@@thefilthygamer3427 Finished it in a few hours, but my god, this was the worlds most terrible dungeon. I hated it, but somehow i also loved it. If only they would have added a save function and added a more indepth story line into this dungeon
took me aslong to land the stupid flying piece of garbage as the entire dungeon, that says alot.. the ap system and car and 8 secret dungeons not this one made me cut my stars from 5/10 to 2/10 also only having 1 skill in the entire game doesn't help.. Blink strike and nothing.. beat all game on normal.. nothing was a challenge but that stupid car.. but alot of buggy and boring stuff that takes years, like no item dungeon, the story where u can only use ring of bs most of the time etc :D.. And the spell system what a complete joke.. as the summons, I always get ramuh like 99%.. some of them in 120+ hours I haven't even seen once..(unless story). Also some monster run out of fight zone and ur just kinda screwed.. can also take forever before ur allowed to battle doods just stand there glitching like fuck.. And why for the love of god make the game so u have to kill all the weakest enemies to get stronger.. or even make it so even the noobest of noobs get absurd strong early weapon or lvl 99 before the game even begins... not like u need all the ap anyways since 90% of all skills do absolutely nothing anyways :)
lol yea i realised after sometime that all you need is to keep that f-plane low and land on the stripe. Once it touches the floor it wouldn't explore even if you crash it.
Imagine after all the pain and suffering, you've reached the top, saw the light and the reward is within your graps at the edge, you accidentally sprint out of excitment and fell back to starting line
Vengeful Fresh happened to me too. Turns out if you are standing facing the dungeon entrance you turn around and go though the first short cut you opened, up the slope and there is a little platform that leads to and ledge. Jump there (easy) and you will go though the last short cut you opened.
I was actually thinking that was the only explanation for how, with how rushed several parts of the game was, something this huge and elaborate could come about. But let's be honest, the level designers probably only spent a year and a half building this God of War killer; Tetsuya Nomura only has one person work on his games at a time. When one finishes one part, the next guy gets started.
suraj patel you think that sucks? Check that out: Me: finish the dungeon hooray! Noctis: take Regalia and crash somewhere. Me:Fuck I forgot to save that last part!
@@drudag1515 OOF. That had to suck. Extra tip- when you finish the dungeon, fast travel to the place you last rested to avoid the chance of you crashing the regalia somewhere and having a game over. Then have Cidney tow the car to you.
Did anybody else find that, although this dungeon is extremely creative and intricately designed, you just stop having fun playing it past a certain point?
Ninth Eclipse I agree while it looks great and was a nice change of pace at first, it quickly outstayed it's welcome. The fact you can't save and come back later was a stupid decision, the game pretty much held me hostage until i was done.
All of them negative except when you finally got the sh** you wanted I assume xD I was like "yeah I'm gonna do this" and watched another walkthrough... Should have watched the whole thing because it just got worse and worse and then I finally completed it and was like "Yes!!!"... "Never gonna do this EVER again!"
This dungeon was incredibly frustrating and absolutely brilliant. I never want to do it again, but I am so glad I went through it once. It was so satisfying to beat!
it's the worst, it took me 5 hours even with a guide. It's almost forgivable because it's optional, but could you imagine if this was a main story dungeon I think I would have broke my controller.
I actually adored it! I think people would hate it less if it allowed you to save your game at certain checkpoints. I had no idea I would be committing to a four hour dungeon when I started.
This is much harder. The chocobo races are kind of easy-ish. To me at least. For me, my least favourite bit is the bit right after the giant skull spike thing, where everything is tilted 45 degrees. Also, how the heck do you open the shortcut right there?
Omfg. I saw the length of the video was 45min, so I was like oh that's not that bad.. that was yesterday.. took several hours to tackle it piece by piece, didn't realize I was going to be pausing the video every minute or two for hours at a time failing the same jumps over and over and over. Finally.. done.
"oh you want to sneak? let me make a roll lol" "oh, you want to turn around without moving? Fuck it, im gonna take an extra step just to make sure i fall off"
at this point they really have the intention to make it that way. i won't be suprised if the next update they will raise the sensitivity of the movement control for that dungeon
I agree a lot of people will never find this place. A lot more will find it and give up. A lot more will finish it and be disappointed in the gear after. I defiantly see how designing something this sadistic could take 4 or 5 months but why not put that's effort and creativity into the main game?
I think they were like shyt no time to finish tanabrae. Then some random fcker appear say hey i got a dungeon why not use this instead. POOF!! we have this hell
Thank you so much for this video. Just got my black hood and I would never have done it without a guide. I wonder how many people will enjoy this kind of dungeon, for me it was close to torture and no fun after 1 hour in.
All that work and frustration with this dungeon only to find out that the Black Hood was in reach from the outside had Gladio just given me a damn piggy back ride. The only reason why this was so challenging was because of the terrible controls and the camera.
I had watch a live stream of this dungeon it took 3 hours for the guy to clear it lol i Had to get a youtube guide cuz there was no way i was doing this blind. took me like 1hour ish with this guide.
After 4 1/2 hours (without a guide), I finally beat it. I have to say, it was painful at times, but certainly one of the most interesting and well crafted levels in my video game history. A true labyrinth.
Tips: *Keep your sanity!* Take breaks where difficulty to navigate platforms prove too difficult. *Break the faces* Red barriers become shortcuts when the faces behind them are broken. So smash away! *Pitio in slow-mo* This labyrinth isn't a race against time, especially if for those that have not completed it. Take your time and experience hell. The dungeon can be completed without ever having to sprint once. *Black Hood is worth it* There isn't an excuse to not have the best gear*
Black hood is one of the worst accessories in the game, you should only get it if you’re bad at the game and can’t seem to dodge opponents for your life.
I disagree the black hood is not worth all the hell it is to go through that just to find it and I think the dungeon has glitches in it as well it doesn't help
@@lennymosca9099 Haha, you’re probably right now, but it was a great piece of gear when that comment was as written. There has probably been a lot of updates and changes
bless you... I cannot thank you enough... even after following this guide, pausing for like every 15 seconds, it still took me about 8 long hours to beat it... (had to put the PS4 in rest mode for 20 hours in between to resume from mid way as I had to go for work)... probably the most agonizing gaming experience of my life!!!
Devin Ellis at the beginning i was thinking:"oh nice jump n run dungeon"then it was getting longer and longer and then Shiva Statue came and why square enix jumping on them titties
This was a NIGHTMARE, OMG I can't believe I finished it. TYSM for the walkthrough. Protip- if you fall back to the start point, exit and save it!! And remember to do it at night or rest at camp until nightfall and go back
Impus Tredecim I haven't seen it one yet. But let's not speak to soon. Someone will probably uncover it mid 2020 and we'll get flooded with pictures of Seth Rogan picking up chicks with CAKE BABY across the top.... Hmmmm give me a couple minutes and we won't have to wait that long :p
Allowing you to take a break and come back later wouldn't ruin the challenge. In the end by it holding me hostage it soured my opinion on it, it's well designed but i have no intention of ever doing it again.
Word of advice. If you press "attack" while you have a weapon in your hands, you can be moved forward. In order from flinging you furthest to shortest, they are daggers, swords, greatswords. This can be used for extra insurance on some jumps or to cheese stuff. Example: the rotating wheels can be jumped onto using the daggers. Hope this helps
I loved this dungeon so much. I think it took me like 4 to 5 hours to beat it the first time, my wife asked me to do it for her for her game and I did it in half that, but it was still fun.
35:54 You missed the genjii gloves, which were down on the statues belly, it's well hidden so you have to walk over it. Just incase people didn't know.
I like platformers, but this part of the game was absolute hell. Noctis' jump was not designed for tight platforming challenges. I have no idea what the hell they were thinking with this dungeon.
I got half way through the dungeon after spending two hours, then I realized you can cut across it after you jump at an early point in the dungeon and switch between your shield and sword to go further to the other side. From there it takes about 5 minutes or less to complete. Both the long way and the “short-cut” take skill, but the short-cut saves you hours of your time. Black Hood = best item in the game! (In my opinion)
It took me like nine hours to finish this nightmare. xD I like the idea behind this. The people who designed this are very creative. But on the other hand they seem to be very sadistic as well. Every new area was like a hour filled with trial and error. At first I was like "hey, thats actually nice", but after this yellow spinning ball I was like "fuck this". But in the end I can proudly say that I managed to get through the whole thing without warp strikes, saving or any tutorials.
yo some advice, to make your jump shorter. Let off of the left stick sooner and don't press it again, no matter what. You can't change direction in air in this game like you can in any other game with stuff like this. Also if you press it after you let go before you land it automatically makes you do the walk animatoin. That feature not being included alone is what made this so hard for me.
Jesus Feciano 3 tries it took me but before i found out i actually had to jump there instead of another place to the right where i tried going 3-4 times aswell..
Gerard Rosario it took another guide to see what is going on. It's weird. Don't know if it is on purpose or a bug. But if it is on purpose, the guy who thought it was a good idea needs to be shot! You are not supposed to aim at the horizontal bar, but the vertical one! It's weird I know but after several failures, I jumped at the vertical bar and nailed it the first time!
Am I the only that think it's funny how, back in Crestholm, Noctis walk slowly and carefully on 3 feet large sewer pipe but here he's running like a madman in places that are far more dangerous?
Man, every time I think I've wrapped everything up, I find yet another mission to do, or thing to find, or something else I want to complete. This game is the definition of "heavily backloaded" and I absolutely love it. This was my first FF game, picked up on PSPlus in 2020 for free, and now I'm dying to play every other FF game, open world or linear. I already bought FF7R but I just can't move on from FFXV yet.
Oh wow if only I knew where that was at the time, I went through the entire thing again so I knew where the shortcut had opened up. Now I know but if they had just sped up that part instead of cutting it out completely it would've helped.
You are not alone, I had it to do it twice because I ejected the disc on accident when I went to get the charger for my controller. I got some weird bug where the drive kept ejecting disc over and over and I had to restart the Ps4 >.>
WHY the sudden cut away at 9:28/9? I was following your video up till that point and realized my ball/room wasn't moving...you cut out a major section of turning it on.
Just did it last night. I thought that an hour or two would be enough because your clip was barely an hour. DAMN HOW WRONG WAS I! IT took me all night to finish the damn dungeon! Haha
When I get to the 9:55 mark in the video the thing doesn't rotate like it does, I followed ur video to the letter! All I can think of is I fell trying to do the double pillar jumps right before 9:55, did I mess up if so how to get back on track?
You cut out the part where you make the spinning room spin in the first place... Had to check another vid for that. It's ok if you show a failed jump here or there, what matters to us is the information not your leet skillz.
hey dude right a about 39.30mins that jump go the ledge thing I missed it and its brought me back right to the start. is there any quick way back up im totally lost
BlindedFlash I think a lot of people would be upset if they spent 8 hours in that dungeon and lost the progress. ...And I don't think he has anger issues lol. Nothing he has done really implies that.
BlindedFlash That wasn't all you said, but that's not the point. Maybe it's just because of the people who were around me during my time at school, but saying something like that doesn't strike me as being angry.
This was the highlight of the game for me. The touching story was great, but second to the achievement I felt when I got that black hood after hours of patient persistence.
Please help me! I'm losing my min At 39:00 there's a row of spikes. When I get reset at this point it puts me at the very beginning where the giant cage and first rolling ball are. Can you please tell me how to get back to those spikes from here? I just went through the ENTIRE dungeon again to get back there and failed again... I can't keep doing that... There HAS to be a shortcut. Please help!
I finished the whole thing, what I couldn't figure out was at 9:28 there's the statue blockers on your left and right, no clue what is behind them or how to deactivate those two.
Credit to whoever made this dungeon, It is literally a masterpiece of difficulty. Took me just under 3 hours to beat, honestly thought it was gonna be a 10-20 minute dungeon. How you guys managed it in 45 is beyond me, I kinda wanna hope you edited your footage to show fewer errors
Doing decent with dungeon not mad...yet but that rotating thing where there is spinning thing before 10:10 is stuck in one position and i can just walk through any fix
Try the short-cut. Look for videos on “Pitioss Speed run”. I completed it in about 5 to 10 min because it took a couple of tries. You can cut across it if you time your jump well as you switch between a sword and shield while in the air. If you watch a video you’ll see. The black hood item is worth it. You can dodge or parry perfectly every time even against the strongest enemies.
Nvm figured it out for those of you who are having the issue I just mentioned you have to run around the inside of the giant ball at 9:55 to the other side there will be a switch to initiate the rotation.
I don't know if anyone else knows this but after you exit the dungeon and get to the Regalia, instead of flying out, tow it back to Hammerhead. This saved me so much stress after getting out that place.
Just go through the gap in the sphere, across the central area inside the sphere (past the spiky pillar and the steel ball), jump through the other gap in the sphere and you will land on a stone area. The switch will literally be right in front of you, can't miss it.
Square Enix took a horrible page from Bethesdas book and added platforming in a game that does not have the mechanics/engine to support it well. This guide was thoroughly helpful.(though I only used it for the parts I got stuck on) So glad I never have to step foot back there EVER again
Noctis was gone for 10 years because he was busy wandering the Pitioss Ruins Dungeon

Recker Ray it's not a problem if you hit the shortcut that connect directly to the entrance of the dungeon
Recker Ray believe it or not, that shit fucking happened to me today, and I gave up. I hate this dungeon with a passion
well, in the end you just have to come back down and only do the very last part, which is actually really easy

i just did what the comment says
I was about to cry
This is what happens when level designers get bored while waiting for the rest of the game to be put together for 5+ years.
I was actually thinking that was the only explanation for how, with how rushed several parts of the game was, something this huge and elaborate could come about. But let's be honest, the level designers probably only spent a year and a half building this God of War killer; Tetsuya Nomura only has one person work on his games at a time. When one finishes one part, the next guy gets started.
You mean designer, not designers. The whole dungeon was designed by one guy who was described as having a very unique way of thinking.
Me: Yes I made the jump

Was well designed but not being able to save and come back later is just downright lunacy.
Wise Wolf Well, it fits the essence of being in a dungeon... A arduous task that requires you to see it through or give up. No checkpoints ...
Yes and that would worked years ago but in this day and age it doesn't.
Wise Wolf Saying that is essentially saying "arduous tasks in games should be easy and not challenging at all.."
Allowing you to take a break and come back later wouldn't ruin the challenge.
In the end by it holding me hostage it soured my opinion on it, it's well designed but i have no intention of ever doing it again.
Wise Wolf So when you are given a puzzle, do you see it through until it's completed or do you toss it to the side and say "I'll do it later"?
you just know that they were sooo proud of themselves when they made this dungeon
Even after 2 years, I can still visualize the terror of pitioss just by listening to the soundtrack, That one will hunt me forever in my very dreams.

I like platformers, but this part of the game was absolute hell. Noctis' jump was not designed for tight platforming challenges. I have no idea what the hell they were thinking with this dungeon.
This is not a well designed dungeon in any aspect.
I got half way through the dungeon after spending two hours, then I realized you can cut across it after you jump at an early point in the dungeon and switch between your shield and sword to go further to the other side. From there it takes about 5 minutes or less to complete. Both the long way and the “short-cut” take skill, but the short-cut saves you hours of your time.
Black Hood = best item in the game! (In my opinion)
That moment when final fantasy don't know if it want to be a jrpg, action game, survival-horror, or tomb raider
It took me like nine hours to finish this nightmare. xD
I like the idea behind this. The people who designed this are very creative.
But on the other hand they seem to be very sadistic as well.
Every new area was like a hour filled with trial and error. At first I was like "hey, thats actually nice", but after this yellow spinning ball I was like "fuck this". But in the end I can proudly say that I managed to get through the whole thing without warp strikes, saving or any tutorials.
@37:37 that jump fucking sucked for me, took me like a hour on that jump alone
@mrcliff34 This. So much this.
mrcliff34 I'm there right now,I'm taking a breather but this jump I got once then fell inside the metal box area and am so close to quiting
Hardest fucking part of the entire game.
I fell from the top at 39:30 now all the time I spent on this dungeon was for nothing cause now I gotta start allll over, any help?
37:38 fuck that jump right there.... it took me like 15 tries to make that jump...
Jesus Feciano OML same. I still haven't beaten it to this day. Fuck this dungeon
yo some advice, to make your jump shorter. Let off of the left stick sooner and don't press it again, no matter what. You can't change direction in air in this game like you can in any other game with stuff like this. Also if you press it after you let go before you land it automatically makes you do the walk animatoin. That feature not being included alone is what made this so hard for me.
Jesus Feciano 3 tries it took me but before i found out i actually had to jump there instead of another place to the right where i tried going 3-4 times aswell..
Gerard Rosario it took another guide to see what is going on. It's weird. Don't know if it is on purpose or a bug. But if it is on purpose, the guy who thought it was a good idea needs to be shot! You are not supposed to aim at the horizontal bar, but the vertical one! It's weird I know but after several failures, I jumped at the vertical bar and nailed it the first time!
I legit had to stop playing the dungeon and take a break because of this jump. It's cruel.
Am I the only that think it's funny how, back in Crestholm, Noctis walk slowly and carefully on 3 feet large sewer pipe but here he's running like a madman in places that are far more dangerous?
noct be making me mad just teleport
I don't know how i would have done this dungeon with a walk-through. Thank you for this.
Man, every time I think I've wrapped everything up, I find yet another mission to do, or thing to find, or something else I want to complete. This game is the definition of "heavily backloaded" and I absolutely love it. This was my first FF game, picked up on PSPlus in 2020 for free, and now I'm dying to play every other FF game, open world or linear. I already bought FF7R but I just can't move on from FFXV yet.
this dungeon ripped my soul out of my mortal body and tore it into shreds while square enix devs just laugh and laugh
i fell at the 39:23 mark and it put me back at the very start, is there anyway to get back without having to go through almost the entire thing again?
Nathan Budisalovich that Door that opened
Oh wow if only I knew where that was at the time, I went through the entire thing again so I knew where the shortcut had opened up. Now I know but if they had just sped up that part instead of cutting it out completely it would've helped.
Nathan Budisalovich i felt on same time and back to begin too... how i continue?
Nathan Budisalovich i fell*
Luiz Simões walk through doorway the first boulder was in
This was cake baby!
Cake my ass!! I need five hours to just get blackhood!
The entire time I’m yelling at my tv “double jump, goddamnit!”
Thank you so much for this great guide, that was the only thing that kept me (somewhat) sane..
Got it after 4 hours, this was a huge help!
i spit blood completing this sh1t... one place u never wanna come back to and it's dark and scary
I had to do it twice :(
When I was leaving the area I crashed into the wall. I did it with no guide either...I spent 3hrs in there I think.
You are not alone, I had it to do it twice because I ejected the disc on accident when I went to get the charger for my controller. I got some weird bug where the drive kept ejecting disc over and over and I had to restart the Ps4 >.>
FreakingAngryPirate fucking SAME, I had a mental brakedown
micman963 it's the rubber at the bottom of your console touching the super sensitive eject button. I removed the rubber and it never happen again
WHY the sudden cut away at 9:28/9? I was following your video up till that point and realized my ball/room wasn't moving...you cut out a major section of turning it on.
Just did it last night. I thought that an hour or two would be enough because your clip was barely an hour. DAMN HOW WRONG WAS I! IT took me all night to finish the damn dungeon! Haha
When I get to the 9:55 mark in the video the thing doesn't rotate like it does, I followed ur video to the letter! All I can think of is I fell trying to do the double pillar jumps right before 9:55, did I mess up if so how to get back on track?
I started watching this video because I wanted to see someone struggle with it like I did, but he makes every jump! God, Damn, it!!
Thank you for making this. I FINALLY made it through mostly because of this video so thanks so much. :)
You cut out the part where you make the spinning room spin in the first place... Had to check another vid for that. It's ok if you show a failed jump here or there, what matters to us is the information not your leet skillz.
Thank you so much for this ;-; I cant even count the amount of times that I failed the parkour/jumping sections
hey dude right a about 39.30mins that jump go the ledge thing I missed it and its brought me back right to the start. is there any quick way back up im totally lost
Faisal mERCHANT Yeah go back to that door that opened I did the same
Where exactly is the door? Ive been trying to look for i and couldnt find it. Did you mean by the "red rock" thing?
Faisal mERCHANT same. answer?
Luiz Simões yeah its the door near the rock thing, where the moving platforms are
It's hard but there's a way it's back near the three doors
Awesome walkthrough and detailed. Thanks!
My noct keeps autorunning to his death
Fuck this game I spent like 8 hrs doing this fucking dungeon, just to get in my car and crash into rocks before it auto saved . Great design
I'm not sure what I would do if that happened to me. I'm about two and a half hours into this right now and I'm going crazy.
Edit: It's finally over.
PsyPsyPSYYY Wtf are you on about you couldve manually saved.
BlindedFlash I think a lot of people would be upset if they spent 8 hours in that dungeon and lost the progress.
...And I don't think he has anger issues lol. Nothing he has done really implies that.
BlindedFlash That wasn't all you said, but that's not the point. Maybe it's just because of the people who were around me during my time at school, but saying something like that doesn't strike me as being angry.
LMAO that happened to me man. Since there's no Royal arm in that place to begin with not worth my time lol
This was the highlight of the game for me. The touching story was great, but second to the achievement I felt when I got that black hood after hours of patient persistence.
fuck this place. thought i was playing Final Fantasy, not Uncharted.
Malcolm Fitzpatrick I hate that game and I own them all
Please help me! I'm losing my min At 39:00 there's a row of spikes. When I get reset at this point it puts me at the very beginning where the giant cage and first rolling ball are. Can you please tell me how to get back to those spikes from here? I just went through the ENTIRE dungeon again to get back there and failed again... I can't keep doing that... There HAS to be a shortcut. Please help!
you are supposed to revive at checkpoints, and you also have to destroy the blocks
I really loved this dungeon and the level design, but god damn that rotating room puzzle.
14:40 I can't get to that point somehow. Tried it like 30 times, he's always so close to getting onto the platform. I'm done trying lol
Thank you so much, such a big help but could someone comment a video where they tell you how to break the statues at 9:27
I finished the whole thing, what I couldn't figure out was at 9:28 there's the statue blockers on your left and right, no clue what is behind them or how to deactivate those two.
Fuck that! how did you figure this out. trial and error?
Rafael Inda yep. This dungeon is nothing but trial,error, and unending rage.
Wow, thanks a lot for this. I dont have much time per day to play and this saves me a lot!
theres a cut in the film at 9:30 i cant tell what u did to make the yellow obelisk start pistoning. anyone know?
nvm found it. its behind the obelisk lol
thank you for the walk thru! I give prop to those that beat this stupid hell dungeon!!! You are now ninja master, took me 2hr with this video.....
Is this also a guide on how to collect all the items in this dungeon too? Or is it just to complete it.
Credit to whoever made this dungeon, It is literally a masterpiece of difficulty. Took me just under 3 hours to beat, honestly thought it was gonna be a 10-20 minute dungeon. How you guys managed it in 45 is beyond me, I kinda wanna hope you edited your footage to show fewer errors
Took me like 4 hours so worth it ur a beast for 44 mins
Doing decent with dungeon not mad...yet but that rotating thing where there is spinning thing before 10:10 is stuck in one position and i can just walk through any fix
thank you so much! this guide was a lifesaver!
this place was a pain in the ass. took me near 6 hours to beat this damn dungeon. Now i need a nap.
If you were a perfectionist I can see why. I'm at level 90+ with all my characters. Might give it a try. But first gotta get Adamontoise.
Try the short-cut. Look for videos on “Pitioss Speed run”. I completed it in about 5 to 10 min because it took a couple of tries. You can cut across it if you time your jump well as you switch between a sword and shield while in the air. If you watch a video you’ll see.
The black hood item is worth it. You can dodge or parry perfectly every time even against the strongest enemies.
Thank you so much. Best guide around. Good job.
Nvm figured it out for those of you who are having the issue I just mentioned you have to run around the inside of the giant ball at 9:55 to the other side there will be a switch to initiate the rotation.
I don't know if anyone else knows this but after you exit the dungeon and get to the Regalia, instead of flying out, tow it back to Hammerhead. This saved me so much stress after getting out that place.
What step did you edit out around 9:30 to make the sphere rotate?
NM was a switch in the back
Just go through the gap in the sphere, across the central area inside the sphere (past the spiky pillar and the steel ball), jump through the other gap in the sphere and you will land on a stone area. The switch will literally be right in front of you, can't miss it.
You dont need the quest to be able to get the black hood right?
No. Just a lot of patience
Square Enix took a horrible page from Bethesdas book and added platforming in a game that does not have the mechanics/engine to support it well.
This guide was thoroughly helpful.(though I only used it for the parts I got stuck on) So glad I never have to step foot back there EVER again
Anyone have any idea who voices Vasper at 0:48? He sounds so familiar.
