Did you know Final Fantasy XIV is adding a New Game+ mode? Yep, you can no go back and replay old expansion content without having to start all the way over with a new character. This is how you unlock it.
For the mentor roulette the conditions are: a) being a mentor, b) level 70, c) unlock all content including extreme ARR/HW and including the two Hidlibrand content and the two ARR relic content (not the savage and not the SB extreme) d) ilvl 355 (for the latest content to enter). Duty Roulette: Guildhest (Pretty irrelevant.).Challenge Log won't be unlocked in this tier if it's your first time around. While you need to be L16 to initially unlock it, it can be used by any level character thereafter.
I see people reference this all the time and I've got multiple 80s but somehow never unlocked it along the way. I have a few roulette options under the PvP tab but none of them include daily rewards and when I attempt queuing for any of the ones available to me the queue times are always extremely long so I'm guessing these are not the 'daily' ones people talk about. Duty Roulette: Guildhests places the player into a random guildhest the player has unlocked. Players can begin to participate in this Duty Roulette at level 10 or higher. The Roulette unlocks automatically when you unlock at least two Guildhests.
This is not the whole Heavensward expansion including patches, mind you: just the main scenario quest Heavensward, which capstones the expansion’s launch story. Once you complete that you can go to western Thanalan, outside the Waking Sands, and talk to the wistful whitebeard (X:12.0, Y:14.0).
As you complete certain quests in game you’ll unlock additional chapters, going all the way from Heavensward to Shadowbringers. Currently, the main scenarios are broken down as thus:
Essentially, parts 1 and 2 are the main scenario of the expansions themselves, and parts 3 and 4 are the follow-up main scenario quests found within the patches that came after. There are a couple of limitations to New Game+ currently, however. A Realm Reborn’s main scenario can’t be repeated (due to it being reworked entirely for a future patch); class job, and role quests are off the table; Chronicles of a New Era (raid) quests are not included; and side quests cannot be redone. These will be added in future updates, according to the patch notes.
Accessing New Game+ is simple: once unlocked just open the Duty menu and select New Game+. A menu of all the replayable chapters you’ve unlocked will be displayed, and you can jump into them from anywhere that isn’t an instance duty. Repeating this will allow you to suspend New Game+ as well, and return to the main game.
There are some restrictions while playing New Game+: you can register for uncompleted duties only if that are related to quests in progress in New Game+, you can queue for regular duties and your progress will be suspended where you left off, you cannot interact with the market board or retainers, and you cannot access the Unending Journey.
That’s how to unlock New Game+ in Final Fantasy XIV. Go back and enjoy that sweet, sweet nostalgia. Except that one scene in Heavensward…you know the one. Maybe skip that unless you enjoy having your heart broken again.

Okay, are we good? Cool, cause in this guide I’m going to show you how to unlock Hades Extreme: AKA the harder version of Shadowbringers final boss fight.
Head to X7.7, Y:12.5 when your level 80 and have completed the main scenario quest Shadowbringers. He’ll monologue a bit, as he does, and when he is done you’ll unlock access to Hades Extreme. The battle can be accessed like all previous extreme battles within the Duty Finder (it is officially called The Minstrel’s Ballad: Hades’s Elegy). Do bear in mind that you need to be at least at item level 450 to queue for the fight.
Yes, you can use the Party Finder, your free company, or the new fellowships gather a full squad of eight to go in under-geared, seeing as item level restrictions do not apply to full parties, but it’ll be rough going for all involved. I haven’t fought him myself yet, but I’d venture to guess he is akin to other extreme fights: individual deaths will ultimately contribute to full party wipes, and there will be an enrage timer, so maximizing your teams damage up-time will be critical to success.
That’s how to unlock Hades Extreme. Have fun, and best of luck. Remember, keep a cool head and try not to tilt: it takes calm nerves to win the day.
