The Level 34 Normal-difficulty trial The Navel can be unlocked by accepting the Level 34 Main Scenario Quest “Lord of the Crags” from Riol, located in Upper La Noscea (X:31.0, Y:24.0).
This is the second four-person trial you’ll encounter in the game, and it’s deep into the Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Main Scenario Questline.
Unlock Quest: Lord of the Crags
The “Lord of the Crags” MSQ is deep into the patch 2.0 Main Scenario Questline of A Realm Reborn. You need to finish every quest leading up to the Level 34 quest before it can be unlocked.
Finish your MSQ backlog and talk to Riol in Upper La Noscea (X:31.0, Y:24.0) once you’re done.
A cutscene will trigger as soon as you talk to Riol. In this cutscene, you’ll talk to him and Y’shtola about the beastman aetheryte that The Company of Heroes discovered in Upper La Noscea.
As the kobolds scramble to summon their primal deity, you and your allies struggle to enter their domain.
The dormant aetheryte near the kobold’s mines may be the only path forward. With no other option at hand, the three of you will decide to attempt to enter Titan’s domain using the aetheryte. Head to the aetheryte in Upper La Noscea (X:29.0, Y:18.7) to investigate further.
You’ll need to kill a few mobs on the way, including some kobolds guarding the aetheryte.
Once you clear the mobs, attune to the beastman aetheryte.
Another cutscene will trigger that shows the successful attunement. Y’shtola will explain that she will be staying behind to keep the aetheryte open for your escape.
The path to the Lord of the Crags’ domain is now open.
After the cutscene, The Navel will be unlocked.
This trial requires at least a Level 34 Disciple of War or Magic job to enter and has no item level requirement. This trial is fairly simple but can be very punishing if you make a mistake.
Trial Boss: Titan
After certain thresholds during the fight, the arena will shrink and its outer barriers will be removed.
Be careful not to get knocked back or walk off the arena or you will instantly die.
Mechanics:
- Tumult: A room-wide AoE attack. Heal through the damage.
- Rockbuster: A cleaving tankbuster attack on the primary target.
- Geocrush (75%): At 75% HP, the boss will jump up and drop a proximity marker in the middle of the arena, dealing damage based on how close you are to the marker. The outer edges will also be marked for destruction. Move away from the center while avoiding the outer edges that will be destroyed. After this attack, you can now fall off the edge.
- Landslide: A line attack that knocks players back. Avoid this at all costs, especially if you’re near the edge, or you will die.
- Geocrush (50%): The boss will repeat Geocrush at 50% HP. Move away from the center.
- Titan’s Heart: After the second “Geocrush,” the boss will expose his heart. Destroy the heart before the boss uses his “Earthen Fury” ultimate, or you will wipe.
- Earthen Fury: A room-wide ultimate AoE attack that will wipe the party if the boss’ heart isn’t killed in time.
- Rock Throw: A random player will be trapped in a “Granite Gaol.” Destroy the gaol before it finishes casting “Granite Sepulchre,” or the trapped player will die.
- Weight of the Land: Brown circle AoE will appear underneath random players. Have the healer and DPS stay near each other to bait the AoEs in one area before moving out.
