The indomitable will of the earth made manifest, beloved of the kobold clans.
Compassionate and gentle, Titan is as a father to his tunnel-dwelling worshippers. But woe betide those fool enough to provoke this colossus─for when his anger is waked, the very earth trembles and heaves under the unstoppable fury of his mountainous bulk.Official Site description
Titan is the primal of the Kobold beast-tribes in Final Fantasy XIV, also known as the Lord of Crags (岩神, Ganshin?). He is encountered as a boss a number of times in A Realm Reborn.
Though Titan, along with Leviathan, were originally planned to appear in Version 1.0, due to real-life circumstances they did not debut until the game was rebooted as A Realm Reborn.
History[]
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn[]
Titan awakened shortly after the Warrior of Light investigated the incidents at Haukke Manor. Meeting with Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn at Maelstrom headquarters, she admitted to both the adventurer and Y'shtola that she had broken the treaty with the Kobolds as part of the efforts to rebuild after the Calamity, which prompted the primal's summoning.
Seeking out of the Company of Heroes who slew the Lord of Crags when he was first summoned years ago, the veteran members set up a long list of minor tasks—culminating in a banquet for Master Gegeruju—to test the adventurer's resolve in defeating the primal. After learning all the crucial information needed, Y'shtola rigged an Aetheryte set up by Kobolds in Upper La Noscea to access the Navel where the god of the Kobolds awaited.
Upon entering the vast underground chamber, the Lord of Crags chastised the Warrior of Light for ignoring the pleas of his children, before noticing that Ifrit has already been slain. Condemning the sons of man, Titan engaged the adventurer before being banished back to aether. As they turned to leave, Y'shtola noticed several Garlean officers spying on the fight.
Titan returned at the Howling Eye, where Garuda's forces captured Kolbolds and Amalj'aa to summon him and Ifrit under torture so that Gaius van Baelsar could have the Ultima Weapon absorb the three primals one by one. Following the Ultima Weapon's destruction, the Kobolds summoned Titan once more before the Warrior of Light used the Aetheryte set up in U'ghamoro Mines to banish the primal once again. As the adventurer discovered a mysterious ritual focus, the Kobolds continued their attempts to summon Titan in their despair, urged by the Ascians to conjure a primal with greater amounts of aether.
Titan was summoned again when the second Order Patriarch Za Da began to sacrifice his own people to summon their god, but the primal was made manifest by the despair-filled emotions of a Koboldling named Ga Bu who had been unable save his parents from being slaughtered.[1] Titan acted on Ga Bu's feelings of rage and attacked human and Kobold alike before being defeated by the Warrior of Light once more.
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker[]
When the party used the airship Ragnarok to reach Ultima Thule, the Beast Tribes summon benevolent iterations of their Primals using the Mothercrystal, with Titan being one of the ten summoned. He gives his power to the Ragnarok, allowing it to achieve the propulsion needed for the Scions to reach their destination.
Gameplay[]
Boss[]
Titan is fought as a boss three times at The Navel: first midway through the main scenario, then in a Hard version in a sidequest, and finally an optional Extreme battle. While the latter two versions are fought at level 50 with a full party of eight, the initial storyline fight is at level 34 with only four players.
Titan later appears as one of the bosses in The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate), and again in Eden's Gate: Sepulture.
Summon[]
The Summoner job can summon Titan-Egi, casting Rock Buster upon being summoned, and empower their spells with the earth element. It is unlocked in the Level 35 job quest "Austerities of Earth," after defeating the Egi. It replaces Topaz Carbuncle. Upon learning the trait Enkindle at level 50, Rock Buster is replaced with Earthen Fury. After level 90, Topaz Titan replaces Titan-Egi and casts a stronger version of Earthen Fury.

Etymology[]
Titans (οἱ Τῑτᾶνες, hoi Tītânes) were members of the second order of divine beings in Greek mythology. They were descendants of the primordial deities born from the Chaos, and they preceded the gods of Olympus, who went on to overthrow them. He is named after the recurring earth-elemental summon in the Final Fantasy series.
