Unlocking Pilgrim’s Traverse Deep Dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV

To gain access to the Pilgrim’s Traverse deep dungeon in FFXIV, you must satisfy several prerequisites:

Reach Floor 50 in Palace of the Dead: This deep dungeon becomes available upon completing the quest ‘The House That Death Built’ in New Gridania.
Complete the “Endwalker”Main Scenario Quest: Ensure you’ve made progress within the Endwalker expansion, as this is essential.
Combat Job Level Requirement: You must have at least one combat job at Level 91 or higher.

After meeting these criteria, proceed to The Crystarium and locate the NPC named Bright-eyed Child near the main aetheryte. Engage in conversation to initiate the ‘Pilgrimage of Light’ quest, leading you to Il Mheg to unlock the Pilgrim’s Traverse deep dungeon.

Entering Pilgrim’s Traverse Deep Dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV

To access Pilgrim’s Traverse, interact with the Amaro named Vanthau (X:29.9, Y:6.0), located near the Wolekdorf aetheryte in Il Mheg. A menu will appear displaying your current Aetherpool Arm and Armor stats, along with the option ‘Enter Pilgrim’s Traverse.’

Choose this option, and you will see your available save slots. Ensure at least one slot is empty if you intend to embark on a new run. If both slots are occupied, select ‘Reset your progress’ to clear one or both save files. Conversely, if you’re looking to resume a previous run with a consistent group, opt for the desired save file.

For example, if you have successfully cleared Stones 31, 51, and 71, you can start anew from any of those checkpoints, improving the grinding flexibility for all players.
