Final Fantasy 16 Guide – All Belts and How to Get Them

All the known belts and where you can procure them in Final Fantasy 16.

There are seventeen belts to be discovered, purchased, crafted, or upgraded in Final Fantasy 16 over the course of the story, through either the main questline or various side quests. While none of the belts are missable, it should be noted that there is a point-of-no-return during the main quest “The Crystal’s Curse”. Even so, these belts can still be acquired post-completion of the campaign using Stage Replay or free roam. This FF XVI guide lists all known belts and where they can be found.

Dark Sash

An otherworldly luster complements the silky-smooth texture of this sash—a sash dyed a black so deep, it might drive a man to madness, if not render him slightly more inconspicuous in a darkened room.

  • Base Defense: 30
  • Base Health: 0

Buy from the vendor Charon at her shop Charon’s Toll in Cid’s Hideaway.

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Demontamer’s Sash

While slaying a demon merely returns its soul to the hell whence it came, until such time as it is resummoned to inhabit a new host, taming a demon is a much more effective means of dampening its evil influence on the corporeal plane. By luring and trapping the undying spirit of hellspawn into accoutrements worn on one’s person, one might also harness their power and channel a portion of it as one’s own.

  • Base Defense: 48
  • Base Health: 14

In a chest in the northwest of Royal Meadows in Sanbreque.

Drakeslayer’s Belt

  • Base Defense: 74
  • Base Health: 23

“Blacksmith’s Blues IV” side quest

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Goldwork Sash

While it is the rarity and luster of gold that make it the standard of wealth in the realm, the alchemist covets it for a lesser-known third quality—aetherial conductivity. Unlike most metals, gold has the innate ability to channel aether and even amplify its effects, making it invaluable for those who wish to extract the full potential from a crystal or Bearer.

  • Base Defense: 36
  • Base Health: 6

Buy from the vendor Charon at her shop Charon’s Toll in Cid’s Hideaway.

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Hunter’s Waistcloth

It is documented there were once as many as five nomadic tribes that hunted the arid plains of Dhalmekia. The spread of the Blight having robbed them of both land and prey, many begrudgingly abandoned their wanderlust in exchange for the safety of city walls.

  • Base Defense: 55
  • Base Health: 13

Buy from the vendor Charon at her shop Charon’s Toll in Cid’s Hideaway.

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Imperial Infantry Belt

A crude strip of leather fitted with a pocked iron buckle, this belt is provisioned to Bearers of the Sanbrequois imperial army with the understanding that it will be lost when the poor lad eventually falls to an enemy blade.

  • Base Defense: 15
  • Base Health: 0

Default belt for adult Clive.

Iron Belt

More leather than iron, it is nonetheless considered an improvement from the crude cording worn by acremen and acolytes.

  • Base Defense: 20
  • Base Health: 0

Buy from the vendor Charon at her shop Charon’s Toll in Cid’s Hideaway.

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Mythril Belt

Even rarer than platinum, mythril is highly sought after by both engineer and general alike, its aetherial conductivity a boon to the former, its feather-like weight a boon to the latter.

  • Base Defense: 64
  • Base Health: 20

In a chest in the ruins of Ceratina in the northwest of The Velkroy Desert in The Dhalmekian Republic.

Ouroboros

  • Base Defense: 95
  • Base Health: 32

“Blacksmith’s Blues III” side quest

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Platinum Belt

While copper, iron, even gold mines are plentiful in the Twins, there is only one location where white gold has ever been found—southwestern Ash. As such, the Kingdom of Waloed controls the realm’s sole supply of the rare and highly sought-after metal, with proceeds from its exports funding the nation’s military incursions into Storm.

  • Base Defense: 50
  • Base Health: 0

Buy from the vendor Charon at her shop Charon’s Toll in Cid’s Hideaway.

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Regal Sash

Among the citizenry of Dhalmekia there are those who hearken after the heady days of yore, when the realm was as yet divided into its constituent kingdoms—an age of glorious rulers in golden towers, before all was usurped by the bean-counting bureaucrats who now rule over the republic. Though little but legend may remain of these kingdoms, those who find themselves dispossessed and disempowered in the present draw strength from their imagined past.

  • Base Defense: 84
  • Base Health: 25

In a chest in the south of Krozjit Echoes in The Dhalmekian Republic.

Rosarian Belt

Designed more for keeping one’s trousers in place than stopping the head of an axe, those expecting any discernible protection from this basic accessory will be sorely disappointed.

  • Base Defense: 10
  • Base Health: 0

Default belt for young Clive.

Rune Belt

  • Base Defense: 75
  • Base Health: 20

Buy from the vendor Charon at her shop Charon’s Toll in Cid’s Hideaway.

Craft and reinforce with the blacksmith Blackthorne at his forge The Black Hammer in Cid’s Hideaway.

Silken Sash

Centuries ago, the farmers of Kanver discovered that the silk produced by the pestilent “crawlers’ that plagued their fields could be harvested and woven into fine thread. Not long after, the Free Cities became home to the realm’s finest magnaneries, quickly transforming into one of the richest trading ports on Storm.

  • Base Defense: 66
  • Base Health: 0

Wolfskin Sash

Offering at least something in the way of the warmth, camouflage, and protection that it did the wolf that once wore it.

  • Base Defense: 25
  • Base Health: 0

And that is all known belts in Final Fantasy XVI. Collecting them all yields no trophies or achievements.
