The Wind-up Wuk Lamat minion is a limited reward from The Rising 2026, the annual celebration currently running in Final Fantasy 14. It drops from a single seasonal quest, so the whole task takes only a few minutes once you know the route.
Quick answer: Complete the seasonal quest “The Symphony of Life,” started from the Wandering Minstrel in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks at (X:11.0, Y:12.8). You must be Level 15 or higher, and you must finish before the event ends on September 10, 2026 at 7:59 a.m. PDT / 14:59 GMT.

Requirements before you start
The minion is tied entirely to the event, so there is a hard deadline. After the closing time passes, the quest can no longer be accepted or completed, and the minion becomes unobtainable until a future Rising event. The reward is unique, untradable, and market prohibited, meaning you cannot buy it from another player on the Market Board.

How to confirm the minion is unlocked
Turning in the quest places the Wind-up Wuk Lamat item in your inventory. It is not active yet. Open your inventory and use the item to register it, then find it in your Minion menu and summon it from there.
Note: If the quest does not appear on the Wandering Minstrel, check that your character is at least Level 15 and that the event has not already ended. Those are the two conditions that block it.

The automaton is styled after Wuk Lamat and, in its journal entry, was commissioned to mark the anniversary of her father’s ascension before the units were shipped to Eorzea. Once it is registered and summoned, the minion is yours to keep permanently, even after The Rising 2026 closes.
