Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, and as you’d expect, it includes some new gear, including the best weapons in the game thus far. One of these is the Tonberry Knife, which isn’t the most powerful in the game in terms of raw damage, but is the most best in terms of inflicting “Will” or stagger damage. For those familiar with FF16’s combat system, staggering enemies frequently is arguably more important than just dealing raw damage, so you’re going to want to get your hands on the Tonberry Knife. Here’s how to do so…
First off, you’re going to want to re-open the blacksmith in Haven, the main town in the new The Rising Tide region of Mysidia (here’s how to do that).
You’re going to need the following crafting materials to make the Tonberry Knife – 1 Notched Tang, 1 Aqueous Membrane, 3 Orichalcum, and 2 Fool’s Gold.
To get this item, you’ll need to complete the “Reign of Pain” sidequest. You’ll need to have first completed the “What Ails You” and “Uninvited Guest” quests in order to access this one. Speak to Fanet in Haven to quick this quest off.
Head out the Haven south gate and fight through the Tonberry Creepers along your path. Around half-way through the southern path, you’ll come to a particularly large group of enemies near a cave. Finish them off, then head in the cave and take on the Tonberry King. He’ll drop the Notched Fang when defeated.
To get this item, you’ll need to complete the “Lost in the Woods” sidequest. You’ll need to have finished The Rising Tide’s main campaign to access this quest. Talk to the young boy Ayrik in Haven to get started.
Head north of Haven, to the Riversmeet Obelisk. There’s a hunter nearby you should talk to. You’ll have a miniboss fight against an Archelon at this point.
Keep heading down the path to the north, until you come to the watery Sunken Ruins area. There you’ll face Thalaos. Defeat them to get the Aqueous Membrane.
One piece is obtained by defeating boss Master Tonberry during The Rising Tide’s main campaign. The second is found in a chest in the Father’s Fell area of Mysidia. This area is fairly easy to find, just head north from Haven and then east at the first opportunity. When the path branches, take the right path. The chest is nestled in amongst the edge of the forest and slightly easy to miss, but you should be able to locate it with a bit of persistence.
All that’s left is the Orichalcum, which is a fairly common reward for high-level quests, so you will likely have enough already.
And there you go! The Tonberry Knife should now be yours!

Microsoft has announced an Xbox Games Showcase and a “Redacted” Direct for June.
For all long as the Fallout franchise has been around, it has never been set outside of the United States. Of course, its over-the-top, retro-futuristic Americana satirization is a core aspect of what makes Fallout, Fallout, but on new few occasions, large chunks of the series’ fanbase have wondered how locations outside of the US are faring in Fallout’s post-apocalyptic setting, and whether they could fare as suitable settings for a future Fallout game.
The first episode of Paramount’s Knuckles TV show has been made available for free on YouTube.
The next project from the Final Fantasy XVI developer, Square Enix's CBU 3, will likely be more lighthearted, as Yoshi-P seems to be done with dark fantasy for the time being.
The Rising Tide is the second and final expansion for Final Fantasy 16, adding another worthwhile chapter to the tale of Clive Rosfield. Only accessible near the very end of the base game, this DLC is designed to be something of a sendoff for the action RPG, providing a new storyline that brings additional weight to the title's world building, while also giving players an opportunity to dive yet deeper into 16's slick combat system.
Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, and one of the big advertised features was the addition of the water-themed Leviathan Ikon, but it turns out there’s actually a second new Eikon and set of moves included in The Rising Tide – Ultima.

Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, which introduces the new region Mysidia. At the center of this region is the town of Haven, but when you first arrive there, it’s kind of useless. There’s no shop, no blacksmith’s foundry. Thankfully, by completing certain sidequests, you can unlock the blacksmith and shop in Haven, and you’ll want to do that, as they offer some of the best gear and craftable weapons in the game. Here’s how to do so…
's second DLC,, adds a whole new region to its map — but in terms of size, that could mean many different things. Although it has a pretty sizable world map, is not an open-world game. Each region varies in size, and is connected to the next one only in limited, specified areas, and players can't travel to most of them until they unlock new areas through the story. Despite this linearity, most map regions open up completely as soon as they're unlocked, providing plenty of opportunity for exploration.
The Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail benchmark is here, giving MMO fans a glimpse into what their characters will look like after the graphical update in patch 7.0. While plenty are rather pleased about their Warrior of Lights glow-ups, some have been left looking worse for wear.
Final Fantasy XVI: The Rising Tide story expansion is out now, and unlike the game’s first DLC, Echoes of the Fallen, this one adds the all-new region of Mysidia to explore. That’s great, but as you’re exploring you may notice something – you can’t ride your trusty Chocobo steed Ambrosia! Is it just not an option in this DLC? Don't worry, you can ride your Chocobo, but you have to complete some tasks before you’re able to do so. Here’s what you have to do…
Final Fantasy XVI is no small game, but for those who want more, Square Enix has also rolled out a pair of story expansions for the RPG – last year’s Echoes of the Fallen, and the just-released The Rising Tide.

Also, how leveled up should your party be before you take on this new challenge? Don’t worry, we have the answers for you…
