Go to Stonehyrr
After the cutscenes are over, start following the path towards Stonehyrr. Go through the castle gate to find an abandoned settlement. The only thing players will find here are Ultima’s minions. Not long in this mission, players will have to deal with a group of enemies. Deal with them and keep following the path to find more groups of enemies standing in your way.
Further down the path, pull the lever to open the gate blocking the way forward. Along the way, there will be a short scene. Once it’s over, keep following the path towards Stonehyrr.
Village detour
According to an old map, there is a village nearby. Follow the waypoint to reach Eistla. There are some weak monsters along the way, and while they won’t pose much of a threat, they’re still good for some extra ability and experience points. The only enemy to watch out for is the Blue Trifles. They have a lot of health and their ice magic does a lot of damage.
While in Angry Gap, open the map and find a small area that is cut off from the rest of the map. In this small space is a chronolite and a treasure chest containing Masamune. if Final Fantasy 16 Players already have Rangarok, Masamune won’t be an upgrade. But if players don’t get Ragnarok, Masamune would be a nice upgrade in the meantime. Continue to follow the path and cross a bridge to reach the village.
Enter the village to receive a less-than-welcome welcome from a group of enemies. Several additional waves will appear after you deal with the first group. Once all enemies have been eliminated, a cutscene will play. Once the scene ends, explore the village.

Climb the nearby stairs and approach the obelisk to be able to quickly return to this area. Pick up the nearby High Potion and then go through the door next to it. Upon entering the house, you will play several scenes. Once you’re done with all of that, head right towards the gate that leads out of the village. Follow the southeast path towards the edge of infinity. Keep going until a cutscene plays and the world map opens. Go to Reverie to continue the story and start the next main scenario quest.
