Final Fantasy 16 introduces a dynamic hunting system that challenges players to track down notorious marks scattered across the vast regions of Valisthea. One such formidable target is the Ten of Clubs, a dangerous Rank B outlaw who attacks travelers passing through his territory. Tracking this particular target down requires a combination of progression through the main story and careful exploration of the desert landscapes.
Unlocking the Hunt Board Bounty
Before you can begin searching for this notorious mark, you must reach a specific point in the main campaign. The bounty becomes active on the Hunt Board once you complete the Fire in the Sky main story quest line. Checking the board regularly allows Clive to stay updated on dangerous threats emerging across the continents.
This level 35 human enemy possesses powerful melee attributes that can easily overwhelm unprepared adventurers. Ensuring that your equipment is optimized and your elemental abilities are ready will give you a significant advantage. It is highly recommended to finalize your character preparation inside the Hideaway before traveling to the target area.
Navigating to the Fields of Corava
The Ten of Clubs has taken up residence within the borders of the Dhalmekian Republic, specifically inside a desolate area. To reach him efficiently, players should use the local fast travel network to arrive at the Dravozd Obelisk. If you have not unlocked that node yet, starting your trek from The Jaw waypoint and heading north is a reliable alternative path.
Once you arrive in the region, navigate directly toward the southeast corner of the Fields of Corava. You will be looking for a small, abandoned village outpost known locally by the name Vamare. As you enter these ruined structures, the outlaw will step forward to initiate the sudden boss battle encounter.
Defeating the Axe Wielding Outlaw
The combat style of this opponent focuses heavily on heavy axe swings that deal substantial physical damage upon impact. He utilizes wide, sweeping movements that can easily clip players who dodge too early or stay within close range for too long. Paying close attention to his startup animations will help you execute perfect precision dodges.
In addition to physical prowess, the boss utilizes long-range magical abilities such as Peine Forte to pressure you from a distance. Utilizing ranged magic abilities from the Ramuh skill tree can effectively stagger him while keeping Clive completely out of harm's way. Balancing aggressive close-range strikes with cautious defensive spacing is the key to victory.
Claiming Your Earned Rewards
Successfully defeating this desert threat yields a collection of valuable crafting resources and character experience points. Defeating the outlaw grants you a piece of rare Scarletite alongside a Meteorite, both of which are critical components for high-level gear upgrades. These items can be taken directly to Blackthorne to forge powerful new equipment for Clive.
Furthermore, completing the hunt board objective automatically rewards you with 2,200 experience points and 70 ability points to further refine your combat build. You will also secure 9,200 Gil and 20 Renown to improve your standing at the patronage counter. Clearing this B-rank threat brings you one step closer to achieving complete mastery over the hunting board.
