FFXIV: How To Defeat Queen Eternal Which Is Last Boss Of Your Last Encounter? - Preparation & Ways

In FFXIV Dawntrail 7.25, a new batch of Relic Weapons, Phantom Weapons, were added to the game. They are level 100 Dawntrail Relics, and they look cool, and have two maxed-out secondary properties, making them much more useful than your EX weapons.

While they may not be the most powerful weapons yet, they will do the job of farming in the wild and will help you get through to the next DLC, and most importantly, who can resist the cool looks of these weapons?

How To Start Phantom Weapons Quest?

To get Phantom Weapons, you need to meet the following conditions:

• Reach player level 100.
• Have the Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic title.
• Complete the Dawntrail main quest.
• Reach Unfamiliar Territory in Occult Crescent questline.

After meeting the above conditions, you can go to Phantom Village (X:6.6, Y:7.1) to start Phantom Weapon quest line.

Step 1

Phantom Weapon is made in two steps. The weapon you can get in the first step is the item level 745 Phantom Weapon Penumbrae. After obtaining this weapon, you will need 3 Arcanite to convert it into the weapon you need.

The first part of the quest that players have to do is Arcane Artistry. Players need to collect 6 types of Demiatma, three of each. It will appear in the following areas:

• Fates in Dawntrail zones
• Occult Crescent: South Horn

Demiatma cannot be exchanged with other players, nor can it be exchanged for FFXIV Gil at merchants, so you can discard the excess Demiatma.

The types of Demiatma offered by South Horn Fates And CEs are as follows:

Azurite Demiatma:

• A Prying Eye
• Rough Waters
• The Golden Guardian
• Crawling Death
• Scourge of the Mind
• The Unbridled

Verdigris Demiatma:

• A Delicate Balance
• Sworn to Soil
• Leading Pots
• Calamity Bound

Malachite Demiatma:

• An Unending Duty
• Flame of Dusk
• Trial by Claw
• From Times Bygone

Realgar Demiatma:

• Brain Drain
• The Winged Terror
• With Extreme Prejudice
• Shark Attack
• Cursed Concern

Caput Mortuum Demiatma:

• Serving Darkness
• Company of Stone
• Eternal Watch
• On the Hunt

Orpiment Demiatma:

• Fatal Allure
• King of the Crescent
• Persistent Pots
• Noise Complaint
• The Black Regiment

Demiatma types that drop randomly in FATE in Dawntrail area:

• Azurite Demiatma: in Urqopacha or the southeast of South Horn
• Verdigirs Demiatma: in Kozama’uka or the southwest of South Horn
• Malachite Demiatma: in the caves of Yak T’el or the west of South Horn
• Realgar Demiatma: in Shaaloani or the northwest beach of South Horn
• Caput Mortuum Demiatma: in Heritage Found or the eastern castle of South Horn
• Orpiment Demiatma: in Living Memory or the central plains of South Horn

Demiatma has a low drop rate, and it is possible that you will have to farm for more than an hour to get one Demiatma. But if you want to get other weapons, you will not need to repeat the first step.

Step 2

After getting enough Demiatma, you can return to Phantom Village to find Ermina and exchange 3 Arcanite with her. Arcanite is not traded with FFXIV Gil, but with Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry.

Each Arcan requires 500 Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry, and if you want to unlock all weapons, you need 31,500 Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry.

Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry is a higher-level currency than Gil. Players can drop it in level 100 dungeons, team instances, trials, and other activities. They can be traded for armor or various potions. Players can carry up to 2,000 Allagan Tomestone of Heliometry at a time.

This means that you can only craft one Phantom weapon at a time, and then you have to farm Tomestone of Heliometry again. So if you plan to unlock all Phantom weapons, it will waste a lot of your time.

Phantom Weapon

Each class has a corresponding Phantom Weapon. Here are all Phantom Weapons:

• Phantom Sword Penumbrae: Paladin
• Phantom Kite Shield Penumbrae: Paladin
• Phantom Knuckles Penumbrae: Monk
• Phantom Bardiche Penumbrae: Warrior
• Phantom Spear Penumbrae: Dragoon
• Phantom Harp Bow Penumbrae: Bard

• Phantom Flat Brush Penumbrae: Pictomancer

Do You Need To Get A Phantom Weapon?

For players who are deeply involved in FFXIV, Phantom Weapons are not very attractive. They are usually considered to be catch-up weapons. If you have just played FFXIV for a short time, or you are a returning player, building a Phantom Weapon can allow you to get various materials and Gil, and close the gap between you and the top players.

After the next expansion is released, they may be obsolete, but they are enough to meet most of your needs, not to mention they have cool light effects. Even if you don’t use them, these weapons have collection value.

Some time ago, Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail released a new Chaotic mode in the original very popular World of Darkness, which allows the entire alliance to fight against the 100-level version of Cloud of Darkness, which appeared in the story of A Realm Reborn. But the battle you experience here will be more difficult than before, because the enemy level has been increased by 50 levels and has added some additional attacks. So just be more vigilant when challenging it and coordinate the whole team. The difficulty of this boss is only at the medium level of the current game content.

If you don’t have such conditions at present, don’t worry too much. This guide will introduce you to how to deal with this terrifying dark cloud from two aspects: pre-battle preparation and combat strategy, so that you can kill it as quickly as possible and get a lot of loot.

Pre-Battle Preparation

You unlock the location of this boss, World of Darkness (Chaotic), after completing the level 100 Dawntrail quest called How the West Was Sung. In addition, you will need to complete the main story in Patch 7.0 and speak to Wandering Minstrel in Tuliyollal (X: 11.2, Y: 14.7) to gain access to the raid where you fight Cloud of Darkness.

Although the developers stated at the time of release that it was technically possible to do this raid with only 12 players, after actual testing by many players, you and a group of 24 players will be the best team to complete this raid, including six tanks, six healers, and 12 DPS. Most importantly, everyone must be at item level 710 or higher, which can be achieved by completing Echoes of Vana’diel raid.

Strategy In Battle

Although Cloud of Darkness is fierce, it does not use any new attacks that have never appeared in FFXIV or Shadowbringers or Endwalker expansion. If you have completed those Savage-level raids before challenging it, it will be very easy to predict the next move of this boss and react more accurately.

However, it should be noted that Cloud of Darkness has a very fast attack speed, even one of the best in the game, and can complete an overwhelming attack on you by performing multiple moves. It is precisely because of this potent combination of attacks that this raid has earned the title of chaotic. So when facing this boss, you need to make sure to spend some FFXIV Gil to make your build very flexible, so that there is a certain possibility of getting through this difficult time.

Another thing to note is that Cloud of Darkness will automatically attack all three tanks first. These attacks are very fierce and will greatly reduce the tanks’ resistance to subsequent damage. So in the three-tank build, you should use Provoke as much as possible to protect your partners, which is also a common ability of tanks in the game. In addition to the bleed damage it can cause to you and your companions, the ability to heal health and use Ensua is also very important to complete the fight.

Main Attacks

Now let’s take a look at what attacks Cloud of Darkness will use in the fight with you and what strategies you should use. When starting the fight, it will use its one hand to split a large area of ​​the current arena and slam the ground in front of it. Like most boss attacks in FFXIV, there is a high-level warning to remind you of what is coming next. So you can dodge by standing under the other arm that is not raised and avoid the melee attack damage it will cause from the front.

Next, Cloud of Darkness will perform two moves at the same time. First, many lasers will spawn from the south and east of the arena. At this time, please turn your camera to find and avoid all lasers. Then a random number of players on your team will be marked with Stillness markers, which have appeared in previous raids. During this time, one of your tank teammates will have 3 tagged Flares, which may help Cloud of Darkness attack you. When they start to attack you, try to stay away from untagged teammates, especially those who can provide ranged DPS, and use defensive cooldowns to mitigate the damage you take.

In addition, Cloud of Darkness also has two different mechanics, pushing outward from the center and pulling inward. If a blue circle appears in the arena, it means that it is now a push-out mechanic, so try to get as close to the circle as possible to avoid being knocked out of the arena. If it is a black circle, it means that it is a pull-in mechanic and you need to move away immediately to avoid being killed immediately. It is best to run to the center to avoid follow-up attacks. When Cloud of Darkness reaches around 70% of health. It will summon three Stygian Shadow clones, one each to the west, south, and east of the arena. If you’ve experienced Eden’s Promise raid in FFXIV Shadowbringers, you’ll notice that these enemies are pretty much the same.

The tank here is just moving around to avoid all the enemies, the off-tank can try to disable them, and the ranged DPS can destroy them as quickly as possible to relieve the tank. Meteor pads will appear at various points around the arena, requiring 3-4 players to stand on them to avoid spreading damage to the raid. Once you’ve done enough damage to the three Stygian Shadow clones, Cloud of Darkness will reset back to its original state. If your team has strong DPS, it’s easy to get this boss down to around 20% health, and with just a few minutes of fighting, you’ll win the raid and earn the Cloud Strife achievement for all players.

The above are the specific methods and strategies for you to defeat Cloud of Darkness in World of Darkness in FFXIV Dawntrail. Although some of this boss’s attacks may seem complicated, in fact, as long as your build is flexible enough, you can completely avoid most of its moves that can cause tremendous damage. I wish you a happy game!

A few weeks ago, Final Fantasy 14 released Patch 7.1, which brought a lot of new content to players. The most exciting thing for players is the expansion of the main quest, which will bring players a lot of fresh exploration experience, such as new bosses and new quest lines.

Among the new exploration content, a new level 100 dungeon called Yuweyawata Field Station Dungeon has become the heart of many players. Not only because this location is related to the story background of Zoraal Ja in the game, but also because it will provide you with the ultimate equipment set such as the new Yuweyawata armor set.

In addition, Yuweyawata Field Station is also a new requirement for you to participate in Duty Roulette: Expert. Because Yuweyawata Field Station Dungeon has so many functions, it is very necessary to understand some of the content in this dungeon in this guide, especially how to fight the bosses in it. Here, you will be introduced to their main attack abilities and what rewards you will get.

1. Lindblum Zaghnal

Lindblum Zaghnal looks like a boar with many horns on his face. He will use the environment around you and his arena to use various ways to deal lightning damage to you. So when you fight this boss, you should combine brute strength and surging lightning tightly together to release their maximum effectiveness.

At the same time, you must always pay attention to Lindblum Zaghnal’s movements in the arena and make defensive moves such as dodging in time, so that you can safely survive this very deadly boss battle. The following are the main attacks used by Lindblum Zaghnal.

Electrical Overload

When it casts this skill, you will see that all the horns on its face begin to glow, and there will be lightning currents between adjacent horns. It should be noted here that the damage caused by this skill cannot be avoided by you and your team, so all you can do here is to use as much defensive ability as possible.

Gore

In this skill, Lindblum Zaghnal will first rush to a certain location in the arena and pierce the wall or ground with his horns. At this time, you should dodge as much as possible to avoid being hit.

When hitting the wall, one chunk will quickly cast a series of linear attacks on you, and then the boss will throw some Caber Toss at you. After the throw is over, the chunk will be thrown into your arena by the boss, and it will then attack linearly again. It is important to avoid those linear attacks as much as possible while you are damaging the boss, otherwise you will die quickly because the boss can also cause a lot of damage to you.

When the boss hits the ground, Raw Electrope will spawn around the arena. When you destroy Raw Electrope, you will see a bar above the arena. After you destroy all of them, the bar will be full and provide you with some damage capabilities. The advice here is to remember to avoid the lightning in the arena.

Lightning Storm

When Lindblum Zaghnal casts this ability, you’ll see bolts of lightning burst from his body, each of which will track your position and deal continuous lightning damage to you. There is a workaround for this ability, however, and that is to stay as far away from the boss as possible, as Lightning Storm has a range requirement.

2. Overseer Kanilokka

Because Overseer Kanilokka is a subordinate of Zoraal Ja, it will use various soul-damaging attacks that are in line with its status, which is very similar to Aulus mal Asina in the level 70 dungeon Ala Mhigo.

For this boss, your character’s flexibility is very important, because you need to dodge Kanilokka’s large amount of damage during Free Spirits quickly. So before you challenge it, you can use more FFXIV Gil to enhance and improve your character properly. Here are the specific attacks of this boss.

Dark Souls

When Overseer Kanilokka casts Dark Souls, it will hit the current target hard. So if you are using a tank job, you can get a little closer to it and let it lock your position. At the same time, you need to use defensive abilities such as Rampart to prevent your health from dropping rapidly.

Free Spirits

This is the most powerful of all Overseer Kanilokka’s attacks, because it will cause inevitable damage to you and your team, and the only thing you can do is to dodge as much as possible. This is especially true for the fast curved attacks that follow.

Phantom Flood

In this skill, Kanilokka will cause large-scale AOE damage to you, but fortunately, only a small area in the center of the arena is safe. So when you see the boss start to cast this skill on you, move to a safe area as soon as possible.

Dark II

This skill is a wave-based attack method. The first wave of attacks forms a group of cone attacks on you in a ring centered on the boss, and the second wave of attacks will appear in the previous safe area. So you need to always pay attention to Kanilokka’s position and move to a safe area on time.

3. Tural Vidraal (also known as Lunipyati)

Tural Vidraal gets its name because it attacks very fiercely, just like the snake Valigarmanda fights in Dawntrail Main Scenario Quest. Like Lindblum Zaghnal, Lunipyati is also very good at using the arena to attack you.

However, the difference is that all of this boss’s attacks are very deadly, and if you make a slight mistake, you are likely to fail the challenge immediately. Here are some of its main attack mechanisms.

Raging Claw

In this skill, it will repeatedly hit everything in front of it - you or the ground. So at this time, go around its back to reduce the potential damage.

Beastly Roar

This is also an unavoidable damage ability. But be careful not to get too close to Lunipyati, but stand at a distance, because the closer you are to the boss, the more damage you will take. But don’t retreat to the edge of the arena, because then a series of rapid eruptions will appear around the arena, which can also cause a lot of damage.

Rewards

After you successfully clear all the bosses and enemies, you can get a lot of Final Fantasy XIV Gil and Yuweyawata set, which is an item level 705, in the treasure chest at the exit. This is a very worthwhile item for players who have just reached level 100 or those who want to use some simple equipment for alternate jobs. In addition, this set uses unique new armor models, which differ completely from the previous equipment sets, so it is also a perfect item for players who like to collect.

The above is the specific method and combat strategy for you to fight those bosses in Yuweyawata Field Station Dungeon. I hope you can easily crack all the boss’ battles with the help of this guide and safely get all the rewards. I wish you a happy game!

There are dozens of new collectibles in the current Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail, including many cute mounts, Minions, and glamour items. You can use these collectibles to show your mastery of the game to too many players, especially those rare mounts.

But some rare mounts are not just for showing off. Powerful mounts like Qeziigural Mount can allow you to obtain numerous rare items and FFXIV Gil in Cenote Ja Ja Gural Treasure Map Dungeon newly added to Dawntrail successfully. But Qeziigural Mount is not so easy to obtain. You need to spend some time and effort on it. This guide will show you how to get this beautiful and practical mount.

How To Get Qeziigural Mount?

To get Qeziigural Mount, you need to take 3 Twilight Gemstones in Final Fantasy 14 to Uah’Shepya at Solution Nine (X:8.6, Y:13.5) to trade. When you are near Uah’Shepya, select Sublime Curiosities on your screen and you will get Qeziigural Horn.

Sounds simple, doesn’t it? But Twilight Gemstones are a very rare drop in Cenote Ja Ja Gural Treasure Map Dungeon. Here I need to remind you that you need to decipher a Final Fantasy 14 Timeworn Br’aaxskin Map and find a marked treasure chest first, so that the portal to the dungeon will appear.

You need to fight waves of enemies in this dungeon until a treasure chest appears. The advice I can give you here is to use as much FFXIV Gil as possible before the battle to make your Job stronger so that you can better fight against countless enemies.

Then you will encounter another multiple-choice question, which requires you to choose the right path. You need to be extremely careful here and observe all signs. Otherwise, if you choose the wrong answer, you will be kicked out of the dungeon and everything will start all over again.

This is why Qeziigural Mount is so rare. After you get Qeziigural Horn, you can exchange it for Qeziigural Mount you want. Then it’s time to show off and explore! Hopefully, you can collect enough Twilight Gemstones in this Cenote Ja Ja Gural Treasure Map Dungeon and get this mount as soon as possible. Have fun playing!

Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail introduces a new class of Crafters’ and Gatherers’ Scrips: Orange. This change makes it easier to obtain Purple Scrips, and players can use these vouchers to obtain items such as Crafting Master Recipe Books, Materia, and materials. Gathering Purple Scrips will be an important task for players who want to focus on crafting and gathering in Dawntrail.

Purple Crafters’ Scrips

Crafting a level 99 Collectable will yield the most Purple Crafters’ Scrips. However, different Jobs will have different crafting difficulties. This is because different recipes require different materials. Taking into account the cost, difficulty of obtaining materials, and the number of Scrips obtained, we found some of the best options and their corresponding recipes:

Leatherworker - Rarefied Gargantuaskin Trousers

• 8 Gargantua Hide - 24 Bicolor Gemstones
• 2 Acacia Bark - Botany
• 5 Levinsilk - Botany
• 5 Ra'Kaznar Ore - Mining
• 1 Magnesia Powder - Mining

Weaver - Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves

• 10 Levinsilk - Botany
• 4 Gargantua Hide - 12 Bicolor Gemstones
• 1 Acacia Bark - Botany
• 5 Ra'Kaznar Ore - Mining
• 1 Magnesia Powder - Mining

Culinarian - Rarefied Stuffed Peppers

• 6 Turali Corn - Botany
• 5 Ut'ohmu Tomato - Botany
• 1 Dragon Pepper - Botany
• 1 Alpaca Fillet - 3 Bicolor Gemstones
• 3 Bell Pepper - Botany

When choosing the best crafting option, Rarefied Stuffed Peppers is an excellent choice because it requires the least number of collectible items. In addition, the basic materials required for Turali Corn Oil and Ut’ohmu Chili Sauce can actually make three collectibles. Rarefied Gargantuaskin Trousers and Rarefied Thunderyards Silk Gloves require more items per crafting. They also cost more if obtained from the Market Board with Bicolor Gemstones or FFXIV Gil.

For other quests, the collectible is less appealing because of its recipe requiring Black Stars. This item requires two tiers of pre-crafting, so it is more time-consuming to collect numerous collectible items. This also means that the number of items collected per crafting is much higher than the other options mentioned previously.

However, if you don’t mind spending more time, the rare Rakazna War Scythe crafted through Blacksmith is a good choice, especially if you have a Miner Retainer to help you collect more.

Purple Gatherers’ Scrips

To collect Purple Scrips for Gatherers, you need to have Miner and Botanist up to level and fully equipped, then collect the timed nodes that appear within two Eorzean hour intervals. These items will reward 14 to 16 Purple Gatherers’ Scrips at base Collectability, and 35 to 38 at maximum Collectability of 1,000.

If you don’t have enough gear to reach the maximum Collectability of Dawntrail materials, you can collect Collectables from previous expansions.

What To Spend Purple Scrips On?

Without Crafting and Gathering, you can also make good money by making weekly Custom Deliveries and converting your Scrips to Materia. But before converting Purple Scrips to Materia, it’s best to first obtain every Master Recipe Book for every Crafting Job, as well as all Regional Folklore Books for Gatherers.

Each Crafter Master Recipe Book costs 1,200 Purple Crafters’ Scrips. For Gatherers, each Regional Folklore Book costs 1,600 Purple Gatherers’ Scrips.

Once you have these items, you can choose to sell them or use them to fuse equipment, or focusing on stocking up on Crafter and Gatherer Materia.

In short, Pentamelding a full set of Crafting or Gathering equipment, requires a lot of Purple Scrips, so you need to get as many Purple Scrips as possible.

In Final Fantasy XIV, you will have a lot of cute things to collect, such as the hairstyles you can change or the mounts you use. Although you may have to spend a lot of time to get them, these cute things will make you more eye-catching in the game world.

Fortunately, not all items are difficult to obtain. For example, Cornservants or Minions can be obtained through some quests in the game. Among them, Shark Minion is deeply loved by players because of its very cute appearance. So this guide will introduce you step by step how to get this cute Shark Minion. If you are very interested in cute food, then come and take a look!

How To Unlock Shark Minion?

In the description in the game, Shark Minion is also called Major-General, a servant with a shark shape but legs. To get it, you need to unlock the achievement of No More Fish in the Sea I, so you must use Fisher Job to participate in Ocean Fishing when completing this quest.

First, you need to go to Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks and talk to N’nmulika (X: 7.9, Y: 14.2). Note that you need to have another job after level 1 to unlock Disciple of Land job.

Then, when you accept So You Want to Be a Fisher quest and say yes, your next quest, Way of the Fisher, begins. After completing this quest, your Fisher Job is unlocked, and you will also be given some fishing rods, bait, and FFXIV Gil.

Next, you can unlock Ocean Fishing quest. Note that you need to change your job to Fisher Job to do this quest. You also need to go to Fishermen’s Guild and Fhilsnoe (X: 7.8, Y: 14.5) there to pick up a quest called All the Fish in the Sea, which you can complete before you can do Ocean Fishing.

Once you join a fishing crew of 24 players, you’ll hit the high seas and start fishing. Unlike other activities, Ocean Fishing is only available at certain times - every two hours in real time.

If you want to participate in this activity, you may want to keep an eye on the real-world time and set aside 15 minutes to talk to Dryskthota (X: 3.0 Y: 12.7) in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks. This is very important.

When you catch a few fish on your boat, which represent different scores, your mission will begin. It should be noted that you need to score 5,000 points in a single voyage on Indigo route to get No More Fish in the Sea I achieve.

Once you unlock the achievement, you can claim some rewards and that cute Shark Minion Major-General in your Achievement tab!
