Heavensturn 2022: How to get FFXIV’s Year of the Tiger rewards

With the start of 2022, it’s time for Final Fantasy XIV’s annual Heavensturn event, which pits you against a mighty beast representing the year’s Zodiac animal.

This year, you’ll face the massive white tiger Phantom Byakko. Fearsome as it may seem, defeating Phantom Byakko is simple if you follow these steps.

To begin Heavensturn, you’ll have to pick up the quest “Tangle with a Tora” from the Tora Bugyo NPC.

You’ll find him in Limsa Lominsa, Upper Decks (X:11.5, Y13.9), a quick jaunt from the Aftcastle Aetheryte shard.

Square Enix says it fixed the bug as of January 6, but if you find yourself waiting longer than normal, just know that Byakko will eventually turn up.

The FATE is only level five, so remember to click the Level Sync button below the quest description to begin. From there, the fight is straightforward.

From there, simply head back to Tora Bugyo to collect your spoils. You’ll have to choose between a gold and silver Tora Kabuto, but you can actually get both right away.

For five tickets, you can pick up whichever Tora Kabuto you missed and fill out your glamour collection.

You can spend your remaining tickets on an underwhelming food item or a stack of Magicked Prisms to delight and annoy passersby.
