How to unlock the FFXIV Arkasodara Tribal Quests

Final Fantasy XIV continues its tribe quests with the Arkasodara, and in Patch 6.55 you’ll have new Tribal Alliance quests to complete. With that in mind, it’s time to catch up on Endwalker’s tribe dailies. Here’s how to unlock Arkasodara Tribal Quests — once knowꦫn as Beast Tribes — and the preliminary requi𝓰rements.

As a reminder, previous FFXIV Allied Tribal quests required max reputation rank with all tribes to unlock them. If you want to begin the Allied Tribal questline in Endwalker’s Patch 6.55, you’ll need to unlock and reach the Sworn Rank with the Arkasodara, as mentioned here. The same goes for the Loporrits and the Omicron.

FFXIV’s Arkasodara, at a glance

You’ll find the Arkasodara within the idyllic surroundings of Thavnair, with the ‘base camp’ of the tribe just northwest of Yedlihmad. They’re a tribe for your battle jobs, so if you’ve got any jobs below level 90, their quests are an excellent way to help level them in preparation for the level cap increase coming with Dawntrail. 

Unlocking the Arkasodara Tribe quests

As with the Beast Tribes in any expansion, there are some requirements that you must meet to begi🦄n your adventures with the Arkasodara. ;

• Complete the level 90 main scenario quest titled “Endwalker”
• Have at least one job at level 80 or above
• Complete a chain of three level 80 quests within Thavnair:
  • “Steppe Child” – Ogul (X25.5, Y36.0)
  • “What’s in a Parent” – Yezahn (X29.2, Y15.2)
  • “A Budding Adventure” – Yezah (X29.5, Y17.2)

After completing these♈ three requirements, you can now set out and unlock a new que🔥stline to improve your relationship with the Tribe itself. 

Hippos Born to Run

Head to Thavnair and talk to Kancana (X25.3 Y31.2) to pick up the first Arkasodara Tribal quest, “Hippos Born to Run”. She’ll tell you about herds of hippos seen on the roads of Thavnair and ask you to look into the matter. In order to do this, you’ll have to talk to the residents of Yedlihmad.

Once you’ve spoken to everyone, find and talk to Trna (X16.2 Y25.5), before heading back to Kancana. After a cutscene, return to Trna (now at X23.8 Y33.2), and youꦆ’ll drop into a Hippo Cart, following her al🎃ong a predetermined path.

Speak with her again at the end of this path and take control of the Hippo Cart, this time you’ll actually be able to drive it back to Yedlihmad. Once there, find Kancana in her usual spot, and she’ll send you back to Trna (X19.8 Y27.8) in the 🀅Arkasodara base camp for the final conv🦄ersation.

Once you’ve done this, you’ll have access to the Arkasodara Beast Tribe quests. Future quests can be picked up by talking to Maru (X20.1 Y27.8).
