Last Fantasy XIV Patch 6.5 launched with the ultimate tier of its Myths of the Realm Alliance Raid earlier this month, and it’s nonetheless packing secrets and techniques to find. The brand new 24-man raid apparently has just a little easter egg for gamers acquainted with the MMO’s fishing lore, and it entails capturing your shot with one of many realm’s 12 gods, Llymlaen.

Within the Thaleia Raid, when you catch her at simply the fitting time, utilizing the ‘/blowkiss’ emote on Llymlaen causes her to cease and scold you. “Oi, reduce it out, you!” she chides, earlier than hitting you with True Injury and taking you down to at least one HP.

[6.5] Within the new #ffxiv AR, Llymlaen has a singular assault/voice line that triggers upon a participant utilizing the /blowkiss emote on her. This assault “Navigator’s Dagger” stuns the participant and offers MASSIVE true harm, and is a reference to some much-beloved fish lore! 🐟 EN POVS: https://t.co/kNraYSVdFe pic.twitter.com/0upmq9qAJx

The Japanese FFXIV fan web site Umadori first chronicled participant encounters with Llymlaen final week. The assault she makes use of is Navigator’s Dagger, a fish present in La Noscea, the place, you guessed it, Llymlaen is the patron god. The in-game description notes these lengthy, blade-like fish are the “knives thrown by Llymlaen at Her enemies.” The larger model of that fish, Navigator’s Model, provides, “Fishers consider that this wavekin was the blade that Llymlaen threw at Oschon in Her fury at having Her bare kind espied.”

Anyway, within the identify of science, I examined the FFXIV easter egg myself. I’m pleased to report Llymlaen kicked my ass. Sorry for the uh, messy screenshot. I used to be just a little too antsy about getting the watcher of the seas to stab me to demise, so high quality wasn’t high of thoughts.

I couldn’t inform you the precise second I caught her, however I did spam the ‘blowkiss’ emote with the chatlog choice turned off — didn’t need to spam the chat. However in some unspecified time in the future, I did get her to show to me, stun my poor Warrior of Gentle, and take her down to at least one HP. I used to be shocked for therefore lengthy I died, however value it. I bought the kiss and the clear, and now I’m off to do that on Halone.
