This is a REAL 100% Walkthrough. Well over 1500+ hours of preparation are necessary for this guide to make sure not a single item was missed and to complete 100% of Final Fantasy XVI as efficiently as possible!

In this guide, I will of course show you how to unlock ALL FF16 Trophies / Achievements, but also:

  • Acquire ALL Items
  • Acquire ALL Weapons
  • Acquire ALL Armor
  • Acquire ALL Accessories
  • Complete all the side quests
  • Upgrade all Feats and Abilities to their maximum
  • Collect all Signboards
  • Collect all curiosities
  • Complete all the Hunts
  • Craft Gotterdammerung (Legendary Sword)
  • Visit all Areas on the World and Local Maps
  • Defeat every Boss and mini boss

But I will also provide many advice to become better at the game:

  • Basic Combat Mechanics and Tips
  • Advanced Combat Guides
  • Detailed Builds
  • Best way to clear the Final Fantasy Mode (which is needed to unlock the hardest trophy in FF16: Fantasy, Finally)

The walkthrough

This is the ultimate guide to complete 100% of Final Fantasy 16

This is more than just a Platinum Trophy guide, we’ll get everything.

 

  • All 50 Trophies including The Chronicler platinum trophy
  • All items, even the not important ones, every Potion will be looted! Every gil will be collected!
  • All Side Quests

 

Basically, we’ll farm everything, every Gil, material or consumable will be found and looted if you follow this guide. You’ll finish your first playthrough with plenty of materials to do anything you want in your New Game+ (Final Fantasy Mode Playthrough).

 

I’ve planned this guide to do everything in the most efficient order, so that we never hit difficulty walls and complete the full game with as little deaths as possible. Every upgrade that can help will be obtained at the right moment, you’ll be warned in advance of every ambush and trap, there will be an optimal strategy for each of the enemies and Bosses which require one.

  • If you’ve never played a Final Fantasy game before, I guarantee you will Platinum this game without any problems if you follow my guide.
  • If you’re a casual gamer or 70+ year old with bad reflexes, I guarantee you will Platinum this game too.
  • If you’re a veteran FF player, I guarantee you won’t regret following this guide, it will save you a lot of time and you’ll probably learn a few tricks and hidden game mechanics.

We’ll start the game with a few basic combat mechanics, get some early upgrades and progressively add more tools to our arsenal and explore some advanced combat tactics as well as new game mechanics which only exist in Final Fantasy 16.

 

Settings

CONTROLLER LAYOUT

Wireless Controller Layout: Type B

Dodging is extremely important in FF16, so having the evade button on Circle is a must have. It is the most accessible button at all times, and it’s what you should be used to if you played other action RPGs such as Dark Souls, God of War, etc.

Also, having the main attack buttons on R1 + R2 instead of Square + Triangle will be a great improvement when we’ll start to do Combos involving Charged Attacks. You’ll have a much better control with R1 and R2, trust me on that.

 

LANGUAGE SETTINGS

Speaker Names: ON

There are many different characters in FF16, you might get confused about who is talking sometimes. Displaying speaker names helps a lot with that.

 

GRAPHICS SETTINGS

Screen Brightness: 10

There are some pretty dark parts in FF16, from my experience, there are still some really dark corners even with Brightness set to 10. So it does help to see things better in many cases, and it doesn’t ever feel too bright, even when you’re outside in broad daylight.

Game Performance: Frame Rate

The game looks just as amazing and more fluid with this setting in my experience. And when there are cinematics, the game still automatically bumps the quality to the maximum.

 

CAMERA SETTINGS

Camera Sensitivity (Horizontal) : 3
Camera Sensitivity (Vertical) : 3

I just feel that the camera is turning very slowly with the default setting of 2. In combat, we want to be able to look around quickly to see what’s going on.

Everything else I left with the default setting.

The Guide’s format

 

This is a double format Guide. There is a full video walkthrough AND a very compact text walkthrough.

The video walkthrough will contain more detailed combat tips, so I suggest you check them out.

Each video will have a list of timecodes with all the important moments in the episodes:

  • Timecode for each Item obtained
  • Timecode for each Combat tip and boss strategy
  • Timecode for each Important info given
  • Timecode for each Trophy obtained

 

All cut scenes and NPC dialogues will be included, but if you want to skip them it will be quite easy to do so: each video will be spilt into chapters, with clear labels so you can skip the parts you don’t want to watch or would rather watch on your own.

The text version of my Final Fantasy 16 Walkthrough should also be quite useful, it is very compact, and whenever the direction or explanation isn’t detailed enough, you can always check the video to get a clearer direction.

 

FAQ

Q: Will I get all trophies, including the platinum, if I follow your guide?

A: Yes of course. But much more than that. You’ll get everything you can possibly get in one playthrough. All items, weapons, spells, etc. Everything.

 

Q: Do I have to follow your character build exactly ?

A: No. You can follow this guide and do your own build and you’ll be fine. However, this is a very optimized guide and I believe the builds I use are very optimized and powerful. Some strategies in the later part of the game are specific to my build, so you’ll have to find your own strategies if you don’t have the same Abilities / Eikonic / Gear loadout. However, FF16 is very flexible with respecing. You can reset all your Ability Points at any moment for free, so you can copy my build at any point if you’re struggling.

 

Q: Can I follow your guide if I’m on PC / PS / Xbox?

A: Not yet. This is a PlayStation exclusive for now, but there will be a PC release and my guide will be 100% compatible with the PC version. The achievements will be the same.

 

Q: I love your guides! How can I support your work?

A: There are many ways to help me become a full time guide writer:

  1. ✅Subscribe to the channel
  2. 👍Like and comment every video
  3. 📢Share this walkthrough to your communities / forums / friends
  4. ❇️Leave a tip: https://www.tipeeestream.com/james-guides/donation
  5. 👿Join our Discord to get the latest news and join an amazing community

 

Q: Can I use the Special Accessories, such as the Ring of Timely Focus for example?

A: Yes. I actually recommend using the Ring of Timely Focus and not the “Auto-Evade” one, because this allows you to do other things than evading: Parrying, Countering, etc.

               MASTER Magic Burst
Open tall double doors
CUT SCENE: Kupka Going Mad
BOSS FIGHT: Titan (Stage 1)
Optional: if you No Damage this whole fight you can get a Medal of Valor. It’s a long fight so it’s really not easy to pull off, but if you really want this Medal I’ll show you how to do it in New Game+
Combat tips:
Phase 1
  • Wait for Dodge Prompts and do Precision Counter Shots
  • Geocrush is easy to Dodge
  • Voice of the Land too, just wait for the Dodge prompt
  • At 60% HP Phase 2 starts
Phase 2
  • Dodge the Rocks until Cut Scene where you learn Brimstone
  • Then it’s the same fight, except you can use Brimstone for extra damage whenever it’s ready
  • At 10% – Cinematic Evade > Cinematic Clash
CUT SCENE: Akashic Titan
BOSS FIGHT: Titan Lost
Phase 1
  • Keep mashing R2 to fireball the rocks. Hit Dodge if you get prompts.
  • Once you reach the tails, keep firing R2 to hit the falling rocks, but focus on Dodging the crystals on the ground.
  • Cinematic Dodge > Cinematic Clash
Phase 2
  • Watch the ground and get away from the yellowish areas
  • Also be ready to dodge the follow up crystals or shockwaves after each strike
  • After each strike, you can do damage with a full combo ending with Backdraft Finish, as we previously learned
  • At 60% HP: Cinematic Dodge
Phase 3
  • Stone’s Throw: Wait for Dodge Prompt
  • Granite Rain: Watch the ground and move around to avoid falling rocks
  • At 50% HP: Cinematic Dodge
  • More of  the same
  • At 35% HP: Cinematic Clash > Cinematic Clash > Cinematic Clash
Phase 4
  • Shoot the incoming rocks as fast as you can. Only aim for the ones that have those white pulsing winds around them.
  • When no more rocks are coming your way, shoot the tail. With a Charged R2 if possible.
  • Cinematic Clash
CUT SCENE: Die Damn You
BOSS FIGHT: Titan (Stage 2)
  • In this last Phase, the safest approach is to wait for Dodge Prompts and do Precision Counter Shots
  • You can also do Charged Magic shots  in between attacks, but keep a close eye on titan and be ready to cancel the shot and Dodge if he attacks
  • You can also use Brimstone to do extra damage and speed up the process
  • The biggest risk to get hit is Earthshaker: stand in the middle and get ready to go either side and wait for the Dodge Prompt. You can also Wildfire to the side once you get used to the animation, but the safest approach is to just wait for the Dodge Prompt.
  • At 10% HP: Cinematic Dodge > Cinematic Strike > Cinematic Clash > Cinematic Dodge > Cinematic Clash
Spoils:
  • 2x Earthen Fury
  • 40x Wyrrite

Time to part with Garuda, we got enough Counters with Raging Fists and Titanic Counter, Aerial Blast is great but it’s inconvenient because of the visibility problem. Gouge is fine but not nearly as good as Lightning Rod.
Also, Earthen Fury is beautiful, but not as good as Judgment Bolt to deal big damage vs bosses.
