Players must use the Aithon Whistle to unlock the Aithon mount. Mount hunters can acquire this item from A Realm Reborn's Trial, The Bowl of Embers (Extreme.) This is the most challenging variant of the Ifrit boss and will require players to coordinate with party members, so be ready for a tough fight.
