As Final Fantasy XIV launches its next major update, there’s new mount rewards to score. In FFXIV Patch 6.5, you can earn the new Apocryphal Bahamut mount for collecting all seven Lynx flutes from their respective Extreme Trial boss.
Whether you’re just starting the grind or not sure what you’re missing, we’ll help you tame another scaled-beastie for your collection. Here’s how to complete the FFXIV Wings of Hope questline, and get every Lynx mount.
How to collect all FFXIV Lynx mounts
Just like in every expansion before, Endwalker offers its own reward for collecting all of version 6.0’s Extreme Trial mounts. You’ll need to defeat each primal’s hardest difficulty and get a lucky role on their respective whistle. Don’t be surprised if you farm fights for hours and never see a Lynx mount drop. Bosses don’t always yield a Lynx whistle, but Square Enix slowly increases the drop rates as fights grow older.
Lynx Mount Checklist:
- Lynx of Eternal Darkness – Zodiark Extreme
- Lynx of Divine Light – Hydaelyn Extreme
- Bluefeather Lynx – Endsinger Extreme
- Lynx of Imperious Wind – Barbariccia Extreme
- Lynx of Righteous Fire – Rubicante Extreme
- Lynx of Fallen Shadow – Golbez Extreme
- Lynx of Abyssal Grief – Zeromus Extreme
As a result of your hard work for getting all of the Lynx mounts, you’ll receive a massive dragon holding a chair for your Warrior of Light to ride on. The Apocyphal Bahamut mount is based on Final Fantasy IV’s Bahamut. If you don’t get lucky and win the actual Lynx whistles from boss coffers, you can trade 99 trial totems in Radz-at-Han with Nesvaaz (X:10.5, Y:10.1). Thankfully, every primal defeat yields at least one totem, while some bosses reward two.
How to complete FFXIV Wings of Hope
Again, this quest follows the same format as the expansions before it. Once you’ve obtained every Extreme Trial mount, speak to Singingway in Old Sharlayan (X:11.5, Y:10.3) to begin Wings of Hope.
