Final Fantasy XVI Packing Heat
This Final Fantasy XVI trophy is a bit tricky to earn and you should work on it when you only have Torgal in your party. First, purchase the Heatwave ability from the Phoenix tree and assign it on the Gear & Eikons menu. The ability becomes available after the main quest, A Chance Encounter.
Next, locate a pack of enemies with ranged attacks (Death Blossoms or Vultures work well). There is a pair of Death Blossoms just south of the bridge you repair to reach Eastpool. Take the Eastpool Obelisk to reach them.
During the fight, keep your distance from the enemies and spam D-Pad Right to prevent Torgal from attacking them. You may need to get their attention if they are focused on Torgal. When the enemies fire a ranged attack, hold R2 and press the button you assigned Heatwave to. The ability needs to be executed when the projectile is close to you, but not close enough that the combo will result in a dodge. Complete 2 successful Heatwave Counters during a single battle (“Heatwave Counter” will display in the combat text on the right), and the trophy will unlock.
