It can be obtained by scoring 5,000 or more points in the Speed Square after Cloud and Tifa rejoin the party from "Clash in the Deep Sea" onward, and sells for 15,000 gil.
Final Fantasy XV[]
Polearms can be equipped by Noctis and Ignis. Flayer's passive ability is to boost Noctis's combo finisher. It boosts four attacks in its moveset:
- The Up+Attack move
- The final attack in its basic combo. While other spears end their basic combo with a jump into the air, Flayer's ends with a strong thrust.
- The final thrust of the Side+Attack combo
- The final hit of full thrust (Down+Attack).
Flayer does not boost the "Dragoon-like" plunging attack.
