Ferocious beasts roam Valisthea, waiting for challengers bold enough to track them down. From notorious S-Rank targets to elusive lesser marks, here’s where to find every hunt in Final Fantasy 16 and what you’ll face when you arrive.
When do you unlock hunts in Final Fantasy 16?
Hunts become available after completing the main story quest “Fire in the Sky” in the early chapters of Final Fantasy 16. Speak to the Blackthorne recruiter standing outside the Hideaway’s Arete Stone to view the Hunt Board and accept your first mark, A-rank Svarog. Progress through additional story beats to access higher-ranked targets, with all 32 hunts opening by the post-game.
After completing the “The Gathering Storm” main story quest, you’ll unlock the Hunt Board in the Hideaway. Interact with Nektar the moogle to see which hunts are available for you. As you progress in the main story, you’ll unlock more bounties to track down at the Hunt Board. Also, make sure to complete side quests with the plus icon as some of them will give you more bounties to complete.
All hunt locations in Final Fantasy 16
All hunt locations in Final Fantasy 16 are spread across Valisthea’s major regions, including Rosaria, Sanbreque, Dhalmekia, the Iron Kingdom, and Waloed.

Tips for beating hunts
Use elemental weaknesses and stagger opportunities to bring down powerful marks faster. Prepare with the right gear, accessories, and Eikonic abilities suited to each foe’s attack pattern. Watch for tells before big moves and use precision dodges to open counter windows. Summons and limit breaks can turn the tide if timed carefully, especially during high-rank targets. Keep potions and tonics stocked-endurance is just as important as striking power.
The difficulty range for hunts is quite large, so you may not need help on the C-rank bounties, but the A-rank and S-rank bounties will test your strength.
Here are a few ways to make your hunts a little easier.
- Save before heading into the hunt location. A lot of the notorious marks will pack a punch, and the S-ranks especially have the ability to kill you in two hits. If you do end up dying, you’ll have to respawn at the closest obelisk, which in most cases is very far away. Save yourself some time by saving just before the fight, so you can revert to your save file instead of making the trek back.
- Bring your best equipment. Visit the blacksmith, Blackthorne, in the Hideaway to craft the best weapons and equipment that you can. You’ll want to increase your damage output and defenses as high as you can before taking on the more difficult notorious marks.
- Stock up on potions. Head to Charon’s shop and fill up your inventory with items. Pick up potions, elixirs, or whatever your heart desires, but make sure to head into the fight prepared.
- Upgrade your abilities. If you have any ability points lying around, use them to increase the strength of your abilities by upgrading them in the abilities menu. Any improvement to your damage output will be a great help. If you don’t like the upgraded ability, you can refund any of your upgrades at no cost whenever you want.
- Try, try again. Some of the more difficult hunts will really test your patience as the fearsome foes deal half of your health in one hit. However, there is no punishment in dying. If you know you’re going to die, focus on learning the enemy’s moveset to head into the next battle with a better game plan.
