Unveiling the Ultimate Final Fantasy 16: Mastering the After the Storm Walkthrough

Quick Links

Check on Jill

Clive and his allies, after years of anticipation, finally encountered a new opportunity to pursue one of the remaining Mothercrystals. As the threat of war loomed ahead, the Dragon's Breath Mothercrystal remained largely unguarded. Seizing this chance in the previous main scenario quest of Final Fantasy 16, Clive and Jill covertly infiltrated and eradicated yet another Mothercrystal.

The subsequent main scenario quest, titled "After the Storm", may be relatively short, but it offers players numerous avenues for advancement. For players of Final Fantasy 16, this quest serves as an ideal juncture to undertake side quests and enhance their equipment before progressing further in the narrative.

This walkthrough contains spoilers, so players should proceed with caution.

Preparations to Consider

After finishing all the cutscenes, the initial task in "After the Storm" is to visit the infirmary and check up on Jill. Alternatively, players have the option to utilize this time to engage in non-story related objectives within the game. The shop offers new items for purchase, and players will also have the opportunity to enhance their armor and weapons with newly introduced upgrades. In addition to managing the inventory, there are various intriguing side quests waiting to be pursued.

Completing the side quest "The Root of the Problem" offers a valuable item that enhances the effectiveness of healing items such as Potions and High Potions. It is highly recommended for players to prioritize this side quest before advancing in the story.

Additionally, the Hunt Board has been updated and now features various new Notorious Marks for players to tackle. One particularly noteworthy target is Severian, who drops the highly sought-after Electrum required for crafting the powerful Drakeslayer's Belt. Investing time in crafting this belt would greatly benefit players due to its significant upgrade. It is worth noting that both the mentioned side quest and hunt can be tackled simultaneously as they occur in close proximity to each other.

Check on Jill

Enter the infirmary to initiate a cutscene as Clive checks on Jill to assess her condition after exerting all her energy in the previous main quest scenario. Just as they share a heartfelt moment, their tranquility is abruptly interrupted. Shortly after, another cutscene unfolds, revealing that Titan's Dominant, Hugo Kupka, has set an unmistakable trap. By confronting and overcoming Hugo Kupka, Clive and his comrades not only safeguard their old sanctuary but also alleviate one concern from their minds.

To progress the story, players of Final Fantasy 16 should first have a conversation with Otto in the Mess, followed by speaking with Vivian. Before engaging with them, however, it is advisable for players to utilize this opportunity for any final preparations. This may involve pursuing additional Notorious Marks or completing remaining side quests—any effort made in preparation will prove beneficial in the future. Upon reaching Rosalith, the next main scenario quest will initiate. Final Fantasy 16 is currently accessible on PlayStation 5.
