With over a decade's worth of regular content updates, Final Fantasy 14 has made a name for itself by introducing impressive new bosses, raids, and dungeons to challenge and explore with every major patch. While these battles are engaging spectacles in their own right, hardened veterans of the game may find themselves looking for more formidable foes to test their skills. For these players, Final Fantasy 14 offers Extreme Trials, revamped versions of existing boss fights, introducing new boss mechanics, harder hitting attacks, and exclusive rewards including powerful equipment and rare mounts for those able to complete them.

Final Fantasy 14's newest expansion, Dawntrail, is no exception to this, introducing two new Extreme Trials based on the trials encountered during the Dawntrail Main Scenario Quest. While these are the only Extreme Trials available at launch, other forms of high-difficulty content are also planned, including the Arcadion raids and the upcoming Futures Rewritten Ultimate Raid.

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail - Main Quest List

Here's a list of all 100 main scenario quests added in the Dawntrail expansion.

How To Unlock Dawntrail Extreme Trials

In order to access the new Extreme Trials introduced in Dawntrail, players will have to complete the new Main Scenario storyline, concluding with the level 100 quest "Dawntrail". Upon finishing this quest, a new NPC will become available in Tuliyollal, the Wandering Minstrel (X:11.1, Y:14.6), who will unlock Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme) and Everkeep (Extreme) when speaking with him. These trials can be found in the Duty Finder under the High-end Duty tab, requiring a minimum average item level of 690 to queue for, although this restriction can be bypassed by entering with a premade 8-player party. The easiest way to meet this requirement is to obtain free item level 690 armor and weapons from the armorer Mewazunte in Tuliyollal (X:12.4, Y:12.8), and item level 690 accessories from level 100 dungeons.

Defeating either Extreme Trial will reward players with item level 710 equipment, the highest item level gear available until the Arcadion raid series releases on July 16, 2024, with Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme) dropping weapons, and Everkeep (Extreme) dropping accessories. For players unable to win the random roll for loot rewards after defeating a boss, every victory earns players a corresponding totem which can be exchanged with Uah'shepya in Solution Nine (X:8.7, Y:13.5) for rewards from the boss' loot tables. Additionally, every victory has a rare chance to drop the exclusive Wings of Ruin or Wings of Resolve mounts.
