Welcome to the Final Fantasy XVI Chronolith locations guide. This guide will show where to find all 7 Eikon Chronolith trials needed for the Trial Run and For the Hoard trophies.
There are 7 Chronolith trials, 1 for each of the Eikons/elements. Before starting the Chronolith trials, you will want to equip Gotterdammerung, the Ring of Timely Evasion, and the Ring of Timely Strikes (helps maintain combos for bonus time). The Ring of Timely Strikes may be removed for Odin’s Trial by Darkness, but leaving it on may help keep the timer from running out.
Before beginning each trial, make sure you max out all abilities for the given Eikon since you will only be given 2 abilities per stage from that Eikon’s tree. Each trial is made up of 4 stages. The first 3 contain 3 waves of enemies each. The final stage is a mini-boss battle.
The Trial Run trophy will be awarded after defeating the first boss of your first trial. Completing all 7 trials will give you a Curiosity needed for the For the Hoard trophy.
Refer to the Final Fantasy XVI Trophies Guide for details on the other trophies in the game.
