The For The Horde Trophy in Final Fantasy XVI tasks players with collecting all 22 Curiosities across the game. These are important momentos and keepsakes from completing a variety of questlines and other special conditions. In this Final Fantasy XVI Curiosity Location Guide we'll share with you the location of each of the Curiosities and how you can view them all.
What are the Curiosities in Final Fantasy XVI?
To immediately wrap up some conclusion, there are two types of Curiosities in Final Fantasy XVI. If you bring up your pause screen and check the Items section you'll have a sub-heading for Curiosities. The Curiosities in your Items menu will range from Orchestrion Rolls, Seals, Blacksmith Designs, and more. This menu will include the Curiosities we're interested in, but we don't care about all of them. There will be specific Curiosities that you'll be able to view in Clive's room in the Hideaway and it's those that are on display that will count towards the For the Horde Trophy.
Six of these curiosities are Signboards that when collected will earn you the And They Opened Up My Mine Trophy.
