In Final Fantasy XIV Stormblood, the quest “Stingrays versus Snakes” proves to be a stumbling block. Where are the cursed snakes? How can the cursed quest be solved? All information in our short guide to the infernal stingray quest in Stormblood.
Stormblood has been playable since June 16, and I have been diligently questing. So far, I have made good progress. I first hit a snag at level 63 and the quest “Stingrays versus Snakes.”
The Problem with the Quest Stingrays versus Snakes
The problem with the quest is: I need to fertilize water snakes while riding on a “Swimming/Flying Stingray”.
In two quest steps prior, I was also riding the stingray. I had to leave the village of Tamamizu, where the quest starts, heading west into the water and swim to specific points.
If I try to do this with the quest “Stingrays versus Snakes” in Final Fantasy XIV, I go crazy. I can’t reach the points that are indicated on the mini-map. They are simply not accessible by water.
The Solution to the Final Fantasy XIV Quest “Stingrays versus Snakes”
The nasty part here is: I have to leave the village heading east – “on the ground”, meaning flying over land with the stingray.
When I then turn right when leaving the village, I exit the cave system and can easily find the three sought-after locations under the open sky, fertilize the snakes, and go my way.
The nasty part about the quest is that I was completely conditioned differently in the two prior quests, I am set to “It’s all in the water – the stingray can only swim” and therefore, I have been struggling with a relatively simple quest.
Have you also had such experiences where there is simply a blockage in some quests that you can’t overcome?
If you have completed the quest, the next stumbling block is probably the Primals fight against Susanoo. How that goes, we explain to you in this article:
