The hidden quest "The Pilgrim's Answer" in Final Fantasy XIV patch 7.35, featuring Cyella, has been unveiled. Accessible after completing the Pilgrim's Traverse deep dungeon, this quest deepens the game's lore.
Quest and Character Details
Cyella, formerly known as Cylva the Shadowkeeper, plays a central role in this quest. Players must first clear all 100 floors of the Pilgrim's Traverse deep dungeon. The quest is initiated by speaking to Cyella in the Crystarium, though it doesn't appear on the minimap.
The narrative unveils Cyella's past and the creation of the boss Eminent Grief, a fusion of Light and Darkness. This creature is linked to the Shadowbringers role quests and must be undertaken on four different jobs.
Lore and Expansion Implications
The quest sheds light on Cyella's former identity and the potential threats linked to Light and Darkness interactions. Players learn about a memoriate Cyella once sealed and the implications of cross-reflection events.
The introduction of the Key to Interdimensional Fusion hints at evolving gameplay dynamics and possible hybrid enemies in future updates. It connects with lore expectations for the upcoming version 8.0 expansion.
This optional quest not only enriches the existing storyline but also sets the stage for ambitious narrative developments, emphasizing the evolving battle mechanics central to Final Fantasy XIV.
