In Final Fantasy 16, players can create various pieces of gear for Clive to utilize throughout his journey. This encompasses weapons, belts, and bracers, which enhance his offensive and defensive capabilities. While most of the essential materials can be obtained by progressing through the story and battling adversaries, locating certain rare materials may require some exploration and defeating formidable enemies.
One material that players may struggle to find in Final Fantasy 16 is known as Gelatinous Mass. This substance is crucial for crafting Drakeslayer's Bracelets and can only be obtained from a solitary enemy in the entire game. To acquire this material, players will need to embark on a hunt for the Flan Prince.
How to Get Gelatinous Mass in Final Fantasy 16
To locate Gelatinous Mass, players will need to embark on the search for the Flan Prince, situated west of Amber at Hawk's Cry Cliff in Rosaria. The Flan Prince can be found specifically at the cliff's lowest point, directly west of Amber. This formidable enemy possesses a range of magical attacks, including Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Tornado, and Quake, and utilizes electrical spheres to harass players from various distances.
The Flan Prince has the ability to propel itself towards Clive from a distance and execute a powerful chain slam using its massive hands, causing immense damage. When its health reaches half, it becomes even more dangerous by twincasting, utilizing two spells simultaneously to create further chaos on the battlefield.
To defeat the Flan Prince, it is essential to anticipate its leap towards Clive after casting a spell. Evade this leap and strike with force to weaken and stagger it. Take advantage of this opportunity by using Eikonic attacks to steadily drain its health. Additionally, there are chances to retaliate after evading its spinning attack as well as after it completes the slamming assault. It is noteworthy that the Flan Prince will only perform its overhead slamming combo after losing half of its health. Players should be vigilant for the wind-up motion of this attack and evade all three slams before attempting a counterattack.
Once the Flan Prince is dead, players will receive the Gelatinous Mass and other rewards.
Where to Use Gelatinous Mass (Drakeslayer's Bracelets)
The Gelatinous Mass is only used in one crafting recipe: the Drakeslayer's Bracelets. To craft these powerful Vambraces, you will need a Dragon Talon, 20 Briar Clam Shells, and 1 Scarletite. Considered the third-best Vambraces in the game, they are definitely worth the effort of locating the Flan Prince. Unlock the recipe by completing Blacksmith's Blues.
Final Fantasy 16 is available for PS5.
