Of all the mounts inFinal Fantasy XIV, there are a few that command as the cutest of the bunch. One of the new mounts added inDawntraildefinitely falls into this category, especially if you’re a fan of bizarrely oversized rodents.
I’ll admit that’s quite the niche, but apparently, it’s a larger contingency of players than anyone would have likely expected. The Mehwapyarra mount is a strangely large Capybara, capable of transporting around even the heaviest ofFFXIV’sraces with ease.
How to get the Mehwapyarra mount in Final Fantasy XIV
Before you may even think about getting the Mehwapyarra, I would strongly recommend unlocking the ability to fly in Shaaloani by attuning with all of theAether Currentsin the area. While this isn’t strictly necessary, as long as you have a friend who doesn’t mind transporting you, it’s definitely useful.
Then, you might need to do a little FATE farming. The Mehwapyarra mount is purchased using drops from one ofDawntrail’stwo special FATEs,The Serpentlord Seethes. To spawn this FATE, you’ll need to complete a total of four other FATEs in succession, and even then, The Serpentlord Seethes isn’t guaranteed to show up. On the plus side, this is a good opportunity to work on yourShared FATEs in Shaaloani.
Once The Serpentlord Seethes spawns, you’ll need to put some work in. This is an incredibly difficult fight to grasp, filled with mechanics designed to keep you moving. Having completed the FATE on both physical and magical Jobs, I’d certainly recommend the former to maximise your ability to get those hits in while avoiding what is certain death if you get stuck in one of Ttokrrone’s massive AOEs.
Depending on your level of participation, you’ll receive between two and six Ttokrrone Scales once the Special FATE is completed.
Where to spend Ttokrrone Scales in Final Fantasy XIV
You’ll need to complete The Serpentlord Seethes at least twice, or more if you don’t quite manage to get a gold medal in any of your runs, because you need 12 Ttokrrone Scales in total to get the Mehwapyarra mount.
Once you’ve got all 12, head to Solution Nine and talk to Uah’shepya in the Nexus Arcade (X:8.7, Y13.5). Under the “Sublime Curiosities” option, you’ll find the Mehwapyarra mount. You’ll also find the Mica Suit, which is purchased using Mica Magicogs.
