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. Need 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 selected spot and hope he turns up. Spawning Salt and Gentle requires you to discard gadgets out of your stock 50 instances, 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 selected minion summoned, deciphering easy methods to immediate these foes to look could be a little bit of a activity. Because of teams of devoted hunters, these riddles normally get found out fairly rapidly… that’s, aside 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 recreation’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 had been highlighted on Twitter, with a few of my favorite options 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 start out? Fortunately Remaining Fantasy 14 would not go away you completely excessive and dry on the guessing recreation—every S-Rank comes with slightly 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 having the ability to efficiently sneak up on and assault somebody regardless of his giant measurement.
Properly, after quite a few hours of dressing as retailers, utilizing numerous eye-related skills and killing mobs in an try and spawn it, it turned out all gamers wanted to do was watch for 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 folks weren’t in a position to spawn it too rapidly, although it was a barely extra anti-climactic finish than individuals had been anticipating.
Regardless of the ultimate spawn situation being comparatively uninteresting, seeing the method of making an attempt to determine the situations for a brand new S-Rank is basically neat. It is one of many few issues within the recreation that may’t be brute-forced through strategies like datamining. It is all trial and error, child, or typically merely ready a really very long time for a slender window the place the weather-based stars align.
