Markers

There aren’t any real fixed set of markers used for this fight- this set places markers on the potential poison puddle positions:

ABCD are used for orientation.
1234 are useful when calling out where to move during Ruby Glow 3.

Ruby Glow 5

The way Game 8 chose to resolve Ruby Glow 5 is to assign the MT group to the north-side poison quadrant, and the ST group to the south side poison quadrant.

Once you’ve identified your quadrant, move to the side without the poison crystal (this will always be next to the yellow crystal that will explode).

The four possible outcomes are as follows:

Frequently Asked Questions

[Ruby Glow 5] Some groups refer to a N/W and S/E strat- how is that different?

This refers to a different method of assigning quadrants that some EN groups do. The main difference is what the party pays attention to.

Game8 unfortunately chose the strat that focuses on the poison crystals, which leads to a somewhat counterintuitive case 1/4 of the time.

This strat assigns the light parties based on the yellow crystals instead, which keeps to the "MT group N/W", "ST group S/E" convention.

The problem, of course, is that both methods work out to the same outcome in 3/4 of the cases, but not the last 1/4.
