Final Fantasy 14’s fifth expansion, Dawntrail, kicks off with a voyage to the New World of Tural. Your goal in Tural is to assist your new friend Wuk Lamat on her quest to become the peaceful ruler of Tural, the Dawnservent.
To prove herself worthy of the throne, Wuk Lamat will need help gathering seven keystones while retreading the Tuliyollal Saga as told by the current ruler, Gulool Ja Ja. After gathering the first two keystones, you’ll need to make your way along the Ihuykatumu river, the first dungeon of the expansion, to continue on your quest. Here’s our complete walkthrough for this dungeon.
How To Unlock Ihuykatumu
Ihuykatumu is a level 91 dungeon that is unlocked through the following Main Scenario Quest.
This quest will become available shortly after completing thesplit-path questsin which you gather thekeystones in Urqopacha and Kozama’uka. Once you’ve completed both and returned to Tuliyollal, “For All Turali” is only one short quest away.
Prime Punutiy
The first boss of Ihuykatumu is the Prime Punutiy. This fight is fairly straightforward, but there are a few attacks to keep an eye out for.
Punutiy Press
Roomwide AoE
Deals damage toall party members. Get ready to heal this damage.
Resurface
AoE
The Prime Punutiy will move to thewater side of the arenabefore performing alarge conal AoEto its front, dealingcontinuous damagefor a few seconds. Then, it will create aseries of different AoEsaround the arena, combining lines and circles of different sizes. Do your best to avoid this onslaught of AoEs.
Song of the Punutiy
Special/AoE
Summons four Punutiy of different sizes to each corner of the arena, which will thentether with each playerbeforetargeting them with an AoEthat depends on the size of the Punutiy.
Ultimately, the size of your Punutiy doesn’t matter, justmove all the way into your cornerof the arena to avoid overlapping your AoE with other players'. After the AoEs resolve, thePunutiy will become targetable; defeat them before returning your attention to the boss.
Shore Shaker
Consecutive AoE
A series ofthree consecutively larger ring AoEsthat detonate from the boss. Standjust outside the edge of the first AoEthen move into its newly created safe area to avoid all instances of this attack.
Resurfaceis definitely the most important attack to watch out for during this fight. Even when you know it’s coming, it can be difficult to avoid all of its AoEs. Still, if you watch carefully, you’ll be able to prioritize which ones to avoid first and make it through this attack.
Drowsie
The second boss is Drowsie, who uses attacks similar to Goobbues you may have faced in the past.
Sow/Drowsy Dance
Drowsie will summonfour vine tentaclesfacing different directions that will then perform aline AoE in the direction they are facing. Then, Drowsie will continue to dance,increasing the size of the vinesand thesubsequent line AoEs. Watch where the vines are facing and move accordingly to avoid taking damage.
Sneeze
Conal AoE
Deals damage in awide conal AoE to the front of the boss. Get behind Drowsie to avoid.
Spit
Summon
Drowsie will spit out severalmimic slimesthat will then transform into targetable enemies. Some of these enemies will then castFlagrant Spread, targeting an ally with acircle AoE. If you are targeted by one of these,move away from the rest of the partywhile you kill the rest of the mimic slimes.
The only attack to really be mindful of during this fight isSow and Drowsy Dance. The vine tentacle’s line AoEs can get pretty big, so you’ll need to be careful when dodging them. Other than that, Drowsie’s other mechanics should be easy to deal with.
Blade
Tankbuster
Dealshigh damage to the Tank. Afterfeeding on Sandwormslater in the fight, this attack willincrease in sizeandinflict Windburn, dealing damage over time. A secondring AoEwill then appear around the Tank, forcing all players tomove close to them.
High Wind
Several monsters will appear on the battlefield and start to attack Apollyon, who will then castHigh Wind, dealing damage to all party members and killing these other monsters. Then, it will begin to consume them,powering up Apollyon’s next attackdepending on the type of monster it consumed.
Swarming Locust/Blades of Famine
Line AoE
Apollyon will jump around the arena several times before performingfour line AoEsgoing in different directions. Find the safe spot and quickly move there to avoid this attack. Apollyon willperform this combo again.
Levinsickle
Deals damage infour circle AoEsbeforeleaving two of them behind. These two circles will then castoverlapping radial cone AoEs. Find the safe spot and move there to avoid both sets of AoEs.
Thunder III
AoE Markers
Targets all players with anAoE marker. Spread out to avoid overlapping these.
Razor Storm
Apollyon will jump to one side of the arena before performing amassive line AoE to its front, covering the majority of the arena. Quicklymove near the bossto avoid this attack.
Windwhistle
Summon/AoE
Summons atornado that slowly moves around the arena, periodically launchingline AoEsin several directions. Watch the path of the tornado and move accordingly every so often to avoid these AoEs.
There’s quite a bit to keep track of during this fight, but the attack most likely to trip you up isWindwhistle. The tornado can be unpredictable, especially if you’re focused on avoidingRazor GaleorThunder III. Luckily, the tornado’s line AoEs don’t deal the most damage, so you can survive behind hit once or twice.
However, they do inflictVulnerability Up, so you’ll want to do your best to avoid them regardless.
Once you’ve defeated Apollyon, the dungeon will be complete! Open up the chests on the way out and continue through the MSQ.
