Where to unlock the Pandaemonium: Anabaseios raids in FFXIV: Endwalker
FFXIV: Endwalkerthe last series of raids, Pandaemonium: Anabaseios, was added to the game in patch 6.4, allowing you to get a new set of powerful gear. Us FF14 raid guide explains where to unlock the new Anabaseios raids and how to exchange the rewards for gear.
Unlocking the Pandaemonium: Anabaseios Raid
To unlock the Pandaemonium: Anabaseios raids, you need to launch the third part of the quest line, starting with “Eater of souls” in Labyrinth. To do this, you must have completed the last level of raids, Pandaemonium: Abyssos. Once you’ve done that, you can talk to him Ruissenaud at the location highlighted below to unlock level three of Pandaemonium:

You must have one item level of at least 615 to actually carry out the raids.
Get drops from Pandaemonium: Anabaseios and exchange loot
Get equipment FFXIV raids can be a bit confusing as it’s not just as simple as grabbing a top or a hat. Rather, each heist drops a piece of loot that corresponds to different equipment slots. You can only get one drop per raid per week, with a weekly reset on Tuesday at 4 p.m. EDT.
This means that if you’ve run Anabaseios: The Ninth Circle and successfully rolled and obtained a piece of loot, you won’t be able to get any more loot from that particular heist until the weekly limit resets.
Each raid only drops specific loot types and you need a certain amount of each loot type to trade in for the actual gear, which you can see below:

| Unsung armor of Anabaseios | The ninth circle (p9n), the tenth circle (p10n), the eleventh circle (p11n), the twelfth circle (p12n) | 4 |
| Unsung gloves from Anabaseios | The ninth circle (p9n), the tenth circle (p10n), the eleventh circle (p11n), the twelfth circle (p12n) | 2 |
| Unsung Chausses by Anabaseios | The ninth circle (p9n), the tenth circle (p10n), the eleventh circle (p11n), the twelfth circle (p12n) | 4 |

While doing all this will get you the armor and accessories, the process of getting a weapon is a bit different. Once a week, if you beat Anabaseios: The Twelfth Circle, you are guaranteed to get an Unsung Blade of Anabaseios, without having to roll for it. You can exchange seven Unsung Blades for one Hermetic tombstone to Djole or Mylenie. After weeks of hard work, you can exchange a Hermetic Tomestone and 500 Allagan Tomestones of Comedy for a weapon. This time the weapons don’t follow any theme, but are winning designs from the weapon design competition.
Yes, that all means it will take many weeks to fully adapt yourself to item level 640 gear. Based on previous enhancements, the drop restrictions should be removed in patch 6.5. At that point, you can roll for whatever you want.
