All new Trials in Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker was released on Dec. 7, 2021, adding more stories, dungeons, content, and of course, Trials. Trials are instanced eight-man boss fights that make up most of Final Fantasy XIV’s most dramatic fights. They also represent the middle-tier of difficulty content, landing somewhere between dungeons and raids.

Endwalker adds five total Trials. Three mainline story Trials occur during the Main Story Quest (MSQ) and two High-end Trials.

Players can unlock the final pair after they’ve completed the final quest of the MSQ. Travel to Old Sharlayan, and seek out the Wandering Minstrel NPC near the Scholar’s Harbor. He will have a quest called I Wandered Sharlayan as a Minstrel. Talk to him to complete this quest.

After this, you’ll have to speak to him again and talk to him in turn about Hydaelyn and Zodiark. These will unlock their respective Trials after a brief cutscene.
