It may be just a bird, but don’t let it deceive you. It is a dangerous Notorious Mark since it can summon meteors (Choco Meteor). These fiery falling space rocks come crashing down on you, not to mention that it creates fire rings that grow upon impact.

You’ll be given a hint on where it will hit as it will be marked before hitting the ground. You must either dodge or block it since you can’t escape it.

Another thing worth mentioning is that whenever Dread Comet’s HP is low, the creature can rain down more meteors (Choco Meteorain). Try not to get hit by it since it will chomp off your HP substantially.

This Choco Meteor is challenging, so carrying a heap of recovery items with you is advisable. So stack up on those high potions.

This Notorious Mark does not possess a Will Gauge. This means that attempting to stagger it is useless. Instead, unleash a barrage of attacks since it is easy to flinch.

After successfully defeating the Dread Comet, you will be rewarded with 5,300 EXP, 90 Ability Points, and one Comet Feather. As mentioned, this part of the creature is needed to craft a new Clive belt. You will also be rewarded for completing the hunt. Doing so will get you 30 Renown and 13,000 Gil.

You now know how to beat the Dread Comet in Final Fantasy 16. Now go out there and make a quick work of it.
