Final Fantasy XVI: How to Unlock the Grim Reaper Hunt

Certain conditions must be met in order to access the Grim Reaper hunt in Final Fantasy 16.

Where to Find the Grim Reaper

When players return to the hideout to resume the hunt, they need stock up on health potions and valuable buffs. After getting there quickly, leave Sanbreque by walking north, then west, to Cape Orsiere. Atop a hill, the Prince of Deah will stand.

How to Unlock the Grim Reaper Hunt

Final Fantasy 16’s Grim Reaper hunt cannot be accessed until the player initiates Back to Their Origin, the game’s penultimate main mission. There are now many more optional quests available. However, only two of them must be finished in order to gain access to the Grim Reaper hunt:

• Under New Management
• Under New Management 2

Simply starting Back to Their Origin and talking to Jill will grant access to Under New Management 2. The next step is to finish the quest and look for the Grim Reaper’s entry on the Hunt board.

Imperial soldiers stationed at the Northreach outpost have a proverb that goes something like this: “avoid the drowned tower lest the specter’s sickle reap your root.” They describe the aetherflood-one, “whose frightening appearance and command over lesser minions would appear to mark him as a high-ranking member of his species,” in characteristically crude terms.

How to Beat Prince of Death

The Grim Reaper/Prince of Death is analogous to the Lich foes that frequently show up with Akashic foes and use similar tactics when attacking. It’s possible that this A-rank monster moves and hits harder and faster than the gamers are used to facing. Therefore, it’s smart to follow this recommendation:

• Clive should be more patient in order to avoid getting caught by the Prince of Death’s delayed slices when it uses its scythe for close-range assaults.
• At range, it can also wield its scythe to unleash devastating waves at Clive. Keep on the move or use Heatwave to deflect the incoming projectiles; they will arrive in groups of three.

• When it’s down to its last few health bars, it’ll pull out Soul Harvest and unleash a lengthy barrage of swipes, smashes, and teleports. Don’t rush into battle; instead, hold off on attacking until the enemy has finished attacking.
• The Prince of Death will also begin swinging its scythe, which will generate a gravity well where it lands. To ensure Clive’s safety, please move aside.

Players will earn 8,000 Experience Points, 100 Ability Points, 15,000 Gold Pieces, and 45 Renown for defeating the Prince of Death. Players that persevere through the ordeal will be rewarded with the rare and precious Darksteel substance.
