Throne and Libertyhas many surprises up its sleeve, making its world seem extraordinarily large and even more magical than it leads on. Ranging from unique and demanding boss encounters to large Dynamic Events to mounting the Gigantrite, the massive whale that flies across its world. There’s always something that will exceed your expectations.
While it is technically part of a side quest, mounting the Gigantrite is one of the best things you can do in the game. Its scale is unbelievable, and there will likely be hundreds of other players on board with you. Encapsulating the scope and magic of this game is one fantastic moment.

Please note that the times above are directly from the game, hence the 24-hour format. If you are unsure of what time it is for you, you’re able to check that by looking at the top right of the Event Schedule tab in the Map. - Additionally, the Gigantrite is a bit glitchy at the moment, so it may not always spawn in every three hours. So be patient if it doesn’t show up, and just hope for the best next time!
How To Mount The Gigantrite
Now that youhave its schedule mapped out,it’s time to patientlywait at the highest point of the Starlight Observatory Towerandwait for the Gigantrite to approach.You willsee it off in the distance and will gradually see it make its way overto you. It’s rather exciting, and the in-game chat will likely express this sentiment as it nears closer.
As it approaches the Starlight Observatory Tower,leap off it, instantly activate your Glide Morph, and soar onto its massive body.You canland on its flippers or its back;either is fine. Justmake sure you’re above it before descendingonto it. Successfully landing on it will display the ‘Mounted the Divine Beast’ message on your screen.
Depending on how many people are attempting to get on the Gigantrite, you may notice some heavy server lag, such as rubberbanding, particularly when you’re airborne. This can lead to less-than-ideal conditions for trying to land on it, so make absolute certain you are above the Divine Beast before landing, or you may just get flung off due to unfortunate lag.
What’s On The Gigantrite?
So you waited all this time, took the leap of faith, and are now atop the enormous Gigantrite. Now what? You can do a few things here, withMining Orebeing one of them.Many Marind Ore veins will be on the Gigantrite’s back,with many morespawning periodically throughoutits visit, so be sure to keep moving around to see if any spawn in.

Saurodoma Island Waypoint
Another benefit of riding on the Gigantrite is you canunlock the Saurodoma Island Waypoint.This is theonly way you may obtain this Waypoint,but it requires you tostay on the Divine Beast until the very end.While you can’t stay on it the entire time, as it will either dive into the water or pass over the island, you will reach a point where you aren’t too far away from the island.
Wait until you receivethe ‘Gigantrite’s Blessing effect on Solisium ends’ message, thenwait several seconds afterward.The Divine Beast should move forward quite a bit more,placing you in a prime position to reach the island.Once you’re in a good spot,leap off the horn of the Gigantrite and use your Glide Morphto fly toward Saurodoma Island.
Due to the height and the distance, youshould not have to Speed Up or Ascendhere. Justcalmly coast across the clouds until you are over the island.Once you’re above Saurodoma Island,use the Descend action to touch down on the tall, flat tree.Once here,activate its Waypoint,watch the cutscene, and enjoy the stunning views.

And, surprise,it’s aboard the Gigantrite,allowing you to find it on its back after landing on it.
Youmust complete the first two steps of this side questbefore boarding the Gigantrite to obtain the Amitoi. If youmount the Divine Beast before then, you will be able to see it but cannot interact with it,and you will have to reboard it after you’ve progressed this quest up to this point!

If you’re having trouble locating it,head back toward the tail,thenturn around and face the frontof the Divine Beast so that your back is now toward the tail. From here,move up the right-hand sideof the Gigantrite.As soon as you move past the first flipperon the right, theYeddi Amitoi will be directly to your righton an elevated rock.
