Final Fantasy 16 Hunts, also known as Bounties, are picked up from the Hunt Board at the Hideaway, and each one pits Clive against a unique 'Notorious Mark' who tend to be tougher than the usual types of mini-bosses.

The hardest of these are S Rank Hunts, and they're also the trickiest to find, as each Hunt in Final Fantasy 16 isn't pinned to the map. Instead, you have to work out where they are with the clues provided on the board, and some of them are incredibly vague.

To save you time, we've listed all Hunt locations in Final Fantasy 16 below, including how to unlock the Hunt Board, and what Hunt rewards you get for slaying each Mark.

Final Fantasy 16 Hunts explained

Hunts have appeared in many Final Fantasy games over the years with slightly different mechanics each time, but the core objective stays the same: get a bounty and go slay it for rewards.

Seems simple enough, but in Final Fantasy 16 you have to actually work out where a Hunt target is located, as their positions aren't pinned to the map. This can be as easy as looking at the 'Location' description of a target on the Hunt Board, or as hard as trying to work out what province you should even be looking for it in.

There is also no way to pin a Hunt to your quest list, so we recommend taking a screenshot or a picture of each bounty description to refer back to, instead of having to return to the Hunt Board every time.

Each Hunt - also referred to as a bounty or 'Notorious Mark' - is assigned a grade: C, B, A, or S. The easiest to locate and battle are C Rank targets, and the toughest are given an S Rank. S Rank Hunts are far harder than even the A Ranks, so it's best to leave them until near the end of the game, or when you're at a similar Level to them, or higher.

The spoils for defeating each individual Hunt are different, but you'll always be rewarded EXP, Ability Points, Gil, and Renown for slaying a Notorious Mark, and the higher the Hunt rank, the more you get.

If you want to start taking on Hunts, you'll have to visit the Hunt Board first, but it isn't available at the start of the game.

How to unlock Hunt Board in Final Fantasy 16

You have to wait a while to start doing Hunts in Final Fantasy 16, as the Hunt Board only unlocks during 'The Gathering Storm' main quest. You'll come across your first Notorious Mark, Ahriman, while on this quest. Fighting it here is optional, but we recommend killing Ahriman while on the quest to save some time later.

When you return to the Hideaway during 'The Gathering Storm', a few new features will be available, including the Hunt Board, which is located next to Nektar the Moogle. To unlock more bounties on the Hunt Board, you'll have to progress with the story. Keep a look out for the yellow marker on the Hunt Board symbol, as this tells you when new targets are available.

Additionally, some Hunts only appear on the Hunt Board if you have started the required side quest. We've detailed what these side quests are below, along with every other Hunt location.

Final Fantasy 16 Hunt locations

There are 32 Hunts in Final Fantasy 16, and you get the 'Hunter, Hunted' Trophy for slaying each of their Notorious Marks. These monsters also drop useful crafting materials needed for some of the best gear in the game.

Below, in addition to their locations with a map picture, we've also detailed when the Hunts appear on the Hunt Board, and what rewards you get for slaying each bounty.

In the same order you unlock them, here's all Hunt locations in Final Fantasy 16:
