The Untouchable Trophy in Final Fantasy 16 is one of the easiest to unlock in the game, but you won’t be able to do it until you reach the Bolts from the Blue main quest. At this point you’ll gain access to the 
Titan tree, which provides you with a number of new 
Eikon abilities. The one you need to use for this trophy is the 
Titanic Block ability, which essentially functions as a shield for Clive. We’ll show you how to use the ability effectively, and the conditions you need to complete for the trophy.

How to Use Titanic Block for the Untouchable Trophy in FF16¶
As mentioned above, before you can work on unlocking this trophy, you first need to reach the Bolts from the Blue main quest. You can check your progress towards this point in the main story on our List of All Main Quests in Final Fantasy XVI page. At this point you’ll finally fight 
Hugo Kupka, the Eikon of the Titan. Clive will absorb some of Hugo’s power after the fight, including the Titanic Block ability.
This is the default ability for the Titan Eikon tree, equivalent to 
Phoenix Shift or 
Deadly Embrace, meaning that you can use it as often as you want without having to wait for any cooldowns. You’ll also have access to it immediately, without needing to upgrade it, but if you do choose to master the ability it will improve the effects by adding to the 
Limit Break gauge whenever you block an attack.
!Titanic Block is unlocked by default once you acquire the !Titan !Eikon ability tree.
Titanic Block vs Precision Block¶
There are two different forms of blocking with the Titanic Block ability: Titanic Blocks and Precision Blocks. The former occurs whenever you block an incoming attack by holding 
, while the latter occurs only when you press to block at the precise moment when an enemy attack is about to hit you. It’s important to note that both will add to the progress towards unlocking the Untouchable trophy. You don’t need to execute Precision Blocks exclusively for this.
As you’re probably aware by this point in the game, you’ll need to attune to the Titan Eikon ability tree before you can use Titanic Block as the default skill associated with the button. There are actually more ways that you can counter with this ability after performing a successful Precision Block, which involve landing a number of blows immediately after the block. The counters work in the following way:
-
Titanic Counter: Land 1 blow following a Precision Block.
-
Titanic Counter 2: Land 2 blows following a Precision Block.
-
Titanic Counter 3: Land 3 blows following a Precision Block.
This is fairly intuitive once you get the hang of it, since all you need to do is hit the enemy a specific number of times after blocking their attack. You’ll inflict more damage for each attack that you hit after blocking, but only up to a maximum of three attacks.
The other thing to note about Precision Blocks vs Titanic Blocks, is that if you execute the former you will also damage the enemy that you’re blocking, and in some cases briefly stagger them. However, as stated above, you won’t be able to block every incoming attack, especially the more powerful attacks that you’ll encounter during boss fights. There’s no clear definition of which attacks can’t be blocked, so you’ll need to experiment a bit with each encounter to find out. With that said, as a general rule most attacks from smaller, weaker enemies are guaranteed to be blockable.

You shouldn’t have much trouble unlocking this trophy once you acquire Titanic Block. All you need to do is find enough enemies to attack you at least 10 times, allowing you to block the attacks. You’ll have an easier time if it’s just you and 
Torgal in the party, since other companions may kill or distract the enemies before they have chance to attack. You can stop Torgal from attacking by spamming his heal skill using the 
button.
