Weekly Final Fantasy XIV Masked Carnivale bonus challenges guide (June 7)

gamepur.com:

The Masked Carnivale is a set of fun solo boss challenges for the Blue Mage limited job in Final Fantasy XIV. Every week, there are three targets of varying difficulties assigned to different fights that award Poetic Tomestones, gil, and a ton of Allied Seals when completed. Allied Seals can be used to purchase Aetheryte Tickets from your Grand Company, and so this is one of the best methods of obtaining free teleport tickets each week. This handy guide will tell you exactly how to alter your strategies each week to complete the targets with little stress or confusion.

Note – Weekly Targets reset every Tuesday at 12:00 am PT.

All fights will utilize DPS Aetheric Mimicry unless otherwise stated.

This is an extremely simple gimmick fight that requires Sticky Tongue and any ranged spell. Ice Sprites do a lot of damage, and so you must use the slimes to kill them.

Act 1 – Keep your distance from the Lava Slime and cast any ranged damage spell on it. It will explode and kill the Ice Sprites.

Act 2 – Use Sticky Tongue to bring each Lava Slime to the outside of the nearest crate within line-of-sight of the Ice Sprite. Once its in position, get to a safe distance and used a ranged spell on it. It will explode and kill the Ice Sprite. Do this for all four targets.

Act 3 – Getting in range of the Gladiatorial Nodes will cause them to cast a deadly explosion that will kill you if you are not behind the wall. The goal here is to run near the Node just as it starts its cast while using Sticky Tongue to bring a Slime in range, and then hide behind a wall until the cast goes off. Do this for all three Slimes on a side
