You must complete the entire Level 90 Main Scenario Quest "Endwalker" before you can begin the specific unlock chains.

There are two separate side quest chains in Thavnair that must be completed. These can be done in any order.

Chain A: Ogul's Story

  • The Matanga along the Way - NPC: Kancana (Thavnair X: 25.5, Y: 31.2)
