Square Enix has launched Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.35, which adds fresh endgame challenges, a highly anticipated crossover with Monster Hunter Wilds, and a new deep dungeon.
With the launch of Patch 7.35, players can now undertake “The White Wanderer” questline, challenge Guardian Arkveld in two new trials, and earn exclusive Veldian-themed weapons and rewards.
Additionally, the new Deep Dungeon Pilgrim’s Traverse invites players to face 100 floors of enemies and bosses with an evolving aetherpool system, alongside new difficulty options under the “Quantum” tier.
Final Fantasy XIV x Monster Hunter Wilds
Monster Hunter Wilds players are getting their share of crossover fun with Omega Planetes, a new Final Fantasy-inspired raid boss, and the return of Gogmazios later this year.
The Final Fantasy XIV Patch 7.35 introduces Pilgrim’s Traverse, a stunning new 100-floor-deep dungeon set in Il Mheg’s Church of the First Light.
It’s both visually impressive and mechanically fresh, with new checkpoints, solo options, and the challenging Quantum Mode.
Players with Level 91+ combat jobs can enter after clearing floor 50 of the Palace of the Dead. According to the developer company, rewards include Fae-themed mounts, colourful minions, and elegant glamour items.
Patch 7.35 also continues the fan-favourite Hildibrand Saga with a new chapter, “The Case of the Fiendish Fugitives”. Players can expect the same blend of humour and chaos that the series is known for.
Crafters get new Yok Huy Allied Society quests in Urqopacha, featuring daily missions and exclusive items. PvP fans are seeing balance tweaks as Season 16 ends and Series 9 begins with new cosmetics.
