Final Fantasy 16 offers players a more linear world to explore compared to its predecessor. There are many areas players can explore and tons of side content to engage with to give them rewards to make Clive stronger through either new gear pieces or more AP to spend.
One of these activities are Hunts, which are unlocked a bit later in the game, and will have Clive finding and killing Notorious monsters throughout Valisthea. While hunts give you a general area to hunt in, half of the challenge of a hunt is finding your target.
Updated by Joshua Leeds on July 5th, 2023: Hunts are incredibly useful to get more XP, AP, and Gil. As you complete more missions in the main campaign, more hunts will become available, and it's important to know where they all are. Knowing how to properly use your abilities is crucial to any fight, and this article now contains useful combat-related links when necessary.
Where To Find Belphegor
To see Belphegor's information, interact with Nektar the Moogle near the Hunt Board in the Hideaway to see where you're going and what the reward will be.
Belphegor is located in the Broken Hilt region of Rosaria. To get here, travel to Eastpool (specifically the Obelisk within the town of Eastpool). Head south out of the village and towards the wheat field ahead. Stick to the left side of the field and run past the building. There will be a small valley to pass, though, with a few weaker monsters you should take out to charge out more of your Limit Break before proceeding. Past these monsters will be Belphegor in a small clearing overlooking the rest of Rosaria.
How To Defeat Belphegor
Belphegor is a fire-breathing Wyrm that flies around the map and tries to stay out of Clive's reach. Phoenix Shift is your friend in this fight, as it can bring you into the air with the monster or over to where it just landed to interrupt it before it starts shooting fireballs. Of its breath-based attacks, fire breath tends to have a smaller area of effect and can easily be side-stepped to fight it from its side. It can also shoot fireballs in batches of three before it moves to its next attack.
The Gouge ability and Rising Flames are great for breaking its stagger or quickly dealing damage between attacks, respectively. Belphegor will always be moving around, so take advantage of the few seconds it stops to focus on staggering over damage so that it will have to sit still and take the punishment from your other abilities and Limit Break.
Defeating this monster will reward you with 8,000 Gil and 20 Renown.
