The adventurer ' s first major assignment from Minfilia is to investigate disappearances in Eastern Thanalan with Thancred . Investigating both Camp Drybone and the clergy at the Church of Saint Adama Landama , they learn the ruffian Ungust ( who was previously encountered in an altercation in Ul ' dah ) had been impersonating as a priest to traffic refugees to the Amalj ' aa to be tempered by the Lord of the Inferno . An attempt to entrap the Amalj ' aa in a sting operation leads to the adventurer being sold out by corrupt Brass Blades . Taken to the Bowl of Embers , the Amalj ' aa turn on Ungust and the corrupt soldiers by having them tempered in Ifrit ' s flames . The primal tries to claim the adventurer next , but is horrified when that fails due to being " godless blessed " as the paragons had warned . A fierce confrontation ensues in which the Lord of the Inferno is slain and banished to the aether , leaving behind a fire crystal . Thancred arrives with the Immortal Flames to fend off the Amalj ' aa priest and rescue the hostages . As they leave , Nero tol Scaeva and Livia sas Junius are seen monitoring the fight from a cliff , with the former disappointed in the primal ' s weakness . Having bested the god of the Amalj ' aa , the adventurer gains notoriety in the realm , with the Grand Companies of Eorzea arriving at the Waking Sands with representatives hoping to recruit the one who slew the primal . Ifrit appears at the Howling Eye where Garuda forces captured Amalj ' aa and kobolds to summon Ifrit and Titan under torture , seemingly with the intent of absorbing them .

Ifrit ' s defeat is short - lived , however , as the Amalj ' aa summon him yet again using a strange ritual focus made from Amalj ' aa bones .
