Ranking All Endwalker Dungeons - Final Fantasy XIV

This video contains spoilers for the Endwalker expansion for Final Fantasy XIV.
Hello there! With Dawntrail so close on the horizon, I wanted to take one look back at all of the 4-player dungeons from Endwalker. (Not counting variant).
Each dungeon was given scores in 7 different categories which were then averaged out to give a final score. Then, each was assigned a rank from 13 to 1.
Of course, this is entirely my opinion based on my preferences and experiences. I'd expect your thoughts to be different! That's part of what makes this game so great.
Please be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

I never really liked dead ends myself, it just felt like amaurot 2.0 with “everything was awful, let me show you how”, though even then amaurot did it better imo. Selch was there since coming to the first and popped up on occasion and he had a goal at the end of the day compared to meteion showing up late game, and her motivations being basically “why bother living or being happy?”

[@dylansarrensen8010]

This was a fun video. Please make one for the other expansions, or just a big ranking of all the dungeons! I love the scoring method, although you could combine the boss scores into a single score to help make the numbers less “low” imo. Aetherfont feels more like a 7.5 or 8 rather than a 6.6.

I'm so happy Arkos (aka lightning bear) got the appreciation it deserved

[@zordiark9673]

Agree. If it werent for Scarmiglione and Cagnazzo (just for Lore-Reasons), it would be easily the most memorable Post-Game Boss.

[@Blyron1]

@@zordiark9673 I forget Scarmiglione's mechanics every time. To me, Arkos is the best and most memorable dungeon boss in the entire game, hands down. Of all the dungeon bosses that don't appear in the story or cutscenes, he's literally the only one I can remember the name of.

Great video! I loved Smileton!

[@chrisflowers8726]

I definitely agree with your top 3! I'd personally put Alzadaal's Legacy a bit higher up. I find that each boss, for better or worse, had such unique mechanics! And the settings were nice and varied too

[@echoely]

great video :)

[@zullie9614]

Great list, and I enjoyed this video a lot. But that music ranking for Dead Ends is a crime!

[@Staryused]

The music ranking for Ktisis Hyperboreia was even worse ☹

[@andrewclear8905]

We went to the Aetherfont to get Aether to go to the 13th’s moon :), or something like that. But, It wasn’t my favorite as the last boss is boring as .... My favorite was our Elpis dungeon.

[@Samtehcool]

4 for music on Ktisis Hyperboreia is criminally low

[@Yokai_Yuri]

Stigmascape is just perfect. I really liked the Omega Raid series which by far is superior to anything else offered, so to see how the Omicrons lived was nice. The Aetherfont is good but in the sense it's a quick dungeon. I love it in general, but don't think it's number 1.

[@HyouVizer]

Tower of Zot is _still_ the hardest Endwalker dungeon 😅

[@mutedmathamatician]

Troia at the bottom is crazy

[@dannewman4198]

Lost all respect when you gave Dead Ends music a 4

[@dn8617]

Smileton was trash.

[@omensoffate]

Endwalker was terrible in terms of dungeons. Good riddance

[@pjw1993]

I'd not go as far as saying terrible, but I totally agree that none of the Endwalker dungeons feel standout. Stormblood & Shadowbringers is my favourite era for dungeons. There are so many I don't get bored of, whilst in EW I found most got tedious quite quickly.

[@Zaikofortem]

The Aetherfornt is dogshit boring
