It's a long and intense questline.

As the second released expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, Stormblood brought many stories to life and new lands to explore, such as Kugane and the Ruby Sea.

In those lands, one quest series called the Four Lords will bring players on an adventure through those lands. They will face new bosses and explore dungeons to complete it.

This quest series has also become a requirement to unlock “Tataru’s Grand Endeavor” next quests, which will be released alongside Patch 6.3 on Jan.10, 2023.

Here is how to pick up and complete the Four Lord quest series in FFXIV‘s Stormblood.

The Four Lord quest series requires a minimum level of 70 and the completion of most post-Stormblood Story Quests to be picked up.
