Set in the vast world of FFXIV, extreme trials are harder versions of existing trials, and all require you to complete the normal version of a trial before they can be unlocked. Completing Extreme Trials requires a team willing to communicate locations and patterns, and completing them can earn your advanced gear and other rewards, such as mounts, weapons, and totems.

From A Realm Reborn to the latest expansion, Dawntrail, each expansion has brought new Extreme Trials for players to take on. This guide will detail how to unlock these exciting challenges step by step, as well as the unique rewards they offer.

A Realm Reborn

Most Trials are unlocked by talking to Urianger in Waking Sands (located in Western Thanalan), but ARR has some tricky unlocking methods, and he will give you a quest chain starting with Primal Nature, and you must unlock them in order.

Luckily, for players above level 70, these fights can be completed quickly in an asynchronous setting. If not, feel free to form a party finder group and some veteran players will come to help you, as they will be rewarded with Poetics and Wondrous Tails retries. For new players who want to feel a sense of accomplishment in the game, it is possible to complete the quest quickly by obtaining some FFXIV Gill to upgrade your equipment.

The rewards for Extreme Trials of A Realm Reborn are mainly horses. After collecting all six mounts (excluding Nightmare), you can unlock Kirin mount through the quest A Legend for a Legend.

Heavensward

Unlike ARR quests, Heavensward quests can be completed in any order, and different quests correspond to different bosses. For example, Diabolical Bismarck quest unlocks Bismarck’s Limitless Blue (Extreme), while Thok Around Clock quest unlocks Ravana’s Thok ast Thok (Extreme).

There are two more quests that unlock Heavensward Extreme Challenges from Alys in Mor Dhona, Thordan’s Reign and Nidhogg’s Rage. Finally, you can find Bertana in Idyllshire or Rowena’s Representative in Ishgard to get looted.

Mounts in Heavensward are called lanners, which are brightly colored, glowing birds. Firebird is unlocked by completing Fiery Wings, Fiery Hearts quest after obtaining seven lanners.

Stormblood

Most of Stormblood Extreme Trials fights are unlocked by completing Songs in Key of Kugane quest by talking to Wandering Minstrel in Kugane and telling him about the different feats you beat in the normal trials.

You can trade your totems with Eschina in Rhalgr’s Reach or Rowena’s Representative in Kugane to get loot.

In Stormblood Extreme Trials, mounts are foxes called kamuy. After collecting all seven kamuy mounts, you can obtain Kamuy of Nine Tails mount by completing the quest A Lone Wolf no more.

Shadowbringers

You unlock most of Shadowbringers Extreme Trials at Minstrelling Wanderer in Crystarium, and like their SB counterparts, you need to talk to him about your feats to unlock the fight.

You can trade Shadowbringers totems for loot with Fathard in Eulmore or Mowen’s Merchant in Crystarium.

Mounts in Shadowbringers are dragons called gwibers. After collecting all seven gwibers, you can unlock a giant mechanical dragon, Landerwaffe, by completing the quest Dragon Made.

Endwalker

Getting into Extreme Trials is pretty straightforward, as they’re all unlocked in the same place. Talk to Wandering Minstrel in Old Sharlayan and pick up the quest I Wandered Sharlayan as a Minstrel. There are no steps to complete this quest, just talk to NPC to start and complete it.

You can trade Endwalker totems for a gear with Nesvaaz in Radz-at-Han or Agora Merchant in Old Sharlayan.

Endwalker mounts are large kittens, also known as lynxes. Once you have all seven lynxes, you can unlock Apocryphal Bahamut mount through Wings of Hope quest.

Dawntrail

In order to access the new Extreme Trials introduced in Dawntrail, players must complete the new main story, culminating in the level 100 quest Dawntrail. After completing this quest, a new NPC will appear in Tuliyollal. Wandering Bard is back. Talk to him. Your victories will unlock Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme) and Everkeep (Extreme).

Worqor Lar Dor (Extreme) will drop weapons, and Everkeep (Extreme) will drop accessories. For players who are unable to win the random draw for loot rewards after defeating the boss, each victory will earn players the corresponding totem, which can be exchanged with Uah’shepya in Solution Nine for rewards from the boss loot table. In addition, each victory has a certain chance to drop an exclusive Wings of Ruin or Wings of Resolve mounts. But this will not be revealed until the end of the 7.0 patch cycle.

V63-BERTHA

V63-BERTHA has a double-shot feature, firing an extra bullet per shot, which is equivalent to firing two bullets instead of one per trigger pull. The damage caused by the bullets is increased by 25%, which directly increases the lethality of the weapon.

If you want to get this weapon quickly, there is no other way except to get it from other players.

V63 Shock Baton

V63 Shock Baton increases armor penetration by 50%, making the weapon more effective against armored targets. It increases limb damage by 50%, which may cause greater damage when hitting the enemy’s limbs, affecting their mobility.

The only downside to this weapon is the cost of ammunition. It runs on Fusion Cores. These can be very expensive, especially if the player’s CAMP does not have a Fusion Core Recharger. This weapon is one reward for completing Neurological Warfare.

V63 Zweihander

V63 Zweihander increases damage output by 50% when the target’s health is below 40%, which can make it possible to deal more damage when the enemy’s health is low. It increases damage output on power attacks by 40% and reduces damage taken on power attacks by 40%.

A melee weapon that attacks with power when the enemy is low on health and reduces the damage you take when you do so. It can be a very effective weapon for taking down some of the easier enemies in the game.

This two-handed weapon is obtained by completing the final main quest in Skyline Valley Region, Eye of The Storm. While it is a fairly slow and cumbersome weapon, it packs a punch.

Red Terror

Red Terror’s damage increases by 5% with each successive hit on the same enemy, up to a maximum of 45%. This represents Red Terror’s cumulative threat and fear. The 25% increase in damage while aiming allows for precision strikes and targeted suppression. The 15% increase in reload speed means quick reactions and adaptability. Like V63-BERTHA, Red Terror has doubled its ammo capacity.

Red Terror is a new light machine gun. Players can paint it with a Red Terror Paint and a Green Red Terror Paint. With the right setup, it can be very effective against large groups of enemies, and as such, it is one of the most popular weapons in Skyline Valley. Players have a chance to get Red Terror after completing Dangerous Pastimes event.

V63-OLGA

V63-OLGA increases armor penetration by 50%. Therefore, the weapon can effectively penetrate the enemy’s armor defenses and deal with higher actual damage. Increases damage by 25% when aiming. This encourages players to take a more cautious approach. V63-OLGA also increases reload speed by 15%, and can be deadly if used with the right skills. Players have a chance to get this weapon after completing Neurological Warfare.

It is a splendid weapon, as it has a decent damage output and minimal recoil. Unfortunately, this weapon is not suitable for V.A.T.S. users.

Ticket To Revenge

As the chain continues, Ticket To Revenge increases damage by 5% per chain, up to a maximum of 45%. This increasing damage output encourages the user to chain attacks. The weapon fires 25% faster and is 90% lighter.

Despite the nerf, this weapon is still very powerful and can knock down almost all tank enemies in the game, and is definitely worth keeping. It has a fast fire rate, hits hard, and Ticket To Revenge has twice the ammo compared to standard Railroad Rifle.

It is an automatic weapon, perfect for commandos. Ticket To Revenge also has a fairly low V.A.T.S. cost, making it a brilliant choice for those who like to maximize critical hit damage through V.A.T.S. system.

After completing the quest Between The Lines, you will be given a quest called Seeking Shelter. Completing this quest rewards the player with Ticket To Revenge. This quest is not difficult to complete and only takes 5 minutes.

Shattered Grounds

Depending on the addiction level, the damage of Shattered Grounds can be increased by up to 50%, and the bullet explosion can deal area damage equal to 20% of the base damage, while Shattered Grounds only weigh 10% of the standard weight.

Shattered Grounds is a special version of Handmade Rifle that players are rewarded for completing Double-Crossed Wires quest. It has a fast rate of fire, deals explosive area damage, and holds 5 more rounds than standard Railroad Rifle. While it is an excellent weapon, it is also a niche weapon. Not many players tend to use Junkie’s builds.
