Final Fantasy 16: Usher to the Underworld Hunt Location and Rewards (FF16)

As the world slowly falls apart, new monsters have come to terrorize the realm. Such is the case for the Usher to the Underworld, who’s come to Dhalmekia. And the only person who can send it right back into perdition is Clive. Here’s how to find the Usher to the Underworld:

  • Select Southern Dhalmekia on the world map (Kretov).
  • Head towards Titans Wake, north pass.

From Kretov in Southern Dhalmekia, head beneath the Fallen arch and across two bridges. From there, you’ll almost immediately get a cutscene with Thanatos, the Usher to the Underworld. This Rank-A Mark is Level 42 and absolutely adores spamming special moves. Your best bet is to keep it staggered. I find Shiva’s Diamond Dust is exceptionally useful for this.
