Final Fantasy 16 will task you with undertaking many Notorious Marks. These marks can be chosen from the Hunt Board for you to find, fight and claim your rewards. You will start off with some of the easier B Rank marks available, such as Ten of Clubs, Dozmare and Belphegor.
Then you will progress to some of the harder A Rank marks like Nine of Knives and Prince Flan. If B Rank is proving too tough, you can downgrade to C Rank hunt like Grimalkin or Ahriman until you have some more Experience Points under your belt and more Ability Points to jack up your damage. Once you have dealt with all the A Rank hunts, it will be time to turn your attention to some of the hardest hunts in the game including Svarog.

How To Defeat Knight Of The Splendent Heart
You are going to want to bring your Titan game for this fight. Knight Of The Splendent Heart will rush at you at the end of abilities, and if you can use Precision Block at the point of impact, you can take out a chunk of their health with a follow-up counter-attack. Beams of light will fall from the sky and detonate shortly after hitting the ground. Always be on the move and dodging away from these points of impact. Play this fight extremely defensively, and you will not have any problems. Be sure to get in a lot of heavy-hitting counter-attacks.
