Mount Rokkon is the second Variant Dungeon released in Patch 6.45 of Endwalker. Players can complete different paths in the Variant Dungeon to unlock different endings, and finishing all twelve endings rewards players with a special mount. To learn more about Variant Dungeons, visit the Variant Dungeon hub.

Mount Rokkon has a total of five bosses. The first boss is the same no matter what, but the second boss changes based on the path taken. There are three main final bosses and one secret final boss. In addition, each boss gains new mechanics based on the paths taken, which is explained in the Paths section below.

Yozakura the Fleeting is fought in all paths and has the following base mechanics.

• Glory Neverlasting is a tank buster.
• Art of the Windblossom is a donut AoE.
• Art of the Fireblossom is a point-blank AoE.
• Oka Ranman summons cherry blossoms on the ground and deals light magic damage. Yozakura will tether to them with Seal of the Fleeting giving each an element.
  • Fire indicates a point-blank AoE.
  • Wind indicates a donut AoE.
  • Lightning indicates a cardinal conal AoE.
  • Water indicates an intercardinal conal AoE.
• Seal of Riotous Bloom tethers Yozakura to two cherry blossom piles, which do the mechanics indicated together.
• Kuge Rantsui deals moderate raidwide magic damage.
• Seasons of the Fleeting are four sets of line and conal AoEs. She will show the four mechanics in order first, then execute them in succession.

Moko the Restless is the final boss on the left path. It has the following base mechanics.

• Kenki Release deals moderate raidwide magic damage.
• Moko will show an indicator above its head and cast Iai-kasumi-giri. It will turn do a 270 degree cleave in front of it; the safe spot is the area shown relative to where it is currently facing.
• Soldiers of Death summons soldiers at the edge of the arena. They will either do an AoE on the arena indicated by an arrow, or Moko will cast Spearman's Orders and they charge across the arena. Dodge them by moving into the path of a soldier charging fast.
• Double Iai-kasumi-giri is two sets of Iai-kasumi-giri in quick succession. Note that the second one will be relative to where it is facing after the first one.
• Boundless Scarlet and Boundless Azure will summon line AoEs on the arena. Scarlet AoEs will widen in order, while Azure AoEs will do waves in order. Avoid the former and walk into the first AoE for the latter.

Moko the Restless is the final boss on the middle path. It has the following base mechanics.

• Unenlightenment deals moderate raidwide magic damage.
• Flickering Flame summons flames at the edge of the arena, which do a line AoE across.
• Sulphuric Stone summons stones, which do an AoE underneath them.
• Plectrum of Power will enlarge the AoEs from Flickering Flame and Sulphuric Stone.
• Morphic Melody changes the AoEs from Flickering Flame and Sulphuric Stone, making safe spots on the indicated AoEs.
• Impure Purgation is a set of conal AoEs.
• Rousing Reincarnation inflicts three debuffs onto players. These debuffs are removed by standing in towers spawned by Malformed Prayer.
• Spike of Flame is a targeted AoE beneath all players.
• Flame and Sulphur summons flames and stones at the same time.
• Torching Torment is a tank buster.

Moko the Restless is the final boss on the right path. It has the following base mechanics.

• Enkyo deals moderate raidwide magic damage.
• Stormcloud Summons summons dark clouds across the arena. Shishio will consume them up to three times with Smokeater, and do mechanics based on how many clouds were consumed.
• Once on Rakujo has one line AoE, and remaining clouds will do small AoEs. Twice on Rakujo has two line AoEs, and remaining clouds will do medium AoEs. Thrice on Rakujo has three line AoEs, and the two remaining clouds do massive AoEs.
• Thunder Onefold will do small line AoEs, Thunder Twofold will do medium line AoEs, and Thunder Threefold will do massive line AoEs.
• Splitting Cry is a tankbuster.
• Shishio jumps to an edge and starts casting Noble Pursuit. This is a line AoE dash across the arena, and rings appear indicating line AoEs that appear out of the dash. This is followed by Thunder Vortex which is a donut AoE.

Enenra is the hidden boss, only accessible through the middle path. It has the following mechanics.

• Flagrant Combustion deals moderate raidwide magic damage.
• Out of the Smoke creates a smoke trail. Enenra will dash to the end of the smoke trail and cleave the middle of the arena with Into the Fire so stand behind it.
• Enenra will jump and do an expanding donut AoE with Kiseru Clamor.
• Smoke and Mirrors will summon a clone of Enenra, sharing their HP pools. This clone will mirror any ability cast by the real Enenra, including Out of the Smoke, Flagrant Combustion, and Kiseru Clamor. Smoke Stack will combine the two bosses together.
• Smoke Rings will tether the two clones together with a targeting indicator in the middle of the arena. Go to the edge of the arena to dodge the large AoE from the centre, or stand in the centre if it's a knockback.
• Smoldering Damnation summons expanding puddles that explode as they turn orange.
• Pipe Cleaner tethers players, and Enenra will do a large line AoE towards them. Avoid other players.
• Snuff is a large AoE tankbuster.

If not removed, she will cast Root Arrangement, AoEs that follow the player. Leaving the Dogu will lock players out of the path for records 10 and 11 for the run.
