2024 is at an end, and with the world slowly starting to welcome 2025, the Heavensturn event is back in Final Fantasy XIV, celebrating Eastern culture and the year of the snake. Here’s how to get all of the Heavensturn 2025 rewards.
The events during Heavensturn events are never particularly challenging, but those during the 2025 event are easier than they’ve been in recent years. Getting your hands on the Great White Tsuchinoko minion is remarkably easy, as long as you have some knowledge of Eastern culture and customs, as well as some understanding of in-game lore.
How to get the Great White Tsuchinoko minion in FFXIV
To begin the Heavensturn 2025 event quest, head to Limsa Lominsa and make your way to the Aftcastle. When you get there, seek out the Hebi Bugyo (X:11.5, Y:13.9) and talk to them to start the level level 15 quest “Heavensssturn Trivia”.
The Bugyo will send you off to talk to her three sisters to answer three snake-based questions, in honor of the year of the snake. You’ll need to hunt down all three sisters nearby, and each will pose a question before giving you a selection of possible answers.
Rather than guessing your way through, here are the three sisters locations, their questions, and the answers you should give:
Blue hebi yoriki (X:11.1, Y:12.7)
- Question: What blessing can one hope to receive from the humble Hebi?
- Answer: Fair fortune
Yellow hebi yoriki (X:10.8, Y:10.5)
- Question: Some snakes are luckier than others and they happen to have one thing in common: their color. What color are they?
- Answer: White
Red hebi yoriki (X:10.3,Y: 7.9)
- Question: What did the people of Hingashi use to pay respects during Heavensturn?
- Answer: Rice cakes
Once you’ve answered all three questions correctly, you can head back to Hebi Bugyo at the Aftcastle to complete the quest and get the Great White Tsuchinoko minion.
Other Heavensturn 2025 rewards
As well as the main minion reward from completing the event quest, there are also a couple of other event exclusive items available to purchase as well. These can be bought from the Hebi Shonin (X:11.4, Y:13.6).
The items you can purchase here are as follows:
- Zoni (16 Gil)
- Magicked Prism (Advent Cakes) (19 Gil)
- Oriental New Year’s Meal (5,000 Gil)
- Springtide Fan Stand (2,000 Gil)
Last year’s event quest reward, the Ryunosuke minion, is also now available to purchase on the FFXIV Online Store, costing $5 USD.
How to get an Omikujishi in FFXIV
An Omikujishi is a fortune that is supposed to give you a hint about how the next 12 months can go but doesn’t take it too seriously. You can receive as many Omikujishis as you like, but you’ll need to pay 100 Gil per fortune. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a good fortune the first time around, but you can always just keep going until you get something that doesn’t sound completely terrible.
To get your fortune for the year ahead, talk to the Far Eastern Omikujishi (X:11.7, Y:14.1), and you’ll enter into a cutscene. After shaking around the red box, your fortune will appear on screen. You won’t be able to revisit a fortune after you’ve pressed escape, so make sure to screenshot it if you want to keep hold of it.
