Navigating the expansive world of Final Fantasy 16 can be a daunting task, leading players to frequently lose their sense of direction. While consulting the map is typically the go-to solution, there are certain areas where this option is unavailable, leaving players feeling even more lost.
To compound the challenge, quest markers may not always provide the necessary guidance in Final Fantasy 16. While exploration can eventually lead to the right path, utilizing Torgal's Animal Instincts offers a quicker and more efficient means of navigating through these intricate areas.
What Does Animal Instinct Do?
When players find themselves trapped in one of the more perplexing regions of Final Fantasy 16, they can rely on the Animal Instinct ability to effortlessly navigate their way out. By activating this ability, Torgal will lead the way to Clive's intended destination, streamlining the player's journey and eliminating any unnecessary detours.
Once Animal Instinct is activated, a wolf symbol will materialize above Torgal's body and persist even after the ability is deactivated. This feature proves particularly advantageous as the symbol remains visible even when Torgal is out of sight, allowing players to easily track and follow his path.
When Torgal is not present during the activation of Animal Instinct, the camera will automatically point towards an active quest marker, providing players with a general indication of their next destination. While this feature of Animal Instinct can be quite useful, it is most effective when Torgal is present.
The Animal Instinct ability proves to be a valuable tool not only when players are unable to access the map, but also in uncovering hidden collectibles. Instead of following Torgal, players should explore the area he avoided, typically leading them to an optional zone where Clive can discover a treasure or two.
How To Use Torgal's Animal Instinct
Activate the Animal Instinct ability in Final Fantasy 16 by simply pressing and holding down the L3 analog stick. To cease using Animal Instinct, players can release the L3 analog stick or instruct Clive to move.
Torgal is an indispensable companion for players looking to advance through the challenging levels of Final Fantasy 16. Not only does he serve as a reliable guide, but he also possesses the ability to engage in combat with other enemies. In a gesture of gratitude, players have the option to interact with Torgal by pressing X and petting him.
Final Fantasy 16 is available exclusively on PlayStation 5.
