FFXIV: How to unlock Thaleia

Thaleia is the final duty of the Endwalker Alliance Raid series, Myths of the Realm. We’re finally going to conclude the story of the gods this patch and find out who they are. In order to do this, we must first unlock the final duty. Here’s how to unlock Thaelia in FFXIV.

Thaleia Alliance Raid unlock- starting location and NPC

First of all, if you haven’t done the Alliance Raid series yet, you must progress just past the dungeon of 6.1 and to the end of the Main Scenario Quest ‘A Brother’s Grief.’ From that, you start the chain with the Fresh-faced Student in Old Sharlayan (9.1, 11.4) inside the Baldesion Annex. The quest is called ‘A Mission in Mor Dhona’.

Teleport to Revenant’s Toll after accepting, follow the quest, find the Baby Opo-opo at (25, 11.5) on the map, meet your NPC, and proceed on through Aglaia and Eurphosyne.

The third and final set of quests to unlock Thaleia start with Deryk once more in the same spot, at (23.9, 9) on the Mor Dhona map with the quest ‘The Heart of the Myth’.

Starting the quest has you go inside the Omphalos, which is keyholed just down the way at (24.5, 126). After the cutscene, you have the opportunity to speak with all of the Twelve. I would highly recommend doing that before you progress the quest, especially the patron deity of your character. Each god has a unique line of dialogue if they’re picked as your deity. This opportunity goes away once you advance the quest by talking to Deryk again.

You will then need to detour to Mare Lamentorum to speak with the Watcher before returning to the Omphalos for a cutscene. After that, speaking with G’raha Tia unlocks Thaleia. Have fun, but be emotionally prepared for Thaleia, as a small word of warning.
