The Hideaway (Post-Dominion)
FINAL FANTASY XVI guide · After the fall of the Dominion
← All areas in this guide
Following the destruction of the crystalline Dominion and the battle with Bahamut, Clive returns to the Hideaway to regroup with his allies as the world darkens under the Primogenesis sky. This visit serves as a major narrative transition point where players should consult Otto, Vivian, and Harpocrates to process recent events and plan their next moves. Multiple new side quests, Hunt Board marks, and updated merchant inventories become accessible before setting out toward the next destination.
Shops and people
- Charon's Toll: Updated inventory featuring higher-tier crafting materials, accessories, and restorative items suited for mid-to-late game progression
- Black Hammer (Blackthorne): New weapon and armor crafting recipes, including upgrades made possible by the boss materials obtained during the Dominion campaign
- The Hunt Board (Nektar): New elite marks added to the board reflecting the increased monster activity caused by the worsening Blight
Tips
- Speak to Harpocrates to log all the major lore entries unlocked by the events at the Crystalline Dominion to increase your Stonetongue level.
- Check Clive's Reading Table in his chambers for new missives that trigger side quests across the realm before leaving the Hideaway.
