Since Shadowbringers, Final Fantasy XIV has added Nier Automata-themed gear and minions. But now, with the release of Endwalker patch 6.1, there’s a new mount for you to enjoy, and it’s straight out of the Nier franchise.
The Pod 602 mount is a floating Pod that allows you to float around just like in the FFXIV Nier raid series, or the separate Nier: Automata game. But how do you unlock the Pod 602 mount?
How to get the Pod 602 mount
The Pod 602 mount is available from The Gold Saucer. You’ll need 300,000 MGP. To claim your prize head to the Gold Saucer Attendant <Prize Claim> NPC. They’re located at X: 5.2, Y: 6.6 in the Gold Saucer.
Speak to them and select Prize Exchange III. The item you’re looking for is the Pod 602 Identification Key. Purchase it with 300,000 MGP and then activate it in your inventory.
If the Minion isn’t visible, you’ll also need to have completed the Nier questline, also known as the YoRHa: Dark Apocalypse Quests. To complete these quests, talk to the Gossipy Dwarf in Komra. Complete the A Scandal in Komra level 80 quest and subsequent questline.
Once unlocked, you can enjoy floating around Eorzea with your new robotic mount. Have fun!
