The guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d8LB0s2lhZOq9c2RvwBJLuuvroSZIJL13LzQfgzYxl0/edit?usp=sharing
I'm a big fan of going through old content via the 'undersized party' option. There's a lot of potentially really cool glam pieces tucked away behind some of these old fights, and of course a lot of them drop a cool mount too. Some drop expensive items too - Shinryu's scale, an EX drop, is still selling for 1million gil apiece on my server! Queueing up for them is next to impossible nowadays (and please don't, for the sake of mentors everywhere...), but I've found party finders for all of these old fights to fill up really quickly even on weekdays.
There's a lot of guides out there for the synced versions of all these old extremes, but there's really not many guides out there specifically for doing them with an undersized party, so I'm aiming to fill that niche.
Now, maybe the reason nobody's ever bothered to make a guide like this is because they're easy enough now that you can stumble through them and eventually get a clear. You probably don't need a guide to be able to solo Garuda EX as a level 80, you can just fumble until you clear. But hey, forewarned is forearmed!
This guide currently covers every extreme trial, as well as all of the coils of bahamut (except second coil savage), and A2S, A3S, A4S, A6S and A8S. The rest of the alexander savage raids are on my radar, and I'd like to work on clearing the savage Omega raids unsynced at some stage too.
I appreciate a text guide may not be valuable to everyone, and that there is a reason video guides are well-loved. I do tend to drone on a bit too (can you tell?) but I hope this guide proves valuable to at least someone who wants to start building up their mount collection.
Share this with your friends, your FC (or your party finder group), get a group together for Thursday raid night, and see how long it takes you all to get bored to tears of farming Bismarck EX for his damn bird!
