What Is Aloalo Island
Aloalo Island is a new variant dungeon introduced in Final Fantasy XIV Patch 6.51. It is a level 90 dungeon that can be accessed after completing the main scenario quest, "The Final Days". In this dungeon, you will explore a mysterious island with your Matanga guide, Matsya, and encounter various enemies, puzzles, and secrets. Unlike other dungeons, Aloalo Island has multiple routes and endings that depend on the choices you make along the way. There are 12 possible routes, each with a different final boss and a different conservation record that you can earn in the V&C Dungeon Finder. Completing all 12 routes will reward you with a special achievement and a spectral statice mount.
How to Enter
To unlock Aloalo Island, you need to complete the quest "Aloalo Island Expedition" given by Pasasun at The Great Work in Thavnair. You will also need to have unlocked the V&C Dungeon Finder by completing the quest "The Variant Chronicles" given by V'kebbe at The Crystarium. Once you have both quests done, you can access Aloalo Island from the V&C Dungeon Finder menu.
All 12 Routes
The dungeon starts with a choice of three paths: left, middle, or right. Each path leads to a different area of the island and a different set of challenges. The left path takes you to a beach where you will encounter some pirates and a lalafell treasure hunter. The middle path takes you to a forest where you will encounter some wildlife and a miqo'te botanist. The right path takes you to a temple where you will encounter some ancient statues and a fairy. Depending on your actions and interactions in each area, you will unlock one of the 12 conservation records. Here is a brief summary of each record and how to get it:
• Conservation Record 1: A Not-quite Deserted Island. Follow the left path and tell Matsya to press on when he wants to fish. Let the enemies attack the lalafell until he runs away, then proceed to the final boss.
• Conservation Record 2: The First Settlers of Aloalo Island. Follow the left path and tell Matsya to press on when he wants to fish. Heal the lalafell and help him defeat the enemies, then proceed to the final boss.
