The Great Serpent of Ronka

First up in our spotlight is The Great Serpent of Ronka. This FF14 minion has earned its spot as one of the best FFXIV minions. Its outward appearance might fool you, as it doesn’t quite match the grandeur of its name, but inside this wriggly FFXIV minion lies a powerful being, the Legendary Great Serpent of Ronka from FFXIV Shadowbringers.

Players learn more about this FF14 minion in FFXIV Endwalker. It has two variations, The Behetted Serpent of Ronka and The Behelmeted Serpent of Ronka, each with a different style, but they can’t compare to the original. 

Completing the level 70 quest “Protectors of the Wood” in The Rak’Tika Greatwood will grant you this FFXIV minion, which will hop around Eorzea following you.

Shoebill

A gamer on Reddit dubbed ‘Schatzey’ commented, “I don’t think I’ve summoned a single other minion since acquiring my shoebill.” So, what makes this FF14 minion one of FFXIV’s best? It’s the Shoebill’s grumpy yet admirable personality.

You can feel its silent judgment a mile away, adding to its mysterious vibe. This FFXIV minion can be obtained by completing the Dungeon of Amaurot.

Fat Cat

There’s something about the way this FF14 minion rolls on its back with all four feet pointed skyward that often melts a gamer’s heart. Contrary to the other FFXIV minions on this list, the Fat Cat will not follow you after you feed it unless you move further away.

Oh, there’s also a cute mount dubbed ‘Fatter Cat’ in honour of Fat Cat. This FFXIV minion can be yours by sending a retainer levelled as a Fisher on Waterside Exploration XIV ventures.

Wee Ea

The Wee Ea minion has a nostalgic effect on FFXIV gamers who played the first expansion, A Realm Reborn. Gamers had a memorable experience interacting with the lost civilization Wee Ea, and this FF14 minion brings all those exciting memories back.

Not only can it pop its head out of its body, but it can also defy physics as it follows you. Additionally, it is useful in spawning Endwalker S-Rank Hunt Mark and Narrow-Rift. To get it, trade 500 Bicolor gemstones to a trader in Ultima Thule.

The Major-General

Imagine having a shark for a minion! Well, that’s what this cute FFXIV minion with sharp teeth  

is—only it has legs. That’s right, you can have a little shark with legs follow you on all your adventures in Eorzea. 

The Major-General can be yours after you complete the Achievement ‘No More Fish in the Sea.’
