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
- 1Leave Clive’s Chambers. You'll receive notifications about new items from Charon and Blackthorn.
- 2Consider 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.
- 3You 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).
- 4Two new hunts are available: Sekhret and Severian.
- 5Completing these side activities should grant enough Renown for a 'Cleric’s Medallion' reward.
- 6Proceed with the main quest by traveling to the Infirmary to trigger a scene.
- 7Before departing, speak with Otto in The Mess, who will direct you to Vivian in The Map Room.
- 8Listen to Vivian's explanation of the current situation.
- 9Travel 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).
