Complete The Sword in the Waterfall in final fantasy xv. Learn about the Burbost Souvenir Emporium, Greyshire Glacial Grotto, and how to defeat the Midgardsomr.
Instruct Ignis to drive you to the Quest Location for “The Sword in the Waterfall” to reach the Burbost Souvenir Emporium outpost. This outpost features a Caravan for resting, a Rent-a-Bird, and the Burbost Souvenir Emporium shop. Purchase the Key Item Iron Shelf Recipes, Vol. 3 for 1,000 Gil to teach Ignis the “Taelpar Harvest Galette” recipe. Other items available include various Potions, Elixirs, Phoenix Downs, Antidotes, monster parts like Sabertusk Claws (180 Gil) and Behemoth Horns (5,000 Gil), auto parts like Royal Stripes I (500 Gil) and Memories of FFXI discs (100 Gil), leisure goods such as Spider Silk (30 Gil) and Hot Breathers (50 Gil), and other key items.
Venture south-west from the outpost to find stairs leading down to the wilderness. Follow the downhill path south-west until you reach a river. Here you will encounter the Midgardsomr, a powerful beast capable of inflicting massive damage and envenomation. If you choose to fight it, Star Pendants are advised, and Ignis’s Regroup ability is crucial. Warp Striking the beast’s head and retreating is key to survival. Defeating it allows you to find a Treasure Spot on a triangular peninsula to the south, yielding a Dynamo, a component for upgrading the Bioblaster. However, it is likely you will want to run past the Midgardsomr.
Continue north-west along the river, past the Midgardsomr. You will encounter Shieldshears along the rocky shore. After defeating them, continue along the shore, jumping over an obstructing rock, to find a Treasure Spot containing a Mega Phoenix. Head up the nearby ramp to reach the waterfall, known as “Callatein’s Plunge,” which hides the entrance to the Greyshire Glacial Grotto dungeon.
Greyshire Glacial Grotto
Enter the cave and search the south-western corner of the first chamber for a loot spot containing a Fossil Shell. Further in, you will encounter Flans, which are resistant to physical attacks and weak to Holy. They have low health. After reaching the end of a path, jump down an icy chute to slide to the bottom, where you will find Imps. Search the eastern end of this chamber for a loot spot containing a Potion. Continue west, and while climbing an incline, look south to find a loot spot containing a Rusty Bit on a ledge. Continue until you reach another ice chute and ride it down. At the bottom, you will encounter an Arachne. Kill the spider-woman. Note the ledge to the north-west. North-east of this ledge is a narrow shelf you can cross to proceed. Before doing so, head south-west from the Arachne’s location until you reach an ice elemental deposit. Turn east, then south-east to find a loot spot containing a Hi-Potion.
