Master the Altissia Hunts in Final Fantasy XV! This guide breaks down Bewitched Blade, Nightmare Upon Water, Ill Weeds, Back Alley Spook, and Disappearing Hunters.
Alright, let's dive into the Altissia Hunts in Final Fantasy XV! These can be a bit tricky to get to, but we'll get you sorted. Think of these as mini-challenges to test your skills and earn some sweet rewards.
Bewitched Blade Stains the Waters
This first hunt is against a single Ronin. You'll likely be over the recommended level of 17 by now, so it shouldn't be too tough. The trickiest part is just navigating Altissia.
- Target: Ronin x1
- Level: 17
- Habitat: Altissia (Nighttime)
- Reward: 2 Stars, 3,130 Gil, Megalixir
To get there, take the gondola to The Leville Station, then hop on another gondola to Listro Park North Station. The Ronin's attacks are mostly dodgeable, but watch out for its ground spike move. Keep an eye out for parry opportunities – they're your best friend here!
A Nightmare Upon the Water
Next up are two Hecteyes. If you haven't seen these before, they're unique enemies you'll find near the weapon shop on the base level of Altissia, accessible via The Leville Station gondola. They're level 20.
- Target: Hecteyes x2
- Level: 20
- Habitat: Altissia (Nighttime)
- Reward: 2 Stars, 3,280 Gil, Megalixir
These guys aren't like Flans, so don't get confused. They have a nasty laser attack where they spin around. They're weak to polearms, shields, and holy, with no resistances, so exploit those weaknesses!
Ill Weeds Grow in the Night
This hunt throws three Alvs at you. After accepting it, take the gondola to Palsino Street Station. Cross the bridge just north of the station, and you'll find them right away. These are basically tougher Imps, and they're level 22.
- Target: Alv x3
- Level: 22
- Habitat: Altissia (Nighttime)
- Reward: 2 Stars, 3,450 Gil, Megalixir
Fighting them in a narrow space can be a pain, and the camera might give you some trouble. Their laser attack is particularly dangerous, so try to focus them down one by one. They're weak to daggers, firearms, ice, and holy, but they resist fire.
Back Alley Spook
Here you'll face two Mindflayers. If you did 'A Nightmare Upon the Water,' you know the general area: take the gondola to The Leville Station and head towards the weapon shop. These are tougher versions of enemies you've fought before, and they're level 26.
- Target: Mindflayer x2
- Level: 26
- Habitat: Altissia (Nighttime)
- Reward: 2 Stars, 3,990 Gil, Heliodor Bracelet
Mindflayers can lower your attack with their spray and even grab you, forcing you to mash Circle/B to escape. They can also inflict Confusion. They're weak to polearms, daggers, lightning, and holy, but they resist ice.
The Case of the Disappearing Hunters
This hunt requires you to complete the first four Altissia hunts first. After that, take the gondola to Palsino Street Station and head up the stairs. You'll be facing two Tonberries, who are level 29.
- Target: Tonberry x2
- Level: 29
- Habitat: Altissia (Nighttime)
- Reward: 2 Stars, 4,740 Gil, Megalixir
Tonberries can be tough if you haven't fought them before. Blocking and parrying are key here, as that's their main strategy. They're weak to daggers, firearms, ice, and holy, but they resist lightning. Master those defensive moves, and you'll take them down!
