In an amazing display of teamwork, your fellow Scions inform you that the beast tribes are seeking to summon their primals once more. With the Grand Companies having suffered grievous losses in the recent operation, the task of vanquishing the god-like beings has fallen to you. Speak with Urianger for an overview of your mission.
In cryptic words, Urianger informs you that the Amalj'aa may have already succeeded in summoning Ifrit. Speak with Thancred, who has recently resumed his duties as a Scion, and ascertain the latest situation in Thanalan.
IFRIT BLEEDS, WE CAN KILL IT
Thancred confirms Urianger's words that Ifrit has been summoned once more. Report to the Hall of Flames and speak with Commander Swift to learn how you might arrange a meeting with the Lord of the Inferno.
According to Commander Swift, a beastman aetheryte leading to Ifrit's domain, the Bowl of Embers, has been discovered within Zahar'ak in southern Thanalan. Fight your way to the innermost depths of the Amalj'aa stronghold, and attune to the aetheryte.
You have attuned yourself to the Zahar'ak aetheryte, and the path to the Bowl of Embers lies wide open. Assemble your stoutest adventuring comrades, and vanquish the Lord of the Inferno.
※The Bowl of Embers (Hard) trial.
IN FOR GARUDA AWAKENING
On the heels of the Amalj'aa, the Ixal have also succeeded in summoning their primal. Report to the Adders' Nest and speak with Command Heuloix to learn how you might arrange an encounter with Garuda.
According to Commander Heuloix, a beastman aetheryte leading to Garuda's domain, the Howling Eye, has discovered with Natalan in the central highlands of Coerthas. Fight your way to the innermost depths of the Ixali stronghold, and attune to the aetheryte.
You have successfully attuned yourself to the Natalan aetheryte, and the path to the Howling Eye lies wide open. Assemble your stoutest adventuring comrades, and vanquish the Lady of the Vortex.
※The Howling Eye (Hard) trial.
IN A TITAN SPOT
As if on cue, the kobolds have succeeded in summoning Titan. According to Y'shtola, in his current incarnation, Titan now surpasses even Garuda in strength. Report to Maelstrom Command and speak with Commander Rhiki to learn how you might arrange a confrontation with the Lord of Crags.
According to Commander Rhiki, a beastman aetheryte leading to Titan's domain, the Navel, has been discovered within U'Ghamaro Mines in outer La Noscea. Fight your way to the innermost depths of the kobold stronghold, and attune to the aetheryte.
You have successfully attuned yourself to the U'Ghamaro aetheryte, and the path to the Navel lies wide open. Assemble your stoutest adventuring comrades, and vanquish the Lord of Crags.
※The Navel (Hard) trial.
PRIMAL NATURE
Urianger has heard word that the primal Garuda has returned. Travel to the Adders' Nest in Gridania, and speak with High Serpent Commander Vorsaile Heuloix to learn more of this seemingly immortal foe.
Commander Heuloix warns you that the tempestuous primal has displayed a degree of power far greater than any of her previous incarnations. Speak with the commander when you are ready to receive a briefing on what promises to be a most demanding and dangerous mission.
GALE-FORCE WARNING
After briefing you on the unusually potent manifestation of the primal, Commander Heuloix bids you confront Garuda in her domain in the Howling Eye. Travel to the Coerthas central highlands and battle your way to the beastman aetheryte deep within Natalan. You have fought past the ranks of the Ixal to once more stand before the Natalan Aetheryte. Assemble your companions, and do battle with the Lady of the Vortex!
※The Howling Eye (Extreme) trial.
You have defeated the primal Garuda and obtained a strange object fashioned of bone.
Deliver the bone curiosity to Commander Heuloix at the Adders' Nest in Gridania, and inform him of your success against the primal Garuda.
Commander Heuloix surmises that the unsettling memento you retrived from the Howling Eye is likely some manner of ritual object. Return to the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay, and consult with Urianger on the nature of your grisly trophy.
You deliver the ritual focus to Urianger, and the scholarly Elezen surmises that Garuda's enhanced powers are likely the result of an altered rite of summoning. Doubting the Ixal's willingness to meddle in the traditional ritual, Urianger suspects the involvement of the chaos-breeding Ascians. As if to underscore his suspicions, the Scion prepares to tell you of yet another primal threat...
QUAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU O'GHOMORO
Titan, the Lord of Crags, has made his presence known in Vylbrand with ground-shaking force. Travel to Maelstrom Command in Limsa Lominsa, and speak with High Storm Commander R'ashaht Rhiki to offer your assistance. Summoned once more by his kobold followers, the primal Titan has settled into his usual abode in the Navel. Infiltrate the kobolds' stronghold in outer La Noscea, and reestablish your link with the U'Ghamaro aetheryte.
You have re-attuned to the aetheryte hidden within U'Ghamaro Mines. Assemble your companions, and storm the domain of the Lord of Crags!
※The Navel (Extreme) trial.
You have defeated the primal Titan and obtained a ritual focus.
Deliver the ritual object to Commander R'ashaht Rhiki at Maelstrom Command in Limsa Lominsa, and inform her of your success against the primal Titan. Commander R'ashaht Rhiki appears as unsure of the purpose of the ritual focus as her counterpart in Gridania. Return to the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay, and deliver the second trophy of bone to Urianger.
After listening to the tale of your adventures, Urianger begins comparing the common elements surrounding the unusually powerful resurgence of both Garuda and Titan. It appears that the growing strength of the primals neatly coincides with your own steadily burgeoning abilities...
IFRIT AIN'T BROKE
Though there have been no overt signs of Ifrit's stirring, Urianger suspects that the situation will soon change. Visit the Hall of Flames in Ul'dah, and warn High Flame Commander Swift of the impending danger.
The disappearance of the Immortal Flames scouting parties deployed into Zahar'ak suggests that Ifrit once more rages within the Bowl of Embers. Commander Swift bids you gather a party of stout-hearted companions, and renew your bond with the Zahar'ak aetheryte in southern Thanalan.
You have re-attuned to the aetheryte at Zahar'ak. Assemble your companions, and confront the Lord of the Inferno in his own domain.
※The Bowl of Embers (Extreme) trial.
You have defeated the primal Ifrit and obtained a ritual focus.
Deliver the ritual object to Commander Swift at the Hall of Flames in Ul'dah, and inform him of your success against the primal Ifrit.
Commander Swift appears eager to devise new tactics for dealing with the strengthened primals. Return to the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay, and deliver the third ritual focus to Urianger along with Swift's hopes for a successful investigation.
You deliver the ritual object to Urianger and describe your encounter with the shadowy Ascians. The Elezen laments that while he is occupied with uncovering a more permanent solution to the primal threat, there is no recourse but to continue slaying the beastman deities whenever they arise. It appears, however, that he may have a means to aid you in this increasingly dangerous endeavor.
Urianger wishes to introduce you to a means of acquiring superior arms.
Urianger has arranged for a merchant in Mor Dhona to accept the ritual foci as fair exchange for a unique weapon. Take the three primal trophies you collected, and trade them to Rowena at Revenant's Toll.
After scrutinizing the uncanny objects of bone, Rowena appears satisfied that they will sell for a handsome sum. Deliver the ritual tools to Laraina, the merchant's acquisitions officer, and formalize the transaction.
You deliver the primal trophies to Laraina, and receive three merchant's tokens in exchange. With such tokens in your possession, you are now able to make a selection from Rowena's stock of high-quality armaments. Laraina explains that should you wish to obtain more of their weapons, you need only bring her another set of “stomach-churning” ritual foci.
PRIMAL FOCUS
Laraina has offered you another token in exchange for a complete set of ritual foci. Defeat the primals Garuda, Titan, and Ifrit to obtain the three ghastly trophies that the acquisitions officer has requested.
You have once more collected a full set of primal-summoning ritual tools. Deliver the trophies to Laraina at Revenant's Toll in Mor Dhona.
You obtain another three merchant tokens from Laraina in exchange for the set of ritual foci. Though you might wish to acquire more tokens to spend at Rowena's shop, you must exercise a measure of patience as you wait for the beastmen to once again initiate the rites of summoning.
THE KING LIVES
Urianger informs you that the Mogglesguard have once more succeeded in calling forth the daunting avatar of Good King Moggle Mog XII. Make your way to the Adders' Nest in Gridania, and report to High Serpent Commander Vorsaile Heuloix.
In somewhat pained tones, Vorsaile Heuloix explains how Kuplo Kopp attempted to chastise the Mogglesguard for their previous folly in summoning the king. Unfortunately, Kuplo's words did not have the desired effect-- fueled by fear and righteous indignation, the Mogglesguard proceeded to summon an even more potent incarnation of their maniacal monarch. Make haste to the Bramble Patch in the East Shroud, and rendezvous with your frantic moogle acquaintance. Kuplo Kopp has called upon you to depose "Great" King Moggle Mog XII, and to give the Mogglesguard a sound thrashing. Enter Thornmarch through the nullified ward, and defeat this royal menace!
※Thornmarch (Extreme) trial.
WHORL OF A TIME
According to the request for aid Urianger received from Maelstrom Command, the primal Leviathan has made an unexpectedly swift and deadly reappearance. Travel to Limsa Lominsa and report to High Storm Commander R'ashaht Rhiki for a briefing on the situation.
R'ashaht Rhiki confirms that the Lord of the Whorl has indeed returned to terrorize the seas. Reports of the primal's most recent attack suggest that this incarnation of Leviathan is possessed of truly nightmarish power and represents a threat that must be neutralized with all possible haste. As soon as your preparations are complete, make your way to the Moraby Drydocks and speak with Sergeant Styrnlona.
Sergeant Styrnlona eagerly informs you that the twin vessel, the Whorleater, and its towing ship are ready to leave port as soon as you board. The time has come to sail forth and confront the Lord of the Whorl once more.
※The Whorleater (Extreme) trial.
JUDGMENT BOLTS AND LIGHTNING
Lieutenant Scarlet conveys to you the disturbing news of Ramuh's resurgence. According to the Twin Adder officer, Frixio has requested your counsel regarding the primal's all-too-sudden return. Make your way to Little Solace in the East Shroud, and announce your arrival to the the elder sylph's attendant, Dellexia.
After welcoming you back to Little Solace, Frixio explains that the touched sylphs─fueled by fear and anger─have once more summoned their thunderous god. Though adamant that Ramuh holds no destructive agenda, the elder sylph admits that the primal's very presence is a danger to the land. The Lord of Levin must be defeated, not only to protect the realm, but also to teach his vengeful thralls the futility of their actions. Head deep into the territory of the touched sylphs and attune yourself to the Sylphlands aetheryte.
You have attuned yourself to the Sylphlands aetheryte. Gather your companions, and challenge the Lord of Levin beneath the boughs of the Striking Tree!
※The Striking Tree (Extreme) trial.
You have once more banished Ramuh to the sea of aether. Travel to the Waking Sands in Vesper Bay and report to Urianger.
You rouse Urianger from his studies to tell him of your second victory over the Lord of Levin. Listening intently to your tale, the Archon appears convinced that the touched sylphs have adopted the enhanced summoning ritual invented by the Ascians. For what terrible purpose do the servants of darkness seek to corrupt the essence of the primals...?
DROP DEAD SHIVA
Urianger grimly confirms that which a part of you already suspected: Lady Iceheart has recovered from her wounds and resumed her campaign against Ishgard. A letter from Lord Drillemont makes mention of a recent theft of crystals, which would suggest that the heretic leader intends to summon Saint Shiva once again. Return to Whitebrim Front and speak with Lord Drillemont to ascertain the situation.
Lord Drillemont reveals that he had intended to establish an Ishgardian outpost at Snowcloak. Alas, Lady Iceheart and her forces fell upon his men in a surprise attack, retaking the fortress along with the knights' sundry supplies. He implores you to confront the heretic leader and, if necessary, put down the dread primal Shiva once again. A Temple Knight posted at Snowcloak can escort you through hidden tunnels to the aetheryte within the heretics' lair which you can use to reach Lady Iceheart's sanctuary.
The Temple Knight stands ready to guide you through the tunnels. Assemble your companions and do what you must for the good of the realm.
※The Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme) trial.
At the end of a titanic struggle, you succeed in defeating Saint Shiva, but cannot prevent Lady Iceheart from making her escape once again. Be that as it may, Lord Drillemont will doubtless be relieved to hear of your victory.
The troubling events of recent days have given Lord Drillemont much to consider; in particular, whether or not Ishgard has the capability to address the heretic threat on its own. Putting aside such concerns, he thanks you for your timely intervention, and bids you convey his gratitude to Urianger and the other Scions.
Long accustomed to the sight of your triumphant swagger, Urianger discerns that Saint Shiva is no more before you have even opened your mouth. Your subsequent description of the events at Snowcloak gives him pause, however, and he concludes that the Ascians yet labor to incite the heretics and Lady Iceheart to continue their crusade. Undaunted, the Archon declares his belief that Eorzea will one day be rid of the Ascian menace, and that you are the key to the realm's salvation.
FEAR AND ODIN IN THE SHROUD
The elder primal Odin has reared his head again. This time, however, Brother O-App-Pesi has devised a strategy to put an end to the Dark Divinity's hunt through the Shroud. He has personally asked for your aid, and has called for you to attend him in Urth's Fount.
O-App-Pesi wastes no words─you are to head a company of adventurers against the Dark Divinity. The brother and E-Sumi-Yan will behold your battle with Odin from afar in hopes of learning why the primal is never long gone from the Shroud. When you are ready, proceed to Urth's Fount and challenge Odin.
※Urth's Fount trial.
The Dark Divinity rides no more. Speak with O-App-Pesi and learn what he has observed.
The two brothers present a fascinating theory: Odin is not the being who wields the Zantetsuken, but rather a manifestation of the blade itself. Before they are able to study the sword further, however, a sworn man of the Gods' Quiver steals the Zantetsuken. O-App-Pesi vows you will get the chance to shatter the fell blade on the day the sword is again found.
