Gae Bolg (weapon)



Gae Bolg, also known as Gae Balg, is a recurring spear in the Final Fantasy series. It is often a high-ranked spear with decent Attack power, and is acquired late in the game.

Final Fantasy X
Called the Gae Balg, it is a weapon Kimahri can acquire if the dominant auto abilities on any of his spears are Overdrive → AP and Triple Overdrive.

Final Fantasy XI
The Gae Bolg polearm drops from the Notorious Monster Voivre in the Ifrit's Cauldron, one of the few high-level monsters which spawn passive in the entirety of the game. Though the drop rate is 100% and the spear is very powerful for its level of use, it has an unusually high weapon delay, which makes it inferior to higher-level alternatives because of its slow attack speed.

Final Fantasy XIII
The Gae Bolg is a first-tier spear for Fang that can be bought in Plautus's Weapons Workshop in Chapter 8. It has an improved Counter rate, and a Positive Effect synthesized ability that prolongs positive buffs' effect. Gae Bolg maxes out on level 21 and transforms into Gungnir with a Scarletite. Its maximum Strength is 103 and maximum Magic power 92.

The Gae Bolg is the Dragoon Relic Weapon, and is one of the weapons that can be obtained by completing the "A Relic Reborn" quest.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
Gae Bolg is a high-ranked spear that can be used by any race. It provides 136 attack at level 1 and 168 attack at level 30, gives +25 to Stun, has one empty slot, and comes with the abilities Black Mage Wisdom 1 and HP Absorb Attack 1. It can be obtained from a chest in the Tower on Hard or Very Hard, and then created for 1,800 gil by using an Adamantite, Abyssian x3, and an Ebonite. When turned into a jewel, a level 3-9 Gae Bolg makes an Ebonite, level 10-19 makes a Berserk Eye, and level 20-30 makes an Anti-Stun Stone 5.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
When Amidatelion summons Bahamut to prevent Layle and Keiss from continuing to pursue her, the mighty dragon holds the legendary spear Gae Bolg in his tail. This, however, proves to be Bahamut's undoing because, after the summon destroys the island with his signature Mega Flare, Layle is able to use his gravitokinetic powers to take control of the weapon and drive it straight through Bahamut's torso, defeating him.

The spear also appears alongside its wielder on the "Bahamut Strikes" emblem for Layle's coat.
