“In a seldom-traveled corner of the south sea isles lies Aloalo, an island filled with lush vegetation and teeming with vibrant wildlife. Yet the survival of this paradise hinges on a delicate natural balance which has only grown more precarious since the island's stewards departed a century ago. Answering the plea of a messenger most peculiar, you must join Matsya on a journey to restore order to Aloalo, and in the process uncover secrets long forgotten.
— In-game description
Aloalo Island is a level 90 variant dungeon introduced in patch 6.51 with Endwalker.
The dungeon's rewards are cosmetic in nature: the Free Spirit's Glamour Set, as well as other glamour items, can be acquired for the currency obtained in the dungeon, while the Spectral Statice mount is obtained for completing all 12 Aloalo Conservation Records (i.e., different endings depending on the dungeon mechanisms activated and paths taken).
Objectives
The party may unlock up to one entry in the Aloalo Conservation Record per instance.
Random events or player choices prior to the first boss will influence the first boss's mechanics. Player choices after the first boss will influence the second boss's mechanics and determine the lore entry unlock.
# | Icon | Name | Path | Solution |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | A Not-quite Deserted Island | Left | Decline Matsya's request to fish. Do not assist the Lalafell NPC (he will flee once his health is 0). | |
2 | The First Settlers Of Aloalo Island | Left | Decline Matsya's request to fish. Heal the Lalafell NPC (can use Variant Cure if not on healer) or prevent them from dying by getting aggro on the enemies. | |
3 | God Of Heaven And Sea | Left | Allow Matsya to fish. Later, interact with the sand pile (right) to receive a Southern Sow Bug. | |
4 | A Noxious Gift | Left | Allow Matsya to fish. Later, interact with the mound of rocks (left) to receive a Southern Worm. | |
5 | The Roots Of Arcanima | Middle | Go straight through and defeat the enemies, ignore any interactions. | |
6 | Under The Boughs Of The Great Tree | Middle | On both the second and third groups of enemies after the first boss, go into the red-flowered bushes and scare off both sets of armadillos at the end of the hidden paths (one set per path). | |
7 | A Dear Friend | Middle | After the first boss, kill the treant first, then kill all the caterpillars on the sigil. During the last group of enemies, do not damage the Mi'qote behind the left wood golem. | |
8 | Fish For The Mind | Middle | After the first boss, kill the treant first, then kill all the caterpillars on the sigil. During the last group of enemies, also defeat the Mi'qote behind the left wood golem. | |
9 | A Familiar History | Right | Ask Statice for secrets and follow them. | |
10 | The Remnants Of Faith | Right | Deny Statice's request three times. Do not interact with the treasure boxes. Then pull the lever. | |
11 | A Lalafell Or A Fish? | Right | Deny Statice's request three times. Interact with a treasure box and defeat the mimic. Then pull the lever. | |
12 | Wellspring Of Golden Memories | Right | Deny Statice's request three times. Continue until reaching the three animal figures, and complete the rituals correctly:
(1) Sparrow: Say "O dancer of the skies, hear me." (don't include the quotation marks and don't forget the period) > Use Blow Kiss (/blowkiss) before the sparrow. > Circle once clockwise around the statues, first passing the turtle, whale, and then the sparrow. > Dance (/dance) before the sparrow. (2) Whale: Say "O messenger from beyond the horizon, hear me." > Circle once clockwise around the statues, first passing the sparrow, statues, and then the turtle, before circling once counterclockwise. > Dance (/dance) before the whale. (3) Turtle: Say "O wayfarer of land and sea, hear me." > Circle twice counterclockwise around the statues , first passing the sparrow, whale, and then the turtle. > Bow (/bow) before the turtle. Notes: Saying the initial phrase will cause the corresponding statue to glow, a symbol to appear above the player's head, and a blue circle to in front of the statue, where they should begin their rotation movements. Performing a step correctly will trigger a sound effect. If the player takes too long for a ritual, the symbol will disappear and it will fail. Afterwards, follow Matsya down the secret passage and continue through the foggy area, defeating the enemies and collecting the leather sack from Whasbyrm. In the area before the final boss, place the statues correctly: sparrow furthest from the boss room, whale middle, then turtle closest to the boss room. If done correctly, the mist will clear and the player will proceed to the secret boss. |
Note: If using a guide to complete the routes, it is recommended to attempt route 12 before 10-11, because if the player fails, they can still unlock the others. Completing Route 12 will unlock A Fish a Day, the second and final quest in the Aloalo Island questline.
To uncover the map in the closed-off room to the left, just before Statice's boss room, hug the left hallway at the bottom of the cliff from the room until the map is revealed. The room can normally be accessed by successfully completing the rituals and entering the secret foggy area (route 12) but not placing the statues correctly.
