Final Fantasy 16 (XVI) All Collectible Locations Guide

This Final Fantasy XVI Collectible Locations Guide shows all collectable items and quests in chronological order including all that are needed for trophies. By following this you will get everything for the Platinum trophy. For trophies you need only 91 Collectibles (22 Curiosities which include the Signboards, 4 Inventory Upgrades, 32 Notorious Marks / Hunt Board Quests, 10 Letters, 16 Patron Items, 7 Chronoliths).

For individual Collectible Pages see these (all of them are included here in an All-in-One format):

• 22 Curiosities Displayed in Clive’s Chambers (Blue) – These DO count towards the 22 for For the Hoard.
• 6 Signboard Curiosities (Blue) – A sub-category of Curiosity. These are 6 of the 22 Curiosities. All needed for And They Opened Up My Mind.
• 4 Upgrade Curiosities (Green) – Increases Inventory Size or Consumable Potency. All needed for With Two Ds.
• 34 Optional Curiosities (Orange) – These DON’T count towards the 22 for  For the Hoard. They AREN’T needed for trophies and can be ignored.
• 32 Notorious Mark / Hunt Board Quests (Red) – Strong monsters, each Notorious Mark completes one Hunt Board quest. All needed for  Hunter, Hunted.
• 48 Letters (Pink) – Found at Reading Table in The Hideaway. Only 10 of 48 needed for The Pen is Mightier.
• 76 Side Quests – All the ones after Main Quest 25: The Dame are needed because they give Renown to buy all Patron Items. The ones prior to Main Quest 25: The Dame don’t give anything trophy-related and can be ignored.
• 16 Patron Items – Reward items from Patron’s Whisper shop in The Hideaway. All needed for  Careful Whisper. Complete all quests and Notorious Marks to get enough Renown.
• 7 Chronolith Trials – Combat Challenges, all needed for a trophy-related Curiosity.
• Accessories – Can be equipped to get passive buffs. Not needed for trophies.
• Weapons – Can be equipped to raise attack and stun. Not needed for trophies (except Gotterdammerung).
• Armor – Can be equipped to raise defense and health. Not needed for trophies.
• Trophies – All Trophies are included

None of the trophy-related Collectibles are missable. There is a Point of No Return in “Main Quest #25: The Dame” but nothing before this point matters for trophies. Everything after this point can still be done after the story in Free-Roam and via Stage Replay. The only technically missable thing is crafting Gotterdammerung if you sell all crafting materials for it. Just don’t sell any materials and you will have enough to craft every item in the game.

Orange Curiosities DON’T count for trophies and can be ignored! Only Blue Curiosities and Green Curiosities are needed. The trophy tracker only counts the 22 that specifically say “displayed in Clive’s Chambers” in their description. You can view those 22 at the Wall of Memories in Clive’s Room, which is unlocked after the Point of No Return. None of the Curiosities before this point count.

You can’t go back in time to Clive’s twenties which was the story so far, but you can still revisit the open areas later. The Hideaway and the side quests there are permanently lost, but the merchant/blacksmith and their inventories move to a new “Hideaway”, so you can still buy/craft anything from them. Only difference is that there’s a time skip and everyone moves to a new Hideaway. You keep everything in your inventory, your level, XP, Gil etc. Nothing you own is lost. It’s best to keep a Manual Save before this point in case you want to go back to this period. In short: just do outstanding side quests, nothing else is lost.
