Helping out in Coil T7 – I got this.

One fine day – everything was perfectly nice and normal – Lyssa approached me.

That could only mean bad news…

Did she receive a complaint about the grass floor I was secretly growing in the basement of our house? (preparation for my private room)

Did she dislike that I had not mention her in a while in my Blog?

Did she just need someone to stab?!

It was worse.

She invited me to her Coil static for one evening to try T7. As Jam didn’t have time on that day, they needed a White Mage replacement.

I felt honored and terrified at the same time.

It was me who had been chosen to join this truly hard endgame content battle. They would put their lives in my little hands! Trust my cures, my regen, my medica. Trust, that I would not stone them witht he frequent conal petrify attachs emerging from random people.

And then again… it was a hard Coil battle.

In the end, the feeling of honor won and with courage and confidence I joined the battle!

Little Lamia Medusa Lady awaited us in a frenzy dance.

The arena was really impressive.

Creatures were capruted in green liquid things that looked like batteries. The surroundings were pretty much ruins but they still glew and seemed to remain intact in their functionalities.

And so, we discussed the strategy.

It was pretty simple for me:

1) Aim the petrify conal away from the group and aim them on the Renaults.

2) Evade glowing ground stuff damage.

3) Heal everyone through the add phases and try not to have Medica 2 active to prevent hate.

4) Heal everyone.

5) Don’t die.

And so, it all began.

The first attempt was really smooth.

We ran in, attacked the Medusa and 3 people receoved the stone debuff, meaning, we would spit out a petrifying conal move when it wore off.

Extremely convinced the debuff was not on me, I faced the tanks and dps and proceeded to heal.

That was when suddenly – like 10 seconds into the fight – a conal area formed in front of me, petrifying everyone in it. Which was like half the group.

Did I forget to mention, when you’re petrified and get hit by anything, you instantly die?

Yeah, you do.

It was a great and embarassing start. Now, it could only get better.

And it did!

We managed the mechanics really well.

(Please ignore all the dead bodies in the screenshots. They were just pretending to be dead to confuse the enemies!)

No problem.

I got this.

As we totally rocked the place (stoned -> rocked, get it? lololol), I also had the honor to tank several enemies at once!

This doesn’t happen very often.

Failing to defeat Medusa repeatedly lead us to our last resort.

We had to summon the true powers of Vis.

As Vis obtained his true powers, he proceeded to dance and tried to become friends with Medusa.

His powers were completely useless to this fight as Medusa just laughed and slayed him.

As we left the battlefield in order to postpone the fight to another day, we met the other Coil Static.

Happily, I welcomed everyone.

So many expert highlevel elite adventurers around me!

And they didn’t seem to mind little Riiko being among them.

Did… did I finally grow up?!!

Happy with the result of the day, I had learned a lot about me and about my expert friends who always seemed more pro than they really are.
