Youth Era (Prologue)

A Flame Summoned

The first chapter of the game will start with this mission. You will be thrown into a cutscene where you will have to pilot the phoenix to strike the Eikon of the fire. A quick way to navigate through this would be to hold down the highlighted button to make sure you are constantly firing.

The first one on the Final Fantasy 16 Mission List. An interesting start to an equally interesting journey full of adversity, danger, and heartfelt companionship.

To Kill a Dominant

You will be taught how to move. Follow the highlights and immerse yourself in the cutscene that takes place in your journey.

Pride

You will have to fight with Murdock. This will help you accustom yourself to the combat controls of the game.

Sunrise, Sunset (Phoenix Eikon Unlocked)

In this chapter, you will have to navigate your way to the throne room which you can enter through a side entrance. Once inside, find Archduke Elwin and speak with him. Heeding his words, make your way to the chambers on the floor above the throne room. From here, travel to Stillwind.

Lost in a Fog

You will find yourself in Stillwind, accompanied by Tyler and Wade. You will have to travel to the abandoned swamp to find the truth about the goblin invasion and put an end to it for the better. Here you will meet your first boss who will give you a run for your money.

The boss is named Gigas and he is a goblin leader. Except for his resilience to new players, he shouldn’t be quite hard to beat. Once you are done, make your way to the Phoenix Gate.

Flight of a Fledgling

You will be playing as Joshua and will be accompanied by Wade as your guide. Follow Wade and slay any monsters you encounter on your way. This will help you get settled with the controls once more.

As you make your way through the forest, the character control will switch to Clive. Now as Clive, you must do the same and kill all the enemies that oppose you. As you keep moving forward, you will find yourself amid a courtyard with a foe named the Knight of the Blinding Dawn. During your fight, a cutscene will trigger. 

Afterward, you will have to battle with the Eikon of fire as Phoenix. An easier way to victory would be to hold the highlighted key and have the target lock on.

Adolescence Era (First Act)

A Chance Encounter

In this Final Fantasy 16 mission, you will find yourself on some hills. Here you must follow your two comrades, Tiamat and Aevis that will lead you to the next boss fight. The boss is known as Shiva Dominant, feared amongst her enemies due to her destructive prowess.

Fortunately for you, she has suffered quite some injuries from her battle with Titan and is comparatively less powerful. This makes her prey for you to take down. After defeating her, make your way through the mob of the Iron Blood Crusaders by destroying them. 

Here you will find yourself feeling a sense of belonging and recognition for Shiva and will interfere in killing her off. Hence, after the Crusaders, you will now find yourself in a face-to-face with your buddy, Tiamat. You must beat Tiamat here and then find your way to the Hideaway.

Awakening

Once you enter the Eye of the Tempest, you will come face to face with a newer and evolved version of Benedikta called Garuda. This form is far more powerful and dangerous so you definitely do not want to relax.

You will encounter her at the start of the stage but she won’t be able to damage you until the later half, where a boss fight cinematic will initiate. Defeat her and progress forward to the next stage. 

The Wages of Guilt

This is a short mission aimed at providing you with information and pushing you in the right direction. Make your way to the Great Hall and you will spot Cid sitting in the middle. Interact with him and then head to Kingsfall.

The Hunter and the Hunted

Once in Kingsfall, follow the dirt road and lay waste to any opponent to come across. As you move forward, you will encounter a minotaur that you must defeat in order to follow the trail further.

About Side-Quests

Side-quests are additional tasks or missions that exist alongside the main storyline. They offer you an opportunity to explore the game world, engage in activities, and uncover additional content beyond the central narrative.

Other than these missions, there are other side missions as well that you can participate in to get additional rewards. However, the missions mentioned are ones that you will have to do to progress further into the story. 

With that, we conclude our Final Fantasy 16 Mission List guide. Let us know your thoughts on the game so far.
