Taking part in the Nexon PEAK Post Challenge

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

While playing Mabinogi Mobile,

I still vividly remember how amazing that feeling of accomplishment was when we finally brought down the boss in the Tabartas raid.

Now my combat power has gone up a ton, so these days I can usually clear Tabartas with my eyes closed(?) ㅎㅎ

But when the Tabartas raid first came out, every single run really felt like a full-on war.

Especially the 'Crush' pattern... I seriously still can't forget it.

Maybe because I went through so much back then,

even now, whenever I run the Tabartas raid, all those memories come flooding back ㅠㅠㅎㅎ

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

When it first showed up, Tabartas really felt like an impossible wall!

When it was first released, of course there weren't any real guides yet, and nobody was used to the patterns either.

There was one cursed pattern in particular that threw players straight into despair... the infamous 'Crush' ㅠㅠ

One person dropping, then two, was basically standard, and before we knew it the whole party window was turning gray.

"So... this run isn't happening either..."

I remember saying that so many times. 

There was even a revive limit, so once people started lying there, clearing the raid got really hard right away.

I also remember getting more and more worn out as the failed attempts kept stacking up ㅠㅠ

Strategy meeting on the raid ship before heading out! It stuck with me even more because I was a Cryomancer!

After a few failed runs, everyone naturally started grouping up.

"I'll take the first one."

"I'll go in for the second."

We'd set the Crush order one by one like that, then head out.

But my class was the tank, Cryomancer, so if you played it right, you could actually take 'Crush' multiple times.

At first I messed it up and died a bunch of times too..

But little by little I got the hang of it, and when I finally managed to tank Crush more than three times, the rush was unreal!

I still remember how everyone would get excited for me in chat whenever I managed to hold on safely ㅎㅎ

That was when I really felt that in raids, trusting each other and dividing up roles matters even more than just playing well on your own.

It's easier now, but the memories are still the same~

Now my gear is better and my combat power has gone up a lot, so I usually clear Tabartas pretty fast.

I almost never have to spend hours wiping on it like before anymore,

but maybe because of that, the memory of that first clear feels even more special.

The fact that a boss that once felt that hard has now become familiar

kind of feels like proof that my character has grown, and it makes me weirdly proud.

Now I can clear it comfortably, but because of those memories of struggling through it together with my party members back then, Tabartas ended up becoming the most unforgettable raid for me.
