Have You Cleared Rank 3?
If you have not cleared Gladiator Rank 3, please go ahead and do that now. You won’t be able to start Rank 4 until that is cleared.
Are You Level 30+?
While you may have completed the previous difficulty rank, you may be under the level required for Rank 4. So to unlock Gladiator Hunting Log Rank 4, you’ll also need to be at least Level 30.
Gladiator Hunting Log Rank 4
You will need to defeat 3 or 4 of each type (most are 4) to tick them off the list. There are 13 types of enemy to take down.
Reward: 30,000 
Rank 4 Targets
Reward:
11,000Floating Eye
Number Required: 4
One giant, freaky eyeball…with wings, a mouth and tongue. Nothing unusual then!
Floating Eye Location
These are found in the Sorrel Haven, Central Shroud. More precisely, the Floating Eyes are…floating, well “flying” around the grounds of Haukke Manor. There’s nearly always one just outside the gate but there are plenty beyond it.

Mamool Ja Sophist
Number Required: 3
The Mamool Ja are an odd beast tribe that you pretty much only have “aggressive negotiations” with. Except the odd case of Martyn the Blue Mage. The least said about that the best, really!
Mamool Ja Sophist Location
These are found in two different parts of the Bronze Lake area. The first is towards Zelma’s Run. The other is on the left (South) as you head towards Jijiroon’s Trading Post and Ferry Dock.

Reward:
12,000Adamantoise
Number Required: 3
Still huge, but not as big as a Giant Tortoise, the Adamantoises make up for this size deficit by being aggressive (TBC). Whoop.
Adamantoise Location
These are found South-West of Camp Tranquil in Rootslake, South Shroud, heading towards The Lost City of Adampor. There you’ll find at least five Adamantoise with a few further away too. If you find yourself with a wall of Revenants, turn back.
THM vs GLA
Adamantoise appear in THM31 and require you to defeat 2 of them.

Uragnite
Number Required: 4
If you’re thinking “haven’t I seen these somewhere before?” then the answer is – kind of, yes. You’ve already had to take out Scaphites as part of Gladiator Rank 2.
Uragnite Location
These are found in the waters of Bronze Lake. As you head away (South West) from Camp Bronze Lake, they can be found up to, but not after, the cross-path. If you meet a Salamander, you’ve gone too far!

Reward:
12,500Sandworm
Number Required: 4
These delightful things slither around the Sagolii Desert ready to attack anyone who gets too close. Don’t think being a Warrior of Light will stop them. Thankfully you get rewarded for putting down four Sandworms.
Sandworm Location
These are found out in Southern Thanalan, Sagolii Desert, unless the FATEs at Forgotten Springs are on. They do move around a bit, so I’ve marked a few locations on the map where I found them. You may need to roam a little, especially if others are also clearing that part of their hunting log.
Example coords are X:16.5, Y:33.4 and X: 15.6 Y: 35.3 among other places.

If Fallen Wizard is in one of your logs, they’re near here, too.

Reward:
13,000Deathgaze
Number Required: 4
They look as ugly and menacing as the name suggests. They are flying critters that all seem to gather at the same point. Bring your AoE attacks, because you’ll almost certainly aggro more than one Deathgaze at a time anyway. As the Warrior of Light, you’re not going to be put off by that, right?
Deathgaze Location
These are found in the Central Shroud, at the location known as Sanguine Perch (around X:17.8, Y:22.0).

Reward:
13,500Velociraptor
Number Required: 4
For those of us still living with the nightmares of Jurassic Park 2, it’s nice to know FFXIV gives us a way to deal with Velociraptors. And turn them into food and armour!
Velociraptor Location
These are found along the path that runs West-to-East near Camp Overlook, heading towards the Floating City of Nym. Having had to clear this at the same time as someone else (or they were collecting Culinarian ingrediants/leathers) I can say the respawn timer is fine. Or go kill off another Hunting Log entry then come back.

Reward:
14,000Fallen Wizard
Number Required: 4
Wandering the sandy wastes are these Undead. Among them are Fallen Wizards, animated through foul sorcery. I’d say “put them out of their misery”, but they seem content enough, freaking out anyone not undead. Take that righteous Gladiator or Paladin sword to them.
Fallen Wizard Location
They are found in the Sagolii Desert near a mound that looks like there may have once been a ruin here? Regardless, they’re South-East of Byregot’s Strike (which is at X19.4, Y:36.0).

Reward:
14,500Snow Wolf Pup
Number Required: 4
Aw, a puppy! One with enormous claws, and fangs and might rip your face off. Maybe the Snow Wolf Pup is not so cute, eh?
Snow Wolf Pup Location
These are found West of the Observatorium not far from the entrance to Dzemael Darkhold. Don’t do what I did and stray further into the Boulder Downs where Snow Wolves are. Stick within the Dragonhead boundary!
Alternative Aetheryte
Revenant’s Toll in Mor Dhona isn’t much different in distance away than the Camp Dragonhead one.

Reward:
15,000Treant
Number Required: 4
Given these are the Guardians of the Twelveswood and aren’t diseased in any way, I do wonder why Gladiators have to defeat some Treants. Blame the Calamity for altering their behaviour – that does seem to be the easiest excuse!
Treant Location
These are found in throughout the Snakemolt “pass” between Quarrymill and Rootslake. If you haven’t unlocked Amdapor Keep yet, then you can hit two Treants with one stone. Guess you’d still need to defeat the Treants, now that you’ve annoyed them with stones. Use your Gladiator skills instead then?
Aetherytes
While I think, technically Quarrymill is the closest, if you’re already near Camp Tranquil then don’t bother teleporting to Quarrymill.

Reward:
16,000Vodoriga
Number Required: 4
These dragon-esque warped Voidsent plague Witchdrop. Send them back to where they belong would you?
Vodoriga Location
These are found at Witchdrop, just North East of Camp Dragonhead. You’ll have to actually descend to the foot of it too. I suggest finding the nice, easy path down rather than jumping down. Unless you want to find out if you’re a Dragon or whether Halone is there to welcome you. Your choice, I guess.

Reward:
16,500Grenade
Number Required: 3
A cousin, sister or brother of the similar-looking enemies on various Hunting Logs in FFXIV. Just as explosive and in your face. Don’t let them explode your face, it won’t be pretty.
Grenade Location
These are found around the Iron Lake – look for the bright yellowy-orange ground and you’ll be alright. Iron Lake is North East of Camp Overlook and due North of the 789th Order Dig Site. There are also loads of Grenades, even if Fire in the Hole is not active.

Hippocerf
Number Required: 4
You’re not hippo-surfing, unfortunately. These perculiar creatures just amble about in some sort of depressed state. In some situations – maybe a FATE – there are “Downcast Hipoocerfs”, which is actually really sad. It probably has something to do with having wings that don’t make them fly but not having the stern look of a Velociraptor. Maybe.
Hippocerf Location
You can find Hippocerfs as you head towards Snowcloak (South-West) away from Whitebrim Front.

Total EXP
- EXP for Each Level: 138,000

Plus whatever EXP you get for the actual defeating of the targets.
TL;DR Taken ’em All Down for Gladiator Hunting Log Rank 4!
Phew, we made it. Well, you made it – so well done! Four down and only one to go. The real bonus of the log is the amount of EXP you get from it. This is especially useful if you’re trying to level more quickly or Gladiator/Paladin is not your primary class. Gladiator Hunting Log Rank 4 takes you to a wide variety of locations with difference scenery and weather, try to enjoy the journey as well!
