How to complete the quest “The Greatest Story Never Told”in FFXIV
Before we start the Greatest Story Never Told quest in FFXIV, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Mysterious code 1
The first Cryptic Code you receive will contain a series of letters separated by /. Below these letters will be a string of Elements, again separated by a /. Remember this, as it will come in handy. Now you need to find Yayaroka, he is in the Thaumaturges Guild in Uld. After talking with Yayaroku, he will arrange the list of Elements in the correct order. This is done by viewing a passage of the poem that he will be reading. In the poem, the elements are arranged in a certain order.
Now, in the corrected order, arrange the string of letters from the Mysterious Code. After arranging the sequence of letters, connect them together to form the name of your next location. The location can be from any of the three locations mentioned below.
- Oshon’s Embrace is located in Lower La Nosquea.
- Spire of Florentel – located in the Northern Shroud.

Go to the location you got and find a rookie explorer. After interacting with him, he will give you Vinbod’s Travel Journal. Now return to Valiant Hart to get the next Cryptic Code.
Mysterious Code 2. The Greatest Untold Story Complete Quest Guide in FFXIV
The next cryptic code to complete The Greatest Story Never Told quest in FFXIV, Valiant Hart will give you a bunch of jumbled words and the name of a person you’ll have to go and meet. The person you are meeting with either:
- Isuda – Located on the Candlekeep waterfront in Lower La Nosquea.
- Jahel – Found in Fallgourd Float in North Shroud.
- Memenugou is located in Feska Bay in Central Tanalan.
If you have Izuda, solve the Enigmatic Code with the help of what she says. When interacting with her, she will say, “The opposite of absurd is meaning.”This means that you will have to change the order of the characters in your code. You will receive one of the following locations:
- White Wolf Gate
- Hall of Flames
- Esteime Aesthetics
If you have Jahel, solve the Enigmatic Code with the help of what she says. When interacting with her, she will say: “I learned the letters of mathematics, but, alas, not grammar.”This means that you will have to replace the numbers in your code with the corresponding characters such as A=01, B=02, C=03 and so on. You will receive one of the following locations:
- Zephyr Drift
- Hellsbrod Holes
- Red praying mantis falls
If you got Memenuga, then solve the Mysterious Code with the help of what he says. When interacting with him, he will say: “Two steps forward, one step back. Again and again, until the very end. This means that you will have to replace the first 2 letters with the letters that come after them, and the third letter with the letter that comes before it in your code. For example: ZAD becomes ABC since A comes after Z, B comes after A, and C comes before D. Repeat this process until you solve the code. You will receive one of the following locations:
- Hollow Sky Pillar Bridge
- Curlclough House
- Hot Springs of Bronze Lake
Go to the place you got and search?? ? marker in the area. You will receive a hint and you must return to Valiant Hart after receiving the hint. You will now be able to complete the Third Mysterious Code.

The next Mysterious Code to complete The Greatest Story Never Told quest in FFXIV, Valiant Hart will give you another code and a clue that you will find in the Marauders Guild. This code will be different for each player. Head to the Marauder’s Guild in Limsa Lominsa. After reaching the guild, find the bookshelf. There will be?? ? Glowing rainbow effect marker. This will give you advice about emotions or emotions to be exact.
Your code will look something like this: All forR fen-YLL. If you take the capital letters and arrange them, you get the name of the emotion. In the code above, the letters ARYLL and when placed correctly will become RALLY. This means you will have to use the RALLY emote somewhere, but where? If you see the last word of the code, fen-YLL, you’ll notice that Fen-YLL is the name of the Leatherworkers’ Guild in Gridania. Similarly, your code will contain the name of the place where you will have to use the emotion. Here is a list of codes with their emotes and locations:

Mysterious code 4
The next Mystery Code to complete The Greatest Story Never Told quest in FFXIV, Valiant Hart will give you the equation SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER and will have the statement “then come back to me with _ of _. The owner of the markets has my list.” The spaces will contain letters that will be different for each player. The Market Master in the message is the Market Master of your Home City. The owner of the market can be Ceserrog in Ul’Dah, Parsemontret in Old Gridania, and Svozblaet in Limsa Lominsa. Go to your Market Master and collect the list. The list will contain elements that equate to Numbers.
Now we need to solve the equation SWORD + SWORD = DAGGER. The equation looks like two 5-digit numbers add up to a 6-digit number. this means that we must find out the meanings of SWORD AND DAGGER in numbers. This is the most difficult part of the quest, so I will give you the answer. You can try to solve the puzzle and see if your answer is correct. The SWORD is 78321 and the DAGGER is 156642. Now from the Mysterious Code, match the letters and numbers with the list you got from the Market Master and see what it says.
For example, if you have an S of A, then the numbers would be 7 of 5, which for my list is Sunstone Ring. This is the Sunstone Ring. You can get the Item from the Jewelry Store in Ul’Dah. Find the item you have and get it from the jewelry store. There are 16 possible elements, of which only 9 are valid. Get and equip the item, return to Valiant Hart and inspect the statue.
Mysterious code 5
This is the final code you will need to solve in order to complete The Greatest Story Never Told quest in FFXIV. Here you have to decrypt encrypted messages from Winebaud. Valiant will not be able to solve it, but it will be able to put it in order. If you read messages from Winebaud, it says that the answer is at the beginning and at the end of the lines of the poem. This means that we will have to take the initial and final letters of Valiant Hart’s poems. It should read “Copper Gorget”.
The second message from Weinbod says that he gave the key to the Treasure Seeker. This means that the Copper Necklace is the Key to the riddle. You can get a copper collar by purchasing it from any of the Battlecraft stores in the 3 main cities. The third message says that the castle is in front of you, but behind my obfuscations. This means that the castle is behind the Statue.
Take the copper collar and follow the statue. You will find?? ? Marker with rainbow glowing particles. Interact with him and you’ll get Vinbod’s Treasure. Treasure – 10 gil, achievement, and more poetry by Weinbod.
That was all about how to complete The Greatest Story Never Told quest in FFXIV.
