Conflux Cycles and Unlock Requirements
How to unlock all Conflux cycles from Chapter 6 through Endless Ragnarok story progression.
Cycle Progression System
The Conflux divides into cycles of increasing difficulty and reward quality. Early cycles are accessible during base game progression; deeper cycles require Endless Ragnarok story advancement. Each cycle focuses on different material types for character development.
Unlock Requirements by Cycle
- Cycle 1: Chapter 6 side quest in Seedhollow — weapon crafting materials
- Cycle 2: Hard-difficulty quest progress — seal upgrade materials
- Cycle 3: Maniac-difficulty quest progress — weapon limit increases for Mad quests
- Deeper Cycles: Endless Ragnarok story milestones — premium materials and greatest challenge

Catch-Up Strategy for Returning Players
If you stopped at Bahamut clear, unlock Cycle 1 immediately via Chapter 6, then grind Conflux while learning expansion mechanics. Developers explicitly designed this as the fastest catch-up route. Assist mode on higher difficulties further accelerates prerequisite clearing for Cycles 2 and 3.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip to Cycle 3 without Cycle 1-2?
No. Cycles unlock sequentially through quest and story prerequisites.
Do cycles reset on expansion launch?
Save data carries forward. Progress on your platform persists through the Upgrade Kit.
