Minions will always be sought after inFinal Fantasy XIV. There’s something for everybody and all tastes, and let’s face it, they’re cute. One of the newDawntraildungeons drops a particularly interesting one – I promise it’s cute, if you squint.

The Speaking Stone is… a bizarre little minion. It’s hard to tell where its eyes are – are those them, in what looks like its belly? I’m not sure. This one is definitely charming in its own way.

How to get the Speaking Stone minion in Final Fantasy XIV

To get the Speaking Stone minion the “official” way, you’ll need to reach level 95 and play through the MSQ until you unlock The Skydeep Cenote dungeon. You’ll get here after you reachYak T’el.

The Speaking Stone minion is a possible drop from the last coffer of this dungeon, so you’ll need to go through all three bosses – Feather Ray, Firearms, andMaulskull– before you have a chance to get the minion.

The drop rate for the Speaking Stone seems higher than the drop rate for most other dungeon obtainedDawntrailminions. I’ve run this dungeon a fair few times and seen it drop at least five times.
