Primals are powerful entities that roam the world of Eorzea in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Fans of the series will recognize most of them as ‘summons’ in the older games. FFXIV account holders face Primals in difficult Trials or dangerous FATEs, and defeating them will reward you with powerful weapons, unique armor, special mounts, and story / quest progression.

Rhitahtyn sas Arvina for FFXIV Account Holders

This will be your first 8-player Trial, and the beginning of the end of the main story on your Final Fantasy 14 account. Fortunately, it’s an extremely straightforward fight that shouldn’t give you too much difficulty; just be warned that since there’s little incentive to replay this Trial after completing it once, Duty Finder queues are often pretty hefty. Manually gather a party via your Free Company or the Party Finder if at all possible.

Fighting Rhitahtyn for FFXIV Account Holders

Everyone should attack Rhitahtyn sas Arvina with their most powerful abilities, avoiding the Firebombs that cause flaming circles to appear on the ground whilst continuously dealing damage. Once his health falls below 60%, Rhitahtyn will call for help from two guards. The off-tank should move to pick them up and mark them as “Target to Attack 1” and “Target to Attack 2” while the main tank stays on Rhitahtyn. The rest of the party should give the off-tank 5-10 seconds to pick up some solid aggro on the two guards, then turn their attention to them, beginning with target 1 and then moving to number 2. Once they’re both down, return your attention to Rhitahtyn for the final stage of the fight.

Finishing Up for FFXIV Account Holders

At about 25% HP, Rhitahtyn will start launching Magitek Missiles every so often. These will appear as a large circle around Rhitahtyn, so everyone should get well back when this appears to avoid taking heavy damage. Simply continue hurling damage at Rhitahtyn and the Trial will be over on your Final Fantasy XIV account.

Congratulations, FFXIV account holders!
