Like other main story quests in Final Fantasy XIV, Dawntrail offers a branching path choice, and fairly early on. You’ll barely be settled into Tuliyollal before you’ll have to choose between two different routes for the contest of succession.
The nice part is, like other times you’ve had to pick one, you won’t have to worry too much about the choice affecting your future options. Here’s how to choose between the Pelu and Hanu quests in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail.
Which option should you choose between the Hanu and Pelu?
Once you’ve finished the Main Story Quest “The Rite of Succession”, you’ll be presented with two options to advance forward in the narrative. The Approachable Pelu and Helpful Hanu each offer a quest, To Urqopacha and To Kozama’uka respectively, to move the story ahead.
Both offer 994,560 EXP and 1001 Gil as rewards, and as the game helpfully reminds you, taking either option will temporarily lock you out of the other route until you finish the one you pick.
That being said, no story elements or quest rewards will be affected by your choice. Basically, pick one to clear first, then the other; it does not matter where you start.
If you’re still here and worrying about the options, I recommend you choose the option that interests you the most. I went with Pelu, for example, because they’re relatively new to Final Fantasy XIV and I wanted to see what they were up to. Also, there were alpacas in the quest thumbnail. Easy choice.
Either way, you won’t need to fret about making some kind of grand decision here. You’ll be able to clear both out in due time, and continue on your way through the MSQ of Dawntrail.
