Step into the mysterious Occult Crescent, Final Fantasy XIV’s newest instanced battlefield introduced in patch 7.25, where glowing survey points scattered across the map hold the key to unlocking ancient secrets and the epic 48-player dungeon, The Forked Towers. Whether you’re chasing relic weapons, rare loot, or unraveling the Crescent’s deep lore, knowing every survey point location is essential to mastering this ambitious new content.
You will need to find the quest-related survey points if you want to participate in the 48-person dungeon “The Forked Towers,” as it won’t unlock until you finish the quest “Past and Crescent.”
Below, you can see a map of the survey points that you can find glowing around the map in FFXIV’s Occult Crescent.
FFXIV Occult Crescent survey point map
The FFXIV Occult Crescent survey point map highlights the locations of glowing survey points scattered throughout the Occult Crescent zone, primarily in the South Horn area. These points are crucial for completing key quests such as “A Ruined Land,” “Common Thread,” and “Past and Crescent,” which are necessary to unlock the 48-player dungeon, The Forked Tower. While most survey points are visible on the map during the quests, some, like the one in Phantom Village, require careful exploration to find. Players interact with these glowing spots to progress through the questline and gather occult records, making the survey point map an essential tool for navigating and completing content in the Occult Crescent.
Note that there is an additional survey point that you get in the Phantom Village on the west side up the stairs, so it’s not on our map of the South Horn.
Where are the most hidden survey points in Occult Crescent
The most hidden survey points in the Occult Crescent are found in the Phantom Village, specifically one located up the stairs on the west side. This particular survey point is not marked on most maps of the South Horn area, making it easy to miss unless you explore carefully. The rest of the survey points are primarily clustered in the South Horn region, but the Phantom Village point stands out as the most concealed and requires deliberate scouting to discover.
What makes the Phantom Village survey point in Occult Crescent so hard to find
The Phantom Village survey point in Occult Crescent is particularly hard to find because it is located up a set of stairs on the western side of the village, a location not marked on most maps of the South Horn area. This subtle placement, combined with the fact that the survey points are only faintly glowing and not clearly indicated unless you are on the specific quest, makes it easy to overlook. Players must explore carefully and pay close attention to environmental cues to discover it, as it is the only survey point outside the main cluster in South Horn and requires deliberate scouting to locate.
