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 that can be acquired in the games it appears in. It made its debut in Final Fantasy V, and it is often opposed by the Chicken Knife.

Final Fantasy V
Brave Blade is one of the most powerful weapons in the original SNES and Anthology versions, being exceeded by a few weapons in the Advance versions, 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 fuzzy, 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 even before the weapon is obtained, and at its maximum power is stronger than Ragnarok. However, should the user run even once in the entire game, the weapon's strength will greatly diminish. It has a starting Attack Power of 150, and grants +5 Strength.
