Final Fantasy 14introduced many stories that captured the hearts of players all over the world. The characters that compose the MMO’s cast are largely responsible for that, and one who was introduced early on but continues to have animpact on players to this day is Haurchefant.
Having an important role in supporting the Warrior of Light and the remnants of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn when others wouldn’t, Haurchefant easily won over a large portion of the player base. And while players can get a title and a minion related to him simply by progressing the story, there is one other reward connected to the character that can be unlocked in game. Haurchefant has an emote dedicated to him, and here you can learn what you need to do to get it!
How To Unlock The Haurchefant Emote
The first thing players need to make sure of before trying to get the emote is that they have reached level 60 and completed the Main Scenario Quests up to"Litany Of Peace". Once that is done, it will be necessary to start a questline called"Tales Of The Dragonsong War"- which will later show up as achapter on the New Game+ menu. The quests that compose this chain willsend the player to several different locations, and will often include lengthy cutscenes, but they are definitely worth it for those who loveFinal Fantasy 14’s story.
None of those quests is marked by the blue content unlock quest symbol, so players might have overlooked them. When looking for the NPCs that initiate each quest, always look for the plain sidequest symbol.
The Paths We Walk
The first quest the player must pick up to begin the Tales Of The Dragonsong War questline is called"The Paths We Walk". It can be initiated by talking to theHouse Fortemps Manservantinside Fortemps Manor.

This quest ends inTailfeather, where the adventurer must interact with Marcechamp (X: 31.9, Y: 22.9).
The Legacies We Leave
Like before, the quest will start right where the previous one ended, so the player only needs to talk to Marcechamp again to start"The Legacies We Leave". He willdirect the adventurer toLoth ast Vath, still in the Dravanian Forelands, where they must speak to the Vath Storyteller (X: 24.0, Y: 19.7). Continuing the path previously explored with Ysayle, the player will go toAnyx Trineand talk to Vidofnir (X: 16.8, Y: 23.6).
The moogles are next, so head to The Churning Mists and talk to Moglin (X: 30.1, Y: 36.5) inMoghome, before interacting with the glowing marker (X: 17.3, Y: 33.7) southeast ofZenith, also in The Churning Mists.

The next quest,“The Triumphs We Share”,starts by talking to the same Sultansworn who ended the previous quest. He will direct the adventurer toRevenant’s Toll, where they’ll speak to Alianne (X: 22.1, Y: 8.4). TheSkysteel Manufactoryin Ishgard is the next stop, so travel to Foundation, then use the aethernet to get to the right location and interact with the glowing marker (X: 8.0, Y: 10.1).

Finally, interact with Slowfix (X: 7.5, Y: 6.5) inIdyllshireto finish the quest.
The Burdens We Bear
“The Burdens We Bear"is the last quest that must be completed to finish the Tales Of The Dragonsong War chain. After talking to Slowfix, the player must enterMatoya’s Cave(X:12.7, Y: 37.3), in the Dravanian Hinterlands, and speak to Master Matoya. VisitHelixin Azys Lla after that, and interact with the glowing marker (X: 5.2, Y: 9.3) on the airship landing, then interact with the Blue Bouquet (X: 4.2, Y: 8.9).
Interact with the glowing marker (X: 8.6, Y: 31.2) in theDelta Quadrant, still in Azys Lla, andtalk to Tiamat and Midgardsormr, then go to the entrance to theAetherochemical Research Facilitydungeon to finish the tour through this area by interacting with the marker (X: 21.2, Y: 22.4) nearby.
At the beginning of the quest, the game will have warned the player that there are no markings on the map for this last objective. Instead, it’s necessary to decipher the text to find out where to go. The text says it all started at the behest of a friend, and there was only one place where it could end, which is enough indication it’s time to visit the friend wholed the Warrior of Lightto Ishgard.
Those who want to find out the exact location on their own should travel toCamp Dragonheadand speak to Corentiaux (X: 26.7, Y: 17.5), as he will offer a clue. Alternatively, players can simply head north from Camp Dragonhead and go directly to Coerthas Central Highlands (X: 22.4, Y: 7.9).
Visiting Haurchefant’s grave will bring tears to the eyes of many players, but as we all learnedafter completing The Vault, a smile better suits a hero - and this is necessary to complete the quest. The rewards for it will be the achievement On the Road Again, Tales Of The Dragonsong War being unlocked in New Game+, and, of course, the Haurchefant emote.
