How to unlock the Demi-Ozma mount in Final Fantasy XIV

It's one of the most recognizable mounts in the game.

There’s no shortage of mounts in Final Fantasy XIV, but some are more unique than others. The Demi-Ozma is one of the most unique mounts in the game thanks to its ever-changing form feature that can’t be found anywhere else in the MMO.

The Demi-Ozma appears in different forms, from a small planet to a triangle or square form that seems to be a portal to another universe.

But it’s also a tough mount to unlock since it requires completing an entire area in the Stormblood expansion. The mount is unlocked upon completing the “We’re on Your Side I” achievement, which requires you to clear the Baldesion Arsenal, the latest boss of the Eureka region. Be warned: it’s no small feat. To reach this boss, you have to reach the maximum Elemental level of the area, which is set to 60.

To complete the achievement, unlock Eureka and complete the entire area, which is tougher now that Bozja has replaced it. But it’s still possible to get it after the Shadowbringers release.

Unlock Eureka to start your journey to getting the Demi-Ozma mount. There are a few requirements to pick up the unlocking quest: you need to reach level 70 in combat and complete Stormblood’s main scenario questline.

Once you meet the conditions, head to Rhalgr’s Reach and pick up the blue quest called “And we shall call it Eureka.” The NPC, Galiena, is located at X: 10, Y: 12.5. You have to complete every Eureka zone to reach the last one, which is required to get the achievement for the mount. Here is the list of the areas:

  • Eureka
  • Pagos
  • Pyros
  • Hydatos

How to get the We’re on Your Side I achievement

Once it’s unlocked, you want to gain experience fast in Eureka. To do that, read guides on how to get started best in the area to get adequate gear and tools, and keep an Eureka Tracker open to be aware of the spawning time of the various duties in the area.

It’s also a good idea to get food to earn three percent more experience and complete your challenge log tasks, which award significant amounts of XP. This shouldn’t be confusing if you have already stepped into the Bozja area. But otherwise, you’ll need to get accustomed to the particularities of those areas, which follow their own rules and leveling system.

The only issue with Eureka is that you need the help of others to complete the area, and the area usually lacks some activity. In this case, the best option is to find a community that hosts regular runs in Eureka to complete the content together, which will significantly quicken the process. Usually, the activity picks up around six months before the release of a new expansion.

The Baldesion Arsenal dungeon is the last fight of the Eureka area. It’ll take you a long farm to get there, and even when you’ve unlocked it, beating the dungeon is no small feat. You’ll need to join a group run by looking for a party in the game’s Finder or joining a dedicated community.

We recommend joining a Discord server run on your first try. It’s a difficult dungeon that requires solid coordination to be beaten, so you’ll have more chances of success with a shot-caller. Party runs are divided into several groups, and you’ll serve a specific function in your party.

Usually, communities give access to guides to complete the dungeon. We recommend this reading guide carefully and gathering the advised items before signing up for a run.
