Complete Guide To Cenote Ja Ja Gural

Opening Treasure Maps and searching for hidden goods in Final Fantasy 14 is much more fun with other people. If your party is lucky enough, you might just come across a magical portal that teleports the whole crew to a far-away dungeon full of monsters, traps, and wealth.

Do you dream of becoming Eorzea’s Next Top Chef? Final Fantasy 14’s got the ingredients. We’ve got the recipe.

If you go for Level 100 Maps, you might land in the amazing Cenote Ja Ja Gural. The first of Dawntrail’s Treasure Dungeons has brought some unique rewards for players brave enough to explore them, and if you’re one of these, get ready to see some doors shut right in your face.

How To Enter Cenote Ja Ja Gural

Cenote Ja Ja Gural is a special dungeon that differs from regular duties, and has its own entry methods. Instead of joining through Duty Finder, players can only enter through a special portal that appears when opening Treasure Maps. Defeat the monsters that guard the chest and the portal may appear.

This is a Level 100 Treasure Dungeon, and will only appear with the Timeworn Br’aaxskin Treasure Maps, intended for Level 100 players. These maps are meant for a party, and you normally won’t be able to defeat the treasure chest monsters alone. Loboskin Treasure Maps (one-person maps) cannot spawn a portal.

If your friends or Free Company members don’t want to search for treasure, you can join or set up a Party Finder group to look for others who want to get a bit richer. The party decides if the rewards are Free For All (FFA) or if the map owner takes it all.

Once the portal appears, the party must roll for any remaining loot before the map’s owner can touch the portal, sending all players to the hidden dungeon.

How To Complete Cenote Ja Ja Gural

Cenote Ja Ja Gural is a door-type Treasure Dungeon. Players enter a chamber, defeat the monsters, and the map’s owner can open a treasure chest. After that, they get to choose one of two doors.

One door is trapped and immediately kicks you from the dungeon, while the other advances you to the next chamber. This process repeats in each new chamber you reach, with better prizes the further you get.

There are five chambers in total, so you’ll need to go through four doors to reach the end. The final chamber has no doors, with only a boss waiting for you and guarding the final treasure chest.

You cannot tell which door is the right one. Just follow your gut as this is completely random. However, there’s a small chance that the dungeon sometimes reveals the right path for you by making a glowing path to the right door.

A cutscene triggers as soon as the map’s owner touches a door, showing whether the party is getting kicked or not.

Even if the door instantly closes, there’s still a chance for you to proceed. There are some fake-out scenes where the dungeon allows you to continue right after shutting the door in your face. Don’t lose hope until the end.

Special Monster Encounters

While defeating the monsters guarding the chest inside the dungeon, there’s a chance for more enemies to show up, giving more rewards to everyone. These are:

• Rainbow/Golden monsters: Alpacas, Yetis, or other special mobs roaming around the room. Defeat them for extra Gil and drops.
• Numbered Mandragoras: Five Mandragoras show up running across the room, each marked with numbers from one to five. Kill them in ascending order (1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5) to get bonus Gil.

Gambler’s Lure

Sometimes, when opening a chest, there’s a chance that a gambling mini-game starts. The map owner picks a card with a number, and they have to guess if the number on the next card is higher or lower than the number they picked. Getting it right increases your total reward, but guess it wrong and you lose all treasure from this room.

Numbers go from one to nine, so keep this in mind if you’re risking it for more prizes. One and nine are the safest numbers, but five is the riskiest as it’s a 50/50 chance. Gambler’s Lure can happen in every single room, including the final one. Both Gil and drops are multiplied with each correct card picked.

Gambler’s Lure can multiply even the best rewards from the dungeon, but be careful not to lose it all in a single greedy moment.

Cenote Ja Ja Gural Rewards

All players in the dungeon will get loads of Gil with each opened treasure chest. This amount is the same for all players and not divided between the party, so the more people, the better. The final floor gives at least 100,000 Gil per player.

However, the main rewards for a Treasure Dungeon are its various rare drops, which go for thousands or millions on the game’s Market Boards. The exclusive, main rewards will be rolled between all players and include:

• Figmental Weapon Coffer
• Mamonite (Crafting Material)
• Corduroy Felt (Crafting Material)
• Twilight Gemstone (Mount exchange item)
• Ja Ja Gural Tree (Furniture)
• Pile of Gold (Furniture)
• Honeysuckle (Minion)
• The Lawnblazer (Minion)
• Ribboned Parasol (Fashion Accessory)
• Modern Aesthetics – Doing the Wave (Hairstyle)
• The Faces We Wear – Slim Frame Glasses (Facewear)
• The Faces We Wear – Cat Eye Glasses (Facewear)
• Pathmaker Orchestrion Roll
• Cast Stones in Shadow Orchestrion Roll

The Figmental Weapon Coffer is the most valuable item by far, and you’ll be filthy rich from the moment you get one if you plan on selling it. All items are tradable, so any of them can give you some extra money if you need it.

Various crafting/gathering materials from Dawntrail are also obtained in this dungeon. The exact items you get are random and are also randomly distributed between players. Mamonite and Corduroy Felt are the only materials that can be rolled, as they’re exclusively obtained here.

And finally, just like in other Treasure Map Dungeons, players can get various titles and achievements from Cenote Ja Ja Gural. These are obtained by repeatedly completing the dungeon or just entering it enough times.
