Need help with the Rekindling The Flame side quest in Final Fantasy XVI? Follow our walkthrough to defeat bandits and the elite enemy Two Scoops, and claim your rewards.
Alright, so you're ready to tackle another side quest in Final Fantasy XVI, huh? This one's called 'Rekindling The Flame,' and it's a good one for gathering some crafting materials. First, make sure you've finished the main story mission 'Things Fall Apart' and are currently on 'Cloak and Dagger.' Once that's done, zip over to Martha's Rest and have a chat with Martha. She's got a bit of a situation: some Bearers and Guardians have stayed with her, but there's not enough room. She wants to set up a new home in Eastpool, but some pesky bandits are messing things up. Your job? Clear them out!
- 1Talk to Martha: Head to Martha's Rest and speak with Martha to accept the quest.
- 2Prepare and Travel: After chatting with Martha, step outside and talk to Wade. It's always a good idea to stock up on Potions before heading out. Then, fast travel to the Eastpool Obelisk.
- 3Clear the Settlers: As you head up the stairs in Eastpool, you'll run into a bunch of 'Unsavory Settlers.' These are pretty standard enemies. Use your Ignition ability to group them all up, then unleash some of your Area of Effect (AoE) abilities like Flames of Rebirth, Scarlet Cyclone, or Aerial Blast. They'll go down pretty quickly!
- 4Face Two Scoops: Just when you think you're done, an elite enemy named 'Two Scoops' will spawn. This guy is tougher, so you'll need to focus on staggering him. We're talking about getting his stagger bar down to the halfway point using Magic Bursts. Once he's staggered, hit him with Deadly Embrace to stun him, then follow up with Gouge. After that, strategically place Lightning Rod directly in front of him, unleash your Limit Break, and then blast him with Gigaflare. This combo should take a huge chunk out of his health. You'll likely need to repeat this process about twice to finally defeat him.
- 5Dodge Two Scoops' Attacks: Keep an eye on Two Scoops' moves. He's got a few tricks up his sleeve:
- Leap: He'll jump up and dive at you. Just dodge to the side to avoid this.
- 6Electro Orbs: He'll shoot out orbs that slowly track you. The best bet here is to just keep your distance until they dissipate.
- 7Bite: If you're too close, he'll try to lunge and bite. If you're moving around, you should be able to avoid this easily.
- 8Laser Beam: Once his health drops below half, he gains a nasty laser beam attack. It's a straight line, so keep your distance or you'll take continuous damage.
- 9Loot and Return: After you've defeated all the enemies, take a moment to explore the area. There are usually some chests lying around that might contain useful accessories. Once you're done looting, head back to Martha's Rest and report to Martha to complete the quest.
