Final Fantasy 15 Guide: How to beat Adamantoise

When it comes to Final Fantasy 15, there is no boss bigger or badder than Adamantoise. Beating Adamantoise is not for the faint of heart, but our guide will make it easier.

When to play each DLC in Final Fantasy 15

Each DLC takes place during a very specific point in the story, but you can choose to play them anytime after that if you'd rather focus on Noctis' main story a bit longer. That said, playing a DLC before it happens in the story will naturally lead to spoilers, especially with the final DLC that will be included in this article.

Each DLC is around 3 or 4 hours long with optional boss battles and time trials after you finish the main story.

When does the episode Gladiolus take place

After the events of Chapter 6, Gladiolus leaves the party and spends most of Chapter 7 away; during that time, the events of Episode Gladiolus take place. You can choose to play this DLC either before or after he rejoins the party, as long as you play it and beat the boss after he leaves the party.

When does the Ignis episode take place

Episode Ignis takes place at the end of ch. 9 after Noctis fights Leviathan and is knocked unconscious. Although he doesn't leave the party the way Gladiolus does, the events of this DLC take place between Chapters 9 and 10, with Noctis waking up long after the events of the DLC end so you can choose to play it at any time after beating Leviathan.

When does the episode take place

The the beginning of the episode Prompto takes place during chapter 12 when Prompto is hit by the train. The events of the DLC continue until halfway through Chapter 13 when he rejoins the group and should be played after he rejoins towards the end of 13.

When does the episode Ardyn take place

The events of this DLC take place many years before the events of the game, but everything about Ardyn is intentionally left a mystery until the end of the game. Its recommended that you beat the game first and learn all the surprises about Ardyn before you learn more about his backstory, because that will spoil some surprises that are often talked about in the DLC.
