The Troll is a Mount in Final Fantasy XIV that was previously only available as a summonable Minion but can now be ridden to traverse the world. The figure and animations of the Troll are somewhat similar to the rideable Goobbue variants, featuring a comically pudgy frame with dangling arms hanging from each side. Nevertheless, it is a charming collectible in Final Fantasy XIV, especially for those who find real-world bulldogs or pugs adorable.
To get the Troll Mount in Final Fantasy XIV, Warriors of Light have two options, both of which require moderate effort. First, adventurers can participate in Wondrous Tails, a weekly activity that allows players to complete the game's older content to earn various rewards. To unlock Wondrous Tails, fans will need to complete "Keeping Up with the Aliapohs," a side quest in Heavensward's Idyllshire at X:7.0, Y:5.9. Specifically, Final Fantasy XIV players will need to earn a Gold Certificate of Commendation, a rare reward that demands some grinding and extreme luck.
On the other hand, Final Fantasy XIV fans can take part in the Faux Hollows to obtain the Troll Mount. Faux Hollows is another minigame activity similar to FFXIV's Wondrous Tails that can be unlocked by completing the Level 80 quest, "Fantastic Mr. Faux," given by the Painfully Ishgardian Man in Idyllshire at X:7.0, Y:5.9. Keep in mind that this side quest will only become available once Warriors of Light have finished all the base MSQ for the Shadowbringers expansion and the aforementioned side quest, "Keeping Up with the Aliapohs."
Unlocking The Troll Mount In FFXIV
Once players have access to Faux Hollows, they must earn Faux Leaf ×600 to purchase the Troll Mount in FFXIV. This currency is obtainable by completing Unreal Trials, which compare in difficulty to Extreme Trials. Through these Trials, fans will unlock the ability to play a Battleship-style board game with the Faux Commander. Once they've played this game enough times and earned enough Faux Leaves, they will be able to buy the Troll Horn to summon the Mount. Like Wondrous Tails, this activity resets every week in FFXIV.
Alternatively, it is possible to buy the Troll Mount from other FFXIV players via the in-game Market Board. Some have mentioned that such as purchase currently costs up to millions of Gil, depending on the Data Center. Those affluent enough to make this acquisition shouldn't encounter much trouble, but those lacking the necessary funds can only get the new 6.1 Mount via Faux Hollows or Wondrous Tails.
Final Fantasy XIV is available on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam or Square Enix's official website.
