  • Having trouble with Leviathan's water shield/ bubble? Well worry no more!
    In this video we are going to focus on how to defeat the Leviathan Boss in the game Final Fantasy XVI. This final boss will be a good test of your skills, using your new abilities and more. Plus lets get that Trophy / Achievement: Explain That (Tamed the tides)
    Final Fantasy XVI is a 2023 action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix. The sixteenth main installment in the Final Fantasy series, it was released for the PlayStation 5. The game features segmented open environments and an action-based combat system involving melee and magic-based attacks. There are recurring series features including Chocobos for area travel, and summoned monsters called Eikons, which are both fought as bosses and used through channelling their power in combat.
    Final Fantasy XVI is set in the twin continents of Valisthea, currently divided between six nations who hold power through access to magical Crystals and Dominants, humans who act as hosts for each nation's Eikon. Tensions between the nations escalate as a magical drought dubbed the Blight begins consuming the land. Clive Rosfield, guardian to his younger brother Joshua, witnesses his kingdom destroyed and becomes involved in the growing conflict between Valisthea's nations and a secret power driving the war.
    In the Rising Tide DLC, an unmarked letter arrives at the hideaway containing a request most curious: the Dominant of Leviathan, long lost Eikon of Water, is in need of rescue. To heed this call, Clive and his companions must journey to Mysidia-a hidden land under a blue sky-where they will uncover the tragic history of a forgotten people.

      Yeah, the difficulty is unfair. The tornado at 23 minutes is unavoidable. I spammed the wildfire dash as fast as I could, and still got caught in it. And if you're in hard mode, it's an insta-kill. So I gave up

    I was able to avoid the Waterspout by using Wildfire to move quickly away from the waterspout. It tracks towards you at first, but you can avoid it.
    Thanks for posting this video! It helped me with Phase 3 after 10 times trying to beat it haha!

  • @SilverKingGary
    @SilverKingGary Před měsícem

    So I dodged the giant tornado by rushing to the left and not heading back at all, It looks like it follows you and moving away from him just gives it more time to turn.

  • @CarlMakesVideos
    @CarlMakesVideos Před měsícem

    Waterspout can be sort of kited around by going back and towards the side, and then once you're clear of it (so that you can see leviathan behind it), foward toward leviathan. Dodging after your dash move might mitigate some of the endlag the dash has, but I'm not sure about that.
    The biggest issue I had was that first "press the attack" and the consequent tsunami game over. It seems to me the countdown doesnt start until after it blows you back a third time, and it reaches a certain hp threshold. What worked for me (on normal "action-focused" difficulty) was to not launch the fire laser move after the second time Im knocked away (i saw muktiple failures launching it just before being knocked away the third time, because it made the countdown start when I was VERY far away), and when you're attacking the shield, focus on moves that deal stagger damage (namely, a short melee combo with a magic->magic finisher, since the ifrit moveset has has that explosion finisher that launches you into the air.) You can follow this up with the same thing in midair. If anyone has a better method, I'd like to know, because what I did only barely worked, and I doubt it would work at all on a higher difficulty.

    I tried running down and slightly left immediately and that worked. Then I somehow managed to avoid all the combined attacks onslaught for zero damage. Just defeated him on final fantasy mode but that was the hardest boss of the game without a doubt. I’m actually shaking. Thanks for the help man!

      The method I found is to fire spitflare right off the bat, then rush in and spam your combos and abilities (when they're available), while dodging the projectiles and pillars. I finished that section with 3 seconds left on FF mode that way
