Players of Final Fantasy XIV can now face what is probably the final Trial of Endwalker, as Patch 6.5 is most likely the last major patch before the release of the upcoming Dawntrail expansion. As is customary with the Trials of each expansion, Warriors of Light who have collected each mount rewarded from their Extreme difficulties have yet another waiting for them – the Apocryphal Bahamut.
Since A Realm Reborn, chests rewarded after the completion of its Extreme Trials have the chance to drop a rare mount, their themes varying with each expansion. While these high-end Trials aren't as tricky as Savage Raids, you shouldn't take them lightly. Extreme Trials still demand coordination and mastery of mechanics, as they have a sharp difficulty curve compared to their base versions.
Reward for collecting all Lynx mounts in FFXIV
Endwalker continues the trend of potentially rewarding a mount after completing its Extreme Trials in the form of various lynx mounts. With the release of The Abyssal Fracture in Patch 6.5, players can now obtain the seventh and final lynx of the expansion.
Here are all seven mounts rewarded from Endwalker's Extreme Trials:
| Mount | Source |
| Lynx Of Eternal Darkness | The Minstrel's Ballad: Zodiark's Fall |
| Lynx Of Divine Light | The Minstrel's Ballad: Hydaelyn's Call |
| Bluefeather Lynx | The Minstrel's Ballad: Endsinger's Aria |
| Lynx Of Imperious Wind | Storm's Crown (Extreme) |
| Lynx Of Righteous Fire | Mount Ordeals (Extreme) |
| Lynx Of Fallen Shadow | The Voidcast Dais (Extreme) |
| Lynx Of Abyssal Grief | The Abyssal Fracture (Extreme) |
Players who have completed the Main Scenario Quest "Down in the Dark" and have all seven lynx mounts in their collections can speak to Singingway in Old Sharlayan (X: 12, Y: 10) to take the quest "Wings of Hope." Following the steps of the short quest will reward you with the Apocryphal Bahamut horn that adds a version of the legendary wyrm, Bahamut, to your collection. This Bahamut, however, carries you on a sofa because nothing is more important than comfort.
While the Apocryphal Bahamut doesn't fit aesthetically as the reward for collecting lynxes, it's still more than suitable after putting in the required work to get it. The mount's design is based on art created by Yoshitaka Amano, who has worked on character designs, logos, and various illustrations for the Final Fantasy franchise for many years. Since Endwalker gave fans around the world a fitting end to a storyline that has been evolving over the last decade, it's appropriate that its final Trial mount pays homage to the entries in the Final Fantasy series that came before it.
