Loading screen description

Adventurer from Another World (異世界の冒険者, Isekai no Bōkensha?) is a collaboration quest with Final Fantasy XIV added in patch 1.27 in December 2018 to Final Fantasy XV. It appears purple in the quest list, same as Close Encounter of the Terra Kind; however, like other sidequests, it can be completed once per playthrough of the game. The player must complete the main quest and objective "The Hexatheon's Blessings: Touch the first runestone" from Chapter 5 before it becomes available.

Noctis embarks on a journey with a Miqo'te called Y'jhimei who has come to Eos from Eorzea. Players who complete the quest receive 2,000 EXP, Final Fantasy XIV-themed attires and a new summon, as well as the ability to trade items for new ultimate weapons. Because it is a collaboration quest, the graphics use the same stylization as Final Fantasy XIV, such as the "Accepted" text for taking on a quest and the boss battle being referred to as a "Duty".

After completing the quest, the credits of the FFXV x FFXIV collaboration can be accessed by interacting with the Fat Chocobo.

The recommended level for the quest is 45 (same as for the final boss). There is no day and night cycle during the Perpetouss Keep part of the quest.

Quest[]

Although listed in the Quest menu, completing "Adventurer from Another World" is not considered completion of a quest for the purposes of Cid Sophiar's weapon modifications.

To start the quest, the player must head to Cauthess Rest Area. The player can fast-travel there if they have visited the location previously, and the quest starts as soon as the location loads. The retinue hears a voice and follows it to the warehouse where they find Y'jhimei stuck under a gargantuan chocobo. The party must go to Wiz Chocobo Post to buy Premium Gysahl Greens from the kiosk (they cost 500 gil and the player can only buy one) and give them to the chocobo to free Y'jhimei. She heads off to Perpetouss Keep where the party is to follow.

The player can now enter the keep by approaching the gate. Y'jhimei wants Noctis to follow her to her vantage point high above the keep, and the player must make their way to her. The player must make their way to her by jumping over and onto various structures. If they fall, the player can point-warp back to approximately where they fell and continue.

When catching up with Y'jhimei, the player must scout the area with binoculars to pinpoint points of interest before they can continue: the fenced off statue on the left side of the vantage point, the spherical teleporter at the right hand corner and a worshiping Ixal by the crystal formations (the crosshair needs to home in on the Ixal).

Besides these required points of interest, the player can also observe other minutiae, such as security bots patrolling at the back and a Kenny Crow statue.

After finding the points of interest Noctis and Y'jhimei regroup with Gladiolus, Ignis and Prompto and need to visit the previously pointed points of interest. Y'jhimei accompanies the party as a guest but she does not appear in the menu or in the user interface, and thus has no HP value or other visible stats or equipment.

The statue is the first point of interest to investigate. The player can open the gate at the front of them after regaining the use of Noctis after rejoining with the others to initiate a battle against spherical security robots, Mortar Systems. Y'jhimei stands aside a uses healing magic to aid the party. The bots do not attack but explode when defeated, which is easily done via warp-strikes.

After the battle the party investigates the statue of a Messenger of the Winds, which Y'jhimei says has a strange power emanating from within and Ignis explains it depicts the mysterious Messenger of the Winds whose very existence has been contested. The player is next to investigate the teleporter, having noted that the beastmen have taken over the base with no imperials in sight. The party observes the Meteorshards the Ixali are worshiping when they pass them.

On the way, going past various containers to a building, the player can pick up various healing items. The building has a message regarding an automatic magitek armor and inside a warehouse find a log on devising autonomous magitek armors. Outside, the party encounters more Mortar Systems and an Attack Node, which projects red laser beams. Opening the gate pits the party against a Level 10 MA-X Patria accompanied by more security bots. After defeating them, the player can approach the teleporter. Y'jhimei reveals she was the one who brought the Ixal to Eos, though by accident. Next to the next gate is a control room where the player can read a withdrawal order and pick up a Megalixir. Using the console unlocks all gates.

The way leads back to the beginning where they discover Y'jhimei's chocobo, whom Prompto names Mr. Chunkobo. Opening the gate leads to the boss battle against Garuda. The player simply needs to last until she destroys all meteorshards and the Messenger of the Winds is summoned, ending the battle and earning the player 2,500 EXP, Garuda as a summon and various Final Fantasy XIV-themed attires for the party to wear. The player can now fight the "proper" battle against a Lv.120 Garuda and use the trading post to get new superior weapons. The player can explore the Perpetouss Keep but it is void of enemies or events, though the player can still collect any items they may have missed, read the various logs scattered about the premises, and collect the Allagan Tomestones.

Items[]

Unlike in the other "bonus quest" Close Encounter of the Terra Kind, the player keeps their normal inventory for the quest and the items discovered during the quest can be kept afterward.

Collecting Allagan Tomestones[]

A recording medium used in the ancient Allagan Empire of another world. Adventurers risk life and limb to collect these stones as a type of currency.

Description

Allagan Tomestones are items found in batches of 30 within the Perpetouss Keep used for trading in Y'jhimei's trading post after defeating Garuda. The player can find three batches of 30 tomestones for a total of 90 per playthrough of the quest. The tomestones can also be obtained by defeating the boss Garuda; however, this only yields them one at a time, making collecting them from the Keep the superior method.

Final_Fantasy_XV_×_Final_Fantasy_XIV-Collaboration_Allagan_Tomestone_All_Location

Final Fantasy XV × Final Fantasy XIV-Collaboration Allagan Tomestone All Location

The player can find a batch of 30 tomestones by going past the statue of the Messenger of the Winds, up the stairs and jumping onto a ledge from the top, crossing the crates on the middle of the ledge, and dropping down on the ground level. The tomestones are in the middle of this secluded area amid shipping containers that is only reached from dropping in from above.

Another batch of 30 tomestones can be found by climbing the stairs (the same stairs as previous batch) in the top left corner of the in-game map. At the top, the player can jump onto a ledge and climb on top of the crates stacked in the middle of the ledge to see there is another, even higher ledge up ahead along the top border of the map. To get there, the player needs to take a running jump from the crates and use the warp button at the apex of their leap. This ledge has a hole in the middle. The player needs to jump into the hole and then use warp immediately after falling past the structure to get to another ledge with crates that act as stairs to another ledge above it that contains the tomestones. The only way to get there is to climb the crates on the ledge below.

Another batch of 30 tomestones can be picked up on top of a structure covered in gray tarpaulin. The structure is near the crane area where Y'jhimei and Noctis used to survey the Keep at the start of the quest. There are two tarpaulin structures and the tomestones batch is on the same structure as the one with the green frog. There are two methods of picking up this batch: from the ground level or from atop the crane.

  1. From the ground level, the player needs to locate the tarpaulin structure with the frog and go to the side of the tarpaulin where there is a fence near it. One must position Noctis so that he is just a short distance behind the long sewer cover on the ground. While running through the sewer cover, the player needs to jump and warp forward. With Noctis facing the correct angle, and at the right timing, Noctis shall land on the tarpaulin (sometimes he may land just on the edge, so it is best to not move when Noctis is about to land).
  2. From atop the crane, the player needs to jump onto the wooden box next to the crane as during the start of the quest. The player can see the structures covered in gray tarpaulin on the ground level below, and the tomestones batch is on top of one of them. The player needs to drop down from the crate suspended by the crane, and then warp forward once during the free fall to land on the tarpaulin.

Farming Allagan Tomestones[]

After the quest is complete, the player can repeatedly defeat the boss Garuda and obtain 1x Allagan Tomestone each time.

If the player uses New Game Plus or Chapter Select to restart the quest, they will lose all Allagan Tomestones and Vortex Feathers in their inventory. However, items obtained from Y'jhimei's trading post will be retained. It's recommended not to use New Game Plus or Chapter Select (which resets all other sidequests) to collect more Allagan Tomestones since restarting the quest is not needed to collect all the worthwhile items. If the player plans to restart the quest, it is advised to restart the quest only once all Allagan Tomestones have been redeemed.

After finishing the quest, Y'jhimei opens a trade post at Perpetouss Keep where the player can trade for new ultimate weapons. The player can purchase each weapon once. The player can procure the Vortex Feathers and Allagan Tomestones needed from the quest itself (Vortex Feathers by breaking the Garuda's wings and Allagan Tomestones found in groupings of 30 from Perpetouss Keep [see above] and obtained by defeating the boss Garuda). The other items are obtained from elsewhere in the game. The player needs to hold down the confirm button to full a gauge to make the trade, simply tapping it like usual does not work.

Behind the scenes[]

The player can read various logs around the base on what went on there before it was abandoned. The keep has various colored frogs not seen elsewhere in Lucis. According to Sania Yeagre, frogs have been mutating especially rapidly lately. There are also cats inside Perpetouss Keep during the quest. The talk icon appears when near them, but the player can't further interact with them. Interacting with Y'jhimei's chocobo gives a prompt to view the credits, which can't be skipped once initiated. During the ending credits to the quest, Y'jhimei lies on the ground with a cat sitting on her back and Prompto may take a photo of this scene for the player's album.

The MA-X Patria fought at the keep is noted to being pilotless on a warning sign and as per a log left by a researcher in a warehouse. Whether all such MA are pilotless is unknown. However, when the player fights it as a mini boss, they can hear the Ixal talk over the intercom, implying they are piloting it, saying things like "confusing these buttons are" (although this dialogue is not subtitled and thus can be hard to discern amid the heat of battle).
