Chronolith Trials - Locations and Rewards
Chronolith Trials in Final Fantasy 16 require you to fight through multiple waves of enemies and defeat them all within the time limit using one single Eikon to complete the trial and earn rewards. Additional time can be earned by successfully landing the battle techniques listed in each respective trial. Find every Chronolith Trial location with this guide.
Each Chronolith Trial will unlock as you get the Eikon in the main story - see our FF16 Walkthrough for more information.
Chronolith Trial Rewards
Completing a trial will reward you with an accessory that increases the damage of that Eikon's "ultimate" ability.
