| Description: Word of a Dominant of Fire spotted in a nearby village convinces Clive to set aside any misgivings he might have surrounding Cid and his motives and join the man—though only for as long as his desire for revenge demands it. | |
Fanning Embers starts after unlocking most of the facilities in the Hideaway during the Hide, Hideaway quest. Teleport to Greatwood with Cid and explore the forest in this quest!
| # | Fanning Embers Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1a |
 Follow Cid Follow Cid until you get to an open area. You will encounter several Worgen (wolves) on the way. They look like Torgal but not as friendly as he is! |
| 1b |
 Continue your way deep in the forest with Cid. This time, you'll encounter deadly shrubs called Vampire Thorn in the area. Defeat them and keep them out of the way! |
| 2 |
 Defeat Dragon Aevis A Dragon Aevis will spawn from the sky. It's a bit agile and sturdy compared to your average monster. Kill it to get to the next area. ▶ How to Beat Dragon Aevis |
| 3a |
 Use Animal Instinct to know where to go next. Follow the path until you reach another open area. |
| 3b |
 You will encounter more Worgen and Vampire Thorns on the way. Defeat them and then proceed to the next area. |
| 4 |
 Defeat Fafnir Fafnir will make its entrance once you get to the open, circular ruins. It will launch various jump and dash attacks, so do your best to dodge and counter them! ▶ How to Beat Fafnir |
| 5a |
 Continue your way into the forest After beating Fafnir, continue moving deep into the forest with Cid. You will encounter more of the same mosnters, but this time there will be Hornets flying around the area. |
| 5b |
 Follow the upstream You will eventually reach an area with an upstream. Follow it until you encounter another Dragon Aevis. Defeat it and proceed to the next area. You can loot a chest in the area containing a Meteorite before you go! |
| 6 |

The only thing that stands out on Dragon Aevis is its speed. You can perform basic combos, dodges, and counters to beat it. It's also possible to parry its attacks, but it will be hard to pull off as Dragon Aevis is fast.
Midnight Raven can relentlessly attack you. Try to dodge and counter, so you can get a quick, easy hit rather than brute forcing your way to deal damage. Rinse and repeat until he's down!
Cinematic Clashes are Quick Time Events where you have to spam a button until you win a clash. Spam the attack button during these situations to get the advantage or even win the battle.

Fafnir's attacks are not a single swing move unlike any normal monsters. Try to be patient and wait for Fafnir to finish attacking before you strike!
Fafnir has a spinning move called Spin Cycle that lets it mow everyone on its path. Dodge sideways to avoid getting hit by this attack! Also, note that it will launch itself onto you once it's done spinning, so don't let your guard down and keep moving!
Despite Fafnir's large body structure, it's still quick on its feet. Keep your distance for the most part and try not to dive in recklessly to avoid getting hit and dying.
