Brave Blade

Brave Blade, also known as Brave Sword, is a recurring weapon in the Final Fantasy series. It is often one of the stronger and rarer weapons and it first debuted in Final Fantasy V. It is often opposed by the weapon Chicken Knife.

Final Fantasy V
Brave Blade is one of the most powerful weapons in the original SNES and PlayStation versions (being exceeded by several weapons in the GBA remake), and can only be obtained in the merged world in Moore. Its counterpart is the Chicken Knife.

In order to obtain the Brave Blade, the player must head to the left of the inn and go as far as possible, then go down, to two barrels in a line next to a tree. The player should then head in front of the barrels and go down into the small building and into the woods. In the woods the directions are: down, right, down, left, up, right, down. On the last direction, the party will suddenly freeze and the screen will go fizzy, when two boxes and a old man will appear. He will tell the player to pick a box, one with the Chicken Knife, and one with the Brave Blade.

Brave Blade is a unique weapon in that it loses power each time the user runs from battle (running before obtaining the weapon does not hamper its attack power), and at its maximum power is stronger than Ragnarok. However, should the user run even once, the weapon will become substantially weaker than Ragnarok. It has a starting Attack power of 150, and grants +5 Strength.

The Brave Blade is the Vigil weapon corresponding to the Paladin's Mythic Weapon (Burtgang), found within Nyzul Isle. It can be used to obtain the weapon skill Atonement.
