Quick Links
After a brief confrontation with Benedikta, Clive and Cid continue their search for information about the Dominant of Fire that was allegedly seen in Lostwing while also taking some time to rest up and recover their strength. In the meantime, Cid's scout goes out to try and find out where Benedikta and her forces have taken the Dominant of Fire. In this next main scenario quest, Final Fantasy 16 players will get to see Lostwing when it is not being occupied by hostile forces. Here is what players can expect as they begin the eighth main scenario quest in Final Fantasy 16, "The Dead of Night".
Speak to Quinten
As "The Dead of Night" begins, players will first need to speak with someone named Quinten. Follow the red waypoint to reach him. After a cutscene, he gives players a Curiosity called The Hanged Man. From there, players will need to speak with two different people in Lostwing.
The first person can be found in the south part of Lostwing while the second can be found up north past the shop. Players do not need to actually use The Hanged Man. It can be considered a Key Item, though the game classifies it as a Curiosity instead. After speaking with both individuals, follow the red waypoint to find Cid and talk to him. This triggers a brief cutscene where Clive talks about what he's found out so far.
After the cutscene is over, return to Quinten and speak to him again. He gives the duo a place to sleep and asks for them to take down a barricade. This is something that happens entirely off-screen, so players do not need to do anything to bring it down. At that point, the quest will update and direct players to head to Caer Norvent.
To Caer Norvent
Go toward Cutter's Gate to follow the red waypoint. Cutter's Gate can be reached by going up the steps that lead to the top of the stone wall. After leaving Lostwing, look to the right to find a Valley Madder on the ground. Since this is a crafting material, players will want to keep an eye out for it and others scattered across the world. Follow the path through the forest and deal with any enemies that block the path forward. There are only a handful of groups, and they aren't particularly difficult to bring down.
Continue following the path and eventually a cutscene will trigger. The caer is too heavily guarded to try and go in through the front door. Thankfully, there is a way into the caer through a series of tunnels that are underneath a bridge that connects to the caer. After the cutscene is over, the world map will open and players will have the option to travel to Caer Norvent. This triggers a series of cutscenes before the games switches to Clive and Cid emerging inside the caer, which ends the current main scenario quest and starts "Headwind".
Final Fantasy 16 is available now on PlayStation 5.
