Quick Links
You might think that you'd deserve something akin to a 'break' in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 16 after managing to defeat Garuda and make some valuable progress in finding out more about the sup🦋posed second Dominant of Fire, but the game ⛦is simply not that kind to Clive.
Instead, soon after you wake up and get let out of the prisons at the Hideaway, you're off on another adventure. This time, to find and secure Gav, Cid's trusty scout and companion. To do this, the pair head to the Kingsfall, a normally-beautiful location filled with stunning waterfalls and gorgeous vistas. Of course, since you're here, expect to face some resistance.
Making Your Way Through The Kingsfall
As you enter this stage, walk forwards along the linear path and drop down the cliff ahead of you. In the wide space ahead, you’ll fight some Black Widows - after a few moments, more of the spiders will spawn behind you, surrounding you. This shouldn&rsquoཧ;t be a tough fight, however.
After completing the fight, cross the river by hopping onto the stone in the middle. As you continue on, you’ll hear a roar, which signifies the first miniboss you’ll fight in this stage very shortly: the Minotaur.
How To Beat The Minotaur
Minotaurs are relatively easy enemies to fight - they have slow, easily recognized attacks, and it’s an easy matter to keep your distance, only dashing in to attack during their long gaps between attacks.
The table below details all of the Minoᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtaur’sꦑ attacks.
|
Attack |
Description |
|
Headlong Rush |
The Mino🐟taur leans down and dashes at you, hoping to headbutt you. Avoiding this attack can be tricky if you dodge too early; try to dodge into the attack to take advantage of invincibility fra🎶mes, rather than relyin🧸g on Clive’s short dodges to the side. |
|
Club Swing |
The Minotaur makes an attack with its giant club. You can avoid this𒊎 attack quite simply with a dodge, thanks to how obvious the startup is - jus𒉰t make sure you’re timing is careful and not too trigger-happy. |
|
Big Swing |
The𒀰 Minotaur will swing his club around ⭕in a circle multiple times while moving towards you. This move has decent tracking and deceptive speed and makes it very difficult to get any attacks in without getting hit. Dodge away from this attack rather than through it, as you're likely to get caught by the next swing. |
Thanks to its limited moveset, the Minotaur isn't too tough an enemy. You will have to be wary of its attacks as they hit hard, but it shouldn't be hard to avoid them effectively. This fight is a good opportunity to practice using Rook's Gambit as a dodge and counter move if you have it learned.
Remember to use Deadly Embrace on the Minotaur once it gets♒ stunned after depleting half of its Stagger gauge. This will perform a takedown that leaves it open to attacks for a while, a tr💜ick you should use whenever the opportunity arises.
Garuda’s attack abilities are particularly great for depleting an enemy’s Stagger gauge, especially Wicked Wheel. Consi🌼der using these to push a strong foe i💙nto the second half of their Stagger gauge quickly.
Minotaurs drop Minotaur Manes, which are used in so♋me crafting recipes. It’s worth attacking them when you see them to stꦦockpile a few of these.
After killing the Minotaur, press on underneath the log ahead of you.
Finding Gav
Follow the path until you come to the next pack of monsters, which includes Black Widows and Hornets.
Now that you have Garuda’s abilities, you can deal with small flying monsters far easier - just use Deadly Embrace, and you’ll bring them down to your level, letting yo📖u hit them (which also stuns them♊ very quickly) easily.
Run along the thin ledge ahead and press on to face another Minotaur, this time backed up by a few Black Widows. Just use the strategy yo🌄u used previously to come out oꦺn top.
Eventually, you’ll reach a bridge, upon which you’ll start a cutscene. After the cutscene, you’ll be attacked by a handful of soldiers, led by an Imperial Captain and backed up by an Imperial Astrologer. Take out the mage first, and then clean up the r🌺est.
After clearing up the initial wave, you’ll watch a cutscene, after which you’ll be forced into a fight with a dragoon - the Knight of the Dying Sun - and a Dragon Aevis. This isn💟’t as tough as it initially seems, however, as Cid will join you in the fight.
How To Beat The Knight Of The Dying Sun
Cid will say early on that he will take on the Dragon Aevis himself, and h෴e is more than capable of doing so, so take on the Knight of the Dying Sun yourself. He’s a dragoon with just a few more tricks up his sleeve than the previous dragoon you fought in the pr𒁏ologue.
Specifically, once you’ve lowered his health enough, he will leap into the sky and use Mirage Dive, which will manifest as continuous Jump attacks that do not stop until Cid intervenes with a cutscene. When the attack occurs, just avoid the constant attacks until the cutscene kicks in. Cid will strike the dragoo🎃n down, instantly staggering him.
Also watch out for Double Jump after staggering the dragoon once. This attack will let the dragoon perform another Jump immediately after the first, and this time, the gap between the signal appearing on the ground and the attack's resolution is far shorter.
For beating this fight, you🦋’ll get the following:
|
Experience |
448 |
|
Ability Points |
120 |
|
GIl |
2,500 |
|
Spoils |
Imperial Link x2, Wyrrite x50, Blo🦩ody Hide x55, Meteorite x2 |
With that, the main stage is over. Return to the Hideaway to continue completing this quest.
