}} Instead of being a separate instance, it exists within {{questlink|oc|Occult Crescent: South Horn}}. Similar to {{questlink|eureka|The Baldesion Arsenal}} and {{questlink|bsf|Delubrum Reginae (Savage)}}, Forked Tower is designed to be a high-end duty that requires group coordination and the use of specific [[Phantom Job|phantom job]] actions to complete.

This duty is considered a [[Critical Encounter]] and will count towards achievements involving those.

==Requirements & Entrance==
[[File:Cipher Reliquary.png|300px|right|thumb|Cipher reliquaries.]]
Players must purchase {{item icon|Sanguine Cipher}}s from the [[Expedition Antiquarian]] {{convert coordinate|38.1, 7.0}} for {{enlightenment silver piece|600}} or {{enlightenment gold piece|960}}. When at least 16 players use the ciphers at a cipher reliquary {{convert coordinate|22.5, 21.4}} by the Solitary Pavilion landmark during {{weather icon|auroral mirages}} [[Auroral Mirages]] weather, an aetherial node will activate, teleporting them to within the tower after a brief period. Players must have a [[Knowledge Level]] of 20 to enter.

Spawn conditions for the auroral mirages weather are as follows:
*There are at least 16 players in the South Horn instance with knowledge level 20 and have completed {{questlink|feature|Past and Crescent}}.
*In a newly spawned (fresh) instance, the weather will appear after 5 minutes if the above condition is met.
**The timer can be reduced as explained below.
*Afterwards, the weather will respawn on a hidden 60 minute timer.
**The timer starts when there is no Forked Tower in the instance currently ongoing (indicated by the lack of the [[File:Forked Tower icon.png|24px]] tower icon in the minimap).
**The timer is reduced by 5 minutes for each successful completion of a Critical Encounter.
**The timer is reduced by 1 minute for each successful completion of a FATE.

When both the player count/progression requirement is met and the timer expires, the auroral mirages weather will appear.

The weather will last for approximately 5 minutes.

Up to 48 players may join the instance. If there are more than 48 players standing in the aetherial node, players will be randomly selected for teleportation, which will be indicated by the [[File:Right of entry forked tower icon.png|24px|link=]] '''Right of Entry: The Forked Tower''' status. Players who used a cipher will have a higher chance of being selected, which further increases for contributing a greater number of ciphers at once.

If the player is not selected to enter or if the tower does not activate because fewer than 16 players used ciphers, all players will be refunded their cipher(s).

Unlike standard content, players cannot be resurrected by normal means will have 3 non-replenishable stacks of the debuff [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted'''. Defeated players may only be resurrected by {{action icon|Revive}} from {{phantom job|chemist|name=y}} or level 3 healer [[Limit Break|limit breaks]]. Each time they are revived, they will lose one stack. When a player has no more stacks remaining, they will receive the [[File:Resurrection denied icon.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations|24px]] '''Resurrection Denied''' status, preventing resurrection by any means and must therefore leave the raid if they die again.
*There is a bug where players who are revived by a healer limit break when they have a pending resurrection from a chemist will lose 2 stacks.

Players may only swap their [[phantom job]] in the starting room of the raid. Once they leave the room, they will be given the [[File:Duties as assigned icon.png|24px|link=]] '''Duties as Assigned''' status and be unable to swap their job or phantom job.

==Objectives==
*Clear the Paleography Room.
*Clear the central passages.
*Clear the Astronomy Room.
*Clear the pronged passages.
*Clear the Glaciology Forum.
*Clear the binding lock.
*Clear the Haematology Room.

==Enemies and Bosses==
A minimum of 24 players is needed to resolve certain mechanics in the raid even though 16 players is the minimum entry requirement. Boss HP will scale based on the number of players in the raid, starting from 24.

Being hit with any avoidable AoEs during boss encounters will inflict a stack of [[File:Twice-come ruin icon1.png]] '''Thrice-come Ruin''' that lasts indefinitely until the end of the boss or until the player dies. If a player receives three stacks, they will be inflicted with {{status effect|doom}} '''[[Doom]]''' and die.

After defeating a boss, players have a random chance of receiving the [[File:Battle high icon.png|24px|link=]] '''Battle High''' status for 15 minutes, increasing their [[Critical Hit]] and [[Direct Hit Rate]] and providing healing-over-time.

===The Binding Lock===

===[[File:Aggressive difficulty r6.png|link=]] Infamy of Blood: [[Magitaur]]===

Note: Resurrection debuffs will not be removed after defeating Magitaur, so any player who dies with [[File:Resurrection denied icon.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations|24px]] '''Resurrection Denied''' will not be able to open the personal spoils coffer(s) from this boss or activate the Survey Point in the final room. However, they will still be rewarded with achievement progress.

==Phantom Chemist Resurrection Strategy==
In the event of a full raid wipe, all players must normally leave the raid regardless of how many stacks of [[File:Resurrection restricted icon1.png|link=Resurrect#Limitations]] '''Resurrection Restricted''' they still have, because the return prompt will take them back to the South Horn base camp. To allow for more boss attempts, players have devised a chemist "cheese" strategy:
#If a boss pull is deemed unsalvageable (e.g. there are too many deaths or if a DPS check will not be met), a designated chemist will sacrifice themselves by running into the death wall or incapacitating themselves via mechanics. It is also common to do this preemptively as "insurance" before common failure points such as the snowballs/fire tower mechanics in boss 2 or the Rune Axe/Holy Lance mechanics in boss 4.
#Another chemist will revive the sacrifice chemist, but that player will ''not'' accept the resurrection prompt. The Raise buff will need to be refreshed periodically to prevent it from expiring. Ideally, the reviving chemist should revive the sacrifice chemist outside of aggro range of the boss.
#Once the call to wipe has been made by the raid leader, all players will attempt to die at the south of the arena or outside of aggro range of the boss.
#After the party wipes and the boss resets, the sacrifice chemist will accept the raise.
#The sacrifice chemist will then revive the other players, ideally starting with chemists first so they can also help revive. All chemists will commonly be marked for visual identification.
#Once everyone's Weakness debuff has fallen off, the party can pull the boss again.

An alternative chemist "cheese" strategy requires a chemist to resurrect outside the arena and not participate in the fight:
#The chemist pulls the boss alone and dies near to the entrance
#A second chemist waits outside the arena
#The remainder of the alliance enters the arena and begins their countdown
#With 5s to pull, the second chemist resurrects the dead chemist outside the arena
#With 5s left on the rez timer, the dead chemist accepts

This results in the chemist resurrecting outside the arena, which has already completed its 'automatic pull in' at 45s after pull.

This strategy is not possible outside of boss encounters: e.g., a full raid wipe during the bridges encounter will end the run.

==Loot==
*800 {{enlightenment silver piece}} [[Enlightenment Silver Piece]]s
*{{tomestone|uncapped|80}} {{tomestone/uncapped-text}}
*{{tomestone|capped|40}} {{tomestone/capped-text}}

This duty uses '''personal loot''', so players will need to interact with and loot treasure coffers themselves. A full clear with all chests yields 30 {{item icon|Sanguinite}}.

===[[File:Bronze Coffer (small).png|link=]] Personal Spoils (Secret Nooks)===
There are four chests (two per side) in the hallways after the first boss. Each side has one room behind a locked door that can be opened from the other side by a [[Phantom Thief]] after maneuvering through a trick room, and two secret rooms in the north. The post-trick room chest yields 2 Sanguinite. A chest will appear in one of the two secret rooms in the north per side, yielding 3 Sanguinite.

==Trivia==
*The dungeon is inspired by the [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Fork_Tower Fork Tower] dungeon from FFV.
*The world first clear was from "Aether Group 2" on May 30, 2025 at 4:22 PM PST, after a progression time of 3 days and 14 hours (including initial quest progression and leveling to prepare for the raid)<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ctH0avSBiA</ref>.

==History==
*When originally released in [[patch 7.25]], this raid was heavily criticized by the playerbase for being difficult to form groups and enter. Notable issues raised were:
**The inability of a 48-player alliance to reliably queue into the same South Horn instance. Players instead needed to queue as 6 separate parties, often ending up in different instances. Thus, parties would need to leave the instance and re-queue several times until all parties were in the same instance, a process that could take more than an hour. This became known as "island gacha" within the Japanese playerbase and "instance prog" within the Western playerbase.
**The long wait time until the auroral mirages weather appeared in a fresh instance.
**The short time availability of the weather (5 minutes), sometimes causing players in critical encounters to miss the window entirely.
**The possibility of random players to "snipe", i.e. take the spots of players in premade groups by offering more ciphers. This often resulted in frustration from premade groups especially if a member with a critical phantom job was unable to enter. In addition, the difficulty of the raid made it possible for individual players to wipe the entire run at several points, increasing the risk from random players joining.
**The lack of a story-difficulty mode compared to Bozja's in-instance raids. The hard mode version is the only difficulty, limiting its accessibility to more casual players or those who did not wish to organize using Discord servers to clear content.
*Square Enix addressed some of the more common criticisms in [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/c2dd52470c21ab3fe507aaba914973280959ae92 Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LXXXVII] on June 20, 2025, which revealed that there had only been ~400 clears in the time that the raid was first released 23 days previously.
**The lack of a story mode, one of the main criticisms, was cited as due to having insufficient development resources in the allotted timeline.
*On July 1, 2025, Naoki Yoshida made a follow-up [https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/287711e33d1ae8cbe9e4012ff627e42cc330d08e Lodestone post] to clarify some of the changes that would be made, including:
:#The ability to enter the Occult Crescent instance with a preformed alliance of up to 48 players
:#Allowing auroral mirages to generate sooner after the Occult Crescent instance has loaded
:#Improvements to the cipher offering UI by showing a list of players who offered ciphers and how many they offered
:#Delaying auroral mirage generation until an active critical encounter has ended
:#Enabling exclusive access to the Occult Crescent instance for a set time when joining with a preformed alliance
*While these changes were originally scheduled for [[patch 7.3]] in early August, the first two changes were instead implemented in an emergency hotfix on Thursday, July 3.
*The remaining changes, along with other adjustments such as requiring all participating players to submit at least one cipher, would be implemented in patch 7.3.

==Enhancing Splendorous Tools==
Each splendorous tool requires a certain number of items to be delivered to [[Chora-Zoi]] in [[the Crystarium]] (X:10.5 Y:7.7) before it can be enhanced. The requisite items can be acquired by delivering [[collectables]] {{collectable}} to [[Quinnana]], also in [[the Crystarium]] (X:10.4 Y:7.7). Please note that the requisite items will vary depending on the tool.

Collectables can be acquired in the following ways for each [[Disciple of the Hand]] and [[Disciple of the Land|Land]]:

===Disciples of the Hand===
After completing the quest [[An Original Improvement]], new recipes for crafting [[collectables]] {{collectable}} will be added to the [[Crafting Log]]. Splendorous tools must be equipped when crafting with these new recipes. The materials for these recipes can be collected, bought from [[Quinnana]] at the [[Crystalline Mean]] in [[the Crystarium]] for white crafter's scrips, or bought from the market board.

====A Dedicated Tool (first enhancement, iLv 570)====
Craft '''20''' of the first-tier tool-specific collectibles at maximum collectability and trade them to Quinnana to receive 60 adaptive components. Give these to [[Chora-Zoi]] to complete the first upgrade.

====An Adaptive Tool (second enhancement, iLv 590)====
Craft '''30''' of the second-tier tool-specific collectibles at maximum collectability and trade them to Quinnana to receive 90 splendorous components. Give these to Chora-Zoi to complete the second upgrade.

====A Tool of Her Own (third enhancement, iLv 625)====
Craft '''30''' of the third-tier tool-specific collectibles at maximum collectability and trade them to Quinnana to receive 90 customized components. Give these to Chora-Zoi to complete the third upgrade.

====A Tool without Compare (fourth enhancement, iLv 630)====
Craft '''30''' of the third-tier tool-specific collectibles at maximum collectability and trade them to Quinnana to receive 90 brilliant components. Give these to Chora-Zoi to complete the fourth upgrade.
