How To Unlock The Spectral Statice Mount
The Spectral Statice mount might serve as an incentive for players to explore new content to the fullest. In this case, it involves one of the variant dungeons added toFinal Fantasy 14during theEndwalkerexpansion. While they can be interesting on their own, each dungeon offers interesting rewards. These can include unique mounts that players can unlock after meeting specific criteria, which is precisely the case for the Spectral Statice mount.
Unlocking Aloalo Island
To get this mount, you’ll need to venture toAloalo Island. To unlock the specific dungeon, it is necessary to complete a quest that will allow you to unlock every variant dungeon separately. This quest,“An Odd Job,“is a level 90 quest that completes itself when the player picks it up. Find it by speaking to the NPCOsmon (X: 12, Y: 13.4) in Old Sharlayan, andit will unlock variant and criterion dungeons.
This quest will only be available once the level 90 MSQ “Endwalker” has been completed.
After that, you’ll need to reach level 90 MSQ"A Satrap’s Duty,“as it is one of the requirements to unlock Aloalo Island. Once this quest and “An Odd Job” are both completed, you may pick up the level 90quest"Stranger from Paradise"with the NPC Shallow Moor (X: 12.0, Y: 13.3).After the quest is initiated, it will direct you to follow a few steps, then will make Aloalo Island available. You must complete this dungeon to finish the quest.
The Aloalo Island Dungeon can be found in the V&C Dungeon Finder, accessed through the Duty menu.
Variant dungeons can be played solo or in groups of up to four players, and there are no job restrictions.The level of difficultyis the same as presented in the game’s story mode, adjusted to the number of players. The concept of these dungeons is that players can explore different paths, depending on their actions and random events. This can even lead to bosses using different mechanics during a fight, on top of changing the route itself.
Completing some of the paths will add lore excerpts to the V&C Dungeon Finder. These can have hints to unlock other entries, find secret bosses, and solve puzzles, on top of telling some more of the story related to that dungeon. There are twelve entries for each variant dungeon, which is essential to the Spectral Statice mount.You’ll need to unlock all twelve excerpts of Aloalo Island to unlock the mount.

In the chamber with the three statues, things will get a little more complex, as this path requires a puzzle of sorts. You’ll need to perform the rituals described in the Conservation Records in front of each of the three statues, in any order you prefer.

Standing in front of the Sparrow statue:
The statues will glow when the ritual starts, as well as a blue circle in front of the statue, which is where each lap will begin and end. Onlythe player with the buffcan complete the ritual. If you fail or take too long, you’re able to start again by standing in front of the statue and saying the appropriate line. Don’t forget to add the commas and periods in each phrase.
After the three rituals are completed, a new path will open in the center of the room. Follow Matsya into it to proceed.
Once each entry is unlocked (regardless of the order in which each path is completed), you’ll receive the achievement"Good-willed Hunting”, which will grant you the Spectral Statice mount. Claim it through the achievement page, and the whistle will go to your inventory.
