  English version on how to avoid breath attacks of Uroborus once he has lost enough HP. I know there's a lot of foreign videos on this, but I wanted to make an English one that can be found easily.

  Wow, so it actually does have a set pattern. Useful~

  Ooh, pretty handy. I'll keep this for when I do Uroboros. Thanks~

  Also after you go through the first cycle, some of the moves reverse. Such as "K left" and "K right" will switch positions. However switches such as "K right" to "K left" won't exist.

  
  
  Can you please explain this line. I'm not sure what you are try to say here.

  Ah...
  
  During the first round it follows like that but during the 2nd round they switch.
  
  Round 1/Cycle 3: Normal Attack, Normal Attack, K right, O Breath, K left
  Round 2/Cycle 3: Normal Attack, Normal Attack, K left, O Breath, K right
  Round 3/Cycle 3: Normal Attack, Normal Attack, K right, O breath, K left
  
  It pretty much alternates. The only thing that is consistent is O and X breath. The only ones that switch are the K's.

  Man this would have been so useful for me if I'd know about this before I did the Uroboros fight a couple days ago. I had to die a few times before I figured out the pattern.
  
  A couple more things to note. When your fighting this guy for an extended period of time, his fireball attack range seems to increase, making this fight progressively harder the longer you fight him. Also if you don't for whatever reason have a fast mount available, you can get around this limitation by making good use of the charge attack (requires a shield if you're not a giant). Doing this does make it harder to dodge the breath attacks, but it can be done if timed well enough.

  Does no one check Mabidata? They've had a detailed guide about avoiding Uroboros attacks for months.

  I don't check it cuz part of the fun of running missions blind is fuguring out how to outsmart the mobs without getting beat up too much. It makes the game more challenging and more fun for me. Even then though, I usually find out about some small details for content is released, but not so much that it completely spoils it for me. IDK, I guess that's how I like playing most games in general.

  If you did it recently, probably monster AI lag.

  This. An RA and I finished off the heads pretty quickly in about 5 minutes before they could do those pattern-like attacks. This was about 2 months ago.
