Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, the latest expansion to Square Enix’s critically acclaimed and beloved MMORPG, Final Fantasy XIV, has received a new update today called Patch 6.05. This is a huge update which, according to theFFXIV website, contains a ton of new content and various bug fixes to the game.
The biggest addition of this update is that the Savage mode for the first part of thePandaemonium raidseries is now available. For those unaware, Savage raids are harder versions of Final Fantasy XIV raids where enemies hit harder, their attacks have their indicators removed, and feature brand new mechanics that you must avoid to save the party from being killed in one hit. These fights require strict communication, teamwork, and memorization to achieve victory and obtain the new gear they hold.
Another big highlight is the introduction of the Excitatron 6000 treasure map dungeon. Treasure map dungeons are special dungeons that can only be accessed after acquiring a treasure coffer from treasure maps. In these dungeons, you fight through a gauntlet of enemies (some of which are unique to these dungeons) and receive special prizes depending on how lucky you are.
