The Chrysalis is a Trial in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, introduced in patch 2.5, Before the Fall. It sees players battle against the Ascian Nabriales to rescue Minfilia. Unlike any other MSQ trial, this one does not possess an extreme mode.

Story[]

A ruthless Ascian known as Nabriales has intruded upon the sanctum of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, spiriting away both the Antecedent and the powerful relic she refused to yield. Pursue the Paragon through the dimensional rift and prise Minfilia—and Tupsimati—from his tenebrous grasp.
