Learn how to easily unlock the 'I Am the Thunder' trophy in Final Fantasy XVI by mastering the Blind Justice Eikon ability and its lightning ball mechanics.
Alright, let's talk about the 'I Am the Thunder' trophy in Final Fantasy XVI. It sounds pretty epic, and thankfully, it's not too difficult to snag once you know what you're doing. The key here is mastering the Blind Justice Eikon ability, which you get from Ramuh. Unlike some of Clive's other Eikon abilities that are all about movement, Blind Justice is more of a damage-amplifying attack. It might not hit super hard on its own, but when used correctly, it can really boost your overall damage output, especially against groups!
So, how does Blind Justice actually work? When you activate it by pressing the Square button, Clive leaps into the air and starts unleashing balls of lightning. You'll see a counter go from zero up to six. Each number represents one ball of lightning. The cool thing is, you can actually control how many balls you unleash. If you press Square again while Clive is still in the air, he'll stop casting. This is super useful if an enemy is about to hit you – you can bail out of the attack early to avoid taking damage.
For the 'I Am the Thunder' trophy specifically, your goal is to cast a total of 50 lightning balls. You can't get credit for this in the Hall of Virtue, so you'll need to be out in the world, fighting actual enemies during quests or in the open world. The best strategy is to try and use Blind Justice as often as you can whenever you run into a new group of enemies. If you're consistent with it, you'll rack up those 50 lightning balls in no time and earn that trophy!
When you're in the air casting those lightning balls, you can actually switch targets! Use the Left Analog Stick to move around and the Circle button to aim at different enemies. If you're facing a single tough enemy, you can unleash all six lightning balls on them. After that, you can follow up with regular attacks or other Eikon abilities, and they'll deal extra damage. The more lightning balls you land, the more bonus damage you'll do, but remember, the longer you stay in the air, the more vulnerable you are.
- Focus on using Blind Justice whenever you encounter enemies, especially groups.
- Don't worry about dealing massive damage with the lightning balls themselves; it's about hitting the 50-ball count.
- Be ready to cancel the attack early by pressing Square again if you're about to get hit.
- You can target up to six different enemies with the lightning balls, or focus all six on a single target.
- Remember, progress for this trophy won't count in the Hall of Virtue.
