Final Fantasy XVI Orchestrion Rolls Location guide, version 1.31 and The Rising Tide

by Alex Donaldson and Bryan Vitale on 17 April, 2024

There's not a huge number of collectibles in Final Fantasy XVI, but one of the more notable and useful items you can have Clive gather as he journeys across Valisthea is the Orchestrion Music Rolls. These are handy souvenirs of your travels, but they're also actually useful. You can use these Orchestra scrolls in the Orchestrion machine in the Hideaway to customize your base's soundtrack.

There's 77 Orchestrion Music Rolls in FF16 in total - but collecting them all isn't entirely simple. Some unlock naturally as you progress the story, some have to be purchased from stores, and some have to be found in treasure chests out in the world. This makes a few easily missable, just as with the Curiosities for the Wall of Memories, FF16's other main collectible. 

History: There were originally 24 Orchestion Music Rolls in FF16, but update 1.21 and the release of Echoes of the Fallen increased the number to 32, and update 1.31 upped the total up all the way to 77. Note that getting all of them will require purchasing the DLC content.

On this guide, we explain where and how & where to get all 77 FF16 Orchestrion Rolls - making it a breeze to get Clive a full collection.

Unlocking all of the FF16 Orchestrion Rolls gives you a range of new music for your Hideaway - and scratches that completionist itch. Here's where to get them all.

FF16 Orchestrion Roll Locations & Unlocks

As mentioned above, the FF16 Orchestrion Roll locations are split into four basic categories of unlock. Some are unlocked by story means, some are purchased from shops (though when they appear in shops is also often gated by story quest progression), some are unlocked by gathering Renown, and some are hidden in treasure chests in the open zone areas of FF16's map, making them ideal to hunt for as you track down the Chronolith Trials.

This guide will help you to find all 77, unlocking all of the music to play in the Hideaway and completing another aspect of Clive's journey to 100%.

FF16 Orchestrion Roll List

In the menu of the Orchestrion, each of the Orchestrion Rolls that can be played appear in a specific order, with any you haven't unlocked simply marked as ???? with a vague clue as to where to find them. Helpfully, this means we can reproduce that order here - and you can cross-reference our list with your in-game list to see which you're missing.

The in-game list is thankfully a set order - so we can offer an FF16 Orchestrion Roll list that matches.

Here's all 77 Orchestrian Rolls, in the order they appear in Final Fantasy XVI's Orchestrion machine menu:

Patron's Whisper & Renown Orchestrion Roll unlocks

Rack up renown and head to the Patron's Whisper to unlock more Orchestrion Rolls.

The following Orchestrion Scrolls are unlocked at Patron's Whisper, the station near the Hunt Board manned by Desiree in the Hideaway. Here, you unlock rewards periodically by collecting Renown and boosting Clive's reputation as a heroic outlaw. 

If you want to farm Renown, the best way is via quests and hunts - and our FF16 Hunts and complete Side Quests guide can help you with both of those. 

  • A Rose is a Rose: Requires 135 Renown.
  • No Risk, No Reward: Requires 1120 Renown.
  • To Sail Forbidden Seas: Requires 2850 Renown.

Shop-based Orchestrion Roll unlocks

The majority of the FF16 Orchestrion Roll unlocks are purchased from shops across the world.

The vast majority of the optionally unlockable Orchestra Music for the hideaway is actually found in the many shops of FF16 - meaning you'll just need to visit shops and spend your hard-earned gil to earn them.

Some shops disappear as FF16's story progresses - but when this happens, the stock from those stores immediately becomes available from the Charon's Toll shop in the hideaway - so don't worry, if you're looking for a scroll from this list and it isn't available at the main shop lised because that shop has disappeared, go see Charon. There's no missables here!

Treasure Chest Orchestrion Roll unlocks

In addition to all of the above, there's four Orchestrion Rolls hidden in FF16's open zone areas, plus one found during  Echoes of the Fallen, plus two found during The Rising Tide. As it happens, this tallies nicely - as there are four open zone 'kingdoms' in FF16. So, as you might imagine, that means there's one roll found in a treasure chest for each of the larger explorable areas of Final Fantasy XVI.

Though they morph and change over the course of FF16, these open zones remain available to Clive all the way through his adventure. So you can return to nab these chests at any point from when these zones unlock until right before starting the final charge on FF16's final mission. 

Here's where to find each of the four chests in a little more detail:

  • Forevermore
  • Histoire
  • Sand and Stone
  • Indomitable
  • The Worm Mounts - No map available for this one since it's found in during Echoes of the Fallen right before the final DLC boss.
  • Writ in Water
  • Bid Time - No map available for this one since it's found in the last major dungeon area of The Rising Tide

Forevermore Orchestrion Roll Location

The location of one of the Orchestrion Roll treasure chests in FF16.

Grab this chest in Martha's Rest, the safe haven town found in Rosaria. If you teleport to the fast travel obelisk within Martha's Rest itself, you just need to head north-east within the town itself, to a small alleyway that's in the furthest north-eastern point of the town. 

Hidden in shadow is the chest, which contains the Forevermore music for the hideaway, plus some crafting materials.

Histoire Orchestrion Roll Location

The location of Sanbreque's Orchestrion Roll treasure chests in FF16.

For the Kingdom of Sanbreque, you'll need to head to The Hanged Man pub which is in Lostwing. This place is visited early, but it doesn't remain an entirely safe zone for the whole game - though the chest remains there even after the villages clear out of the town.

Inside The Hanged Man, you'll need to head up the stairs, and then keep your eye out for ladders. Climbing stairs and ladders alike, you'll want to head right up into the pub's rafters - where this chest awaits. 

Sand and Stone Orchestrion Roll Location

The location of the Dhalmekian Orchestrion Roll treasure chests in FF16.

Heading to the Republic of Dhalmekia, you'll need to first head to the town of Boklad, which becomes available a little later on during your adventures across the Dhalmekian provinces. In the Western bit of Boklad, to the left of the Crimson Caravans and north of The Wheel and Crescent, there's a small alleyway.

As with many chests, you'll find this Treasure Chest containing the musical roll hiding in the shadows within this alleyway. 

Indomitable Orchestrion Roll Location

The location of Waloed's Orchestrion Roll treasure chest in FF16.

Waloed is the final land you visit in FF16, and this hostile kingdom has no friendly and inhabited towns - but it still has an Orchestrion Scroll to find. For this you'll want to head to the town of Eistla, which happily happens to have its very own fast travel obelisk, making things easier.

From the fast travel Obelisk, head to the raised part on the western half of the town, just below the abandoned taven, The Maudlin Mason. There's a more open chunk of map connected to some narrow pathways - and here, under a shed-like building, you'll find the chest with the Orchestrion roll. 

Writ in Water Orchestrion Roll Location

The location of Mysidia's Orchestrion Roll treasure chest in FF16.

Mysidia is visited during The Rising Tide, and the town of Haven is where you'll spend a good chunk of your time in the area. This chest is located near the water, about equidistant between The Foundry and The Witanhall.
