Final Fantasy IX
The Excalibur II is the most powerful weapon available in Final Fantasy IX, and can only be equipped by Steiner. It has an amazing attack power of 108, its element is Holy, has no status and gives the abilities Minus, Strike, Climhazzard, and Stock Break. It is a well adorned sword, with a red-orange hilt and an opaque-green blade.

Requirements
It is one of the hardest weapons to obtain in the entire Final Fantasy series, as it cannot be bought from a shop or dropped or stole from any monster. The only way the player can obtain the Excalibur II is to make it to the last town of Memoria, and go to a room called Gate to Space (where the party fights Lich) with less than 12 hours of game time passing. Once in the room, the player must search the right pillar in the room to receive the sword. A message is left near the sword for Gilgamesh, written by Enkido, which reads:

So it turns out that Gilgamesh's brother Enkido turned down the best weapon in the game for the Excalipur, a weapon known for its comedic uselessness (the Tin Armor also being known for the same). Sticking to the Final Fantasy tradition, Gilgamesh and Enkido yet again bring a touch of comedy to their game. (It is found out later in the game that 'Alleyway Jack' is in fact Gilgamesh, but Enkido is never seen in the game.)

For A Perfect Game Save
Now, passing three discs in 12 hours is a challenge, but not too hard. However, if you are going after a 'perfect' game save, which is probably the case if you are even considering getting this sword, there is much more that needs to be considered. First off, many items, key items and such cannot be gotten after their disc. This means the player will have to get all missable items on the way. This is made harder by the fact that to get one key item later on, you will need to have not missed any treasure. So everything must be picked up along the way, and everything bought that cannot be bought later on.

Excalibur II is one of the strongest swords in Dissidia. It is a Level 99 Sword with an ATK of 67. It gives +100% Experience Gain, and can be used by Warrior of Light, Emperor, Onion Knight, Cecil Harvey, Cloud, Squall and Tidus.
