Learn how to unlock the Mount Ordeals Trial and its Extreme version in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. Follow our questline guide to face Rubicante!

Hey there! Ready to take on a new challenge in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker? We're going to walk through how to unlock the Mount Ordeals Trial, which lets you face off against the fiery Arch-fiend, Rubicante. It's not too tricky, but you'll need to get through a few Main Scenario Quests first.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to complete a specific set of Main Scenario Quests released with patch 6.3. These are: Once More unto the Void, A Cold Reunion, Kindled Spirit, An Unforeseen Bargain, King of the Mountain, A Dragon’s Resolve, Paths Barred, Desires Untold, and Gods Revel, Lands Tremble.
  2. 2
    Once you've finished seven of those quests, make your way to Thavnair. Look for an NPC named Nahbdeen, who you can find at coordinates X: 10, Y: 10.
  3. 3
    Chatting with Nahbdeen will grant you access to the Mount Ordeals Trial. This trial works just like the others you've likely encountered, so be prepared with your usual party composition: 2 Tanks, 2 Healers, and 2 DPS.

Mount Ordeals Trial Extreme Version:

After you've conquered the normal version of Mount Ordeals, you can unlock the Extreme version. This is where things get significantly tougher!

  1. Head over to Old Sharlayan.
  2. Find the Wandering Minstrel. They're located at coordinates X: 12.6, Y: 14.2.
  3. Speak with the Wandering Minstrel to unlock the Extreme Trial. Be warned, this version is a serious step up in difficulty, so make sure you've got a solid group ready to practice with!
  • Normal Mount Ordeals Trial: The rewards here are pretty standard, including the Rubicante Card, Savage Aim Materia XI, Savage Might Materia XI, and Heavens’ Eye Materia XI.
  • Extreme Mount Ordeals Trial: The Extreme version offers much better loot! You have a chance to get the Flamecloaked Weapon for your class (Item Level 625) and, more excitingly, the new mount, the Lynx of Righteous Fire Flute!
