FF 16 Never Coming Down Trophy - Rook's Gambit Garuda Ability

Locate a large/tall enemy with ample health and perform a combo starting with jump (X) and Wicked Wheel which contains Gouge and Rook’s Gambit. If performed on a large enemy, you won’t need to worry about them dropping back to the ground, since you should be able to hit them while you are in the air and they are not.

If you fully upgrade Rook’s Gambit and equip it on Square for the Eikon after Garuda, the aerial combo is executed by doing the following:

  1. X: Jump
  2. R2 + Triangle: Wicked Wheel to gain extra height
  3. R2 + Square: Gouge
  4. L2: Change Eikons
  5. R2 + Square: Rook’s Gambit
