The Shishioji Mount: What is it and where can you find it?
The Shishioji mount is one of the four final bosses encountered in Mount Rokkon. Alongside Moko, it proves to be a challenging foe, inflicting tremendous pain regardless of the battle mechanics. As the legends of Mount Rokkon reveal, this auspicious entity awakens reluctantly from its stone slumber and is far from being welcoming.

Securing this nightmarish serpent-like mount, which may evoke memories of repeated knockouts, is no small feat. To obtain the Shishioji mount, venture into Another Mount Rokkon, an even more treacherous version of its predecessor. The mount has a chance to drop from the treasure chest of the final boss. Alternatively, if luck evades you, it can be purchased for 100 Shishu coins, equivalent to approximately 25 dungeon runs. Quite an endeavor, but still less demanding than collecting 100 totems for an EX trial mount.
To exchange your hard-earned coins for this coveted mount, visit Trisassant in Old Sharlayan, the hub for all Variant Dungeon rewards. Journey to Scholar’s Harbor Aetheryte and approach the counter at coordinates (12, 13.3). Select the Rokkon Artifact Exchange option, then proceed to the Shishu Coin Exchange section. Look for the Shishioji Flute, exchange your coins for it, and use the item to summon your hellspawned companion in any mounted area.
And there you have it! This guide covers everything you need to know about acquiring the Shishioji mount in FFXIV. Whether the challenge is well worth the effort is for you to decide.
