Final Fantasy XV: Top 5 Hidden Features (FFXV)

[@lilceser11]

Chocobos can swim! 40 hours into the game and I just found that out. Now I use them all the time to cut across lakes.

[@claudiosousa9592]

40 hours? i found that around 240 hours into the game

[@Laenthor]

Oh wait they can? Noctis can fall in water while fighting the leviathan too, so why can't I enter more than 3ft of water?

[@alexism9656]

There are about 3 hidden fishing spots in the Vesper pool, but I think you found that out already

[@HIGHDRONER]

Cesar P too bad you can't use the chocobos to provoke the cateblopas.

[@RealIronyIsGood]

Yeah it'd be much easier to far the cateblopas briscuit then.

[@kendalldolese1103]

It's crazy this guy knows these secrets, yet doesn't know the "secret" boost you get from releasing the sprint button right before your stamina runs out.

[@edepot]

Look here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipyUi4KOZ6-do68

[@RanaraGaming]

Kendall Dolese xi knew about it but I could never get it to proqe when I actually needed it because I didn't know how to use it

[@VileFGC]

Thechristianlim yeah it's pretty tricky at first

[@seraphs5549]

you obviously where not paying attention

[@VileFGC]

seraphs who

[@stealthyshibe4904]

To all those people who are hating the new ring upgrade: The actual power of the Ring of the Lucii is extremely great. And it should be just like that in the game. Weakening it's strength will be unrealistic. Also if you hate "one hit kills" better don't use it at all. Whoever wants to use it is free to use it; and whoever doesn't also according to their wish may not.

[@ilegendarygam3ri713]

Weirdo

[@stealthyshibe4904]

I LegendaryGam3r I uh....yeah?

[@GordieKat]

The Best Weirdo ME Agreed. I was so hyped to get it in the game after watching Kingsglaive, and was so disappointed with it when I got it. But after the update, it feels like I actually command that kind of power! Today I used it to kill the Adamantoise. I didn't use Alterna because I assumed it wouldn't work, I literally just sucked him into nothingness. It was very trippy.

[@WhiskeyTango76s]

Yeah they actually made it better by making it stronger, it fits the story pretty well. At first I thought powering it up was stupid but once I finally played it again I changed my mind, it's not like you have to use it anyways and the game is already easy, the ring doesn't make that much of a difference

[@markoabi8822]

The Best Weirdo ME to be fair I think you're right but there should be some opponents that can withstand the ring though

[@Zeemas]

Dropping on the roof is not a "feature"

[@EternallyFrost]

Zeemas and the alterna spell isn’t a secret either

[@dragonkai31]

On one of the arches there's a moogle charm and if you hold square right before you hit the floor while falling you will do a cartwheel and avoid the drop damage

[@edepot]

Thanks for the tip!

I only didn't try alternative because it doesn't even normally work on weak enemies

[@fiz4438]

The rings alt works on any enemies its just a 50/50 chance on bigger guys

[@GordieKat]

The climbing on arches must have been added. I DISTINCTLY remember trying to do it and being disappointed it wasn't possible.

[@daniellejones7887]

It was always possible just easier with a chocobo lol

[@akimboletsgo5424]

its great that they make arches climbable, but i dont understand why there has tobe an invinsible barrier for the rest of the map, i mean can u just put a biggass lv140 monster in the middle of nowhere? its more fun. stacking trees and make an accessible forest makes a great view, riding choccobo in the middle of a forest is a nice change of pace from driving or flying around in a car

[@denzelstewart117]

You can use the mp3 player whilst on the back of the chocobo

[@akimboletsgo5424]

HicksZ34 true that, its either u plan your trip or spend 10 years in that boring loading screen

[@Astraeus..]

Yep, things used to be a whole lot simpler back in the good old days. Going to the edge of the map just popped you back to the opposite edge of the map, like circling the world! Of course it DID make the world seem rather tiny, but what the hell, at least it wasn't a world of invisible walls eh!

[@rileymiller3154]

@@Astraeus.. the game if the developers decided to remove the walls and instead cause the game to spawn level 999 enemies after crossing the map boarder Players "oh crap where's the undo button for that request to remove the invisible walls!"

pressing square when falling will save you from damage lol i really needed to comment this after seeing him fall countless times taking damage :

[@edepot]

It doesn't work unfortunately. At that height you still take damage

[@Datavonix]

@@edepot wrong. any height will negate fall damage.

[@suprqt]

I love this game, but the story is VERY lacking.

[@RegnorakFR]

lol i see what you did there xD

[@cyb0rglegend36]

XxbiohazardxX223 I agree but I would say the lore over the story

[@aurelianosupay3563]

True but if you watch the movie "FF15 kingsglaive" everything makes sense. I would recoment to new players to first watch the movie then play teh game.

[@zaizen4359]

I disagree. I watched the movie before I played the game and it barely made any sense, especially the beginning. Honestly I think people who've played the game first will understand FFXV: Kingsglaive better, just because the pacing of the movie isn't the best.....either that or plan to watch Kingsglaive twice, before and after playing the game. FFXV's story isn't the worst, but it could have been better paced and fleshed out.

[@tericotomoso7681]

I actually kind of enjoyed the sped-up version of the Taka's Pit Stop music.

Terico Tomoso i’m glad that wasn’t just me

[@xenov4480]

You can use alterna on Gladio during training too lol

[@jimmysnyder4853]

it's like 1000000000 times easier to climb Arches with a Choccobo

[@edepot]

1000 times easier to fall off? Or does it prevent falling off?

[@Tunercraze]

Jimmy Snyder FACT!

[@leonard9624]

You dont die too when you jump off arches if you are riding a chocobo

[@forrestcarlton3065]

10:19 - My chubby little brother's reaction when he is offered cake at my birthday party

[@rileymiller3154]

Ya know the Alterna spell magic is kinda like a more powerful version of the Ultima spell magic from other games in the series

[@Dsrgreyy]

I’m sure everyone here knows by now already but for those that don’t you can double up on all the items when you new game plus. Even ultima weapon which also boosts magic a lot .

[@m33s18]

Climbing arches is even more fun with chocobo's; then you can fly off them!

[@nekalsummerz1291]

Is it wrong that #1 makes me salty because I actually fought that thing for 1hr 30min straight?

[@nightfallalicorn4246]

Same time it took me. Also, no. Some players rather use over powered stuff and some do the honest way. For me, honest way first.

[@VileFGC]

I'm loving that adamantoise camera angle

[@bluefurcommando6481]

Did you know that you can conserve stamina by pressing L3 or the sprint button right before you lose stamina to gain it again.

[@MyNameJefff]

Did you not know that if you hold down the sprint button (your Attack button and not the left stick) and let go right before it is completely drained, it replenished the entire gauge and you can keep going as long you continue using that trick

[@PitFrag9803]

Everyone her Is all "omg I spent so long fighting it and you can one shot it?" I spent maybe 15 minutes on it. I planned to spend hours but I used the ring of the lucii and was downing elixers to use life drain. It just kinda died at half health so yeah. Also yes I timed it because my magitec exosuit was only half drained

[@ShintaTakama]

Climbing arches is my favorite pasttime. If you do it right, you can ride your chocobo up there as well.

[@Haruka_Morokami]

The best hidden feature is the last moment dodge you can do when falling from high places.

9:50 Mr.Noct... i don't feel so good... -Adamantiose 2017

[@kanetidus]

Wow, the Ring of Lucii really can instant KO now?

[@DeadEyeDay]

I think the stamina bar is more hidden then the things you showed here

[@ademdingin]

press square just before landed to avoid damage when drop

[@lovegrellful]

I knew about climbing the arches. I get on there as a shortcut to get to places. Even at night so I wont encounter a lot of daemons.

[@mariaiacopelli7196]

for running right before the green bar is gone just let go of run then hit it again and it will fill the gauge right back up to full and u can run forever by doing this

[@edepot]

Yes, that is shown later in the arches section in the video. For the stamina tricks, here is the previous video on this topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipyUi4KOZ6-do68

[@lucidsin]

yeah should show the new player that video,how hard we fight for

[@besterw]

Kokufu TPK well I think this is a mistake. they made the ring better but did not realize it would one shot adamantose and the machine that gives out magitec suits

[@DrMundo92]

they knew they kind of annouced it

[@uex6317]

A true gamer would still fight the adamantoise regardless of the ring. Be proud that you were one of the first that actually fought the thing to the bitter end.

[@Steviofo]

one shoting adamantoise............why

[@malicewithalice]

Extremely rare chance. It still took me an hour to be it even with the ring changes.

[@Steviofo]

STILL

[@Sonicshot101]

Well... if you don't wanna one shot it, then don't. You aren't forced to do it. Besides, the chances of one shotting it is extremely rare.

Thank you for your help I could not beat the adamantoise but I just done it the way you said so thank you very much

[@vy2sora683]

The background song is actually good when you make it fast

[@DemonX217]

I hope next time they allow us to stand on monsters instead of falling everytime when we are on top of them

[@edepot]

This is a very interesting idea, but how would the monster get to you unless they add animations of their arms and hand swapping you from their heads

[@DemonX217]

***** take adamantoise for example, when we ariel attack his moving head, sometimes we end up on above it but we can't seem to stand on it

[@Dante_Padgett]

I tried using the alterna spell on the turtle but it kept missing. idk if I was doing it wrong. I was able to cast death on it, half way through it's health bar it just died.

[@edepot]

They updated the chance of 1-hit so that it doesn't work all the time

[@summonerron88]

3 and 2 weren't such a secret for me, that was the first thing I did when I saw the arches, I tried to climb them and found out it was possible.

[@HIGHDRONER]

That sprint boost thing you did there is another hidden feature. And yeah, as long as you don't bring adamantoise down you can use 'Alterna' I thought it was Athena but whatever

[@exxhiiheiirarchy5860]

I use Alterna to 1-Hit kill almost everything lol

[@edepot]

What have you tried it on that worked?

[@exxhiiheiirarchy5860]

***** Depending on how strong you are and your magic. It works on all enemies

[@-_marvin_-]

The last one seemes quite useful. What is R1 + trianhle button on a PC? I'd totally love a correct answer to that question! ❤🤸‍♂️❤

[@BegitoBuru]

Havent been able to try it yet, but does the one hit kill on the adamantoise work regardless of level or do u need to be leveled quite a bit? Noctis for me is level 65 right now

[@edepot]

I think it works regardless of level. By the time you get the Alterna spell, you have already gotten close to the end of the game and it wouldn't ruin the game after you use Umbra to travel back into past Lucis. Otherwise, you can try this long method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6Ordaevl8eIarM

[@BegitoBuru]

I thought it depended on what level you were in contrast to the enemies, like if the enemy was level 56 but you were level 60 then it would potentially work but idk for sure

[@BegitoBuru]

Melyssa Layrensia i though it depended on the level you were and the level of the enemies, like if your a higher level then it has a higher chance of K-O-ing the enemy but idk for sure

@@edepot oh that makes sense. Lol Thanks brother!

[@shoshitaketakeyani3275]

It's really cool watching the tortoise shrink into oblivion

[@ObeyCamp]

Here's a really good one that I saw you use several times, but didn't cover in the video: How to sprint MUCH farther. At very least 100% farther than your stamina bar currently allows. (Note: I'm not sure if this is a feature of upgraded stamina, but I suspect it is. Also, it's going to be necessary to enable the stamina bar from the settings menu,, for anyone who has it disabled.) Step 1) Use the manual sprint button to make Noctis sprint (i.e. don't use auto-sprint.) Step 2) Pay attention to your stamina bar and run Noctis' stamina down. 3) Release the manual sprint button just before the stamina bar runs out and then immediately press it down again. If you released the sprint button at just the right instant Noctis will flash green and his stamina bar will refill completely and immediately, no cool down or refill delay, and he'll continue sprinting. Try it! It works! The timing is pretty fickle so if you don't get it the first try just keep working on the timing. Don't let your stamina run all the way down, but don't let up too early either. That balance in your timing is key. I think there are some other factors that go into whether or not this trick will work, but I don't know for sure. For instance, if you stop sprinting with like 1/10th of your stamina left, and then start sprinting again and try this trick when the bar runs down, it doesn't seem to always work. It seems to prefer you start with a large portion of your stamina.
