Wings of Change is the 13th main story quest in Final Fantasy 16 (XVI). This walkthrough will guide you through all objectives of the Wings of Change main scenario chapter.
- Starting Location: Caer Norvent Glorieuse Gate
- Requirement: Complete Headwind
- Reward: None
- Quest Info: Clive’s spar with the Dominant of Wind not only ends in victory, but sees him wrest away her Eikon’s very essence and claim it for his own. But before he and Cid can make heads or tails of this curious turn of events, an explosion rocks the caer, prompting a hurried evacuation.
Objectives:
- Head north
- Slay the imperial reinforcements
- Continue north
- Make for the Eye of the Tempest
- Enter the vortex
Head north
At the start of this quest, you’ll be back in the open world area on the north side of Caer Norvent. You now have access to your second Eikon, Garuda, which you can switch around in combat by hitting 
. Garuda’s abilities are very good for more quickly triggering and extending stagger, and are very helpful throughout the game. When you’re ready to progress, follow the objective towards the north side of the area, and feel free to try out your new abilities on any of the enemies you come across.
Slay the imperial reinforcements
Once you reach the bridge your path is blocked by a number of imperial soldiers and a wyvern, allowing more opportunity to use your new abilities. Note that the Eikonic Feat for Garuda allows you to grab and pull red bar enemies, but not yellow bar enemies that can be staggered. For staggerable enemies you can grab them during the mid stagger to extend this, allowing more damage. A good method to use this is to grab to extend the stagger, then immediately use Gouge, as it does lots of will damage, and on some enemies can trigger full stagger before they can stand up.
Continue north
After the group is defeated continue across the bridge.
Make for the Eye of the Tempest
After a number of scenes, you need to make your way towards the large tornado in front of you, towards the area exit marked on the map. In the large field there are a number of Wind Elemental enemies (basically like Chirada) that you can fight for some extra XP and AP, or just ignore and run by.
Enter the Vortex
On the world map, you have this opportunity to head back to the Hideaway to stock up on items if you need, then when you’re ready select The Eye of the Tempest location to continue to the next quest.
