FFXIV Gladiator Hunting Log 3 (2024)

Have You Cleared Rank 2?

If you have not cleared Gladiator Rank 2, please go ahead and do that now. You won’t be able to start Rank 3 until that is cleared.

Are You Level 20+?

It is totally possible to clear a difficulty rank of the Hunting Log while under the minimum level of the next rank. So to unlock Gladiator Hunting Log Rank 3, you’ll also need to be at least Level 20.

You will need to defeat 3 or 4 of each type (most are 4) to tick them off the list. There are 12 types of enemy to take down.

Reward: 20,000

Kedtrap

Number Required: 3

Yay, another semi-sentient plant. Kedtraps are huge, moving "flowers" that spit seeds at you. It's so nice to know the Twelveswood is so calm and tranquil. Also, have you seen an actual Ked, yet? If anything these blooms would be trapped by the Keds, not vice versa!

Kedtrap Location

These can be picked off individually, so I've marked a few dots on the map. However, the easiest way to clear it is if the FATE Kickin' it with the Kedtraps is on.

Stoneshell

Number Required: 4

I bet you can't work out what these creatures' primary defence is, can you?! Thankfully, even if someone else is clearing their Hunting Log Rank 3 at the same time as you, there are loads of Stoneshells for you here.This crab is kind of like a distant relative of Thanalan's Thickshell. I was going to link the related FFXIV hunting logs, but it's all three from Thanalan, so I won't!

Location

These crabs are in the Oakwood part of Upper La Noscea. It is quicker and easier to reach this by taking the road North from Western La Noscea.If you do teleport to Camp Bronze Lake and don't have flying yet, head to the boat ferry.

Lead Coblyn

Number Required: 4

These rock-munching critters can be found in the tunnel between Vesper Bay and Cape Westwind further North. The Lead Coblyn is just another variety of the many found in Eorzea and other regions.

Lead Coblyn Location

Remember the Bloated Bogy from Gladiator Rank 2 (and Pugilist and Thaumaturge)? It's the same tunnel - just a bit deeper in.

Overgrown Offering

Number Required: 4

There's probably a quest somewhere around here that explains who these Overgrown Offerings are for or to. Suffice to say that they won't exactly be willing sacrifices.

Overgrown Offering Location

These can be found to the West of Quarrymill. Or, more accurately, North-East of Buscarron's Druthers. They're not difficult to spot, what with being "overgrown" and all that.

Coeurl Pup

Number Required: 4

You know that cute little Coeurl Kitten minion you get really early on in FFXIV? Well, early-ish anyway. That kitten becomes a Coeurl Pup (no confusion there). Well I hope your sofa or garden is big for when kitty grows up!

Coeurl Pup Location

You can find the pups at Fool Falls in Upper La Noscea - you know, on the island with no Aetheryte. There are a few pups here, but also some full-grown ones. Just giving you a heads up.

Balloon

Number Required: 4

Balloons are self-powering, self-detonating balls of flaming fury. It's probably not advisable for you to hand these out at a children's birthday party. At least Bomb was an accurate description!

Balloon Location

You can find these floating around in ones or twos West of Fallgourd Float. They mingle with the Banemites, which is great if you need the materials to make Velveteen. Not so great otherwise.

Sabotender

Number Required: 4

These walking Cacti roam around Little Ala Mhigo in Southern Thanalan. Do look for the little hunting log symbol over their "heads" though. This is because not all Sabotenders bear the name without some other word attached! Have fun having loads of needles flung in your direction. You'd better put those combat skills to use with some interrupts! These can be found South of Little Ala Mhigo towards "Burnt Lizard Creek". Lovely.

Qiqirn Roerunner

Number Required: 4

Wherever the Qirqirn go, trouble seems to ensue. This time it's the Qiqirn Roerunner causing the caffuffle. There's no wonder the poor innocent trading one in Limsa is terrified! Very often they want shinies or sparklies and they definitely don't want you looting their loot!

Where are the Roerunners?

Unfortunately, they're on the far side of Highbridge in Eastern Thanalan, then South of there. You can find them near the Yugr'am River.That's a long ride - or a slightly less-long flight if you're doing this after completing A Realm Reborn.

Involved in FATEs

The thing about "FATEs" here is that it's a "FATE-chain". It begins with Attack on Highbridge: Prelude and is five FATEs long.Your Qiqirn Roerunners (not, as some call them, Roadrunners!) are involved in them. Along with a whole hoard/gaggle of rat-folk.

Goblin Thug

Number Required: 4

No trading tongueflaps for jingly-shine when gobbieflock swift-takes jinglyshine from goodly uplander by pointy-stabby things.

Goblin Thug Location

While they may be experienced in thuggery, these Goblin Thugs do give themselves away when it comes to their location. Goblinsmeet. It's even labelled on the map East of Quarrymill!/facepalm.

Coeurlclaw Cutter

Number Required: 4

Did no one ever tell these Miqo'te that it's cruel to cut the claws of cats? I'd've thought that was clear to that race of all of them! Anyhow, Coeurlclaw Cutters are the Gladiator-esque Miqo'te with a dagger and wooden shield.

Coeurlclaw Cutter Location

You can find them among other Coeurlclaw combatants outside of Takers Rot. And there are enough to be able to clear the log even if the nearby FATE is not on. You may have to wait for one or two to respawn depending on other players' activity but that's all.

Apkallu

Number Required: 4

Apkallu are cute birds that provide eggs and down for crafting and spit fish to interrupt your casting. Oh, that rhymed. And they are targets for multiple jobs, not just casters, sooo never mind!

I'm not sure why they appear on so many Hunting Logs, though! Maybe like seagulls in our own cities they've become pests. Or it's the fish-spitting.

Where are the Apkallu?

They are in Eastern La Noscea on and near to the road to Lower la Noscea. There is also a convenient rock that a few always gather on. The rock's coordinates are X:29.1, Y:35.8.

That makes it easy to clear this stage of the Rank 3 Hunting Log.

Pteroc

Number Required: 3

Pteroc are fire-breathing wannabe "Pterocdactyl", maybe? They don't fly, but they do try. They're a type of puk, which seem common to Vylbrand.

Pteroc Location

It's a fair walk or ride from Camp Overlook in Outer La Noscea, if you haven't got flight yet. Head to where this area leads to Upper La Noscea and you'll find a few for your Hunting Log, no problem.
