Final Fantasy 16 Usher to the Underworld hunt map location: Where to find Thanatos in FF16
As you can see from the map location above, the Thanatos Hunt in Final Fantasy 16 is located in The Dhalmekia Republic. Your best fast-travel point will be the Gilded Path marker.
From there, head West through the Wastes before arriving at Titan’s Wake. It can be quite the trek, so it may be worth hopping on your Chocobo to get there faster.
