How to get Electrum in Final Fantasy 16

To get an Electrum in Final Fantasy 16, you’ll need to defeat Severian, who is one of the Notorious Marks that you’ll find on the Hunt Board in Cid’s Hideaway.

Before you can take on this Hunt Battle, however, you’ll need to complete the campaign mission ‘Fire and Ice’, and once you’ve done this, the Severian hunt will become available. This particular hunt is a B-rank battle where the enemy is level 31, so make sure you’re around the same level before taking on the challenge.

You’ll find Severian to the north of Sorrowrise in Rosaria, the fastest way to get there is by doing the following:

  • Fast travel to Matha’s Rest.
  • Head towards the wooden elevator and activate it.
  • Once you step off the elevator, take the first right.
  • Continue following the path North.
  • You’ll eventually find Severian just to the side of the path.

Once Severian detects you, the monster will spring to life and the battle will begin. Make sure you’ve got plenty of potions on hand, and have maxed out your ability points before the fight begins.

Upon defeating Severian, you’ll be rewarded with some spoils including the Electrum, which can then be used to craft the Drakeslayer’s Belt.
