Final Fantasy XIV: How to Complete the Sage Council Main Story Quest

The Sage Council major story quest is one of several new features in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. The Sage Council mission happens around the middle of the main quest arc in the Endwalker expansion, among a slew of other quests. To continue further in the tale of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, players must finish the Sage Council major story task. Some of the bosses in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker is challenging, but with the appropriate information, the Sage Council mission is a breeze.

The primary plot quest for the Sage Council is a level 88 mission that asks players to locate eight distressed souls who have become stuck in this realm. The disturbed soils are strewn across Sharlayan Hamlet in Labryrinthos, in both concealed and difficult-to-reach spots.

There are also several NPCs in the same region who appear to be in need of assistance. When questioned, these NPCs will not progress the quest because they are not in need of assistance. Furthermore, due to the high number of players on the map, Square Enix had to temporarily remove the game from digital retailers. Players may become stuck spinning about the Sharlayan Hamlet hunting for the distressed souls if they do not have the correct coordinates.

Ignore the NPCs in FFXIV who have main narrative quest markers above their heads; they may resemble distressed souls, but they will not assist players in completing the Sage Council main story quest. The names and direct coordinates of the eight afflicted souls can be used to identify them.

• Distracted Researcher - X:20.7, Y:18.0• Anxious Engineer - X:21.0, Y:20.4• Harried Aetherologist - X:22.1, Y:20.0• Despondent Engineer - X:21.0, Y:21.6• Grimacing Naturalist - X:22.3, Y:20.5• Hyperventilating Engineer - X:21.5, Y:19.0• Ponderous Mathematician - X:22.6, Y:21.0• Skeptical Researcher - X:21.0, Y:22.2

To learn information from these eight disturbed individuals, players must locate and chat with them. Every tormented person has something unique to offer the player. To accomplish the Sage Council main plot quest in Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, players must take this information and speak with Urianger. Players will receive access to the next main story quest, "Hither and Yarns," after finishing the Sage Council main story quest. After finishing the Sage Council main plot mission, players will gain 501,600 EXP and 1,244 Gil if they do not get ejected out during a cutscene.
