This second mission could still be considered part of the tutorial, as it teaches players more about combat. This also includes mechanics like Cinematic Evasion and Cinematic Strike, which players will see often during boss fights. This walkthrough will show Final Fantasy 16 players how to complete the main story quest "Lost in a Fog".

Exploring Stillwind

Before going further, it is recommended that players take this time to save their game if they haven't done so already. Proceed along the path to reach a clearing. To advance the story, go left. On the right, players can find two Gil on the ground.
If uncertain how to proceed while exploring, look for two glowing butterflies. This indicates the direction that players should go in.
Go under the tree to trigger a cutscene. After that, players will have to fight off several goblins. There are only three of them, but this is the perfect opportunity for players to make the most of what they learned in the previous quest. Upon defeating the goblins, players will get some Ability Points, Gil, and EXP (short for experience points).
After the battle, go under the broken barricade to proceed further into Stillwind. On the right is a destroyed building that players can enter that contains a Strength Tonic. Just beyond this area, players will encounter more goblins. It is a more extensive group for this encounter, but it is the perfect opportunity for players to get comfortable with the action-focused gameplay. Enemies occasionally drop Gil and other helpful items after being slain, so look around for any loot that might have fallen.

In this courtyard, there is a ruined house that players can enter. In the small side room of this house, there is a Potion. When ready, return to the courtyard. There is a barrier blocking the way forward. Approach the barrier and press 'X' and then 'R2' to destroy it. In the next area, there is another Potion for players to pick up directly ahead of them.
Unlike other Final Fantasy games, players can only hold a handful of consumables at any time. For example, players can only carry four Potions and three High Potions.
Survive the Ambush

After a brief cutscene, players will be entirely surrounded by goblins. After dealing with them, players will encounter the first boss of Final Fantasy 16. This boss is a large goblin known as Gigas. During this time, players will get to practice reducing a foe's Will Gauge. When the Will Gauge on an enemy is entirely empty, they will be staggered and will fall over.
Pursue the Goblin

The leader of the goblins flees after players kill Gigas. Go through the building directly ahead to pursue it. Make sure to grab the High Potion on the shelf directly early. Head into the next room and down toward the water. Go across the rubble of the destroyed building to continue pursuing the goblin. Be ready for a fight, though, as the second boss is ahead.
How to Beat the Morbol

Previously known as a Marlboro in earlier Final Fantasy games, a Morbol is a dangerous enemy due to its Bad Breath attack that can inflict several debuffs onto players at once. Early on in the fight, Clive's party members warn him to stay away from the breath. Listen to this advice. It takes several seconds for the Morbol to use its Bad Breath attack, so make sure to be out of the way when it unleashes the attack.

Like with Gigas, Morbol can be staggered by depleting its Will Gauge. Keep attacking it, and eventually, it will stagger, allowing players to do more damage to it. Around 60% health, the Morbol will disappear. It will reappear a few seconds later and attempt to swallow players. This will trigger what is called a Cinematic Strike.

During a Cinematic Strike, players will be prompted to press 'Square'. Press it before the timer expires to inflict a massive amount of damage and stagger the boss. At 40% health, the Morbol will attempt to swallow players again. This time, players will be introduced to the Cinematic Evasion mechanic. This is similar to the Cinematic Strike, but instead of pressing 'Square,' players will press 'R1' to dodge the incoming attack with some flair.
Final Fantasy 16 releases on June 22nd for the PS5.
