The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos
- See also: The Forbidden Land, Eureka
“Though they have yet to determine how such a thing could even be possible, the expedition is nevertheless certain that the place they have dubbed Eureka is none other than the Isle of Val, previously believed to have been obliterated by a powerful magick. Having completed their survey of Anemos, the expedition now turns its sights to a new region: Pagos, a mountainous frozen waste filled with untold dangers...
— In-game description
The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos is a level 70 adventuring foray introduced in patch 4.36 with Stormblood.
It is the second of four areas in The Forbidden Land, Eureka, and is a snowy, mountainous region. The layout and enemies in this zone are much more treacherous than in Eureka Anemos, requiring players to reach some points of interest by traversing narrow passages and occasionally by dropping off cliffs. In addition, lower-level players must avoid waking sleeping Frozen Void Dragons that block several areas, or they will be quickly killed.

Happy Bunnies
As a reward for saving them from imminent peril, happy bunnies will help you find hidden treasure on the island. They will give you hints as to the location of buried coffers each time you feed them a lucky carrot.
You can offer them as many carrots as you like, but move quickly. Happy bunnies will only accompany you for a limited time for fear of natural predators in the wilds.
Lucky carrots can be used as a key item or from the icon in the duty list.
When you are close to hidden treasure, use a lucky carrot to uncover it.
A happy bunny will stop accompanying you under these conditions:
- The hidden treasure has been found
- A certain amount of time has passed
- The happy bunny leaves of its own accord
- The player is KO'd
- The happy bunny is KO'd
- The player leaves Eureka Pagos
- The player logs out

How to acquire items to upgrade
Frosted Protean Crystal: Collect vitiated aether by killing Notorious Monsters and level-appropriate trash mobs in Eureka Pagos, then turn it in at the Crystal Forge in Eureka Pagos (6.0, 21.5). You will receive one Frosted Protean Crystal for each full charge of vitiated aether.
- You must have acquired the vitiated aether kettle from Gerolt by completing the level 25 quest in Eureka Pagos and obtaining at least one Anemos weapon before you can receive vitiated aether. However, you do not need to have the weapon of interest equipped to obtain vitiated aether.
- The kettle can hold a maximum of 9 charges of vitiated aether. If it starts to get full, be sure to turn it in so none gets wasted!
Pagos Crystal: These are acquired by killing Notorious Monsters in Eureka Pagos. The higher level the Notorious Monster, the more crystals it will drop.
Louhi's Ice: 2 chunks will drop each time you complete the FATE 
Louhi on Ice with gold medal credit in Eureka Pagos, which requires you to kill the notorious monster Louhi. Louhi's Ice can also be purchased from the Expedition Birdwatcher for 50 Pagos Crystals each.
Unlike Anemos, there is no armor set to work on in Pagos.
Other Rewards
The Eureka Effect
It is possible to obtain gear in Eureka Pagos that is enhanced with the Eureka Effect.
The Eureka Effect is only active in Eureka and may enhance the gear with special attributes not available to regular equipment at item level 300.
Notorious Monsters
Players may encounter notorious monsters that cannot be found in Eureka Anemos. Those who would engage them are advised to seek aid from other adventurers.
Defeating notorious monsters yields a great deal of elemental EXP, as well as various rewards.
