Electrum is a crafting material in Final Fantasy 16 used to create a Drakeslayer's Belt obtained from the 'Blacksmith's Blues' side quest.

The Drakeslayer's Belt is a good option to equip during the midgame, so to help you raise Clive's stats we've quickly detailed the Electrum location in Final Fantasy 16 below, along with some other handy tips and Drakeslayer's Belt details.

Electrum location in Final Fantasy 16

Electrum is located during the Severian Hunt in Final Fantasy 16. You get Electrum as part of the spoils for defeating this B Rank monster, as well as:

70 Ability Points
20 Renown
800 XP
8,500 Gil

Severian is found west of Martha's Rest in the Rosaria region, just north of Sorrowise. You must complete 'Fire and Ice' before Severian spawns on the map, meaning you unfortunately can't get Electrum right after receiving the Drakeslayer's Belt blueprint - but its still a good belt to equip when you can make it!

Here's a map picture of Severian's exact location:

The Severian Hunt is unlocked after the 'Fire and Ice' main quest, so you'll see it on your Hunt Board from 'After the Storm' and onwards.

Tips for beating Severian

Severian is a Level 31, B Rank Notorious Mark and its lunging and projectile attacks can take off over half of Clive's health bar, so you'll want to make liberal use of dodging! The Berserker Ring you get from Renown rewards is a great accessory to equip during the fight, as it boosts Clive's attack for a short while after performing a Precision Dodge.

This is a deadly one-hit attack from Severian.

Having a full Limit Break bar and a full pouch of Potions and High Potions also helps a lot. A good trick to get free health potions is to start the fight then purposefully get killed by Severian straight away. Clive will then respawn close by with his potion pouches fully restocked.

We recommend using the Garuda abilities Wind Blast and Gouge to lower Severian's stagger bar. Ramuh's Thunderstorm and the Phoenix's Fire Blast are also great abilities for damaging Severian while helping to lower its stagger bar.

Wind Blast is one of the best abilities for consistent stagger damage.

Once Severian is downed, activate Clive's Limit Break and unleash all of your most powerful abilities to cause as much damage as possible.

Remember, you can also command Torgal to attack Severian or heal Clive during the battle.
