This upcoming patch has a couple of things for us to chew on in the mean-time. We can expect Patch 6.55 this upcomingTuesday, January 16that the following times:
The game will bedownonMonday, January 15th, for the release of the patch.
Main Scenario Quests
Now that we have conquered Zeromus, the Warrior of Light returns to the First in Patch 6.55 only to be called upon once again. Part two of the Growing Light chapter will be released with this patch.
According to the special website for Patch 6.55, we will be greeted by a completely unexpected visitor at theBaldesion Annexin Old Sharlayan – our main scenario quest hub for the city. They traveled a long way to find us, so they must have something important to say to us!
These quests will leads us into our next expansion, so we can expect to get a couple of reveals as to the conflicts we can expect in Dawntrail. As well as our first look at thefemale Hrothgarin game.
Side Quests
Square Enix has done a decent job with producing fun sidequest content for Endwalker, but we will see our last updates with this Patch for the following two questlines.
Tataru’s Grand Adventure
One of the more delightful side questlines to come out in Endwalker is that of Tataru and her Grand Adventure. This questline offers a host of glamour rewards, so be sure tovisit Tataru Taru’s Boutiquefor the next update in her adventure!
Somehow Further Hildibrand Adventures
With the release of Patch 6.55, we have our conclusion to Endwalker’s relic journey – the Hildibrand questline. After finishing this quest, you will be able to get your next and last Endwalker relic update.
Historically, the last relic of an expansion gives us the chance to change our stats around and really min-max our builds. If this remains the case – ‘if’ because Hildibrand has been the easiest relic series out there so I am unsure if Square Enix intends to keep it this way – then the Hildibrand relics will be our new best in slot for old ultimate raid content. They are worth it to get your hands on, so you should pick them up as soon as you can.
verify you have yourtomes of causalitycapped out for this next release so you can purchase one right away.
Surprisingly, we will also be getting a new trial for this expansion. Most Warriors of Light thought Zeromus would be our last trial for the Endwalker expansion – including me – so this is a nice surprise!
The trial is calledThe Gilded Araya. The boss herself is amanifestation of Asuraand is called to Thavnair by mortals’ greed. She is a six-armed goddess draped in a red and golden cloak. She kind of reminds me of a mix betweenSophiaandLakshmiin terms of her overall vibe.
Tribal Alliance
Jammingway has new ideas for big events and she’s getting everyone involved in her next plot. The Endwalker Beast Tribes work together in this upcomingTribal Allianceto create the great event the universe has ever seen – according to Jammingway, of course.
Closing Thoughts
This update seems short and sweet, to be honest. The quests will not take long to get through. If they are anything like the last few updates, you can expect to get through them in a couple of hours without skipping the cutscenes. Similarly, the new Manderville weapon will be a quick grind if the new update also costs1500 tomes of casuality.If you sit down and crank out Expert roulettes for a few days, you can easily get all of your relics for all of your jobs.
The release of Patch 6.55 is bittersweet, as it means the end of Endwalker content and a long wait until Dawntrail. There is still a lot to catch up on in the world, though Between deep dungeon content, criterion dungeons, savage and beast tribes, this game does not lack for things to catch up on if you are anything like me and didn’t do so when it was current.
