Your Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker walkthrough for the 'Verdict and Execution' MSQ at Level 86. Learn how to face the lykaon and complete the quest.

Alright, let's get through this part of the Main Scenario Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. This one's called "Verdict and Execution" and you'll be tackling it around level 86. We're heading into Elpis for this one, so make sure you're ready!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speak with Doros: First things first, you'll need to find Doros in Elpis. The quest marker should point you right to him in Philomythes Notos, near The Twelve Wonders. Just chat with him to kick things off and trigger a cutscene.
  2. 2
    Speak with Hermes: After that, you'll need to find Hermes. He's also in Philomythes Notos, at the same location as Doros (X:8.4 Y:31.9). Talk to him to advance the story.
  3. 3
    Face down the lykaon and its fireballs: This is where things get a little more active. You'll need to deal with a lykaon and some fireballs. The objective is to defeat 3 of these Fire Aethers. Keep an eye out, as two more will spawn during this part.
  4. 4
    Stand in front of the lykaon and keep its attention: Once you've dealt with the initial spawns, you'll have a specific task: stand in front of the lykaon and make sure it keeps its attention on you. This is a classic tank-and-spank or aggro-management moment, so be ready to hold its gaze.
  5. 5
    Speak with Emet-Selch: Finally, after you've handled the lykaon, you'll need to speak with Emet-Selch. He's usually nearby after these encounters. Chatting with him will wrap up the quest.
Tips
  • Make sure you're at the correct Aetheryte, The Twelve Wonders, to minimize travel time.
  • Pay attention to the mechanics during the lykaon fight; don't just stand there and take hits!
  • The quest is pretty straightforward if you follow the objective markers.

Upon completion, you'll receive 488,400 EXP, 1,102 Gil, and an Ironwood Hand Gear Coffer.

This quest also unlocks the next one in the chain, "Travelers at the Crossroads" (Level 87).
