Electrum gleams as Final Fantasy 16’s rarest prize, fueling ultimate upgrades for Clive’s arsenal. Players chase it through treacherous rifts and cunning trades-master these paths to claim your share.
How to get electrum in FF16
Electrum comes from defeating Severian, a Rank B Notorious Mark at level 31 located west-northwest of Martha’s Rest in Rosaria’s North Sorrowise near a crashed Fallen airship. This hunt unlocks on the board in Cid’s Hideaway after completing the Fire and Ice main quest. Severian drops one Electrum upon defeat, the sole source needed to craft the Drakeslayer’s Belt at Blackthorne.
Electrum is one of the rewards for defeating the notorious mark, Severian. The Severian hunt is unlocked after completing the “Fire and Ice” main scenario quest, so make sure to finish it before searching for the hunt!
Severian is a level 31 B-rank hunt located to the north of Sorrowise in Rosaria. The quickest way to reach Severian is to teleport to the Martha’s Rest obelisk and head off west towards the wooden elevator. Follow the path north around the bend to find Severian curled up into a ball. Before you approach it, make sure to spend your ability points! There is no refund cost, so go in with everything you got.
Tips on beating Severian
- Watch our for “Eradicate”: Eradicate is one of Severian’s deadliest moves, and will inflict a lot of damage to you if you get caught in its whirling blades. As soon as you see Eradicate pop up on your screen, fall back and prepare to dodge the upcoming lunge.
- Severian’s sword is deceptively long: It’s a good idea to keep some distance between you and Severian as their beam sword is longer than you think. They also have many attacks where they’ll quickly close the gap between the two of you, so as soon as that sword comes out, get ready to dodge.
- The AOE is a two-parter: One of Severian’s unnamed attacks will create a light blue circle around it, indicating that there will be an attack inside said circle. However, an even larger circle will appear immediately after, so run far away to avoid both attacks!
Where to find Severian on the Hunt Board map
Severian appears on the Hunt Board in Final Fantasy 16 after completing the “Fire and Ice” main quest, entering the “After the Storm” phase.
Hunt Board Location
The Hunt Board sits in Cid’s Hideaway at the Message Center, directly opposite the shop counter and near the entrance from the Hideaway’s main area. Speak to Nektar at the board to accept the Severian hunt, which reveals its map marker in Rosaria.
Map Marker Details
Once accepted, Severian’s icon-a skull symbol for Notorious Marks-pins north of Sorrowise in the Grand Duchy of Rosaria, directly above the “Sorrowise” label on the world map. The nearest fast travel point is Martha’s Rest Obelisk; from there, exit west into the marshes and follow the northern path about 30 seconds to reach it.

Step-by-Step Directions
Exit Martha’s Rest through the western gate toward Sorrowise in Rosaria. Take the elevator down into the marshes, then proceed west along the main path.
Turn right (northwest) onto the winding trail through the northern Sorrowise area. Follow this path around a loop for about 30 seconds until Fallen Remnants appear ahead; Severian coils on the ground near them and activates on approach.
Visual Landmarks
Look for the skull map marker directly above “Sorrowise” on the world map after accepting the hunt. The enemy resembles coiled debris amid ruins until battle starts.
