Final Fantasy 16 – The Man In Black, Holy Trumpitor Location & How To Defeat It

This guide will walk you through how to find and defeat the mysterious Man in Black or Holy Trumpitour in Final Fantasy 16.

Final Fantasy 16 Notorious Marks advertised in the Hunting Boards aren’t usually easy to spot. They don’t get a map marker, forcing players to rely on an enemy description and vague location indicator. Still, to track down the Man in Black, aka Holy Trumpitour, players must complete a side quest for it to spawn. This guide helps you track down and hunt the Holy Trumpitor in Final Fantasy 16.

This enemy boss fight is reminiscent of the fight against the Imperial Canonnier a few chapters back. They share their appearance and some moves, although not the entire moveset. Still, it’s safe to say that familiarity gives you an upper hand in battle.
