Forlorn Maiden
Forlorn Maiden
Forlorn Maiden is an Elemental in various locations.
Locations
Forlorn Maidens have a small chance to spawn at any FATE in zones from Stormblood or later, at the same level as the FATE it spawned in.
- For a list of areas and levels where Forlorn Maiden can spawn, see the FATE Hot Spots list.
Additional Information
A special enemy called the Forlorn Maiden may appear over the course of any given FATE. Players will see the chat message "The smell of death has drawn a Forlorn maiden to the battlefield!" when one spawns, and "The Forlorn maiden dissipates..." when it is defeated. Forlorn Maidens have a chance to spawn once a FATE has reached about 50% completion.
In very rare instances a significantly larger, tougher variant called The Forlorn may appear instead.
By defeating the Forlorn Maiden or The Forlorn, all players who participated in the FATE and received a rating will be granted the 
Twist of Fate status.
- Players will be granted the status even if the FATE ends in failure so long as the Forlorn Maiden was defeated.
Players under the effect of the Twist of Fate status will receive 15% increased EXP rewards and 25% increased Bicolor Gemstones upon completing the FATE in which the Forlorn Maiden was defeated. The status then persists and grants a further 50% increased EXP and Bicolor Gemstones for a subsequent FATE players participate or receive a rating in.
- The effect of this status will apply even if the FATEs participated in end in failure.
- The status' effect does not apply to EXP gained from defeating enemies.
- The status' effect stacks with other bonuses that apply to FATE completion EXP, including a subsequent Twist of Fate buff.
- The
Twist of Fate status from The Forlorn grants a significantly greater EXP bonus (+250%) and Bicolor Gemstone bonus (+300%) than that from a Forlorn Maiden.
The effect has no expiry time limit. However, players will lose the buff if they leave the zone in any way.
