Edit: I meant to say don't lock anyone out if you can lol. Too often there are wipes because the Tank or someone couldn't wait.

This is Hakke Manor Normal Mode. I went as Tank in the video. This place really isn't so bad and I like it as far as normal mode dungeons go. It just isn't as unique or visually interesting as Brayflox but it has its moments.

Some say these early dungeons don't teach you a whole lot but well..This one does sort of introduce you to making use of your stuns. It's a LOT easier if you stun the Maidservants when they use Dark Mist. You can also stun some of the bosses from using big AoEs too. Just keep in mind on the bosses they eventually build up stun resistance so it won't always work. The Tank also has to be more aware about the mobs here since some of them move so pulling mobs away is advised.

7:45-Manor Claviger. Not hard. Just keep in mind she has a cleave on her melee so don't face her if you're not the tank. She'll use Void Fire II on certain party members, dropping an AoE indicator where it'll be launched at. She also can use Dark Mist, stun it or avoid it.

17:06-Manor Jester and Manor Steward. Focus on the Jester first since he does the damage, the Steward is tanky but when playing Tank you need to keep him aggroed onto you as well. Stun the Steward's AoE or dodge it, just don't get caught in it since he'll drain a bit of your HP and recover if you are.

20:50-Lady Amandine. When the void lanterns light up, the players need to interact with them to turn them off. You can do it as a Tank but it's awkward so it's best if the other three player handle them since if left alone the lanterns will do damage to everyone. Sometimes she will summon Bombs that will aggro onto players trying to put out the lanterns, kill the bombs and make sure they don't self destruct on you. The boss herself uses Void Thunder and Fire. You can dodge some of her attacks just by breaking line of sight with her. She can also be stunned but I mostly saved the stun for when she uses Dark Mist. When she's about to fall she will summon a group of Adds that the Tank must pick up, defeat them and then finish her off. Mage Limit Break is pretty good here if you have it.

Lastly, after beating her she can also drop the Succubus Triple Triad card. I did actually get the drop but due to FC chat's activity I didn't notice lol. I already have it anyhow.

Story is: “Once used by seedseers as a place for spiritual reflection and meditation, Haukke Manor was long frowned upon by the people of Gridania as a symbol of excess. After years of protest, the building was finally sold to a wealthy duskwight by the name of Lady Amandine. While little is known of the Lady, it was said that she was exceptionally vain, and that to maintain her impeccable beauty, she would spare no expense. From facial creams concocted from rare Coerthas honeys to shampoos derived from the milk of exotic phurbles, her daily ritual of beauty treatments escalated until it was rumored she was bathing in the blood of her virgin maidservants. No amount of man-made tinctures, however could hide the hideous scars she eventually suffered during the Calamity, and from that day forth she was forced to turn to a darker solution, signing away her very soul in a final effort to "save face". ”
