Final Fantasy XIV features a few distinctive mounts that evoke the ethereal beauty of jellyfish. These are typically characterized by their bell-shaped bodies and flowing tendrils, offering players a graceful and otherworldly mode of transportation.
Key Jellyfish-style Mounts and Acquisition
Below are prominent mounts that fit the jellyfish aesthetic, along with details on how to obtain them:
-
Forgiven Reticence
This mount is a spectral, multi-eyed creature strongly resembling a jellyfish with a large, translucent bell and numerous trailing tentacles. It possesses a unique, serene floating animation.
- Source: Purchased from Clan Nutsy vendors.
- Location: Eulmore (X:10.2, Y:11.8) or The Crystarium (X:9.8, Y:9.6).
- Currency: 3,200 Sacks of Nuts.
- Expansion: Shadowbringers.
- Note: Requires completion of the Shadowbringers main scenario and unlocking of Clan Nutsy Hunts. Sacks of Nuts are earned by completing daily and weekly hunt bills for Shadowbringers A and S rank elite marks.
-
Syldrion
While technically a unique species within the game's lore, Syldrion's appearance is strikingly jellyfish-like. It features a large, luminous, bell-shaped body with long, flowing, ethereal tendrils that trail behind it.
- Source: Automatically obtained during the Endwalker Main Scenario Questline.
- Quest: "Thou Must Live, Die, and Know" (Level 88).
- Expansion: Endwalker.
- Note: This mount is a story reward and cannot be missed if progressing through the Endwalker MSQ. It is essential for navigating specific areas within the Mare Lamentorum.
-
Private Pachypodium
This unique mount from the Island Sanctuary content, though botanically named, has a very distinct jellyfish-like silhouette. It features a large, domed, plant-based "bell" and dangling roots that create the impression of tentacles as it floats.
- Source: Reward for achieving Rank 20 in your Island Sanctuary.
- Expansion: Endwalker (Island Sanctuary feature introduced in Patch 6.2).
- Note: Obtaining this mount requires significant time and effort dedicated to developing your Island Sanctuary, including gathering materials, constructing buildings, and cultivating crops and pastures.
These mounts are highly sought after for their unique designs. The Forgiven Reticence offers the most traditional ghostly jellyfish appearance, while Syldrion and Private Pachypodium provide thematic alternatives with similar graceful, floating aesthetics.
