The FFXIV Cloud Deck Extreme is the last of the Shadowbringers EX Trials that is fairly easy to complete. It is a fight against the Emerald Weapon and has a chance to drop a mount, as well as a crafting material that can be used to craft an augmented weapon.
The fight is fairly straightforward and should not require too much preparation. The first phase is relatively easy and only has a few mechanics to worry about. The most important is the player-targeted Aoes, which the tank will need to mitigate. There is also a mechanic that causes all players to take damage, which can be avoided by standing in the AoE circles that appear on the ground.
The second phase is where the fight gets a bit more difficult. Emerald Weapon will begin casting various Aoes, which the tank will need to mitigate. There will also be an attack that causes all players to be knocked back and take damage, so it is important to keep spread out and be aware of who is closest to the edge of the arena.
The final phase of the fight requires the party to split up and each group of three must kill one of the Adds before Emerald Weapon is killed. The Adds will cast various Aoes and the tank must mitigate them. When the Adds reach low health, they will become invulnerable and start casting abilities, so it is important to spread out and kill them quickly.
Once Emerald Weapon is killed, it will drop a guaranteed weapon coffer, as well as a random weapon and a chance to drop the Emerald Quiver Trumpet. It can also drop a crafting material that can be used to craft an augmented weapon.
Completing the Cloud Deck EX is a great way to obtain a mount and Some FFXIV GIL, as well as a chance to obtain crafting material for an augmented weapon. With a little practice and an understanding of the mechanics, it is an easy and relatively quick way to obtain these rewards
