Defeat the Griffin, Dozmare, a B-Rank Hunt in final fantasy xvi. Location: Caer Norvent River Gate, Sanbreque. Reward: 8,500 Gil, 20 Renown.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Check the Hunt Board at the Hideaway for the Dozmare bill.
  2. 2
    Travel to Sanbreque and head towards Caer Norvent. Dozmare is located south of the western exit of Caer Norvent.
  3. 3
    If you do not have the Caer Norvent Obelisk registered, travel to the Lostwing Obelisk. Exit the village southeast via Cutter’s Gate and follow the winding path to Caer Norvent. Register the Obelisk.
  4. 4
    Prepare with full Potions before heading to the open area south of Caer Norvent.

Dozmare’s Attacks:

  • Aero Mine: Dozmare shoots a gust of wind that creates a persistent tornado. Keep distance or use Heatwave to dispel.
  • Swoop: Dozmare swoops low towards you. Use Precision Dodge and follow up with a counter.
  • Dive Bomb: Dozmare flies high and crashes down. Use Precision Dodge with tighter timing or keep distance by dodging backward.
  • Wing Slap: Close-range wing strike. Watch for Dozmare stepping back, then Precision Dodge. Be aware of the follow-up Pounce.
  • Pounce: Close-range jump attack, often follows Wing Slap. Dodge and be mindful of it.
  • Aerial Blast: Dozmare rises and releases a wind blast. Retreat to medium/long-range.
  • Noble Dive: Dozmare flies high, then Dive Bombs, unleashing a shockwave. Precision Dodge this attack; invincibility frames will cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) the shockwave.

Recommended Abilities:

  • Phoenix/Ifrit: Will-o’-the-Wykes (Damage/Will), Heatwave (Damage/Will)
  • Garuda: Aerial Blast (Damage/Will), Gouge (Damage/Will)
  • Ramuh: Judgment Bolt (Damage/Will), Lightning Rod (Damage/Will)

Strategy Tips:

  • Use Will-o’-the-Wykes for protection and damage during Stagger.
  • Use Heatwave on Aero Mine before it lands to dispel and counter.
  • When Dozmare’s Will gauge is half depleted, use Deadly Embrace to pull it down, then Gouge to initiate Stagger.
  • Aerial Blast can also help initiate Stagger but is less reliable.
  • During Stagger, use Lightning Rod in front of Dozmare, followed by a Limit Break and Judgment Bolt.

Recommended Gear:

  • Weapon: Levinbolt (or highest Attack)
  • Belt: Demontamer’s Sash (or highest Defense/Health)
  • Vambraces: Metian Bonds (or highest Defense/Health)

Recommended Accessories:
