    Personally I'm curious about the following thing related to the Ultimate Dragonsong:
    Apparently Haurchefant is there? And there's an open question of if he's actually possible to save, and, if you somehow manage it, what happens if you do?

    Yeah, I can't help but feel that he has some greater purpose in the raid. Like, maybe you can't survive the final phase if you didn't save him in P1.

    I'd imagine that's why there's a checkpoint right after P1, so once you save him you can safely proceed with the rest of the raid.

    If there's something to saving him it's later in the fight, people have thrown everything at the wall already more or less

    It's very unlikely that there's a way to save him in P1. A lot of people have already beat their heads against that puzzle and it simply isn't likely.

    There's still a lot of fight left.

    I can't imagine SE would allow you to have a checkpoint from which it's impossible to clear the fight. People are being really silly about this imo.

    My current theory is that they got a lot of feedback about the first phase of an Ultimate being much easier than subsequent phases, and the least fun part of progression on a fight that's entirely meant to be an endurance challenge is having to redo the most mind-numbing part the most.

    Also there are probably people who don't want to see Haurchefant die a thousand times. They're wrong, but I'm sure they exist.

    I don't remember what the exact term is called but, that thing that happens while you're driving where you're literally on auto-pilot and then become lucid like 'I literally have no recollection of driving the past X miles.'? That was me on Living Liquid.

    Level a DoL.

    tbh it's best to kinda level all that stuff at the same time for that very reason.

    Also level up retainers so if you need some obscure drop you can just send one out to grab it for you.
