Across the Narrow

Guide for 'Across the Narrow' in Final Fantasy XVI, covering travel to Waloed, infiltration of the Royal Palace, and strategy for the Odin boss fight.

Objectives:

  • Travel to Waloed.
  • Infiltrate the Royal Palace.
  • Confront Barnabas Tharmr.

Strategy:

Waloed is a land of ancient forests and formidable warriors. You'll face Waloeder Knights, who are skilled swordsmen, and various beasts. Use Shiva's abilities like 'Diamond Dust' for crowd control and 'Mesmerize' for stunning enemies. The Royal Palace is a sprawling complex with many elite enemies. Be prepared for challenging encounters. The boss fight against Barnabas Tharmr, the Dominant of Odin, is a duel of skill and precision. Barnabas is a master swordsman, capable of incredibly fast and unpredictable attacks. He frequently uses 'Zantetsuken', a powerful unblockable attack that requires precise dodging. Focus on parrying his regular attacks and counter-attacking. Use Odin's 'Gungnir' for sustained damage and 'Zantetsuken' (once acquired) for a devastating finisher during stagger. This fight is a true test of your combat mastery.
