Welcome to the very last guide in this series – the FFXIV Rogue Hunting Log Rank 5! And, for you Ninja, it’s the last stage for your class or job. Much of Rank 5 takes place in Mor Dhona before culminating in a direct assault on a Garlean stronghold. So sharpen your daggers and senses, and let’s see what’s in store for you, shall we?
When Can I Started Rank 5?
When
- You have cleared Rogue Hunting Log 4, and
- Are at least Level 40 as a Rogue or Ninja.
Rogue Hunting Log Rank 5 Targets
Reward: 
40,000
Reward:
17,000Golden Fleece
Number Required: 4
There are also plenty of them if you wander around the Burning Wall, if someone else isn’t there farming them for Snurble Tufts. I know it’s a long way from Camp Drybone, but if you do see someone doing that – come back later.
Region/Area
Eastern Thanalan: The Burning Wall
Nearest Aetheryte
Eastern Thanalan: Camp Drybone
Reward:
17,500Quartz Doblyn
Number Required: 4
You will have no problems finding a Quartz Doblyn once you know roughly where to look!
So, Tell me Where To Look Already!
Okay then! Head to the Burning Wall in Eastern Thanalan. If you don’t have flight in Eorzea yet, be prepared for a long ride.
Involved in FATE
There are four FATEs involving the Quartz Doblyn, but only one takes place in Eastern Thanalan:
See Northern Thanalan FATEs if you want other options too.

Eastern Thanalan: Burning Wall

Eastern Thanalan: Camp Drybone (not exactly near!)
Reward:
18,500Nix
Number Required: 4
The Nix is yet another giant toad species that can be found pretty much as soon as you exit Revenant’s Toll to the West. Look for the giant crystalline formation then just circle round it to clear this Hunting Log entry. Alternatively, if the FATE below is on, then you can do it that way, if you want to. As with all Gigantoad races, expect Sticky Tongue and their push-back AoE skills to knock you around a bit.
Involved in FATE
Toll Collector
Bear in mind, there are non-FATE Nix in the area that you will aggro if you level sync into the FATE.
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Fogfens
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revanant’s Toll
Reward:
18,500Mudpuppy
Number Required: 5
Think of mud. Now think of a puppy. What you’ve got here is nothing like what you just imagined! These slimy critters share attacks from similar Eft-like enemies such as the Salamander. Just be aware that it does throw distance AoEs so do the brave thing and run away from them. Or strike from closer initially.
Mudpuppy Location
Head out the South-Western exit of Revenant’s Toll and past the camp of the same name. Hug the hills on the right (literally if that’s your thing) and you’ll find mudpuppies. Some also roam close to the water at The Tangle.

Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Fogfens
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenant’s Toll
Reward:
19,000Daring Harrier
Number Required: 2
The Daring Harrier and Raging Harrier can be found through the icy/crystalline tunnel off The Tangle.
Although not in a Hunting Log, the Hexing Harriers cast the really interrupt spell, so it’s worth targeting them first.
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Fogfens (Rathfrost)
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenants Toll
Raging Harrier
Number Required: 2
Along with the Daring Harrier and their “Hexing” counterpart (who is not a Hunting Log target), you can find the Raging Harrier high up in Mor Dhona in an area called Rathefrost.
Take out any nearby Hex-ers first because they tend to cast an interrupting debuff which gets annoying very quickly!
There are only three Harriers though, so if another player has been through here very recently, you’ll have to wait for them to respawn. Or, go take out other nearby targets and come back.
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Fogfens (Rathfrost)
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenants Toll
Reward:
19,500Gigas Shramana
Number Required: 2
The Gigas Shramana are the axe-wielders of whatever type of giants these are. Along with their fellows, they roam the eastern region of Mor Dhona.
I get confused with this, because they are not Shamans (e.g. healers). Those are the Gigas Sozu.
Where are the Shramana?
Outside of FATEs, I could only find four, which is more than you need.
They are spread around, though, which is why I haven’t put general coordinates in. Just head into Northern Silvertear and, well, hunt! This is a hunting log, yes?
Involved in FATEs
Region/Area
Mor Dhona: Northern Silvertear
Nearest Aetheryte
Mor Dhona: Revenant’s Toll
Gigas Sozu
Number Required: 2
Do you pronounce it gy-gas or gee-gas? Whatever you call the Gigas Sozu and their other tribe members, the one you want is the healer, sporting a two-handed cane. They mostly just throw the Stone skill at you, so they’re not difficult to defeat. Just ignore their size and beautiful faces and you’ll be fine.
Finding a Gigas Sozu
So I only managed to find two – (approximately) X:28, Y:13 and X:30, Y:15. In one sense that’s good because Thaumaturges and Rogues only need two of these. But it’s bad if you’re waiting for respawn. If you find others, can you let me know so I can add more to the map? Thanks!
Involved in FATEs
It may be that a FATE is the easiest way for you to clear this Hunting Log 5 entry!

Mor Dhona: Revenant’s Toll
Reward:
20,000Hippogryph
Number Required: 4
Unlike some hunting log entries where it’s difficult to find enough targets, you’ll not have that issue with the Hippogryph. Just head to the North-West “bend” of the Singing Shards and you’ll find plenty. While there is one near the yellow, levin-infused lower level, all the rest of the Hippogryphs are on the upper level.

Mor Dhona: Revenants Toll
Reward:
20,500Hapalit
Number Required: 4
Hapalits are of a similar breed to the Redhorn Ogres. Only these have huge, fiery horns, and fingers and toes. Or…are they hoofs?
Where to Find Them
Anyway, they’re Voidsent, so hunt them down. They are marked as “” in your Hunting Log, but that’s not massively helpful! You can find them in Northern Silvertear in Mor Dhona. They’re slightly underground in that lightning-charged, orange and crystalline area.
I’ve marked a circle where there are a few gathered, as well as dots for some precise Hapalit locations.

Reward:
21,0002nd Cohort Eques
Number Required: 2
0 The 2nd Cohort Eques is a Lancer, regardless of what the Rogue Hunting Log icon tells you.
Where are They?
You only need 2, and you’ll have no difficulty in finding more than the required number of mobs either.
Head to Castrum Occidens in Eastern La Noscea, where you’ll find at least nine.
Region/Area
Eastern La Noscea: Agelyss Wise
Nearest Aetheryte
Eastern La Noscea: Wineport
2nd Cohort Signifer
Number Required: 2
2nd Cohort Signifiers are ranged casters, so dear Rogue, you’ll have to get up close and personal to defeat them. You’ll find them – or more likely they’ll find you – in Castrum Occidens in Eastern La Noscea. The Empire has posted Signifiers high up, a bit like archer sentries. And there are loads of them too! You only need two, however.
Get your fizz-bangs on for Eorzea. Start at around X26.0, Y:21.0 and head East into the Castrum. Have fun wreaking havoc, rogue.
Region/Area
Eastern La Noscea: Castrum Occidens
Nearest Aetheryte
Eastern La Noscea: Wineport
Reward:
21,5002nd Cohort Secutor
Number Required: 2
While the Garlean Empire has its own trained Ninjas/contract Shinobi in Stormblood, the nearest you get here is the 2nd Cohort Secutor. The elegance of two blades and Ninja techniques versus the brutal ineligance of two clunky lumps of metal. You’d better win that one!
Where Are They?
Well, if you’re clearing the Rogue Hunting Log Rank 5 in one sitting, then you should already be in the right place!
You can find the Secutors at Castrum Occidens in Eastern La Noscea. There you’ll find your targets along with the 2nd Cohort Eques, 2nd Cohort Signifer and 2nd Cohort Vanguard.
Enjoy the slaughter, I guess?!
A Random Thought
I just wondered if getting a Legionary Visor as loot from Garleans was akin to them being “scalped”. If you wrench that dumb mask off them, do you claim their soul? Thoughts of a strange mind!

2nd Cohort Vanguard
Number Required: 2
If any of your Hunting Log targets so far have been hard to spot, you won’t have that issue with the 2nd Cohort Vanguard! Your challenge will be being aware of other foes near you joining the battle. The ginormous magitek structures are more fragile than they look, but be careful of their forward-facing AoE attack.
You’ll find the Vanguards in Castrum Occidens, along with a bunch of other Garleans.

TL;DR With the Rogue Hunting Log Rank 5 done, You’re Done!
Well done my dear Ninja! That’s a shedton of enemies confronted and defeated. Rank 5 always feels like a mirror of the MSQ, the storyline growing in Mor Dhona before taking on the Garleans. In that sense, doing it alongside the MSQ is a good idea, if Rogue is your first class.

Stay safe in and out of game, friends.
