It has been a long time since a surprise trial was added to Final Fantasy XIV. Endwalker‘s Patch 6.55 comes with a ton of new story content to lead players into the next expansion, Dawntrail. Furthermore, the Hildibrand saga culminates in a thrilling conclusion and a new trial featuring Asura. The Gilded Araya is not hard to unlock if you have been keeping up with the ridiculous gentleman Manderville’s quest. Let’s discuss how to unlock the Gilded Araya trial in FFXIV.
