Unlocking the Omega Protocol Ultimate Raid in FFXIV

The Wandering Minstrel of Old Sharlayan in FFXIV Endwalker

There are multiple conditions that be met before players can participate in the new Omega Protocol Ultimate Raid in FFXIV. The first is the completion of the entire Endwalker MSQ, after which “I Wandered Sharlayan as a Minstrel” becomes available as a quest from the Wandering Minstrel at Old Sharlayan (X: 12.7, Y: 14.3). 

Clearing “I Wandered Sharlayan as a Minstrel” grants players access to the most challenging Raid content of Endwalker, such as The Minstrel’s Ballad: Zodiark’s Fall or Dragonsong’s Reprise (Ultimate). This quest is not the only quest-related requirement for unlocking the Omega Protocol Ultimate Raid. Players must also have cleared Abyssos: The Eighth Circle (Savage), meaning that players must participate in the Pandæmonium questline and complete all the required Raids to reach and finish The Eighth Circle on Savage.

Once all the conditions above have been met, players must speak with the Wandering Minstrel again in Old Sharlayan at the coordinates (X: 12.7, Y: 14.2). Completing the conversation will finally grant Warriors of Light access to the Omega Protocol Ultimate Raid in FFXIV. While there is no harm in entering this Level 90 Ultimate Raid blindly for the first time, those aiming to master its mechanics to work effectively with their team to achieve will need to conduct thorough research on the Raid. Reaching wikis or watching detailed YouTube videos will be a great help for beating the Ultimate Raid and earning Ultimate Omega weaponry. 

Final Fantasy XIV is available on PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
