How to Get the Kamuy Mounts in FFXIV (2026 Guide)
To get the Kamuy mounts in FFXIV, clear seven Stormblood Extreme trials and either win the matching Kamuy Fife from a treasure coffer or exchange 99 of that trial’s totems with Eschina in Rhalgr’s Reach. Collect all seven base mounts, then accept A Lone Wolf No More from the News Hawker in Kugane to earn the Fabled Kamuy Fife and unlock the Kamuy of the Nine Tails. The Stormblood set has eight mounts in all: seven trial rewards plus the final collection reward.
The images below are representative fantasy scenes, not screenshots from FFXIV.
Before you start
- Unlock the Stormblood story trials and their Extreme versions. These are level 70 high-end duties, and the required item level varies by trial.
- Plan to farm each duty separately: every mount uses its own named totem, and the seven kinds cannot be combined.
- Use Party Finder if you want a pre-formed farming group. An unrestricted party can make older fights quicker, though some mechanics may still be easier with other players.
- Keep each Kamuy Fife you win. Use it from your inventory to register that mount before moving on.
The seven Kamuy mounts and their trials
Each row below shows the repeatable totem exchange route. A Kamuy Fife may also appear in the trial’s treasure coffer, so check the loot after a clear; that route is random and is not a guaranteed drop.
| Kamuy mount | Stormblood Extreme trial | Totem exchange |
|---|---|---|
| Reveling Kamuy | The Pool of Tribute (Extreme) — Susano | 99 Revel Totems |
| Blissful Kamuy | Emanation (Extreme) — Lakshmi | 99 Bliss Totems |
| Legendary Kamuy | The Minstrel’s Ballad: Shinryu’s Domain — Shinryu | 99 Shinryu Totems |
| Auspicious Kamuy | The Jade Stoa (Extreme) — Byakko | 99 Byakko Totems |
| Lunar Kamuy | The Minstrel’s Ballad: Tsukuyomi’s Pain — Tsukuyomi | 99 Lunar Totems |
| Euphonious Kamuy | Hells’ Kier (Extreme) — Suzaku | 99 Suzaku Totems |
| Hallowed Kamuy | The Wreath of Snakes (Extreme) — Seiryu | 99 Seiryu Totems |
Square Enix’s Patch 4.25 notes document the Reveling and Blissful exchanges; the Patch 4.3 notes cover Legendary; Patch 4.4 covers Auspicious; Patch 4.5 covers Lunar and lists the final quest requirement; Patch 4.55 covers Euphonious; and Patch 4.58 covers Hallowed.
How to get the Kamuy mounts in FFXIV
1. Unlock the Stormblood Extreme trials
First complete the relevant Stormblood main-scenario and side-story quests, then clear each trial’s normal version where required. Many Extreme unlocks come from the Wandering Minstrel in Kugane after you recount the normal encounter; the Four Lords fights also depend on progressing their Chronicles of a New Era quest line. Once unlocked, look for the Extreme duty in the high-end trial listings. If a duty is missing, finish its normal trial and continue the associated story quests before checking again.
2. Clear the trial tied to the mount you want
Choose one duty from the table and repeat it. For example, farm Emanation (Extreme) for the Blissful Kamuy, or The Wreath of Snakes (Extreme) for the Hallowed Kamuy. The fight is the source of both its matching totem and its possible mount fife. Do not spend time farming a different trial if you are short on the totem listed for your target mount.
3. Check the coffer and keep the matching totems
After each victory, inspect the treasure coffer. If the Kamuy Fife appears, roll for it and use it to learn the mount. If it does not, keep farming that same duty and save its totems. The Fife drop is luck-based, and official patch notes describe drop-rate adjustments without publishing a current percentage. The totem exchange is the predictable fallback because it lets you claim the mount once you have the required stack.
4. Trade 99 of one totem type to Eschina
When you have 99 matching totems, travel to Eschina in Rhalgr’s Reach (X:13.8, Y:11.8) and choose the Kamuy Fife exchange. The fife is an item, not the mount itself: use it from your inventory to add the mount to your Mount Guide. Repeat this trade separately for each trial whose fife you have not won.
5. Register all seven base Kamuy
Continue until the Mount Guide shows Reveling, Blissful, Legendary, Auspicious, Lunar, Euphonious, and Hallowed Kamuy. The seven trials are independent, so track the missing mount and its corresponding totem type instead of farming whichever fight happens to be fastest. If you already received a Fife, use it before checking your collection; owning the item without learning the mount may not satisfy the final quest condition.
The guaranteed exchange route costs 693 totems total if you use it for every mount: seven trials multiplied by 99 totems each. A direct Fife drop lowers that total. Use the collection view as a checklist and stop farming a trial as soon as its mount is learned.
6. Complete “A Lone Wolf No More” for the final mount
Once you own all seven base Kamuy, travel to Kugane and speak with the News Hawker at X:11.6, Y:9.9. Accept and complete A Lone Wolf No More. The official Patch 4.5 notes say the News Hawker does not appear until the seven-mount requirement is met; the Eorzea Database quest entry confirms the Kugane quest location.
The reward is the Fabled Kamuy Fife. Use it from your inventory to learn the Kamuy of the Nine Tails. The official Eorzea Database item entry confirms that the Fife teaches this mount.
Fast farming tips
- Use Party Finder for repeat clears. A pre-formed group can avoid waiting for an old Extreme duty to fill through automatic matchmaking.
- Try an unrestricted party when appropriate. Removing level sync can speed up older duties. If a solo attempt is blocked by a fight mechanic, add players rather than losing time to repeated failed runs.
- Keep totems until you reach 99. Do not trade a partial stack for other rewards if that slows the mount you are targeting.
- Track mount items and learned mounts separately. Use every Fife you win, then verify the mount appears in your collection before moving on.
Quick answers
How many totems do I need for one Kamuy?
Trade 99 totems of the matching type to Eschina in Rhalgr’s Reach. Totems from one trial do not buy a mount from another trial.
Can a Kamuy drop without 99 totems?
Yes. Its Kamuy Fife can appear in the trial’s treasure coffer, but the drop is random. The 99-totem exchange is the reliable route if you do not win the fife.
How many Kamuy mounts are needed for the Nine Tails?
Collect and learn all seven Stormblood trial Kamuy, then complete A Lone Wolf No More. Its Fabled Kamuy Fife teaches the eighth mount, Kamuy of the Nine Tails.
For this 2026 guide, the exchange requirements, mount names, and final quest gate were checked against Square Enix’s official Lodestone patch notes and Eorzea Database entries linked above. Drop percentages are not stated because the official notes do not publish a current rate.
