S-Rank hunts in Remaining Fantasy 14 are humorous little issues. Every S-Rank monster comes with particular spawn situations, a few of that are awfully area of interest. Wish to spawn Armstrong, a monster from Endwalker? Whack on some gear you choose up from a stage 46 quest in A Realm Reborn, die in a particular spot and hope he turns up. Spawning Salt and Gentle requires you to discard objects out of your stock 50 occasions, a painfully tedious course of.
With different weird spawn situations together with utilizing Blue Mage’s self-destruct spell to KO your self, crafting a high-quality steak, or flying over spawn factors with a particular minion summoned, deciphering tips on how to immediate these foes to seem could be a little bit of a activity. Due to teams of devoted hunters, these riddles often get found out fairly shortly… that’s, apart from one pesky elite enemy from Dawntrail, the sport’s newest growth, which left gamers completely stumped for days.
Kirlirger the Abhorrent was one of many latest S-Rank hunts to be added within the sport’s 7.05 patch, which was launched on July 30. But three days later, on August 2, he was nonetheless nowhere to be discovered. Hunters’ more and more determined makes an attempt to spawn him have been highlighted on Twitter, with a few of my favorite recommendations being to emote dozing on a “landmine” (what hunters name mounted spawn factors on every map), popping on a pair of sun shades, or strolling round spawn factors as a crafter or gatherer.
How do gamers even get an thought of the place to begin? Fortunately Remaining Fantasy 14 does not go away you completely excessive and dry on the guessing sport—every S-Rank comes with somewhat description that hints in direction of its spawn situation. Kirlirger’s was heavy on references to him avoiding a good combat, preying on retailers and with the ability to efficiently sneak up on and assault somebody regardless of his giant dimension.
Nicely, after quite a few hours of dressing as retailers, utilizing numerous eye-related talents and killing mobs in an try and spawn it, it turned out all gamers wanted to do was look ahead to some very hyper-specific climate situations. Kirlirger the Abhorrent solely emerges when there’s fog throughout a brand new moon, the latter of which solely happens round as soon as each 37 real-time hours. Is smart that people weren’t capable of spawn it too shortly, although it was a barely extra anti-climactic finish than folks have been anticipating.
Regardless of the ultimate spawn situation being comparatively uninteresting, seeing the method of attempting to determine the situations for a brand new S-Rank is de facto neat. It is one of many few issues within the sport that may’t be brute-forced by way of strategies like datamining. It is all trial and error, child, or generally merely ready a really very long time for a slender window the place the weather-based stars align.
