Final Fantasy XIV's Shadowbringers expansion is nearing its end, but there are still tons of mounts, minions, and weapons to collect and find. If you're looking for a new challenging mount to work for, look no further than the Landerwaffe, introduced in patch 5.5.

The Landerwaffe is the "capstone" mount of the Shadowbringers expansion, and can only be obtained after you've bested every extreme trial from the expansion and collected their mounts. Getting the Landerwaffe will be a long and difficult process, but this mechanical dragon is a mount you won't want to miss. Let's take a look at which trials drop the mounts you need, and where you can find the quests to unlock them.

Pre-Requisite Mounts Needed To Get The Landerwaffe

There are a total of seven mounts you must acquire in order to unlock the quest that awards Landerwaffe. These mounts drop from the extreme versions of the Shadowbringers trials.

The trials, mounts, and their unlock quests are as follows:

  • The Dancing Plague (Extreme) - Fae Gwiber Unlock Quest: "Minstrel from Another Mother" given by Minstreling Wanderer in The Crystarium (x:7.5, y:12.5)
  • The Crown of the Immaculate (Extreme) - Innocent Gwiber Unlock Quest: "Minstrel from Another Mother" given by Minstreling Wanderer in The Crystarium (x:7.5, y:12.5)
  • Minstrel's Ballad: Hade's Elegy - Shadow Gwiber Unlock Quest: "Minstrel from Another Mother" given by Minstreling Wanderer in The Crystarium (x:7.5, y:12.5)
  • Cinder Drift (Extreme) - Ruby Gwiber Unlock Quest: "Minstrel from Another Mother" given by Minstreling Wanderer in The Crystarium (x:7.5, y:12.5)
  • The Seat of Sacrifice (Extreme) - Gwiber of Light Unlock Quest: "Minstrel from Another Mother" given by Minstreling Wanderer in The Crystarium (x:7.5, y:12.5)
  • Castrum Marinum (Extreme) - Emerald Gwiber Unlock Quest "Warmachina Fanatic" given by Warmachina Fanatic in The Lochs (x:11.6, y:22.6)
  • The Cloud Deck (Extreme) - Diamond Gwiber Unlock Quest "Warmachina Fanatic" given by Warmachina Fanatic in The Lochs (x:11.6, y:22.6)

These trials are the most recent added to the game, and require you to be level 80 and have completed most of the main story quests.

The mounts have a low drop rate from each trial, but can also be traded for 99 of the trial's unique totem. For example, if you gather 99 Diamond Totems, you can trade them for the Diamond Gwiber mount directly.

  • The NPC to trade the Fae Gwiber, Innocent Gwiber, Shadow Gwiber, and Gwiber of Light is Fathard in Eulmore (x:10.2, y:11.7).
  • The NPC to trade the Ruby, Emerald and Diamond Gwibers is C'intana in Mor Dhona (x:22.7, y:6.7).

Because these extreme trials are level 80, there is currently no "easy method" for obtaining these mounts. You'll have to do it the old fashioned way and learn the fight with a group of other players, and hope you eventually get the mount to drop.

The Dragon Made Quest

Once you have all seven Gwiber mounts, you can accept the quest "The Dragon Made". This quest is given by Warmachina Fanatic in The Lochs (x:11.5, y:22.5), who will send you to search for the wyrm-machine in Azys Lla.

After reaching the destination, a cutscene will play, and then you will be sent to the Flagship to blow the Landerwaffe flute and obtain the mount.
