How to Beat Svaraog in Final Fantasy 16

Make sure you have Stonesilk Tonics, Hi-potions, and Elixirs equipped for fast access. These three items can be purchased at the merchant in the Hideaway and are the best way to help stay alive longer. It’s also highly recommended to fight the Svaraog Notorious Mark toward the end of the main story when you are high-leveled, as this boss is level 50.

Svaraog will start the battle by shooting off slow-moving fireballs designed to distract you from its fire lasers. I had luck continuously tapping the evade button, allowing me to dodge all the fireballs while also moving out of the way of the dragon’s fire lasers. Svaraog will also use physical attacks, which should be easy to dodge once you get the timing down, so pay close attention and study the enemy’s movements.

Lastly, Flaming Charge will knock off half of your HP — so be on your toes once you notice the dragon starts to charge up for this attack and evade right before it makes contact with the ground.

Beating Svaraog will grant you a hefty reward of 25,000 experience points, 300 AP, 30,000 Gil, 60 Renown, one Fallen Enigma, Amber, Empty Shard, and an Orichalcum.
