One Golem to Rule Them All

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* The enemy gathers, and the time for the final confrontation draws nigh. Confident that you have primed your powers to the fullest, Lalai bids you join her─which is to say Shatotto─the Hearer Zhai'a Nelhah, and your beastman friends before the entrance to Anyx Trine. Prepare as you must and be on your way.
* At Anyx Trine, Shatotto─who has once again roused herself from slumber─briefs you on the plan of attack. Before doing battle on the sacred peak of Sohm Al, however, Zhai'a Nelhah would have you seek the blessing of the dragons who call this place home. Shatotto consents to the proposal, and you set off to seek a word with your old friend Vidofnir.
* You are relieved to hear that Vidofnir, too, did sense the golem menace, and has no objection with your proposed course of action. Shatotto, for her part, is eager that the dragons will not stand in the way of the destruction she hopes to wreak. As your beastman friends deal with the straggling golems attempting to scale the mountains, you prepare to scale the peak with the sorceress and Zhai'a Nelhah to do battle with the abomination that awaits you.
* The mother of all golems is no more, and the comet that threatened to reduce the realm to rubble has sailed safely off to the heavens, with any fortune never to return.
* Shatotto congratulates you on your efforts, declaring you a worthy heir to her legacy─and the legacy of black magic itself─before her memory fades away. Lalai offers her own words of praise, before promptly getting into another tiff with her eternal nemesis Zhai'a Nelhah. Leaving the Hearer behind to reflect upon matters of etiquette, you and Lalai set off to share tidings of your triumph with your beastman friends.
* The beastmen rejoice upon hearing of your victory, and celebrate a triumphant day in the annals of black magic before taking their leave, proud to have reaffirmed your mutual friendship. Even Lalai and Zhai'a Nelhah come to a grudging but strong mutual acceptance─as the black mage thanks the Hearer for his efforts, and the Hearer promises to work for a day where practitioners of the black arts need no longer toil in the shadows. After Zhai'a cordially departs, Lalai invites you back to the Sacrarium to reflect upon the events of the day.
* Reflecting on the Hearer's parting words, Lalai has made a resolution. She vows to follow the lead of Master Ququruka, putting every detail of your adventures together to paper in hopes that one day, the duties of your illustrious forebear and her friends will be known to the realm at large. Expressing her deep admiration for your profound mastery of the dark arts, she flashes a rare smile, deeply moved to have found another important calling in her life.
※The next black mage quest will be available from Lalai once you have met the following requirements:
※ You must have registered a product key for FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers to your service account.
※ You must have completed the main scenario quest “Shadowbringers.”
※ You must have completed the role quest “A Tearful Reunion.”
==Objectives==
* Join Shatotto at Anyx Trine.
* Speak with Vidofnir.
* Speak with Shatotto.
* Speak with Kazagg Chah.
* Speak with Lalai at Milvaneth Sacrarium.

Lalai 	[Player Name]. I trust you have prepared yourself well. Our foe musters at Anyx Trine. The hour of our final confrontation is nigh.
Lalai 	The Hearer and our beastman friends are en route to the forelands as we speak, and I would join them with all haste. Come as soon as you are able─Shatotto will be awaiting your arrival.
 	
Zhaianelhah 	Deep in the mountains, the golems feed on each other with brutal savagery even as we speak, their thirst for power nigh unquenchable.
 	
Kazagg Chah 	To fell the feral golems and cast away the baleful star from the sky, whatever strength I can summon from within me is yours.
 	
Dozol Meloc 	Squawwwk! N-Not with fear do Dozol's limbs shake, but with passion and exhilaration for the battle to come! G-Great passion. Tremendous passion!
 	
Daza 	The golem will not grow too large, will it? I prefer foes to be more compact like myself─tiny, puny, compact.
 	
Shatotto 	Why, thank you so very much, Lalai. What with my own corporeal form having long since faded to dust, it is an honor and a pleasure to see my legacy carried on by women, men, and beastmen after my own─oops, was I just speaking aloud?
Shatotto 	You can stop gawking any time now. Or have you forgotten that we have an army of power-hungry golems bent on destroying our realm to dispose of? Fortunately, I have already formulated the perfect plan of attack. You three will see to the stragglers still attempting to scale the mountain. I trust you can handle that much?
Shatotto 	The Hearer, [Player Name], and myself will scale the summit, where the oversized, augmented agglomeration of golems surely awaits us.
Zhaianelhah 	If I may be so bold, Lady Shatotto, I would proffer a small amendment to this plan. Sohm Al, as you surely know, is a holy place to all the dragons who call this land home─I am ill inclined to wage battle without first obtaining their blessing.
Zhaianelhah 	The Elder Seedseer has told me that [Player Name] has a friend among their kind. Mayhap it would be best if s/he sought the counsel of this Vidofnir before we proceed.
Shatotto 	I can't believe I'm saying this, but that's hardly the worst idea I've heard today! After all, it could hardly hurt to add another powerful ally to our ranks. What are we waiting for, then? Lead the way!
 	
Zhaianelhah 	A master of the dark arts and a confidant of dragons? You never cease to surprise me, friend.
 	
Shatotto 	It's a good thing we have you to preemptively clear up any potential misunderstandings. While I'm confident in my ability to eradicate any foe, incinerating an entire dragon would leave an awful mess.
 	
Vidofnir 	An unholy menace doth gather in our midst, threatening to summon doom from the heavens down upon this realm─such is thy plight?
Vidofnir 	I, too, did sense the presence of an intruder in our sacred home. At first, I was content to observe, but the danger hath grown too great.
Vidofnir 	...Warrior of warriors. If thou and thine would take up arms against our common foe, thou dost have my blessing.
Shatotto 	Well, that's a ringing endorsement if I've ever heard one! Hearer─send word to our beastman friends: we commence the operation at once!
Shatotto 	There's no time to lose, [Player Name]. Let's make for the summit and dispose of the abomination that awaits us before the comet gets too close for comfort!
 	
Vidofnir 	Warrior of warriors...I leave the removal of the intruder in thy capable hands.
 	
Zhaianelhah 	...Understood. Pray leave the rest to us.
Zhaianelhah 	Lady Shatotto. My colleague from the Observatorium has confirmed your suspicions. On its current path, the falling star will sail wide of us─if by the slimmest of margins. And yet that path shifts with every second, bringing us slowly but inexorably to the brink of calamity.
Zhaianelhah 	Call it a hunch, but I do believe this imposing fellow might be responsible.
Shatotto 	Well, I'm glad to see that the obvious hasn't escaped you. At any rate, our task is clear: we need only reduce him to dust before he can summon his dear mother any closer.
Shatotto 	Well, [Player Name]? Are you ready to stand alongside the greatest mage to ever live in a battle for the very future of your world? Look sharp─this is our time to shine!
 	
Zhaianelhah 	Victory is ours. I only pray it does not come too late.
Shatotto 	Perhaps if you had some black magic in your repertoire...but it is no matter. I have the utmost faith that [Player Name] and my efforts were not in vain.
Zhaianelhah 	That light! The Twelve have mercy...
Shatotto 	Here it comes...and there it goes! And with that, my friends, I do believe we've been spared a most crushing fate.
Shatotto 	Stand tall, [Player Name]─you and I just saved the world. And I suppose I should thank you as well, Hearer, for doing a most remarkable job of not mucking everything up.
Shatotto 	And with that, I believe my work here is done. While I'd love nothing more than to stay and savor our victory a bit longer, all good things must come to an end...
Shatotto 	Don't look all sad, now. With such promising protégés to carry on my legacy, I can go to rest knowing that I did not mother the art of destruction in vain.
Shatotto 	You have seen our art wielded for the greatest of good and the worst of evil. Having witnessed firsthand your prowess and the sheer strength of your resolve, I gladly leave the future of our art in your hands. Walk the path well, [Player Name] of the black...
Shatotto 	...That millennia from now, when we have long since faded to a dim memory, those who follow in our footsteps may yet wield their prodigious powers against any who would bring harm to our fair realm.
Lalai 	Be proud, [Player Name]. Having shared a mind with Mistress Shatotto all this time, I can assure you that effusive praise does not come easily to her lips. I can still scarcely believe she did me the honor of choosing my body as a vessel...
Zhaianelhah 	Before meeting her in the flesh─in a manner of speaking─I had assumed Death's Handmaiden was little more than a witch obsessed with fire and destruction. It would seem my impression may have been in error.
Lalai 	May have been? Does your prudish, pigheaded prejudice know no end!?
Zhaianelhah 	Hmph! As charming as ever, I see. I daresay you could learn a thing or two from your esteemed forebear on how to treat a gentleman!
Lalai 	Oh, is that so!? [Player Name]! If you happen to see any gentlemen around these parts, do let me know/I do believe I treat true gentlemen just fine─as [Player Name] here would know.
Lalai 	At any rate, we are done here. Let us leave this uncultured boor here to reflect for a bit on how to treat a lady.
 	
Vidofnir 	The presence hath lifted─the unholy intruder defiles these sacred grounds no more. Thou hast served us well, child of man.
 	
Zhaianelhah 	Our beastman allies await us at Anyx Trine. We must share word of our triumph without delay.
 	
Lalai 	I know not if our beastman friends saw the comet cross the sky, but they are doubtless eager to hear tidings of our final battle. Let us go and set their minds at ease.
 	
Dozol Meloc 	Squawwwk! Return from battle, Dozol's friends do! Safe from harm, you are?
 	
Daza 	I saw the comet sailing through the sky─hurtling, shooting, sailing! You are safe, yes? Yes, yes, you are!
 	
Kazagg Chah 	Many golems did come to scale the peak, but they come no more─laid low by our magicks. The heavens, too, are calm─I trust your battle with the great beast ended in victory?
Zhaianelhah 	Just so, my friend. Not to boast, but even Lady Shatotto was most impressed with our efforts. Is that not so, [Player Name]?
Daza 	Three cheers for Shatotto! Three cheers for [Player Name]! Three cheers for the art of destruction! Huzzah, huzzah, huzzah!
Zhaianelhah 	Far be it from me to rain on your parade, but let us not forget that the healer in your ranks played at least a small part in your victory.
Dozol Meloc 	Squawwwk! A happy day, this is! Fly home to share the joy with his brothers and sisters, Dozol will! You will visit Dozol again to share magical learnings, yes? Till then, friend!
Kazagg Chah 	I, too, must take my leave. But know that even when we are apart, we always stand as one. Till next we meet, my friend.
Zhaianelhah 	I, too, must return to Gridania to deliver my official report. I suppose this is farewell, at least for now.
Lalai 	Well, don't let us keep you. Though...ah, I was wondering if I might express my gratitude to your colleagues at the Observatorium. On behalf of Mistress Shatotto, that is...
Zhaianelhah 	Leave that to me. I fear not all of my friends are so open-minded─if they were to learn that I had allied myself with beastmen and practitioners of the dark arts, there is no telling what sort of twisted rumors might spread...
Zhaianelhah 	Fear not, Lalai. You have my word that as Hearer and healer, I will do aught I can to work toward a day when you and your fellows can stand proud and receive credit for all the good you have done.
Lalai 	I could not bear to say this in his presence, but our Hearer friend has come quite far, wouldn't you say? I, too, would do everything in my power to make that day a reality.
Lalai 	And with that, I do believe our job here is done. Shall we return to the Sacrarium?
 	
Lalai 	Welcome back, [Player Name]. Once again, I must express my gratitude for all you have done, as well as my profound respect─you have mastered our art to a degree that few of us ever attain.
Lalai 	While it is not like me to dwell on such matters, I was just reflecting on the Hearer's words. Once again, the truth of the battle we waged will never be known to those we fought to save.
Lalai 	Needless to say, we do not do what we do for accolades or glory. We do it because it must be done─and to sate our own intellectual curiosity. And yet, it does not sit well with me...
Lalai 	No, I cannot just turn a blind eye while the deeds of my friends and mentors are swallowed by history, never again to see the light.
Lalai 	When the day will come that we can emerge from the shadows, I cannot say. But for that day─and for the eyes of all who would follow in our footsteps─I would put all I have seen to paper, just as Master Ququruka once did.
Lalai 	All we have learned of our realm and the arcane, of course─but that is not all. I would write of the bravery of our beastman friends, of a stubborn and self-important Hearer who against all odds proved himself a friend...
Lalai 	Most of all, I would write of the illustrious founder of our glorious art, and the adventurer who she would personally entrust with carrying on her legacy. Why, I daresay the chapter will write itself!
