How to unlock Heaven-on-High in Final Fantasy XIV – Destructoid

There are a total of three Deep Dungeons in Final Fantasy XIV and if you’re looking for a way to grab exclusive weapons or rewards, these are a great option. Once you get into Stormblood, you’ll soon be able to unlock the level 61 Heaven-on-High.

Unlike the Palace of the Dead, where you go deeper and deeper underground as you progress through each floor, the 100 floors of Heaven-on-High are visible in the overworld as a huge, seemingly endless tower in the sea of ​​rubies.

However, just because you can see it doesn’t necessarily mean you can enter it once you get to the base. You’ll need to meet a few requirements before you can start your ascent to the skies:

  • Complete the MSQ quest “Tide Goes In, Imperials Go Out” at level 63.
  • Complete level 50 of the Palace of the Dead.

Once you’ve done both, you can unlock Heaven-on-High by speaking to Hamakaze in the Ruby Sea (X:6.2, Y11.7) and accepting the quest “Knocking on Heaven’s Door.”

Once you unlock Heaven-on-High, you’ll gain access to the first 100 floors. As with all Deep Dungeons, you can only reach Heaven-on-High by physically traveling there and speaking to the NPC guarding the entrance.

To enter Heaven Above, you must go to the Ruby Sea and speak to Kyusei (X:21.4, Y:9.2).

Before you can progress past level 30 of Heaven-on-High, you must complete the quest “On the Shoulders of Giants,” which you can accept from Kyusei once you’ve completed floor 30.

You can then enter Heaven-on-High on the 31st floor provided you meet the following requirements:

  • Start on floor 1 or 21 and complete floor 30
  • Achieve this without ever wiping out the party

After that, provided you have a Heaven on High save file that meets the above requirements, you will have the option to enter the 31st floor when speaking to Kyusei.
