Survival of the Fittest is one of the Key Quests that carries the Endless Ragnarok storyline forward in Granblue Fantasy: Relink. As the rest of the Key Quests added with the expansion, it sits behind the top Skyfarer Grade, so it will not appear on your board until you have pushed through the epilogue setup and earned the right to take on the hardest content in the game.
Quick answer: Reach the Fatebreaker Skyfarer Grade, then accept Survival of the Fittest from the Quest Counter in Folca. Fatebreaker unlocks the Chaos, Chaos+, and Chaos++ Key Quests that make up the Endless Ragnarok progression.
What you need before the quest appears
Key Quests are the Fatebreaker-grade missions tied to Endless Ragnarok, and they only open up in order. Before Survival of the Fittest can show up at the counter, your account has to clear the entry gate for the expansion and then climb to the correct grade.
| Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Finish the Proud Quest The Tale of Bahamut’s Rage | This is the final Proud Quest and unlocks the Epilogue: Endless Ragnarok. |
| Reach Conflux Cycle 3 | Clearing up to this point triggers the meeting with Seofon and Tweyen at the Quest Counter. |
| Complete the Chaos Rank-Up Quest | Defeating the Eternals promotes you to Fatebreaker and introduces the Key Quest system. |
How the Skyfarer Grades unlock Key Quests
Every quest in the game is tied to a difficulty, and those difficulties are gated behind your Skyfarer Grade. The Chaos family of quests, which is where the Endless Ragnarok Key Quests live, requires the highest grade.
| Skyfarer Grade | Available difficulties |
|---|---|
| Novice Skyfarer | Easy, Normal |
| Veteran Skyfarer | Hard, Very Hard, Extreme |
| Zegagrande Legend | Maniac, Proud |
| Fatebreaker | Chaos, Chaos+, Chaos++ |
Because Survival of the Fittest is part of the Fatebreaker-grade lineup, you cannot reach it by grinding lower quests alone. You have to earn the promotion first through the Chaos Rank-Up Quest against the Eternals.
Steps to reach and accept the quest
How to confirm it worked
You will know the promotion landed when your grade reads Fatebreaker and a cutscene introduces the Endless Ragnarok endgame. After that, Chaos Key Quests, including Survival of the Fittest, become selectable at the Quest Counter alongside the rest of the story-advancing missions.
If the quest is still not showing, the usual reason is grade. Chaos-tier entries stay hidden until you have actually defeated the Eternals in the Chaos Rank-Up Quest, so returning to the counter before that promotion will not surface it. Clearing the earlier Key Quests in the chain also keeps the later ones flowing, since the expansion unlocks them in sequence.
Once Survival of the Fittest is on your board, it behaves like the other repeatable Key Quests. You can re-run it for drops after the first clear, and each completed Key Quest keeps pushing the Endless Ragnarok storyline toward its later Chaos+ and Chaos++ tiers.
