Find Agni, the Notorious Mark, in Final Fantasy XVI. Learn its location near Halfcombe and master its attacks with our detailed strategy guide and recommended abilities.
Location:
Agni can only be found during or after the Brotherhood main scenario quest, near the end of the game. Teleport to Eistla, Waloed and take the eastern exit. Follow the path south past Halfcombe until you reach a large circular area with Fallen ruins. Agni will appear as you approach the ruins.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Level: 40
- Bounty: 15,500 Gil, 35 Renown
Agni's Attacks and Counters:
- Collider: Agni leaps, turns into a ball, spins, then belly-flops. Dodge into the spinning ball and time your dodge for the belly-flop.
- Hand Smash: Agni smashes the ground with one hand, then the other, potentially followed by a Head Lunge. Dodge to the same side as the first hand smash to avoid the follow-up.
- Head Lunge: Agni rears up and lunges forward to headbutt. This attack often misses if you are not standing still directly in front of it.
- Rolling Side Slam: Agni slams down on its legs, followed by a roll. Dodge to the opposite side of Agni to avoid both the slam and the roll.
- Spinning Bounce: Agni leaps, curls into a ball, and bounces around the arena. Dodge each bounce or keep your distance and use Charged Magic.
- Tail Slap: Agni swings its tail side-to-side. Move to its front to avoid this attack.
- Firewater: Agni sprays a beam of fire side-to-side. Dodge through the beam for Precision Dodges or attack from its sides/back while it's stationary.
