Finally saw the giant Spriggan! (Hatching-tide Event)

[Chiral]

I honestly thought people were just making it up until I noticed it on the map in Western La Noscea near the Magic Pot. It's a level 41 boss FATE with an adorably oversized Scrambling Spriggan! It actually killed us initially but thankfully some helpful FC-mates came to assist. Everybody got a Gold Egg from it.

No idea what the repop timer is like but it was fun!

[Kuwagami]

on reddit, they estimated the repop to be between 2 hours and 5.5 hours

So cruel. ;-;

Does this spawn in different locations or always the same?

I only got into the fates with the small ones, I'd love for this one to spawn *-*

That was the pop for the normal small sized ones. There is no telling how long the big ones are. I am a rather avid egg hunter and I only ran across one of these new fates so far since they were released. This includes a few camping sessions of all three spawns with some friends.

Here is the reddit post with most of the gathered spawn information:

exactly why I gave up on the event after getting my egg harness

These events are way too rare, this holiday feels rather unfair since not enough players can participate.

So cruel. ;-;

I know, I feel bad ._. At least he died with a smile on his face!?

Does this spawn in different locations or always the same?

We know(?) from XIVDB that there's 2 more locations (Coerthas and Eastern Thanalan) but I don't know if they share a spawn timer or can all be up.
