With patch 7.05, Final Fantasy XIV introduced two new S Rank Elite Marks into the fray. As with all S Ranks, these have their own spawn methods and locations which at first weren’t clear, but now they’ve been spawned.
There are two new S Rank Elite Marks to be fought, one in Urqopacha and another in Kozama’uka. One of them, the one that spawns in Urqopacha, is a direct reintroduction to a familiar foe to anyone who played Final Fantasy XI.
Just because these S Ranks are in lower-level areas, that doesn’t mean they’re easier to defeat than those in higher-level areas. S Ranks are all incredibly difficult to take down and require a large number of people to take on, especially this early into an expansion.
Urqopacha S Rank – Kirlirger the Abhorrent
The S Rank in Urqopacha is Kirlirger the Abhorrent. Back in Final Fantasy XI, Kirlirger was a Notorious Monster who could be fought in order to reduce the Troll Mercenaries’ military force by one.
This one proved troublesome to those looking to fight him, who went through a lot to try and figure out his spawn conditions. However, it all boils down to time and weather. Kirlirger will spawn at midnight on a foggy night with a new moon.
Kozama’uka S Rank – Ihnuxokiy
The new S Rank introduced to Kozama’uka has a much more controllable spawn condition. Ihnuxokiy can be found in any of the locations above, and the spawn conditions will be familiar to anyone who has tried to spawn Narrow Rift, the Endwalker S Rank in Ultima Thule.
To spawn Ihnuxokiy, you’ll need to have the Morpho minion, which is a possible drop from The Lost City of Amdapor (Hard). Once you’ve got it, summoning Morpho and flying low over Ihnuxokiy’s spawn points will possibly spawn the Kozama’uka S Rank.
