Description
Götterdämmerung is the ultimate accessory in Final Fantasy VII Remake and "Episode INTERmission". It allows the wearer to enter any combat encounter with a full limit break gauge, and their limit gauge will also charge over time during battle.
Obtained[]
Up to three Götterdämmerungs can be obtained in the base game. One is won from defeating Pride and Joy Prototype in the final Shinra Combat Simulator challenge, "Three-Person Team vs. Top Secrets", in the beginning of Chapter 17, "Deliverance from Chaos", in hard mode. Another two can be obtained by defeating Weiss, the final Shinra Combat Simulator challenge in the beginning of Chapter 17, "Deliverance from Chaos", in hard mode exclusive to Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, available after completing "Episode INTERmission".
In "Episode INTERmission", the player gets two Götterdämmerungs from finishing the "Yuffie & Sonon vs. Top Secrets" combat simulator challenge in hard mode.
Use[]
Götterdämmerung is the best accessory in the game, allowing the user to start any battle with a huge advantage. The accessory couples well with 
Refocus Materia, allowing the character to start with three ATB gauges while their limit break gauge also recharges faster.
Though Götterdämmerung is obtained late, if the player can do the challenge the earliest it is available, Götterdämmerung can be helpful in the hard mode battles against the bosses Jenova Dreamweaver, Rufus, The Arsenal, and the final battles; it is great on Cloud for the final showdown, as he is present in every encounter. Though the Whisper Harbinger has multiple stages, the limit gauge does not reset between battles, and so Cloud can keep his three ATB charges from Refocus throughout them all unless he is KO'd. There is plenty time for his limit to recharge in time for when Whisper Bahamut is fought.
In the Shinra Combat Simulator battle against Weiss in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, the battle's description states that the Götterdämmerung has no effect. However, this is not true—the effect is merely halved.
Götterdämmerung can also be used to complete the player's Enemy Intel, to get the "used limit break" note on enemies; however, there is no specific benefit from doing this, as simply assessing enemies is enough for play log completion (a crown appears in the menu).
In "Episode INTERmission", Yuffie and Sonon can most easily use their synergized limit break ability if both have Götterdämmerungs equipped.
Etymology[]
In the original game, the Proud Clod drops the Ragnarok sword upon defeat. In Final Fantasy VII Remake, the Pride and Joy Prototype (which resembles the Proud Clod) will drop Götterdämmerung upon defeat. Götterdämmerung (lit. "Twilight of the Gods") is old German for the Old Norse word ragnarǫk. Additionally, Götterdämmerung was the name of the final opera of Der Ring des Nibelungen (the Ring of the Nibelung), a modern (at the time) retelling of the tale of Ragnarök.
