How To Unlock Variant Dungeons¶
In order to unlock Variant Dungeons you’ll need to have completed the Endwalker Storyline, then speak with Osmon who can be found at (X:12 Y:13.4) in Old Sharlayan. Here you’ll begin the A Key to the Past Side Quest. It’ll take you through the steps to unlocking the dungeon.
What are Variant Dungeons¶
Variant Dungeons can be played by Level 90 Warriors of Light who have completed the Endwalker Storyline and you can choose to play these solo or with up to 3 friends. However, the difficulty will scale based on the amount of players. Additionally, you can change your class throughout the dungeon which is a nice change from deep-dungeons.
The Variant Dungeons will feature different paths you can take and these change based on the actions you use. The Actions you use throughout the dungeon will also affect the boss’s mechanics. There are 12 Lore entries related to the dungeon and you’ll receive a mount. Lores are unlocked depending on how you complete the dungeon, so multiple runs will be required.
