In Final Fantasy 14’s Dawntrail, the developers have new role quests for every role in the game, including Physical DPS, Magical Ranged DPS, and Tanks we’re talking about today.
Each role has a series of quests that must be completed, normally 7, and the next one will only be unlocked after you complete the previous one. This can take a lot of time, but fortunately, this guide will give you a detailed introduction to every point to pay attention to in the Tank role quests, as well as what you need to prepare, so that you don’t fight unprepared.
Prerequisites For All Quests
First, you need to reach level 90 of Tank Job Class, whether you use Paladin, Warrior, Dark Knight or Gunbreaker. If you don’t choose Tank role in the early game, don’t worry, you can unlock it later.
So if you were previously using a Physical DPS role, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Once you reach level 90 with this job, complete Feat of Pots and Uncouth Customers, and you’ll officially receive your first Tank role quest, The Narwhal Beckons.
Feat of Pots is a quest you get at level 92, and it’s available after you complete Lending a Helphand quest. Uncouth Customers’ quest is a side quest you can find in Tuliyollal.
The Narwhal Beckons Quest
To complete The Narwhal Beckons quest, you need to go to Tuliyollal and talk to Loazenikwe. If you don’t have a good sense of direction, you can go directly to the coordinates X:12.9, Y:15.0. After talking to her, you’ll be teleported to Foundation in Ishgard.
There you can talk to Gibrillont, who is at (X:13.0, Y:11.8). After the conversation, you need to go to Jeweled Crozier in Pillars and look for Tentoawa. This NPC is standing outside in plain sight and has blue hair, which makes it very conspicuous. After talking to him, he will ask you to find Firmalbert.
You can find him near Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly in Saint Valeroyant’s Forum, or you can find him outside the building. After you talk to him, remember to return to Tentoawa and complete your quest. His location has not changed, and after talking to him again, you can unlock the next quest: Sleepless in Ishgard.
Sleepless In Ishgard Quest
After talking to Tentoawa, you will be teleported to Coerthas Central Highlands. You need to find Providence Point in this area and find Eugennoix in Camp Dragonhead, south of it.
After talking to him, you can continue walking south in the direction you just went, and you will meet Tentoawa again. If you don’t want to walk far, you can use your mount to reach Observatorium directly, and he will ask you to help him defeat some ravenous silver wolves on the road south of Observatorium.
This is a very simple battle. After you complete it, you can use the carriage to approach House Fortemps Knight and help them. After the cutscene plays, you can return to Foundation in Ishgard and talk to Firmalbert again.
Finally, you still have to go back to Tentoawa’s location and talk to him. This will end your second quest and start the next quest - Between Sleep and Death.
Between Sleep And Death Quest
Just stay where you were in the last quest and stay with Tentoawa in Jeweled Crozier. After a cutscene with him, you need to go to Falcon’s Nest in the southern part of Coerthas Western Highlands. You will find a very obvious tent in this area, and in front of the tent is the protagonist of this quest, Redwald, and talk to him.
After chatting, go north from this location and you will pass a Black Iron Bridge. After the bridge, you will enter Gorgagne Mills, where you need to find Tentoawa. Once you find him, talk to him as before, then you can enter the house and go down to the bottom floor.
On the bottom floor, you can defeat the enemies in the purple circle. After the battle, crouch down and House Duerndaire Scout will give you some XP and FFXIV Gil. There will be another cutscene, and then you will be taken outside to fight more enemies.
After you defeat the last group of enemies, you can return to Foundation of Ishgard and find Firmalbert instead of Tentoawa. Your quest will end with your chat.
Beacon In The Darkness Quest
After the cutscene, you need to talk to Firmalbert again, which means your Beacon In The Darkness quest begins. In this quest, not only do you need to talk to an NPC, but you also need to go to Four Arms to get 2 sun-drenched dandelions.
You can find them near Zenith of Churning Mists. They are waiting for you with a glittering golden light. Next, you need to teleport to Idyllshire and search for Great Putrid Morbol.
This enemy is located in the south of this area. Go to Answering Quarter and approach the purple glowing point of Destination on the ground, and the enemy will appear. After completing the battle, you must return to Ishgard Foundation, find Loazenikwe, and give him saliva and a sun-soaked dandelion.
Then return to Jeweled Crozier outside, where the conversation here is still between you and Tentoawa. Once the conversation begins, your mission ends.
Dreams Of A New Day Quest
This is the final Tank role mission in Dawntrail, and you’ll still need to approach Tentoawa and talk to him. After the cutscene, you need to go to Ok’Zundu in the Abalathia’s Spine area and talk to Sonu Vanu.
Once there, you’ll go up the stairs to the top floor of town, where you’ll find Sonu Vanu. After talking to him, you’ll need to approach Tentoawa and start a battle for Dreams of a New Day. In this battle, you’ll face Leophyne and her enemies, along with Tentoawa, Loazenikwe, and some Zundu warriors.
After you defeat the first group of enemies she brings, you’ll be able to fight Leophyne directly. She’ll use attacks that have a wide range of impact, but these attacks will appear on the ground, so they can be easily avoided. If you find yourself when you can’t avoid them, you’ll need to use your defensive abilities to protect yourself.
While you’re fighting here, another group of her helpers will appear, and you’ll need to eliminate them before fighting her again. So keep your eyes and ears open, and protect yourself. After you finally defeat these enemies, there will be another cutscene, and you will need to talk to Tentoawa again.
Finally, return to Ishgard and talk to Handeloup, and also talk to Loazenikwe in Tuliyollal in Yok Tural. These guys and Tentoawa will be waiting for you there, and thank you for all your help to the people of Ishgard.
That’s it for the Tank role. It can be a bit tedious, but stick with it, it’s very satisfying to do. Have fun on Dawntrail!
