Chapter 9 - Callings | Main storyline Final Fantasy XV Guide
Last update: 13 December 2016
Noctis and the gang head towards the city of Altissia to meet with Lunafreya. New challenges await for the prince here, one of them key for the boy to become a true king - harnessing the power of the mighty Leviathan.
Altissia, City on the Sea
Recommended level: 29
Client: Weskham
Exp: 2000
There's going to be a long sequence here, with the team swimming towards the new city. Once on the land, head towards the queue and speak with the guard. The guard will ask for the purpose of the visit - ask Ignis to take care of the problem. This will allow you to pass through the check without paying a bribe (-3000 Gil).
Head towards the marker. You will arrive near a gondola. Select "Floating Market Station - Maagho" as your destination. Head into the bar, speak with the bartender and then with Camelia.
The Summit
Recommended level: 30
Client: Camelia
Exp: 1000
Approach the gondola, select "The Leville Station" and enter the hotel building. A conversation with Gentiana will unlock a new gameplay mechanic. You can now rest and call Umbra, allowing you to return to Lucis whenever you feel like. You can now explore the city if you want to.
There's a weapon vendor near the hotel. There you will be able to purchase a very good Blood Sword (drains life and heals the character), as well as Thunderbolt and Flame Gun - powerful weapons dealing elemental damage. Afterwards, use a gondola to get to "Ministerial Quarter Station" and head for the negotiations.
Negotiations
There's a long conversation awaiting you here, during which your task is to negotiate with and gain Camelia's trust. Every decision has its own grading, giving you points for each one - at the end of the conversation those will be summed up, giving you a reward based on the amount of points you've accumulated. The options to choose from are as follows:

Once over, you will gain Camelia's trust and a small gift. Depending on the amount of points you've accumulated you can receive the following rewards:

Into the Fray
Recommended level: 31
Client: Camelia
Exp: 1500
After a series of cut-scenes you will be facing several groups of imperial soldiers. Run straight ahead, eliminating enemies on your way. Once you're on the marked balcony, jump onto Prompto's vehicle. You now have to block and counter Leviathan's attacks and jump on the beast's head. Select the following dialogue options:
- Demand her power
- Maintain a commanding tone x2
Thanks to that you will receive 10 AP, although the enemy will be slightly stronger during the upcoming battle.
The Trial of Leviathan
Recommended level: 31
Client: Leviathan
Exp: 3000
Reward: Mark of the Hydraean x1
At the beginning of the encounter your task is to avoid Leviathan's attacks and teleport between various points. Once the enemy is stationary, use a warp-strike to deal some damage. Rinse and repeat until another cut-scene initiates.
Noctis will acquire immense power of his ancestors, coupled with the ability to fly. Continue attacking Leviathan until the beast hides under the water. It will then start its counterattack, although the beast's attacks are easy to dodge. Continue attacking the enemy until its health bar drops to zero.
Afterwards, block the attack, perform a counter and deliver the finishing blow. Leviathan will fall, a series of cut-scenes will initiate and the chapter will be over.
