ultimate
What does ultimate mean?
FFXIV's most brutal raid difficulty. Long, punishing fights with no Echo buff to soften your damage, so you clear it clean or not at all.
"We've been prog-ing this ultimate for three weeks and still aren't at enrage."
Origin
From Final Fantasy XIV's 'Ultimate' raid difficulty, the toughest content in the game.
Frequently asked questions
What's the Echo and why does Ultimate not have it?
The Echo is a buff that boosts your stats on repeated wipes to help you grind through. Ultimate switches it off so the fight never gets easier — you have to genuinely master it.
