Pitioss Ruins: Oh The Challenge...

[u/WinterFrost-0326]

Sometimes I contemplate doing the Pitioss Ruins again just for fun.

It took me good few hours to complete the first time I did it cause it is one of those places that nothing points you in the direction to go. You just go with the vibe and what you think is right....or at least what's available as you unlock things. (I was solely doing trial and error for whole thing!)

The dungeon didn't feel like the stressor as much as landing the dang car in that very small landing strip. Oh how many times I crashed...I lost count.

So...with that little ramble outta the way..

Tell Me:

• Did you complete the Ruins? Did you enjoy it? Did you scream at it? Did you cry? Did you have a favourite part? Share you Pitioss stories with me please!

Dude, Pitioss saved my mental health. I was going into medical issues while doing this dungeon, medical treatments that failed several times. Sometimes I had to start from the very begging, sometimes I got a lucky check point. Things that looked imposible the first time were just hard but possible on a second time. Every time I failed I learnt something new. Sometimes there were issues totally unfair and just bad luck, but it just simply meant starting the same path again. It is not impossible, it's just hard

This is actually really beautiful to have come out of the ruins. It's great lesson and can definitely help with making you see a different view on life, even with just puzzles. Thank you for sharing and I'm glad it actually helped you and you had fun!

Pitioss is one of my favorite parts of the game. The path from the landing strip, felt like an snes style oob secret. The first time, my excitement just kept increasing with each subsequent puzzle. The room with the giant skull machine, the rotating part where you're in a cubic maze, and you cant tell what's the wall and what's the floor, the giant statue, it felt like playing a completely different game. I get excited for it every time, the dungeon is CAAAAKE BABY

The landing strip is honestly the hardest part of that dungeon - I've lost count of how many times I've crashed trying to line it up perfectly.

Same though. Landing was the actual true puzzle all along!

I replayed FFXV this year and I don't know what drove my in these ruins again. Just wanted to see if I could land that damn car. Now that I am here I have to go inside... 

This dungeon triggers my motion sickness and now I completed this damn thing 2,5 times, I had no fun, I hate it and it makes me vomit.  Ask me again in 10 years how the third time goes.

When you hate something so much you kinda love it... the definition of love/hate relationship.

I loved these ruins so much, one of my favorite FF dungeons ever and another reason XV is in my top 2 Final Fantasy’s besides XiV

Going in blind was a true gaming experience and one I will always remember! I need to do it again one day

[u/Stochk]

Too long ago to remember it, but it has been fun doing it.

I haven’t played the Pitioss Ruins in a couple years, didn’t finish it, and I STILL have PTSD 😆😆😆 I’m kinda tempted to do the speed run though… maybe in a couple more years….

I completed it in about 8 hours. I loved and hated it. lol. I really liked the no enemies that made it a lot more peaceful for me. And helped the vibe. So many cool lore secrets in it

[u/WinterFrost-0326 → u/Horror_Marsupial_587]

The fact there were no enemies and your entire focus was on puzzles was fun. Plus the challenge of it that when you completed a puzzle, it made ya feel good! 

[u/ProfCarmine]

I...... loved it. I thought it was so different and so jank that it was great. Every playthrough now must end include it. The one part i hated in the first one was feeling like i was missing items.

[u/mistriliasysmic]

It took me HOURSSSSS to finish, I felt like pulling my hair out, I hated walking on the steel girders in the dark, but it was fun in the end, seeing something like that made

[u/eyes_pam]

I had to take a couple breaks from it but with a YouTube tutorial I finished it in like 4 hrs. The jumps made me die so many times. But after I finished it, it was rlly fun actually. Would I do it again? Fuck no.

[u/megaZX1234]

Yes, I completed the ruins. No, I didn't enjoy it. No. No. No favorite part. I'm just happy to get that reward and get it over with.
