Mist of Tirna Scithe maze. The definitive trick!

Light bless you ladies and gentlemen! Prepare your eyes for a long long post xD

So I saw a lot of concern about the Kokiri Lost Woods… I mean, The Maze!
So, firstly, I’ll explain how it works and then my tricks to do it

You need to find the odd one of the 4 signs, being the characteristics:
-Circled or uncircled
-Filled or empty
-Flower or leaf

Out of the three (but actually 6) characteristics, only one sign will have it exclusively! A sign that is the only one with that characteristic
For example:
-The only sign that is empty
-The only sign that is a flower
-The only sign that is uncircled

Allright, let’s start with my first trick:

Your group need to be near the pillars, so everyone can see the 4 signs
-A simple way is to just follow an order. In my case, the order is:
Circled/uncircled -> Filled/empty -> Leaf/Flower

So, We following a clockwise order starting from the entrance. In this example We are seeing:
–Circled… circled… uncircled… uncircled --> So, two of both characteristics, no one exclusive, let’s jump to the next
–Filled… empty… empty… filled --> The same, 2 of each, next please
–Flower… leaf… leaf… leaf!

We got it! the correct answer is the Flower!! There’s only one!

If lucky it can be done in just one row. Example:

–Circled… uncircled… uncircled… uncircled!
Here You do not need to see the other characteristics, the correct will be the circled one! Hurray!

Ok, We now know how to do it and We’ll not feel anymore like a monkey with a gun.

BUT!!! This is my second trick:
While the group is fighting, the healer (or any ranged, whatever) Will be seeing the signs, in a clockwise order, and will put the characteristics with the initial letters. Let’s see

The first one, is an U ncircled F illed F lower. She/He will put in chat: U F F
The second one, is an U ncircled E mpty L eaf, so, U E L
Third one, is a C ircled F illed F lower, so, C F F
And the last one, a C ircled F illed L eaf, so, C F L

So, in the chat We will see:
[healer]: U F F
[healer]: U E L
[healer]: C F F
[healer]: C F L

Then, we just need to read in columns, Hmmm, like japanese reading : P
The first column:
U
U
C
C
Ok, 2 Us and 2 Cs, nothing to see here

Second column:
F
E
F
F
Oh! just one E! the correct answer then will be the 2nd!! We got it.

To make it clear, let’s see the third column anyways:
F
L
F
L
Same as the first one, 2 of each, nothing to see here

And that’s it folks! As it is written in the chat it’ll be easier to see and “debate”:

[Holyboi]: C F F
[Holyboi]: U F L
[Holyboi]: C E L
[Holyboi]: U F F
[Gandelf]: 3!
[Bjarno]: Aye, the third door
[Lègøläs]: Yep! 3rd door

Hope it helped forum!

P.S. Apologies for my english by the way. I’m not native

Without any addon/wa, probably the easiest way is to have a healer ( that during tyra week has easy time in maze unless its like 13 or something key, and then still) or hunter, to run them all check sings and do it alone, and then simply open door as soon as fight is over.

Also, once u have done 5 packs( iirc its 5, that mini boss counts too) the correct way is always one going to boss room. But carefull, if y have done only like 2 packs, u might be near, but u need to kill more so its never the one leading to boss in this situation

Kinda agree, like addons that makes your UI better for you, or stuff like move anything, where u can literaly move or remove anything you want, those are fine.

Then you have all kinds of WAs, DBM, big/little wigs, i dont even know what else, that literaly tells you what to do. But honestly, there is sometimes so much going on that u need it, and thats the problem, in classic u had " kick that dodge that dont stand in this". Now u have tons of strategies, abilities, phases on boses, with all those different difficulties which also change abilities and what not on boss… Heck even trash need tactics, and at this point i have no idea why 90% of those addons arent implemented already ingame.

Aand here you are playing wow :thinking:

The current difficulty has also been designed with the use of addons and weakauras in mind, which the top players will use; and therefore needs to be accounted for when designing a dungeon.

The complexity of dungeons in retail vastly exceed those of vanilla, for example.

I’m not the one screeching about their unrelated pet peeve in a helpful topic.

I think this video tops it :wink:

I quit FFXIV because the dungeons were too boring. The tanks pretty much just went all “hurr, I pull from start of the dungeon to the boss, WHM SPAM HOLY WHEN I GET THERE” and that’s it.

14

I honestly didnt expect people to need video guides to understand how the odd one out works

Thats just the different tank mechanics.

You’d be surprised… I’ve been in many groups when gearing through normal/heroic/normal mythic who are like “HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH WAY TO GO?”. Then a lot of groups where people just run into the doors randomly, if that would happen in m+ I’d probably leave instantly.

People still use timers/dps meters in FFXIV on savage/ultimates. They are just not officially allowed.

They do not.

Anyone who does so is at risk of being banned andf you see no top tier teams that are known to do so.

I have come to agree with a blood elf. Truly end times.

Another trick you can use to get the first ~2 doors is to put a raid marker on the fae at the start when she flees. If you watch closely you can see what path she takes and follow that.

Bruh… just find two doors with 2 matching similarities and the answer door would be the opposite, you don’t even need to check all 4.

One of my favorite youtubers linked a pretty cool video about it.
