The weather here is normally clouds, but we can explore one more thing. The final room here, out of bounds, when we select and INVALID weather. It creates this stark skylight with some amazing geometric shapes, even godrays coming down.

If you fly around, you'll spot a purple orb. This is your entrance to phase two of the final fight. Anima's dimension. In here we have an utterly gorgeous platform, pulsating with a vicious glow. Alongside chains on a nice skybox. Look up and look down. These chains are gorgeous backdrops.

Lastly, let's look at Hyperborea. There are two locations here inaccessible in explorer mode, one semi-uninteresting one, one worth noting. First, the train platform from the story quest. It's similar to the one in dungeon, but lacks the connecting area.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 3h

And of course, Anima is easy enough to spawn in. Both top and bottom are connected here so play around with him. I still remember when Seymour killed his mom. God this Aeon is absolutely tragic.

I implore you to take a moment to look around here. The foreboding escapes just the arena. Destroyed castle like structures overtaken by the centipedes. A tower stretching farther into the Heavens. And if you look behind you, a doorway that looks almost like a head screaming. You see it, no?

150

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 3h

Then there's the walkway to Anima. Cocoons line the walls, the floor is rusted and dirty and a foreboding red glow echoes in the area. God, how you teased me into thinking this would be a fantastic trial SE, and I'll never forgive you for it. It screams grief and it screams pain.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 3h

I do love me some lore. The light on the elevator platform is phenomenal and it'd be a shame not to point out just how intricate the textures and patterns are on the floor. But have you ever looked behind it? A destroyed, decrepit Garlean Throne. The story this location tells visually.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 3h

I also want to highlight the view through the broken skylights in this area. Easy to miss on your actual run-through, but looking up is especially eerie. A well positioned camera could use this as a rather insane backdrop, but don't worry, there's more of this to come.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 3h

This is where it gets interesting. Did you know I like spiders? I think they're cool. What's not cool? Fucking. Centipedes. And here they are! Robotic, everywhere, choking out the location in a nasty way. But, especially spooky for the season. Blue lights scattered to really show the nasty.

Perhaps I should've waited for the FF7 event to show off this location. Alas, keep it in mind when the time comes! (How will typing work on PS5 and Switch?) The elevator is a bit uninteresting imo. It doesn't move, so all we have is the blue glow on these platforms and the view to the next room.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 3h

We'll start by looking at what's possible in explorer mode. Starting out on our adventure through this tragic hellscape, we get on a train, blasting to the tower. This area is fully explorable and a keen eye may even notice some Magitek off in the distance. Midgar reference anyone?

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 3h

I may have gone a little above and beyond in that placeholder image, spawning in Anima and everything. But I'm an FFX fan, can you blame me? Also, bonus points to whoever sees and understands the words in the post above. The name of this dungeon always stood out to me.

Hiya Aeryn! You knew I'd come around. Kaiyle is hard to pinpoint, I feel like light suits her best, but if I'm thinking of her in a gacha game, fire or wood would fit well i think! I use our photo for bonus points :p You know me and we're friends so feel free to pick others but I'm here if uwant!

Also a fun mention here that in the final area of the dungeon, the skybox can be edited fully! Mess with the clouds and sky. You can get some really cool combinations! Plus, the lights in the sky change with those edits! It's getting colder, a dark dungeon serves this time of year well. Have fun!

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

Lastly, this brings us to the final boss room. While not one of normal note for me, I never found it too memorable, I had some fun getting up close to the iridescent flowers here. I feel like this is a flower field not normally used, and it looks really cool.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

Ah the moment we all know so well, the outside of Troia. This area, while dark, is utterly gorgeous. The lighting here is phenomenal and it's such a memorable piece of this dungeon. I highly recommend for non-vanilla to check out some areas you can't normally access. They're just as gorgeous.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

The second boss room is hard to miss. I'm sure many of us have some pictures on this throne already so it's important to point out. However, I never took notice of the statues here and I absolutely love them. I can see so much potential in posing around these guys. And of course, our exit stairs.

130

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

We are then lead into the banquet room followed by the walkway to the second boss, an exposed walkway with what almost looks like an unused arena in the middle. I love the statues here, robed and trying to climb up towards the castle. I just really wish the partition wasn't blocking them.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

The room after the sphinx is one I never looked at too clearly. We have this very interesting room full of paintings. Some still visible but a few with a fog and faces scratched out. I always like this kind of vibe so I thought it would be good to bring some attention to it.

110

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

There's lots to see in this second area, I could barely shoot it all. Right behind where we spawn is this gorgeous doorway looking out over the 13th, leading us to a staircase into the castle with another gorgeous blue wall and this strange sphinx statue in a farther room.

As we leave the first boss room, we get to one of the most scenic locations from this dungeon. A nice effect showing us where we're going, but a castle we can pose with off in the distance. Our titlecard image for this week.

110

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

As soon as we get into this instance, we begin in the dungeons of the castle. Walking into strange curving hallways and exited out in dark rooms with chains and cells, only to be lit by small candelabras. The wall also has this cool blue magic effect in certain areas which can be fun to pose with.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 28/09/2026

Tonight we head into The Fell Court of Troia, the beginning of Endwalker's post-expansion content and one of the cooler dungeons we got in the set. Based on FFXIV's 13th and the original FF4, there's a lot of cool stuff here. Both explorer mode and hyper work to the same effect here.

Totempole! Did you know I have three OCs? I mostly pose one of them but I like to use the others as stand-ins time to time. There's Kaiyle of course, Eris the Miqo, who you may have seen before, and Ayva, a fairly new Au Ra! #FFXIV | #Kaiyle | #Viera | #GPOSERS

Kaiyle, Eris and Ayva are stacked on top of eachother. They are wearing blue, red and green respectively and is a reference to the Totem Pole mechanic in The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes. They are all expressing emotes from the game.

Lastly, we get to our last boss room. Open insect nests and eerie green poison spewing all over the place. This was always a memorable moments of ARR for me, it felt so different to everything that came before it. Like the first true boss room we've seen in our adventure.

140

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 14/09/2026

The boss rooms aren't much to write home about here, outside of the last, but as we go further in we see more of the diremite nests alongside some nice yellow plants that juxtapose them. The light leaks also change color to a cool blue here.

120

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 14/09/2026

After the first boss we get to my favorite new room in this place. It's an open field in the middle of a cave. On a slight slant unfortunately, but we still have the light trailing down from up above.

As we turn the bed, we get into a beautiful room with water trailing down, then open into a room with branches and trees reaching a canopy with our green light streaks trailing down.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 14/09/2026

While the location is simple, let me share some of the gorgeous sweeping shots I got walking through here. This cave gives me old adventure vibes and really fits the new beastmaster concept as a whole. Right off the bat we're treated to a gorgeous view leading us in.

Kaiyle Lumiose @kaiylelumiose.com · 14/09/2026

As always, accessing this location is easy as pie. Simply go in explorer mode or unrestricted into the dungeon itself. Ever since they fixed this up with Duty Support and changed the dungeon, this got a whole new look with some gorgeous light leaks!
