There are many raids that you can take part in within FFXIV, whether it be alliance raids or normal raids. Some of these raids were part of a special cross-over event with another game. This guide is going to explain how you can unlock all of the FFXIV Nier Alliance Raids.
These raids were added in patch 5.1 for FFXIV: Shadowbringers, so this content is relatively old. However, for players that are new or are too low-level, you may not have them just yet.
Here is how you can unlock all of the FFXIV Nier Alliance Raids.

Unlocking the Copied Factory
The first Alliance Raid that you will be able to unlock is named The Copied Factory. To be able to access this, you will have to be able to do quests from Shadowbringers.
First and foremost, you will have to do the Shadowbringers quest which is level 80.
Once you have done that, you will then have to do a quest named Word About Komra, which is a quest given to you by a Gossipy Dwarf in Kholusia. You can find them at (X:12.9, Y:8.7)
Finally, you have to do a quest named A Scandal in Komra which is given by the same Gossipy Dwarf in Kholusia. You will get this quest after you have completed Word about Komra. This is how you access the first Alliance Raid.

Accessing the Puppets’ Bunker
To unlock the Puppets’ Bunker, you will have first needed to complete The Copied Factory before trying to unlock the second Alliance Raid. Once you’ve done that, there will be a couple of prerequisite quests that you have to do, too.
Before you can do the main quest to unlock the raid, you will have to do two smaller quests. The first is called Carnivals and Confrontations which is given by the Dig Site Chief in Kholusia, which you can find them at (X:34.7, Y: 18.2).
The second quest is One Way To Do It and you get this quest from Anogg in the Excavation Tunnels at (X: 5.8, Y:4.7).
The final quest is named We Can Rebuild Her, which you can get by speaking to the Dig Site Chief in Kholusia at (X:34.7, Y: 18.2).
Once you have done these three quests, you will then have access to the second Nier Alliance Raid in FFXIV.
