clear BA again smoothly.

Monday ends, and Tuesday comes.
I take another BA run in elemental, also as Healer, also in a MT party, and again as the Bleed bait. Although is the second time being Bleed bait, but I don’t really think I did enough good for the first time, and so I tell my party that I may not be good at the mechanics.

Sadly, This BA run is failed to clear, and ends up all player get out by black hole.

To conclude the failure of this run, DPS is just the concern of enrage, but we actually didn’t reach enraged and get out by the black hole at last. The problem should be managing mechanics during the fight.

I am one of the reasons causing the failure. I am the one who being the Bleed bait, I am standing on the back of the plate, standing at the back handling mechanic’s, which I am not able to heal both the party or MT or myself, the other healer in my team is new to BA and he will need to handle lots of healing.

We lost two members during other mechanics, after that I die during the first meteor, just because I didn’t get enough far from the meteor spot. I stand up again thanks for “Spirit of the Remembered”. I shouldn’t die because I have enough time to move to the safe spot, but I hesitate because of the bleeding concern. The bleed won’t kill anyone as the healer can recover it, which I should understand during the previous fight, but I still hesitate and cause my first death. But the first death isn’t move destructive.

My Second Death is also about meteor, is because one of our meteor is on MT, which MT should not leave the plate or else someone will take the attack from Ozma, but someone is already standing on the back spot of the plate, our MT don’t have enough time to get to the left side meteor spot, so the meteor is settled on the plate slightly to the right side. Not sure if the meteor explodes, but I think the location should be fine because player will just need to stand on the left side to servive, but I didn’t have enough time react when I see the meteor spot… Again, I am too close to the meteor, this is my second death and I my “Spirit of the Remembered” didn’t activate. This is the part that our party start getting chaos.

I am the Bleed bait healer and now I die, someone will need to replace my position. Also, 1 Healer will be tough, especially when the healer is using Platebearer and not familiar to the mechanics.

As we keep losing party members, The DPS should be enough to finish Ozma, getting out by black hole is the best ending I can think of. Because enrage will cause everyone level down to 59, but getting out by black hole will keep player in 60.

Although our Main Tank say sorry about the late coming Tank LB, I think that is not necessary for T LB, this is not our MT’s fault. Because I didn’t see Tank LB during the previous BA runs, which I think is just because me as the main healer, die too early during the first meteor, and die again in the second meteor, both shouldn’t die if I get enough far from the meteor. And after my second death without coming back, our party didn’t get enough healing and start to collapse.

(I have physical delay from UK to JP server, causing less reacting time and movement delay, is more difficult but I just need to react faster when the mechanic sign appears. This affect lot of my DPS though, but at least I can stay alive.)

This is the most memorable failure on my BA run, didn’t try to be Bleed Bait again after that run, I would like to practice being Bleed Bait if I can, but I don’t want to cause failing on BA run…

After the failure in Tuesday afternoon (should be Tuesday night for Asia, me in person are in UK so… I am GMT+0). I see an announce of having a sudden BA run in MANA, so I DC travel to MANA and join their Mid-night BA run. Didn’t remember much though, should be another smooth run.



I still have a few screenshot records on other BA runs, some are smooth, and some are massy but still manage to clear. The massy clear is mostly because of the acceleration bomb.

There have one accident which is really memorable, should be MANA’s BA run, someone pull Owain before any time announce, then exist the fighting area, after the fighting area is locked, Owain teleport to Art side, causing lots of death in the Art side. Not sure what’s happen on the other side, maybe is because someone see the fight start too suddenly and get into the fighting area also try to start the fight, then locked up inside and take the instant death attack… Just reminder for everyone don’t pull anything before tank does… Healer finishes all the “Sacrifice L” for the first boss fight. And that is the point that I think I will need to prepare Two sets of “Sacrifice L” …

After that run, I feel like I can’t leave healer role anymore because I always have some healer logos action on my logos slot… Also want to try playing Tanks in BA too. (Full set gear with elemental bonus are ready!)

And after completing 10+ BA runs, finally can say I have some experience on BA now, maybe can also give some reminders for newcomers too.
