Here is a complete walkthrough for Halatali, a level 20 optional dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV.
The Sunken Temple of Qarn is an optional dungeon, unlocked by a side quest at level 35.
Qarn will also teach you valuable mechanics that will be important to know later in your journey.
Let’s go over a full breakdown of this dungeon, including each boss and how to beat them.
There are no pre-requisites for this quest, other than being level 35 or higher.
You will need to remember the position of these symbols for a puzzle later in the dungeon.
For reference, the order is listed below.
Instead, when you come to the Scales of Judgment, simply flip the lever.
This will be completed once you make it through the first section of the dungeon anddefeat the first boss.
The most important thing to remember when going through this dungeon is totarget the Temple Bees first.
This enemy will perform the attackFinal Stingif they are alive for long enough.
Final Sting will deal damage equal to90 percent of the target’s maximum health.
Kill the Temple Bees quickly to avoid nearly certain death from this attack.
As you move through the dungeon, you will come across relics that you are able to pick up.
There are four relics to be found that can be used to open optional side rooms.
