After a lot of anticipation, the FFXIV 6.55 patch is now live on the servers, and in this guide, we’re going over everything you need to know about it. This guide contains no story spoilers – all it’ll do is help you navigate through the new content and show you what you can do in the 6.55 patch!

The first, and the most important update, is the Growing Light – Part 2, which is the continuation of the MSQ. The most notable addition to the storyline is the introduction to Wuk Lamat, the first-ever female Hrothgar. The story is very likely to give us an introduction to the Dawntrail storyline, and we can also expect to see the beginnings of Krile’s journey toward becoming our first ever Pictomancer. While female Hrothgars and Pictomancers are not yet available in-game, it’s still pretty exciting to see the direction in which the game is going and what we can expect to be able to play around with in the summer.

The 6.55 patch also gives us a new trial known as ‘The Gilded Araya.’ Here you will face off against Asura, which is super exciting for any and all fellow FF4 fans. I’m personally very excited for this, as she looks gorgeous, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing all the boss mechanics.

Another update is the finale of Tataru’s Grand Endeavor storyline, which ended up taking us way back, while reminding us of some awesome characters we used to know and love. This isn’t such a big addition to the game, but it has so far been very satisfying, and I’m excited to see how the story ends.

One of the most anticipated things about the 6.55 patch is, of course, the Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures. Hildi’s story in Endwalker has been nothing short of hilarious so far, and despite a huge revelation from the last patch, there is still some unfinished work to be done. If you’re looking forward to finally solving the mystery of PuPu’s missing companion, this is definitely something you want to do!

Along with the final Hildibrand quest, we also get the chance to finish our Manderville Relic Weapons. Even though the very process of obtaining the weapons wasn’t as exciting as I would’ve hoped, they do look beautiful and the item level of the final step will help you clear any content you might’ve been putting off lately.

And last but not least, the Endwalker Alliance Tribal quests are going to unite the stories of all the funny, adorable and weird creatures we’ve encountered along the way. If you haven’t finished your Omicron and Loporrits storylines, now is a good time to catch up on it, so that you can enjoy the culmination of all the questlines.

When it comes to the new FFXIV 6.55 updates, that’s pretty much it. What will you be working on from now until the new expansion?
