FFXIV Shadowbringers Quest List

Ready for your Warrior of Darkness arc?

If you're only just getting to Final Fantasy XIV's Shadowbringers expansion, you're in for a treat. Perhaps the most beloved by fans, it's a story of hope and despair that's about as far from Eorzea as you can get.

Before you get started, get some tissues ready. Once you're well-equipped for the journey ahead, read on for every Main Scenario Quest in the expansion, as well as the Post-Shadowbringers patches. Spoilers will be kept to a minimum, but read ahead at your own risk. 

Shadowbringers Main Scenario Quests

To start, your Warrior of Light will be called to the First and suddenly wake in a region called Lakeland. If you're feeling as disoriented as them, don't worry; just like always, you'll meet more than one kind soul early on to guide you.
