Sekhret Hunt Location and How to Beat in FF16

Find the Sekhret Notorious Mark in Final Fantasy XVI west of Rhiannon's Ride, Rosaria. Learn its attacks and the best abilities, gear, and items to defeat it.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Location: West of Rhiannon’s Ride, Rosaria
• Level: 32
• Bounty: 8,200 Gil, 20 Renown

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Sekhret uses basic attacks like Bull Charge, Swing, and Slam.
2. Phase 2 (Below half HP): Sekhret enters a frenzy with Raging Bull, a series of rapid club swings ending in a slam.

Strategy:

• Dodge Sekhret's melee attacks (Swing, Slam) by dodging to the side due to their slow wind-up.
• For Bull Charge, dodge the initial charge and be ready for a second.
• Big Swing can be dodged multiple times with Precision Dodge, or you can keep distance and attack during its recovery.
• When Sekhret uses Raging Bull (below half HP), maintain distance as dodging all strikes is difficult.
• Use abilities like Will-o'-the-Wykes for protection and damage boosts during Stagger.
• Deplete Sekhret's Will gauge with abilities like Gouge or Aerial Blast to trigger a Stagger.
• During Stagger, use Lightning Rod, followed by a Limit Break and Judgment Bolt for maximum damage.
