Very Difficult
https://youtu.be/MR--zOJdZS0 (Japanese). PLD, WHM, RDM, BRD, COR, MNK. Monk does most of the damage to the Corse Boss. First attempt fails on back to back charms and a Magic Bursted Thundaga III. Second attempt they do not ignore the adds, things go more smoothly.
https://youtu.be/ah5ceTGSFsQ (Japanese). 80 second fight. PLD, WAR, MNK, COR, BRD, RDM. Rolls are Chaos/Samurai. Songs are Triple Minuet and Honor March. Haste 2 to cap attack delay. Holy Circle, Distract III and Sepulcher all used to weaken the Pishogue. Shell Crusher, Tomahawk, Two stacks of Box Step (from two players subbing DNC), Dia III (+Light Shot) used at start to weaken defenses. Tank stands at distances too far for any abilities but Memento Mori to be used. Gravity/Silence not required as the boss spends most of its time readying Memento Mori and trying to cast -ga III spells.
https://youtu.be/EklZ8G8kFmQ (Japanese). Strategy that uses the intended gimmick of surviving Charm+Doom. MNK, RDM (Maxentius + Black Halo sets), BLU, COR, BRD, GEO. Highlights the need for RDM, BLU, and BRD specifically. Party buffs are Diffusion+Barrier Tusk, Honor March + Triple Minuet and Indi-Fury. Nightingale and Troubadour are not used. Once adds pop, they are bound and the Pishogue is brought to the corner. By having everyone (including a Luopan) behind the corse at the activation of a Macabre, charm effects can be limited to one person at a time. Mortal Ray and Cruel Joke from the BLU are used to overwrite the Doom component and wear off immediately without killing the player. The final hurdle to clear is Souleater, which can be removed with Nightingale + Troubadour Finale from the BRD.
