Follow our comprehensive walkthrough for Final Fantasy XVI's 'After The Storm' main quest. Discover new crafting recipes, side quests, hunts, and essential story progression.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Leave Clive’s Chambers. You'll receive notifications about new items from Charon and Blackthorn.
  2. 2
    Consider crafting the Platinum Sword, an upgrade for Levinbolt, especially if reinforced to +2. You can also craft a Platinum Belt and Platinum Cannons, though these are less critical upgrades.
  3. 3
    You can now undertake two new side quests: 'Cut from the Cloth' (talk to Hortense, Keeper of the Stores on the Boarding Deck) and 'The Root of the Problem' (talk to Nigel, the Head Botanist at The Backyard).
  4. 4
    Two new hunts are available: Sekhret and Severian.
  5. 5
    Completing these side activities should grant enough Renown for a 'Cleric’s Medallion' reward.
  6. 6
    Proceed with the main quest by traveling to the Infirmary to trigger a scene.
  7. 7
    Before departing, speak with Otto in The Mess, who will direct you to Vivian in The Map Room.
  8. 8
    Listen to Vivian's explanation of the current situation.
  9. 9
    Travel to Rosaria to trigger the next main quest, 'Capital Punishment'.
Tips
  • Completing side content and hunts before the next main quest, 'Capital Punishment', can provide valuable XP and AP, as it involves a powerful foe.
  • Consider farming Ability Points (AP) quickly and completing all available side quests and hunts to prepare for upcoming challenges.
  • Cleric’s Medallion (from accumulating Renown through side content).
