To unlock the Level 20 normal-difficulty dungeon Halatali, you need to accept the Level 20 quest “Hallo Halatali” from Nedrick Ironheart in Western Thanalan (X:12.0, Y:14.3).
We’ll cover a full walkthrough of this unlocking quest below, plus strategies for the dungeon itself.

Unlocking Quest: Hallo Halatali
“Hallo Halatali” is a Level 20 feature quest in Western Thanalan.
Since this quest isn’t tied to the main story, you’ll be able to accept the quest from Nedrick Ironheart once you meet the level requirement.
Do your FATEs, Main Scenario Quests (MSQs), and dungeon runs until you reach Level 20, then head to Western Thanalan (X:12.0, Y:14.3) to begin.
Nedrick Ironheart, an explorer and scion alike, invites you to a storied gladiator training grounds located in Eastern Thanalan. While Halatali has stood for over a hundred years, The Calamity laid waste to the training grounds, making way for bloodthirsty beasts to occupy it.
The Immortal Flames are now keeping watch of Halatali to prevent people from wandering aimlessly inside.
Speak to Fafajoni outside of the dungeon in Eastern Thanalan (X:14.8, Y:30.1) to continue.
Fafajoni will spare you the history lesson and leave you with a warning instead: “There are those within that even the might of the Immortal Flames cannot tame.”
After a brief conversation, the Flame Private will grant you access to Halatali.
This dungeon requires at least a Level 20 Disciple of War or Magic job to enter and has no average item level requirement.
Boss #1: Firemane
If your healer is confident enough with their gear, you can ignore the wisps entirely and just burn the boss down.
Mechanics:
- Fire: A constant single-target attack on the primary target.
- Damantus: Small fire wisps will spawn from the opened gates and float toward the center pyre. If the orb reaches the center, it’ll explode in a room-wide AoE. Kill the wisps as soon as possible.
- Noxius: A stronger version of “Damantus” that deals more AoE damage if it explodes.
