A couple more things I can definitively say:

1. If you can't clear AQ4, it's unlikely you'll be able to clear the entirety of this GO. However,
2. If what I understand from the phrasing of the missions are correct, you'll clear mission requirements for completing stages 1, 2 and 3 respectively, so even if you can't touch the final boss, you should at least be able to grab yourself some orichalcum by completing the first 3 stages.
3. For those who can't OMEGALUL burst down the boss instantly, do not do your full burst at the start of the battle. Treat the boss like you would fire or water rag: push them close to rage with normal attacks, poke them into rage with a low dmg ability, unload your heavy nukes and full burst.

i followed your advice

made some mistakes here and there (like the mistake of using a full burst on the 2nd wave i think, but at least i know what to do next round)
and if pluto didnt die so early, i think i couldve won this tbh (if she was still alive and had 9 lego stacks + pluto buffs I think I could've pushed her to stun phase)
oh welp better luck next time I guess

and yeah im using my dark team because my water team sucks

My water team is pretty strong, and I have Rudra with me. But, I just came out on the other side, with Herc the last one standing.

Argh... I went through four stages without a loss and was doing quite well on the boss (Tiamat for me plus friend's Rudra), but I may have gotten little too hasty with using damaging skills - I burst her down right after she became enraged, but as it turned out I fell short 1 or 2 offense skills from stunning her... And her trigger attack really hurt Around 10 % of HP left hurt too xD
Then again I suppose it was a mistake on my part to not level up Defender weapon as much as I did with assault ones... Still looking forward to following days. While hard, it's certainly doable, even for non-whale players imo.

BTW, for those who didn't know (Including me before thinking: Ah what the hell? I probably won't get through it so I may as well experiment ) - while Kamihime's individual burst attacks are single target, the Full Burst deals damage to all enemies on the field (For me it really helped on stage four.)

Skipping this one, my water is hot trash.

So I decided that I will keep myself from spoilers for GO & give it a shot completely blind. The date wasn't the best coz I'm on vacation, so wasn't recorded on my PC & meh connection resulting in horrible sound & some lags. But here you go, enjoy my "I don't even know what I'm doing" video.

they never said i had to use water.... so imma try and throw light at it... i JUST got god kaiser, said screw it and threw my break limit item at her, and got her leveled up...

my other teams aside from maybe when i can use wind have NO CHANCE IN HELL of even attempting these... we'll see how it goes.... even though my light team getting butt fucked seems imminent....

oh, and i did suggest, if you can't handle the catastrophe raids (preferably solo them), then you're probably screwed trying to kill a GO boss...

Yikes... I realise that still isn't enough information to go around cause the trash stages can hit so hard... Sorry

->Open Spoiler<-

1. Don't worry if you can't clear all 5 stages of GO. The missions you can clear are simply challenging the order, and being able to clear stages 1-4, which will net you 1 orichalcum.
2. To clear GO reliably, a good gauge is when you're able to clear AQ4 without issue and without a 100% eidolon. Without issue is important here, as GO is pretty much harder than AQ4 at this point.
3. The trash mobs here are about as strong as AQ4 trash, but with a bit more lethality in their skills. Manage your skills properly so you don't go into the next stage with your skills out of cooldown, but make sure you don't get killed either.
4. Trash mob priority is
a. Stage 1
Upper, Lower, Middle
b. Stage 2
Middle, Upper, Lower
c. Stage 4
Middle, Upper, Lower
5. Boss strategy:
Debuffs work here. If you can one shot the boss, you don't need to read this. I assume you can't. Firstly, note that in week 2 you must clear this in 15 turns as a mission requirement.

The standard treatment of this boss is to land your debuff skills and soft hit the boss with normal attacks till she's almost at rage. DO NOT push her into rage with normal attacks yet. Poke her with a skill with enough damage to push her into raging, then unload all your nuke skills and your full burst. If using Hercules PF, make sure you use PF one or 2 turns before this phase.

Hopefully you should kill her, because her rage trigger is a HUGE AoE dmg that some of you guys have eaten already. If you follow everything, the boss should be dead, or almost dead and stunned, and you can clean up with your barely surviving team, or with your 2 backup girls.

A snip from what extra information I've gleaned from the DMM wiki and threw in my union discord channel.

I should make special mention that you should handle the trash mobs in GO like you would AQ4 trash: control your damage so you don't end up killing before your skill cooldowns recharge. And never full burst any trash mob ever.

i assume by stage 3, u meant the round 4 mobs? cuz round 3 is just that big gorgon girl
and I did treat this GO as I would an AQ4 run (thankfully my dark team can handle all elements without problem, but yeah GO is a different matter I suppose) and only pushed the boss with normal attacks till raging but it wasn't enough because pluto was downed too early. I only misjudged the HP of the 2nd mobs.. thought they had more HP and would survive a full burst but apparently not.. guess I should just kill these with abilities and party attacks, then do a full burst on the big gorgon girl since thats where it ate most of my potion drops and killed my 1st sub member as well I think

One strategy I thought of to make sure I survive that rage trigger is to just bring an aqua kaiser + pluto's damage cut and my team's defensive skills and I think I might be fine.. I would be left half alive or something at the very least, and if I'm lucky enough to still have potions that would more than raise my chances of victory higher in this GO

Plus Joan.

Trash has about the same HP as AQ4 mobs, according to DMM wiki and well... I observe. You should be able to kill them with minimal ability use and just debuff actually.

Also, yeah I was referring to stage 4. Fixed, thanks.

yeah I'll keep that in mind next time for future GOs, that was probably my most stupid mistake yesterday lol
Hmm I dunno about bringing Joan though... I kinda need the BP skill for the boss, but if I lose again I might consider it...

and about that mission that needs to clear this in 15 turns... I doubt I can do that and I'm sure elemental advantage is required for that
but I guess that's fine, as long as I can get some orichalcon at least
