One of Final Fantasy 16’s most popular aspects is its crafting system. However, like all crafting systems, each item requires a crafting material to be made—and that may include Orichalcum. It is a very useful item that’s required mostly to craft weapons and accessories like the Gotterdammerung Sword.
If you’re hunting for some but don’t know where to find them, consider this the perfect place. First, you may want to progress far enough into the story because it is only dropped by a few Notorious Marks classified as S-Rank. There are five Orichalcum pieces in Final Fantasy 16, and you can not acquire more during a playthrough. You can four pieces by defeating the Notorious Marks given below and their corresponding quests. The fifth and the last Orichalcum in FF16 can only be obtained after completing the Under New Management quest.
Atlas Hunt (The Breaker of the World)
The Atlas is located in the eastern corner of the Imperial Province of Rosaria, just across Cressida. You’ll encounter it during the Out of the Shadow quest.
Svarog Hunt (Ruin Reawakened)
The Svarog is located in the southeastern corner of the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, just across Mornebrume. You will find it during the Things Fall Apart quest.
Gorgimera Hunt (The Tricephalic Terror)
The Gorgimera is located in the western portion of the Dhalmekian Republic, just northwest of the Dalimill Inn. You will find it during the Across The Narrow quest.
Behemoth King Hunt (The Masterless Marauder)
The Behemoth King is located in the northern corner of the Kingdom of Waloed, just past Vidargraes. You’ll find it during the After the Battle at Drake’s Spine quest.
