Find the Tricephalic Terror, Gorgimera, in Final Fantasy XVI's Velkroy Desert. Learn its attacks like Fire Breath and Delta Attack, and discover the best abilities to defeat this S-Rank hunt.

Location:

  1. Teleport to The Dalimil Inn obelisk in Dhalmekia.
  2. Exit the town via the northern exit.
  3. Continue north until you can turn west.
  4. Head west/northwest into the Velkroy Desert.
  5. Search the northwest portion of the lower southwest area of the desert to find Gorgimera.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Level: 45
  • Location: Velkroy Desert, Dhalmekia
  • Bounty: 27,000 Gil, 50 Renown

Phases:

  1. Two-Hit Combo: Gorgimera slams one paw, then the other. Dodge, sidestep, parry, or keep distance.
  2. Dive Bomb: Gorgimera flies up and dives. Dodge or sidestep as it swoops.
  3. Fire Breath: Gorgimera breathes fire in a line. Move to its sides or back, or dodge through the flames.
  4. Electric Storm: Bolts of electricity strike marked areas. Avoid the markers or dodge if caught. Often followed by Dive Bomb.
  5. Rime: The left dragon head (Gorgimera's right) breathes ice crystals that explode. Maintain distance or dodge the explosions.
  6. Delta Attack: Combines fire, ice, and lightning into an exploding circle. Rush Gorgimera as the attack starts to get free hits.
  7. Delta Force: Four Delta Attacks simultaneously. The safe spot is the center, far enough back to avoid the front circle. Dodge through the attacks.
  8. The Dragon’s Voice: Lightning circles appear and explode. Run towards Gorgimera to avoid.
  9. The Ram’s Voice: Gorgimera creates an area-of-effect attack around itself. Run away from Gorgimera to avoid.

Strategy:

  • Recommended Abilities:
    • Bahamut: Gigaflare (Damage), Will-o’-the-Wykes (Will)
    • Shiva: Diamond Dust (Will), Lightning Rod (Damage/Will)
    • Titan: Windup (Damage/Will), Raging Fists (Utility - recovery)
  • Prioritize dodging and evading Gorgimera's elemental attacks.
  • Exploit the openings after its powerful attacks like Delta Attack and Dive Bomb for damage.
  • Use abilities that deal high Will damage, like Diamond Dust, to stagger Gorgimera.
  • Be prepared to react quickly to the arena-wide attacks like Electric Storm, Delta Force, The Dragon's Voice, and The Ram's Voice.
