If you are a fan of the FF16 Final Fantasy XVI’s combat then these hunt marks are quite the treat. Harder enemies and fun fights that really test your skills. They are a great addition to the game.

Notorious Mark #2: Belphegor

Main Quest: Out of the Shadow

Notorious Mark #9: Soul Stingers

My least favourite hunt mark. The Soul Stingers are a group of wasp-like enemies that fly. Though they have no stagger bar, they are technically bosses which makes the tactic of pulling them down with Garuda unreliable. Your best bet is to phoenix charge up to them then slam them to the ground with a plunge.

Can be found at The Dhalmekian Republic. Towards the Fields of Corava.

Level: 38

• 5000 XP

Notorious Mark #12: The breaker of Worlds / Atlas

Congrats you found your first S rank hunt mark! Now turn around and leave Atlas alone for a while. It’s somewhat cruel of the game to put Atlas here in the story. There may be a 10+ level difference between the two of you at this point and you will feel it. Atlas is fast, hits hard and the further his health goes down the more he starts layering aoe affects.

My best suggestion is to come back to him. You won’t need the rewards he drops for a while so you’re not missing out on anything and he’ll patiently wait for you to become worthy of his challenge.

Atlas is situated over at The Imperial Province of Rosaria. South of The Broken Hilt

Rewards:

• 2200 XP
• 70 AP
• 9200 Gil
• 20 Renown

Notorious Mark #15: The Mageth Brothers

One of my favourite hunts. There isn’t many time this game throw multiple stageable enemies at you so having three large axe wielding men on you at once is such a wonderful test of skills and reflexes.

As the name suggests this is a group of dogs. Though they don’t fly, like the Soul Stingers they don’t have stagger bars but class as bosses so Garuda’s pull is unreliable again for this fight.

Notorious Mark #19: Dread Comet

If you have something against beating on a chocobo then you should probably skip this one.

Main Quest: Across the Narrow

Notorious Mark #21: The Tricephalic Terror / Gorgimera

In my opinion the easiest S rank hunt but that also may be because it’s given to you when you should be at a level to manage it. This chimera-type monster shouldn’t be too much of a challenge but come prepared with potions just encase.

Gorgimera is located at the Dhelmeskian Republic. In the Velkroy Desert.

One of those large Orc Shaman-type enemies, Pandemonium has a wide swing and can teleport. Its biggest threat is when it charges its laser it will teleport at the last second so expect it to come from a different angel than what is obvious.
