As you progress through Final Fantasy XIV's story the second trial you will have to clear is Hydaelyn and fighting her is going to take more effort than the normal version of the fight for sure.
But before going in and fight the warrior of light's mommie you will first need to unlock the extreme difficulty and here's how you can do just that.

To unlock this trial you will need to head to Old Sharlayan and talk to the Wandering Minstrel located at X: 12.7 Y: 14.3. This is not really a quest as you will simply need to talk the npc.
Once that's done you will be able to enter the trial if you meet the following requirements:

- Reach 560 minimum item level
The trial is a eight players duty that can drop a few items.
