Follow our walkthrough for the 'Full Steam' quest in Final Fantasy XVI. Learn how to defeat Akashic enemies, Sleipnir, and progress through Chapter 4.
Walkthrough
- 1Before proceeding to 'Full Steam', ensure you have all necessary supplies from the Hideaway, as you cannot return until the mission is complete.
- 2Upon arriving at Ironworks, a cutscene will play showing Mid preparing the ship. Enemies will begin to approach the dock.
- 3Clive and his party must defend the dock while Mid finishes readying the ship. There are three waves of enemies.
- 4The first wave consists of Akashic Osfrey and Akashic Folkstaf.
- 5The second wave includes Akashic Sigfreyr Soldiers and Akashic Gandfreyrs. Prioritize defeating the Gandfreyrs first, then the remaining enemies.
- 6The third wave features Akashic Sigfreyr Soldiers and an Akashic Sveithvaldr. Defeat the Sigfreyr Soldiers first, then focus on the Sveithvaldr.
- 7The Akashic Sveithvaldr is a large enemy with a significant health bar. Dodge its attacks carefully, as it can also dodge. Avoid using abilities that lock you in place, like Bahamut's Wings of Light, as you won't be able to evade its attacks.
- 8After defeating the three waves, Sleipnir will appear. It is an easy enemy that creates clones. Concentrate on defeating the clones using Eikonic abilities until the next cutscene plays.
- 9The party will board Mid's ship, and you will be returned to the world map.
- 10Proceed to The Naldia Narrow to start the next main story quest, 'Through the Maelstrom'.
Tips
- Use abilities like Heatwave to take out enemies as they enter the battlefield.
