Pandaemonium Asphodelos Raid Guides for FFXIV
This page contains information about the first raid tier of Endwalker, Pandaemonium: Asphodelos. It has four fights with two levels of difficulty.
Asphodelos Overview
Asphodelos is the first raid tier of Pandaemonium, the high-end raid series of Endwalker.
Unlock Requirements
To unlock Asphodelos, players must complete the quest "Where Familiars Dare." Players must first complete the quest "The Crystal from Beyond" from Nemjiji at Old Sharlayan (x9.6, y11.9). Additionally, players must have completed the 6.0 Endwalker main scenario.
Unlock Schedule
The raid's Normal difficulty was released with Patch 6.01 on December 21, 2021. The Savage difficulty was released two weeks later with Patch 6.05 on January 4, 2022.
Lore
Far beneath the ground upon which mortals tread, steeped in darkness deep as starless night, ancient power lies dormant. Too hungry, too brutal, too monstrous─what cannot be controlled must be contained, here, in Pandæmonium. Dare you make the descent?

Rewards
Treasure coffers in the Normal difficulty of the raid do not yield gear but instead reward tokens that can be traded in for gear of your choosing. The systems of raid loot for both Normal and Savage difficulties are explained in our guide linked below.
Savage Rewards
Aside from gear upgrades, players who complete the Savage version of this raid tier will have the opportunity to roll on a special mount, the Demi Phoinix!
Item Levels
Here are the item levels of gear received in the Asphodelos raid. Note that the weapon received from the last floor of Asphodelos is five item levels higher than the gear.
- Normal Difficulty: Item Level 580;
- Savage Difficulty: Item Level 600;
Item Exchange
The items obtained from treasure coffers can be exchanged for gear by speaking with Mylenie in Labyrinthos (x8.3, y27.6) or with Djole in Radz-at-Han (x10.3, y9.6).
Item Type | Number of Tokens Required | Token Name |

Completion Reward
Upon completing Asphodelos: The Fourth Circle, players will receive an unsung blade of Asphodelos. This reward can only be received once per weekly lockout. The drop can be exchanged with the item exchange vendors for Discal Tomestones, which are used to purchase weapons along with Allagan Tomestones of Astronomy. These are set to be added with the release of the Savage difficulty of the raid.
