Follow our step-by-step guide to complete the 'A Strange New World' main scenario quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, including objectives and rewards.
Alright, let's tackle the 'A Strange New World' quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. This one kicks off in Ultima Thule, and you'll be looking for Alphinaud. He's hanging out near some dragons at coordinates x:13.9, y:33.6. The nearest Aetheryte to get you close is Reah Tahra.
The main gist of this quest is that Alphinaud is worried because he can't find Thancred. Your job is to help him figure out what's going on.
- 1
Speak with Alphinaud. You'll start by chatting with Alphinaud, who's waiting for you near some dragons. He's concerned about Thancred's whereabouts.
- 2
Gather information at the vitrified fort. After your chat, you'll need to interact with a 'Molten Structure' at the vitrified fort. This is where you'll gather some clues.
- 3
Speak with Alphinaud again. Head back to Alphinaud to report what you've found (or haven't found!).
- 4
Speak with Estinien. Next up, you'll need to find and speak with Estinien to get his perspective or any information he might have.
- 5
Speak with Alisaie and Attune to the Aetheryte. Finally, you'll need to talk to Alisaie. While you're in the area, make sure to attune to the Reah Tahra Aetheryte if you haven't already. It's a good idea to get this done so you can fast travel back here later if needed. You'll find Alisaie on the right, and the Aetheryte is to the left.
Completing this quest will net you 508,200 EXP and 1,123 Gil. You'll also receive 2 Plum Purple Dye, 2 Lotus Pink Dye, 2 Regal Purple Dye, and an Allagan Silver Piece.
