FFXVI Pandemonium Hunt Guide: Location, Strategy, etc

Pandemonium is a Rank S Hunt (Notorious Mark), whose location is offically listed as, "???". You'll need to be at main scenario quest Footfalls In Ash to unlock it.

Pandemonium Location

Where is Pandemonium located? Teleport to The Shadow Coast waypoint in Waloed. He's right in the first "village" (Wolfdarr on your map). He's in the western side, with the open space. Once you approach the gate, Pandemonium emerges.

Beating Pandemonium

You've fought a couple of these "fatty shaman" types before, and Pandemonium shares those skills.

Sanguine Rite: A slowly descending meteor on your location. Get out. Later on, spawns in multiples.

Teleports OFTEN. Follows up with either fireballs or mace smashes.

Has a landmine + homing fireball combo.

Rictus of Horror - Pandemoniums ultimate skill. A giga laser that does a truly horrifying amount of damage. He later combines this with a "fakeout", teleporting right before the laser to throw off your timing and view.

Ultimately not too hard. Rictus of Horros is the ONLY thing you should worry about - don't get cocky with it. Everything else isn't so bad.
