Complete walkthrough for the Hammerhead Hunts (2) in Final Fantasy XV, covering Rookie Hunter Tragedy, The Pride of the King, Serpent of the Abyss, and Lonely Rumblings in Longwythe.
This section covers four hunts available from Hammerhead: Rookie Hunter Tragedy, The Pride of the King, Serpent of the Abyss, and Lonely Rumblings in Longwythe.
Rookie Hunter Tragedy
Requires Hunter Rank 4. Ashenhorns are beefed-up Dualhorns. They are level 39 and can be found directly south of the “e” in The Weaverwilds’ “The.” They are weak to polearms, shields, and fire, while being strong against ice and holy.
| Level | Target | Habitat | Reward |
| 39 | Ashenhorn (x3) | The Weaverwilds (All Times) | 3 Stars, 7,330 Gil, Mega Phoenix |
The Pride of the King
Requires Hunter Rank 6. The Behemoth is a level 47 enemy found roaming in front of the Keycatrich Ruins to the north. It has around 103,000 health. It is weak to greatswords and shields, while being strong against fire and holy. Its attacks can deal significant damage, but can be dodged or blocked. Be mindful of its tail sweep attack when attacking from behind and its horn attack. Blocking and parrying are effective strategies.
| Level | Target | Habitat | Reward |
| 47 | Behemoth x1 | Keycatrich Ruins (All Times) | 3 Stars, 10,020 Gil, Mega Phoenix |

Serpent of the Abyss
Requires you to finish the Crestholm Channels dungeon/sidequest. The Jormungand is a level 58 target found in the Crestholm Channels. Protection against fire is highly recommended; making Lasagna al Forno at a nearby camp can provide immunity. The fight is similar to the Midgardsormr, with most attacks being fire-based. Watch out for its fire breath and fire spit attacks. It also has a less frequent area-of-effect move.
| Level | Target | Habitat | Reward |
| 58 | Jormungand (x1) | Crestholm Channels (All Times) | 4 Stars, 16,560 Gil, Ruby Bracelet |
Lonely Rumblings in Longwythe
Requires progressing to Chapter 9. To start this hunt, progress to Chapter 9, use Umbra to return to Lucis, and complete the “Let Sleeping Mountains Lie” sidequest. The hunt will then be available from Takka in Hammerhead. The Adamantoise is a level 99 target with 5 million HP, and the fight requires patience, potentially lasting one to two hours. It is recommended to be at least level 60+ and have the Zwill Crossblades. Use strength-increasing items, Muscle Stimulants/Power EXs, Enhancement for Ignis, and Piercer for Prompto. Start by attacking its fins. After dealing enough damage, its head will lower, exposing its neck behind the tusks as a vulnerable spot. Continue attacking until it raises its head again.
| Level | Target | Habitat | Reward |
| 99 | Adamantoise (x1) | Longwythe Peak (All Times) | 5 Stars, 50,000 Gil, Adamantite Bangle |
Keep attacking the fins (left) until its head is lowered, making is vulnerable for more damage (right).
