FFXIV Endwalker 6.01: Pandaemonium Asphodelos
Of course, the highlight of FFXIV Endwalker patch 6.01 is the newest raid dungeon to join the game’s ever-expanding roster, Pandaemonium: Asphodelos.
A ghastly realm engulfed in a black mist and shadowed by spindly, warped trees, players will have 90 minutes to complete the raid and earn Pandaemonium Points. These are then traded to Mylenie in Labyrinthos or Djole in Radz-at-Han in order to earn some all-new items.
