Alexander - The Cuff of the Son (Savage)
Alexander - The Cuff of the Son (Savage) or A6S is the second section of Alexander: Midas (Savage).
Strategy
Blaster
1. Brute Force - A tank buster that applies a magic down de-buff on the MT (so OT has to get blue mines with a cooldown(s)).
2. Mind Blast - Must be silenced (BRD/MNK/PLD/SCH).
3. Mines (Red/Blue) - Stay away from Red, and OT get the Blue ones with a cooldown(s) (mines will do a knockback).
4. Mirages #1 - Dropping them in a line usually works best from what I've seen in most guides (they do splash damage when they drop, don't stack).
5. ADDs - Five mirages will start casting mind blast in the middle, all 5 adds must be destroyed.
6. DropDown On Tank - Be sure to keep away from the MT (Silencer get ready cause next move is mind blast).
7. Mind Blast - Must be silenced (BRD/MNK/PLD/SCH).
8. Brute Force - A tank buster that applies a magic down de-buff on the MT.
9. Mines (Red/Blue) - Stay away from Red, and OT get the Blue ones with a cooldown(s).
10. Brute Force - A tank buster that applies a magic down de-buff on the MT.
11. Mirages #2 - If the tethered to you mirage has its hands up look away from it, and if the tethered to you mirage has its hands down look towards it.
- Extra: will repeat past step 11 until dead.
Brawler
Extra: The Blaster MT cannot tank Brawler to start because of the brute force stacks, and tank swap around 2-3 stacks w/e work for your group.
Single Laser - Tank must eat alone with cooldown(s).
Double Laser - This must be shared with the party.
Single Drill - Does damage to a random player based on proximity to the boss.
Double Drill - Dose damage to the farthest and closest two players to the boss.
Steam Chakrams - Avoid these at all times (paralyze+damage).
ADDS (Pink Orbs/Green Orbs/Big Orbs)
- Pink Alpha Orbs - Must be DPS'd down to 0% (if needed they can also be stunned and slowed).
- Green Gamma Orbs - These do high splash damage and should be popped by tanks.
- Big Beta Orbs - One should be stunned and slowed to delay it's movement to the middle.
- Wave Patter - 2xPink+2xGreen / 2xPink+1xGreen+2xBig / 2xPink+1xGreen / 3xPink+1xGreen .
Swindler
Height De-Buff - Red = High, Purple = Low
Stacking Circles - In savage mode two circles will spawn and stacking the wrong number of players will most likely equal death (one will target a healer and the other will target a tank).
Bio-Arithmeticks - AoE Damage (Shields+Heals).
ADDS #1
- 1. Hardmine and Hardhelm Gobs should be stunned (or they'll buff the boss & all the nearby enemies).
- 2. OT should be grabbing the gobwalker (or MT might get stack you don't want him to have).
- 3. And now either you want to caster LB3 all the adds, or pull the boss away and have DPS take them down with AoE's (reason boss is pulled away is because of the green buff he'll put out (that you don't want touching the add), and the only reason LB3 wouldn't be used here is that's it's being saved for next mini boss fight).
ADDS #2 - Four Sniper Goblins will spawn, this is simply a DPS check (North,East,South,West).
- Extra: not sure yet.
Vortexer
- Extra: not sure yet.

Lore
Sometimes even the most thrilling tale can benefit from slight embellishment, and the wandering minstrel's reimagining of your foray into Midas─while stretching the bounds of believability─proves to be even more invigorating than your memory of it. A memory you must relive in order to compare...
