Introduction

The skies over Thavnair are aflame, and panic spreads through the populace like wildfire. One by one, civilians are twisted into grotesque fiends, hells-bent on slaughtering everything in sight. The deadliest of these creatures leads its newly spawned kin through the jungle, towards a number of smaller settlements, and as such, Ahewann has dispatched his Radiant Host to forestall the carnage. Though Vrtra, too, lends his strength to the cause, even that may prove insufficient, and thus do the Scions enter the fray.

1.1.

Unlock Vanaspati

Vanaspati can be unlocked at level 85 during the main scenario quest "Skies Aflame." It is the third dungeon players will encounter in Endwalker. Players above level 86 will be level synced to level 86 when entering, and there is a minimum item level restriction of 510 to enter.

  • Mouth Off will spawn mouthes across the arena. If the mouth is open, it will do a large circular AoE soon afterwards.
  • Last Gasp is a tank buster.
  • Mouth Off will be accompanied by either What is Left or What is Right. These are half-room cleaves hitting the left and right respectively. Dodge to a safe spot for both mechanics.
  • Lost Hope will inflict all players with Temporary Misdirection. This will put a spinning cursor above your head, and the direction you walk in is the direction the cursor is facing. You can rapidly tap a movement input to quickly ascertain a direction.

    • If it is a knockback, get knocked back to the safe row.
  • Gnashing of Teeth is a tank buster.
