All Aloalo Island Variant Dungeon routes in FFXIV
FFXIV’s third Variant Dungeon, Aloalo Island, is now in the game as of patch 6.51. Just like the other Variant Dungeons, there are tons of different routes you can take in order to unlock the prize mount, Spectral Statice.
How to unlock Aloalo Island in FFXIV
To unlock Aloalo Island, go talk to the usual NPC (the Shallow Moor) in Old Sharlayan to start the quest “Stranger from Paradise.” You will need to have completed the following to unlock this quest:
- Main scenario quest “A Satrap’s Duty”
- A level 90 combat class
- Talk to Osmon in Old Sharlayan
For Alolalo Island specifically, you’ll need an item level of at least 605. Like other Variant Dungeons, you can do it solo or in a party with up to four people.
As with the other Variant Dungeons, if you take the same routes that Matsya suggests taking, you’ll get access to an extra coffer for a chance at more rewards.
Below, we list out how to unlock all 12 of the paths in Aloalo Island. Note that there are some things you can do that change boss mechanics, but have no bearing on the final result, so we do not list those things.
Path 1: A Not-quite Deserted Island
Path 2: The First Settlers of Aloalo Island
Path 3: God of Heaven and Sea
Path 4: A Noxious Gift
Path 5: The Roots of Arcanima
Path 6: Under the Boughs of the Great Tree
Path 7: A Dear Friend
Path 8: Fish for the Mind
Path 9: A Familiar History
Path 10: The Remnants of Faith
Path 11: A Lalafell or fish?
Path 12: Wellspring of Golden Memories
To do the ritual, stand in front of the respective statue in the small circle and do the following:
- Whale: Say “O messenger from beyond the horizon, hear me.” Do two clockwise laps around the statues, and then one counterclockwise lap. After doing the laps, do the /dance emote.
- Turtle: Say “O wayfarer of land and sea, hear me.” Do two counterclockwise laps around the statues. After doing the laps, use the /bow emote.
- Sparrow: Say “O dancer of the skies, hear me.” Use the /blowkiss emote. Do one clockwise lap around the statues. After the lap, use the /dance emote.
Once you say the line correctly, the statue will emit a lot glow. If you do full rituals correctly, the statues will light up brighter. Here’s a screenshot of us running the lap for the turtle statue (which we did last) for reference:
If the statues aren’t accepting your ritual, remember to paste or type the messages exactly as you see them into the “say” chat, including punctuation. Also make sure you’re standing in the circle in front of the statue.
After doing all of this, you’ll eventually meet up with the secret boss of the area to finish up path 12.
Aloalo Island rewards
The chests in Aloalo Island can reward Aloalo Potsherds, Triple Triad Cards of each of the bosses from their respective fights, and exclusive furnishing items. The meaty stuff that you’ll want from the chests is the Giant Leaf Parasol and the minions (Repulu and Uolosapa).
You can trade in the Aloalo Potsherds to Trisassant in Old Sharylan for the following:
- Free Spirit’s Hat (15 Potsherds)
- Free Spirit’s Jacket (27 Potsherds)
- Free Spirit’s Cropped Slops (12 Potsherds)
- Free Spirit’s Ringbands (9 Potsherds)
- Free Spirit’s Backless Loafers (9 Potsherds)
- O Speaker, Slumber Orchestrion Roll (9 Potsherds)
- Ballroom Etiquette - Humble Triumph (9 Potsherds)
- Statice’s Wings (3 Potsherds)
- Modern Aesthetics - The Bold and the Braid (6 Potsherds)
For completing all 12 routes of Aloalo Island, you’ll get the Spectral Statice mount, which you can claim from the achievements menu after getting the achievement “Good-willed Hunting.”
If you’ve finished Aloalo Island but want more, you can always try out the harder version of it, the Criterion Dungeon Another Aloalo Island. You can also backtrack to do the previous two Variant Dungeons, if you haven’t done them already: The Sil’dihn Subterrane and Mount Rokkon.
