The Hippo Calf is one of the adorable new minions added Final Fantasy XIV with the release of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. The Hippo Calf is a portly and cute hippopotamus baby, the Hippo Calf is definitely one minion you need to add to your collection.
To get the Hippo Calf, you need to complete the Vanaspati dungeon. The level 85 dungeon is unlocked through the Main Story Quest (MSQ). Complete the dungeon, and the Hippo Calf has a chance to be found in the chest of the final chest.
The Hippo Calf has a very low drop rate, however, so it could be multiple runs before you even catch a glimpse of the little grey minion. The best way to reliably farm this minion is to complete Trusts. Completing the dungeon with NPCs in Trust will ensure there’s no competition for gear or the minion.
Alternatively, the Hippo Calf is Market Board tradeable. This means you could head to the Market Board and purchase the minion from someone who already has it. Depending on your server, this minion currently retails from between one million gil to a more reasonable 40,000.
As a result, you have multiple options to get your hands on the Hippo Calf. Either by grinding out a dungeon, or forking over your hard-earned Gil!
