“The expedition's quest to reach the headquarters of the Students of Baldesion at the center of the isle continues, and to that end they have relocated to a new base camp to utilize an ancient proto-aetheryte. Yet as they venture further north into a network of caves hidden within the massive mountains, frozen tundra gives way to smoldering lava: Pyros, a new region replete with new wonders and new threats...

Eureka Pyros FATEs
Similar to Eureka Pagos, Pyros contains two elemental conflict (i.e., Happy Bunny) FATEs in addition to notorious monster (NM) battles.
Among notorious monster battles, Thirty Whacks, Haunter of the Dark, and Heavens' Warg are of particular interest, because they have a very low chance of dropping three items: Lamebrix's Dice, Ying-Yang's Tissue, and Skoll's Claw, respectively, that together can be exchanged at the Expedition Engineer to unlock a sixth magicite in the Magia Board. These items can be sold for a premium on the Market Board. Because of their high value, some players may not wait for others to arrive before pulling them once they spawn. To maximize's one's chances of earning rewards, be near the FATE spawn area a few minutes before its cooldown resets. Heavens' Warg (Skoll) also has a weather requirement. It is recommended to use a tracker if available for the instance. Some Eureka-oriented Discord servers have weather window notifications for Heavens' Warg (the cooldown is instance-specific).
The enemies required to spawn Skoll (Pyros Shuck) are a ways away from the actual FATE area. As a preventative measure in case the NM is early pulled before players who assisted with the prep arrive, some players will opt to prep the NM well in advance of the weather transitioning to Blizzards.
Happy Bunnies
Pyros is also home to many a happy bunny. As a reward for saving them from imminent peril, happy bunnies will help you find hidden treasure on the island.
In Eureka Pyros, the southern FATE We're All Mad Here has treasure locations in the southern, lower-leveled region of the zone. The northern FATE Uncommon Nonsense has treasure locations in the northern, higher-leveled region of the zone. Most players will ignore the northern FATE due to the treasure locations being surrounded by high level enemies that will aggro to even elemental level capped players, making the treasure hunt a nuisance.
Treasure Coffer | Gil | Materia | Notable Drops |
---|---|---|---|
Bronze | 10,000 gil | ||
Silver | 25,000 gil | ||
Gold | 100,000 gil |
Logos Actions
Logos actions are a new type of duty action available in Eureka Pyros.
Logograms
Logos actions require crystals known as logograms.
After obtaining unidentified logograms in Eureka Pyros, take them to Drake (X:15.7, Y:23.9) to have them appraised and converted into logograms.
Unidentified logograms are kept in your inventory, but appraised logograms are stored only in the logos manipulator.
Logos Manipulator
With the logos manipulator, logograms can be combined to produce various logos actions.
Some logos actions can only be produced through specific combinations of logograms. Share information with your fellow players and discover more combinations.
Using Logos Actions
Logos actions are kept in the logos actions window and can be assigned as duty actions. Logos actions assigned as duty actions will be lost upon exiting Eureka.
Proceed through the Eureka Pyros story to improve the logos manipulator, which will allow two logos actions to be produced simultaneously.
By placing logograms in both the astral and umbral arrays of the logos manipulator, two logos actions can be produced at the same time. These will be kept in the logos actions window and can both be set as duty actions.
However, using four or more logograms will increase the rate of failure, which causes all logograms used to be lost. Therefore, you should weigh the risk against the potential reward before proceeding.
When two duty actions are set, the controls are as follows:
- Duty Action 1
- RT + Right Thumb-click (R2 + R3)
- Duty Action 2
- LT + Right Thumb-click (L2 + R3)
- If only one duty action is set, either of the above inputs will activate it, as per the default controls.
Eureka Weapons
After fully augmenting a Eureka weapon in Pagos and proceeding to a certain point in the Pyros story, you will be able to augment your Eureka weapon further by speaking to Gerolt in Pyros (X:15.3 Y:23.5).
Research into logos actions is required to augment Eureka weapons.
Acquired logos actions will be recorded in the Logos Action Log, which can be viewed at any time by speaking to Drake. Eureka weapons can be enhanced incrementally upon registration of 10, 20, 30, and 50 logos actions.
List of Logograms
Logograms are items that can be appraised to obtain mnemes in The Forbidden Land, Eureka content. When appraised by Drake, who is located next to the Logos Manipulator in Pyros and Hydatos, the logogram will turn into one random mneme from a pool that depends on the logogram. Mnemes can then be combined to give Logos Actions at a Logos Manipulator. Logograms may be obtained as enemy drops, from lockboxes, or as direct rewards from Notorious Monsters, and may also be traded with other players or purchased from the Market Board.
