This fresh content includes Leviathan as a new Eikon for Clive to encounter, making it essential for completionists looking to experience all the game has to offer. If you’re unsure how to start The Rising Tide DLC, we’ve got you covered below.
How to start The Rising Tide DLC in Final Fantasy 16
To access The Rising Tide DLC in Final Fantasy 16, you first need to purchase and download the content. You can acquire The Rising Tide as standalone DLC for $15 or as part of the Expansion Pass, which includes the Echoes of the Fallen DLC, for $25.
Once you’ve purchased and downloaded the DLC, there are additional steps before diving into the new content in The Rising Tide. You must have unlocked Origin as a destination on the world map, which requires reaching the end of the main campaign. You also need to complete two sidequests, “Where There’s a Will” and “Priceless,” for Joshua and Jill, respectively. After finishing these quests, visit Clive’s quarters at the Hideaway and check the missives table to find an unmarked letter that initiates the new quest “The Rising Tide.”
