Main article: Apocalypse (Final Fantasy VII)

The Apocalypse is Cloud's sword. It is found after the player completes the Ancient Forest puzzle.

Final Fantasy XI[edit | edit source]

The Apocalypse is the primary Relic Weapon of the Dark Knight job, available only to level 75 Dark Knights after having completed an immensely lengthy and expensive quest (often taking months of time, hundreds of millions of gil, and the full assistance of an entire linkshell community to obtain difficult Dynamis drop items). It is in fact not a greatsword, but actually a large golden scythe.

It is widely recognized among the endgame community as one of the most powerful weapons, and is hands-down the strongest weapon available to the Dark Knight class, making the job a viable front-line fighter in endgame events such as Einherjar, because of the unique way in which it grants the Haste effect to its owner and drains HP from enemies. Of particular note, the Apocalypse has the highest base damage level of any non-ranged weapon, with 103.

Final Fantasy XIII[edit | edit source]

Sacrificing mobility for power, this imposing blade was utilized during the War of Transgression.

As a trade-off, it also comes with the trait Ironstrike, which decreases ATB speed by 50%. It transmutes into the version of Omega Weapon that has the highest Strength and Magic values, at the cost of still retaining Ironstrike.

Final Fantasy XIV[edit | edit source]

The Apocalypse is the Zodiac Weapon for summoners. It is acquired via the quest His Dark Materia, by combining reagents acquired from assorted other side quests with a materia created from the Veil of Wiyu Nexus, the final stage of the summoner's Relic Weapon. It can then be upgraded to the Apocalypse Zeta, the most powerful summoner weapon in A Realm Reborn.

Apocalypse and Apocalypse Zeta's secondary stats are determined by what the character chose to imbue in the Veil of Wiyu Novus, and can be redone by acquiring and imbuing a new Sphere Scroll: The Veil of Wiyu from Hubairtin in Central Thanalan and presenting it to Jalzahn Daemir in the North Shroud.

Apocalypse and Apocalypse Zeta Replicas are available for glamour purposes to characters who have completed the Zeta.

A great sword of unknown origin said to appear before the fall of humankind. Although accounts of its appearance have been handed down through generations, details such as the materials it is composed of, its maker, and the date of its creation all remain a mystery. Scholars regard it as an omen of calamities yet to come, while others believe it to be a revelation from the gods. Some theories claim that perhaps it isn't a weapon at all, but instead the words that rise on the surface of the blade are meant to be read as the divine will of higher entities.

Etymology[edit | edit source]

[view · edit · purge]Apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning "uncovering"), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden. Today, it is commonly used in reference to any prophetic revelation or so-called end time scenario, or to the end of the world in general.
