Tips and Strategies

This is a list of important things to do in the quest The Hand of the King. Read on to find out which of them is crucial to proceeding.

  • Ignis suffered injuries to his eye during the last battle. It would be good for the party to proceed at a slower pace
  • However, being blind doesn't hamper him at the slightest, as the battle with the Malboro introduces a new, better Libra attack. Use it in future battles.
  • Proceeding at a slower pace also makes sure that Noct has all the help he can get against enemies.
