Get ready to hunt, because these ones in Final Fantasy 16 will test everything you know.
Hunts are one of the most-requested parts of any Final Fantasy game. Final Fantasy 16 brings them back, which is good news. Like most games, the Hunts are ranked by a letter system, with C being the easiest and S being some of the hardest material in the game.
The Hunts give you a chance to see parts of the world you haven’t seen yet and meet some of the most famous monsters from the Final Fantasy series. They can also give you the materials you need to make your next weapon. Get ready to fight these dangerous foes.
Prince Of Death In Final Fantasy 16
By the time you get this Notorious Hunt, you’ve probably already killed a few Fallen Lich enemies. Prince Of Death is just a bigger version of those Akashic monsters with scythes. This demon is one of the first A-Rank hunts in the game, and it only takes a few good reads to beat it.
Prince of Death isn’t too hard to beat. He can teleport a lot, which can be annoying, especially when trying to hit combos, but once you get the rhythm of his Soul Harvest flurry attacks, this fight will be easy.
Gizamaluk
This fast wind demon is not the hardest fight on the board by any means, but as an A-Rank Hunt, Gizamaluk can give you trouble if you don’t pay attention to how it moves.
Gizamaluk is an easy boss fight that is similar to some Garuda fights. Its biggest threat comes from one of its moves, which can send AoE damage all over the area while it charges at you at full speed. Aside from that, the fight is pretty easy, and since most of the enemies are in the air, you can show off those moves you’ve been practicing while in the air.
Thanatos
All of the A-Rank fights have a lot in common with enemies you’ve already met in the world. Thanatos is the same if you’ve already been to some of the ruins of the Fallen.
Thanatos might look scary, but the only thing you need to worry about is its Spirits Without attack. The monster will fire a huge beam in front of it that can lock you in a chain that will quickly drain your health. Staying close to Thanatos makes it easy to step behind it and hit it with combos.
Knight Of The Splendent Heart
Dragoons have one of the best jobs in Final Fantasy, so it makes sense that they would stand out when they show up in Final Fantasy 16. Knight Of The Splendent Heart is one of the best fighters in the Holy Knights Dragoons of the Holy Empire of Sanbreque.
By the time you get this Notorious Mark, you’ve probably already fought a few Dragoons, especially if you remember the first one that attacked Phoenix Gate, so this fight should be easy. Just be careful of all the jump strikes.
Kuza Beast
In Final Fantasy 16, there aren’t that many Behemoths, but the ones you do find will make you work hard to win. In the world of Final Fantasy, the Behemoth have always been scary creatures, and nothing has changed in this version.
The Kuza Beast is a Behemoth that can be found in a colosseum. It has strange colors. This beast can rush you with a powerful swipe attack and cast a powerful spell called “Comet,” which could be dangerous if you don’t know when to dodge.
Atlas
As soon as you enter the world of S-Rank fights, you’ll really start to sweat. In this fight against Atlas, you’ll face a huge Fallen giant that can hit you no matter where you are in the arena.
Atlas loves to use Golden Section, and unfortunately for you, it can hit you anywhere in the fight area. Make sure you can time your doge correctly, especially right before Atlas starts combining moves to take him down.
Gorgimera
Gorgimera is a risky hunt to go on. This three-headed monster has a lot of AoE weapons that can cause trouble if you aren’t moving well. If you have ever faced a Coeurl before, you will know how to do this.
Both Delta Attack and The Ram’s Voice create a lot of AoE puddles that you can move in and out of to hit one of Gorgimera’s many heads until you kill it. Do it quickly before its dangerous fire and lightning attacks burn you to a crisp.
Pandemonium
If you’ve already met these Orcs, you know how annoying they are. If you are not careful, Pandemonium can move and combo your limp body to death.
They are easy to read, except for the teleport, so it might be easy to hit him until he falls over, as long as your button-mashing skills are as good as the giant beast from the nearby continent of Ash, which King Barnabas of Waloed brought across the sea.
Behemoth King
If you thought the Kuza Beast was hard, just wait until you meet the Behemoth King himself. The Kuza Beast hopes it could be as scary as this beast. Most of the patterns that most Behemoths in Drift Boss game use are also used by the King. It can set up AoE strikes as it lunges at you, making it hard for you to avoid them.
There are a few tricks it can do. The Behemoth King can cast many AoE spells that affect the whole fight area. When its health gets low enough, it will cast several of these spells at once, including the Maelstrom that traps enemies.
Svarog
This Notorious Mark is by far the hardest one in the game. This scary dragon leaves behind valuable prizes, but you’ll have to work for them. Svarog can make big orbs that follow you and explode when they get close to you, like the shoot-em-up parts in Nier: Automata.
Svarog, like every other S-rank hunt, has a lot of AoE moves that can be combined to make you dance on a layer of fire while you get your bearings against the flying and hard-to-reach dragon.
