Tracking down Notorious Marks in Final Fantasy 16 provides players with an excellent way to earn valuable crafting materials, experience, and renown. Among the B-Rank targets available on the Hunt Board, the Ten of Clubs stands out as a formidable human adversary wielding a heavy axe. Locating and defeating this rogue enforcer requires navigating specific regions of Valisthea and preparing for heavy melee attacks.
Unlocking the Ten of Clubs Hunt
Before players can track down the Ten of Clubs, they must progress through the main storyline until the Hunt Board lists this B-Rank target. The posting describes a ruthless outlaw operating within the Dhalmekian Republic who terrorizes travelers passing through abandoned settlements. Checking Otto's Hunt Board at the Hideaway provides the initial clues needed to begin the search for this target.
Preparing for the encounter involves ensuring Clive is well-equipped with upgraded armor and high-damaging Eikonic abilities. Bringing plenty of potions and defensive gear helps mitigate the heavy physical damage dealt by this opponent. Taking the time to adjust ability loadouts prior to stepping into the arena ensures a smooth combat phase.
Finding the Ten of Clubs Location
To reach the Ten of Clubs, fast travel to the Dravozd obelisk located in the Dhalmekian region. From there, head south towards the abandoned, ruined village known as Vamare. The target waits inside the quiet ruins, ready to attack anyone who enters his domain.
As you approach the center of Vamare, the Ten of Clubs will spawn and initiate combat immediately. The tight spaces of the ruined village require careful positioning during the fight. Staying mobile prevents players from getting cornered against broken walls while dodging heavy attacks.
Defeating the Ten of Clubs in Combat
The Ten of Clubs relies primarily on slow, high-impact axe swings that inflict massive physical damage if connected. His most dangerous technique, Execution, delivers a multi-hit combo that can quickly deplete Clive's health bar. Timing your precision dodges allows you to slip past his broad swings and open up counter-attack opportunities.
Using ranged Eikonic abilities and staggered attacks works exceptionally well against his predictable attack patterns. Maintaining a steady pressure rapidly drains his Stagger gauge, leaving him vulnerable to full Eikonic combos. Once staggered, unleashing high-damage ultimate abilities will resolve the battle swiftly.
Claiming the Hunt Rewards
Defeating the Ten of Clubs yields a generous assortment of rewards that aid in late-game progression. Upon victory, players receive 20 Renown alongside 10,000 Gil to bolster their inventory purchases. These resources make it significantly easier to secure high-tier crafting recipes from vendors.
In addition to currency, the bounty awards valuable crafting materials including one Scarletite and one Meteorite. These rare resources are necessary for forging and upgrading powerful equipment at the Black Hammer forge. Completing this hunt marks another successful step toward mastering all Notorious Marks in Valisthea.
