[[File:Dissidia-UltimaWeapon.png|thumb|right|Cloud's Ultima Weapon, the classic example of an ultimate weapon.]] {{Nameless}} An '''ultimate weapon''' {{J|最終武器|Saishuu Buki|last weapon}} is a widely used term to refer to a single [[Weapon (equipment)|weapon]] model that objectively surpasses all others of its kind in both usefulness and power. In most installments of the [[Final Fantasy series|''Final Fantasy'' series]], each type of weapon features a single ultimate weapon, and it is possible to pinpoint an ultimate weapon from each available weapon type in the game. Ultimate weapons are often unique and available through [[sidequest]]s, which may range from item creation to being found at the defeat of optional [[boss]]es and/or [[bonus dungeon|optional dungeons]]. In most cases, the series' most powerful weapons have recurred even if in name only. Re-releases commonly offer new ultimate weapons not present in the games' original releases. == Appearances == === ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' === [[File:Masamune FFIII Art.png|thumb|right|The Masamune.]] Until the ''[[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls|Dawn of Souls]]'' release for the [[Game Boy Advance]], the best weapon was the [[Final Fantasy weapons#Masamune|Masamune]], which had the greatest attack power and could be equipped by every [[Final Fantasy jobs|job]]. However, the [[Final Fantasy weapons#Excalibur|Excalibur]] could easily deliver more damage despite its lower attack power due to being effective against all weaknesses. The ''Dawn of Souls'' release adds several new weapons, among them the [[Final Fantasy weapons#Ultima Weapon|Ultima Weapon]], whose attack power is bound to the wielder's current [[HP (stat)|HP]], and thus can reach an attack power of 99, far surpassing any other weapon. It can be equipped by every advanced job. In the ''[[Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary|20th Anniversary]]'' version, new pieces of equipment were added as rewards for the [[Labyrinth of Time]] sidequest, but only one weapon surpasses the Ultima Weapon in attack power: the [[Final Fantasy weapons#Barbarian Sword|Barbarian's Sword]]. It can be equipped by [[Warrior (Final Fantasy)|Warriors, Knights]], [[Red Mage (Final Fantasy)|Red Mages, and Red Wizards]]. ===''[[Final Fantasy II]]''=== [[File:FFII Staff of Light.png|right|Staff of Light.]] The best weapons changed with successive re-releases. Until the ''Dawn of Souls'' release, the best weapon was the [[Final Fantasy II weapons#Masamune|Masamune]], which, like all weapons, could be equipped by every character; however, unlike every other weapon, it gave no penalties to magic accuracy, reflecting how it could be used by every class in the original ''Final Fantasy''. In the ''Dawn of Souls'' release the playable characters of the new [[Soul of Rebirth]] storyline received exclusive weapons, obtainable at the [[Arubboth|Unknown Palace]]: {|class="half-width FFII article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !Character !Weapon !Type |- ![[Minwu (Final Fantasy II)|Minwu]] |[[Stardust Rod#Final Fantasy II|Stardust Rod]] |[[Staff (weapon type)|Staff]] |- ![[Scott (Final Fantasy II)|Scott]] |[[Final Fantasy II weapons#Wild Rose|Wild Rose]] |[[Sword (weapon type)|Sword]] |- ![[Ricard Highwind|Ricard]] |[[Dragon Whisker#Final Fantasy II|Wyvern's Lance]] |[[Spear (weapon type)|Spear]] |- ![[Josef (Final Fantasy II)|Josef]] |[[Bracer]]s |[[Gauntlet (equipment type)|Gauntlet]] |} In the ''20th Anniversary'' release for the [[PlayStation Portable]] and mobile platforms, new ultimate weapons were released for every playable character of the main storyline, obtainable through the [[Arcane Labyrinth]] sidequest. {|class="half-width FFII article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !Character !Weapon !Type |- ![[Firion]] |[[Ragnarok (weapon)#Final Fantasy II|Ragnarok]] |[[Sword (weapon type)|Sword]] |- ![[Maria (Final Fantasy II)|Maria]] |[[Artemis Bow#Final Fantasy II|Artemis Bow]] |[[Bow (weapon type)|Bow]] |- ![[Guy]] |[[Gigantaxe#Final Fantasy II|Gigantaxe]] |[[Axe (weapon type)|Axe]] |- ![[Leon (Final Fantasy II)|Leon]] |[[Longinus (weapon)#Final Fantasy II|Longinus]] |[[Spear (weapon type)|Spear]] |- ![[Minwu (Final Fantasy II)|Minwu]] |[[Staff of Light#Final Fantasy II|Staff of Light]] |[[Staff (weapon type)|Staff]] |- ![[Josef (Final Fantasy II)|Josef]] |[[Dragon Claws (weapon)#Final Fantasy II|Dragon Claws]] |[[Dagger (weapon type)|Knife]] |- ![[Gordon (Final Fantasy II)|Gordon]] |[[Gungnir (weapon)#Final Fantasy II|Gungnir]] |[[Spear (weapon type)|Spear]] |- ![[Leila]] |[[Dancing Dagger (weapon)#Final Fantasy II|Dancing Dagger]] |[[Dagger (weapon type)|Knife]] |- ![[Ricard Highwind|Ricard]] |[[Abel's Lance#Final Fantasy II|Abel's Lance]] |[[Spear (weapon type)|Spear]] |} As in the ''Dawn of Souls'' release, the playable characters of the Soul of Rebirth mode will keep their equipment from a normal cleared save, and as such, it is possible to keep Minwu's, Josef's and Ricard's weapons from the Arcane Labyrinth, considering they had them equipped as they left the party. === ''[[Final Fantasy III]]'' === [[File:Onion Sword FFIII Art.png|thumb|right|The Onion Sword.]] A character's equipment is limited by their [[Final Fantasy III jobs|job]]. The most powerful weapon is the [[Shuriken (weapon)|Shuriken]], which always deals 9999 damage, but can only be used by [[Ninja (Final Fantasy III job)|Ninja]], and is consumed upon use. However, several other powerful weapons are available. In the original release, the strongest weapon was the [[Final Fantasy III weapons#Onion Sword|Onion Sword]], which could be equipped by the namesake [[Onion Knight (Final Fantasy III)|Onion Knight]]. Many weapons of comparable power to the Onion Sword, and accessible to many jobs, can be found at [[Eureka (Final Fantasy III)|Eureka]], each protected by strong bosses. {|class="half-width FFIII article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !Weapon !Type !Boss |- ![[Moonring Blade (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Moonring Blade]] |[[throwing weapon|Thrown]] |[[Amon (Final Fantasy III)|Amon]] |- ![[Masamune (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Masamune]] |[[Katana (weapon type)|Dark Blade]] |[[Kunoichi (Final Fantasy III)|Kunoichi]] |- ![[Excalibur (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Excalibur]] |[[Sword (weapon type)|Sword]] |[[General (Final Fantasy III)|General]] |- ![[Ragnarok (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Ragnarok]] |[[Sword (weapon type)|Sword]] |[[Guardian (Final Fantasy III)|Guardian]] |- ![[Final Fantasy III weapons#Elder Staff|Elder Staff]] |[[Staff (weapon type)|Staff]] |[[Scylla (Final Fantasy III)|Scylla]] |} The 3D remake adds new sidequests involving a new character, the [[Legendary Smith]], that yield new powerful job-exclusive weapons and armor by maxing a job's level with any character. A new ultimate weapon, the [[Ultima Weapon (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Ultima Weapon]], offers significantly greater stat boosts than the Onion Sword at the expense of one unit of attack power. Each of the mentioned weapons can only be obtained once. Additionally, the [[Spear (weapon type)|spear]] [[Gungnir (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Gungnir]], which can be [[Steal#Final Fantasy III|stolen]] from [[Odin (Final Fantasy III boss)|Odin]], is as powerful as any of the aforementioned weapons. ;Legendary Smith weapons {|class="half-width FFIII article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !Job !Weapon !Type |- ![[Warrior (Final Fantasy III)|Warrior]] |[[Gigantaxe#Final Fantasy III|Gigantic Axe]] |[[Axe (weapon type)|Axe]] |- ![[Black Mage (Final Fantasy III)|Black Mage]] |[[Lilith Rod#Final Fantasy III|Lilith Rod]] |[[Rod (weapon type)|Rod]] |- ![[Thief (Final Fantasy III)|Thief]] |[[Gladius (Final Fantasy III)|Gladius]] |[[Dagger (weapon type)|Dagger]] |- ![[Knight (Final Fantasy III)|Knight]] |[[Save the Queen#Final Fantasy III|Save the Queen]] |[[Sword (weapon type)|Sword]] |- ![[Ranger (Final Fantasy III)|Ranger]] |[[Artemis Bow#Final Fantasy III|Artemis Bow]] |[[Bow (weapon type)|Bow]] |- ![[Scholar (Final Fantasy III)|Scholar]] |[[Final Fantasy III weapons#Omnitome|Omnitome]] |[[Book (weapon type)|Book]] |- ![[Geomancer (Final Fantasy III)|Geomancer]] |[[Final Fantasy III weapons#Blessed Bell|Blessed Bell]] |[[Bell (weapon type)|Bell]] |- ![[Dark Knight (Final Fantasy III)|Dark Knight]] |[[Ame no Murakumo (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Murakumo]] |[[Katana (weapon type)|Dark Blade]] |- ![[Dragoon (Final Fantasy III)|Dragoon]] |[[Final Fantasy III weapons#Magic Lance|Magic Lance]] |[[Spear (weapon type)|Spear]] |- ![[Viking (Final Fantasy III)|Viking]] |[[Final Fantasy III weapons#Mighty Hammer|Mighty Hammer]] |[[Hammer (weapon type)|Hammer]] |- ![[Devout (Final Fantasy III)|Devout]] |[[Holy Rod#Final Fantasy III|Holy Wand]] |[[Staff (weapon type)|Staff]] |- ![[Magus (Final Fantasy III)|Magus]] |[[Final Fantasy III weapons#Millennium Rod|Millennium Rod]] |[[Rod (weapon type)|Rod]] |- ![[Ninja (Final Fantasy III job)|Ninja]] |[[Muramasa (weapon)#Final Fantasy III|Muramasa]] |[[Katana (weapon type)|Dark Blade]] |- ![[Sage (Final Fantasy III)|Sage]] |[[Sage's Staff#Final Fantasy III|Sage Staff]] |[[Staff (weapon type)|Staff]] |- ![[Onion Knight (Final Fantasy III)|Onion Knight]] |[[Final Fantasy III weapons#Onion Blade|Onion Blade]] |[[Sword (weapon type)|Sword]] |} ===''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''=== ====2D versions==== [[File:FF4-Ragnarok-DS.png|right|Ragnarok.]] The ultimate weapons for the main final party can be found at the [[Lunar Subterrane]], the [[Final dungeon (term)|final dungeon]].

It is won by defeating [[Skull Dragon (Final Fantasy VI)|Skull Dragon]] or by betting the Final Trump in the Coliseum. === ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' === [[File:Princess Guard FF7.png|right|thumb|The Princess Guard.]] Ultimate weapons are distinguishable for having unique damage algorithms, as well as eight linked [[Materia (Final Fantasy VII)|Materia]] slots with zero Materia growth. Because of the weapons' unique damage algorithms, the damage they deal can be lower than that of other weapons under certain circumstances, making them not always the ideal weapon to equip. Unlike most other damage modifiers, each character's ultimate weapon applies the damage modifier after all other modifiers, instead of modifying the attack strength of the weapon itself. [[Cloud (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Cloud's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Ultima Weapon (Final Fantasy VII)|Ultima Weapon]], dropped by the [[Ultimate Weapon (Final Fantasy VII)|Ultimate Weapon]] boss. It deals more damage based on how close Cloud is to full HP. :<math>[ 1 + ( 48 \times \text{Cloud's current HP percentage} ) ] \over 16</math> This "raw damage" is then modified by the attack's strength (1 if it is a normal attack) and other modifiers. At full HP, the weapon would deal 4x damage and 1x damage at about 1/3rd HP. [[Barret (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Barret's]] ultimate weapon, the [[Missing Score (Final Fantasy VII)|Missing Score]], is found inside the [[Sister Ray]] just before battling [[Helletic Hojo]], but Barret must be in the [[party]] to receive it. It deals more damage the more [[Ability Points|AP]] the Materia loaded onto it contain. Because of its unique damage algorithm, Missing Score is subject to the [[Damage overflow glitch in Final Fantasy VII|overflow glitch]] that can let Barret kill any opponent in one hit. :<math>[1 + ( Total~AP~on~Weapon / 10,000 )] / 16</math> [[Master Magic]], [[Master Command]], [[Master Summon (Final Fantasy VII)|Master Summon]], [[Enemy Skill (Final Fantasy VII)|Enemy Skill]], and [[Underwater (Final Fantasy VII)|Underwater]] Materia do not add to this formula. [[Tifa (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Tifa's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Premium Heart (Final Fantasy VII)|Premium Heart]] obtained by examining a machine in the abandoned building that has a sign "ITEM" outside in [[Wall Market (Final Fantasy VII field)|Wall Market]]. It can be obtained after the player has found the [[Final Fantasy VII items#Key to Sector 5|Key to Midgar]] buried in [[Bone Village (field)|Bone Village]], which becomes available when Cloud and Tifa rejoin the party. The damage that is dealt by Premium Heart is calculated as follows: :<math>Power = [ 1 + (Tifa's~Limit~Level \times Limit~Bar~Units / 16] / 16</math> The maximum Limit Bar Units is 255 regardless of [[Limit (Final Fantasy VII)|Limit]] level (the Limit level simply adjusts the rate at which the bar fills). When the bar is full, the weapon does roughly 1–4x of its normal damage depending on the Limit level, and would do 1/16 of that damage when the Limit bar is empty. Unlike most weapon damage modifiers, this modifier does not solely adjust the weapon's attack power, but the character's final attack power, which includes Tifa's [[Final Fantasy VII stats#Strength|Strength]] and weapon attack bonus. There may be a bug with the formula as the way it is written, the "1" value has almost no effect. If the formula was instead : <math>Power = 1 + [ (Tifa's~Limit~Level \times Limit~Bar~Units / 16 / 16 ] </math>, the weapon would do 1x its normal damage when the Limit bar is empty and up to 5x damage with a full level 4 Limit gauge. The actual formula causes Tifa to do less than normal damage unless her Limit bar is at least 1/4th full at Limit level 4, which many players consider worse than a non-ultimate weapon. The [[God's Hand (Final Fantasy VII)|God's Hand]], Tifa's "second best" weapon, has 255% accuracy, which makes it ideal to use with [[Deathblow (Final Fantasy VII)|Deathblow]] for an automatic critical hit. Tifa's [[Powersoul (Final Fantasy VII)|Powersoul]] deals double damage if Tifa's in [[Near-death]] status, and if Tifa has [[Death-sentence]] status it quadruples the damage. Both multipliers stack. Powersoul can be found in [[Mt. Nibel (Final Fantasy VII field)|Mt. Nibel]] in the area [[Materia Keeper (Final Fantasy VII)|Materia Keeper]] is fought. Another of Tifa's weapons, the [[Master Fist (Final Fantasy VII)|Master Fist]], deals more damage the more status ailments Tifa is afflicted with, and can be found in [[Shinra Bldg. (Final Fantasy VII field)|Shinra Bldg.]] shop in Part II. [[Aeris (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Aeris's]] ultimate weapon, [[Princess Guard (Final Fantasy VII)|Princess Guard]], can be found in room four of the clock room in the [[Temple of the Ancients (field)|Temple of the Ancients]]. It is the only ultimate weapon that has Materia growth and has fewer than eight linked Materia slots. It deals more damage if her allies are [[Knocked Out|KO'd]]. :<math>Damage = Damage \times (1 + Number~of~Allies~in~Death~Status)</math> The [[Limited Moon (Final Fantasy VII)|Limited Moon]], [[Red XIII (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Red XIII]]'s ultimate weapon, is found by talking to [[Geisel Bugenhagen]] at [[Cosmo Canyon (Final Fantasy VII field)|Cosmo Canyon]] in the endgame with Red XIII in the party. It deals more damage based on how close Red XIII is to full MP. :<math>Power = [(3 \times Power \times Red~XIII's~MP) / Red~XIII's~Max~MP] + 1</math> [[Yuffie (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Yuffie's]] ultimate weapon, the [[Conformer (Final Fantasy VII)|Conformer]], can be found in the [[Sunken Gelnika (field)|Sunken Gelnika]], accessible via the [[Submarine (Final Fantasy VII transportation)|submarine]]. It does more damage the higher level the opponents are, and ignores the [[Morph (Final Fantasy VII ability)|Morph]] damage penalty. When used against allies it deals 1 HP damage but there is no attack sound and no damage numbers are displayed. :<math>Power = Target~level / 16</math> [[Cait Sith (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Cait Sith's]] ultimate weapon, the [[HP Shout (Final Fantasy VII)|HP Shout]], can be found on the 64th floor of the [[Shinra Bldg. (Final Fantasy VII field)|Shinra Bldg.]] The megaphone can only be obtained after Cait Sith becomes a playable character, so it cannot be obtained until the party revisits the headquarters in Part 2. It deals more damage based on how close Cait Sith is to full HP. :<math>Power = [(3 \times Power \times Cait~Sith's~HP) / Cait~Sith's~Max~HP] + 1</math> The [[Death Penalty (Final Fantasy VII)|Death Penalty]], [[Vincent (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Vincent's]] ultimate weapon, is found in [[??? (Final Fantasy VII field)|???]]. The player must trigger a storyline event there by visiting the cave behind the waterfall near [[Nibelheim (Final Fantasy VII field)|Nibelheim]] with both Cloud and Vincent in the party (with a colored [[Chocobo (Final Fantasy VII)|chocobo]] or the [[Submarine (Final Fantasy VII transportation)|submarine]]), and then win 2 to 11 [[Final Fantasy VII battle system#Random encounters|random encounter]]s and return to the cave to obtain the weapon. Death Penalty's power is boosted after every enemy Vincent kills. Due to a [[Damage overflow glitch in Final Fantasy VII|damage overflow glitch]], if enough enemies are killed, the Death Penalty can kill any enemy with a single hit, including [[superboss]]es. :<math>Power = [10 + (Vincent's~Kills / 128) ] / 16</math> This is then modified by the attack's power; for normal attacks, the multiplier is 1.0. For a plot graph of this formula [http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+%28%2816%28X\128%29%29+\16%29+%2B+10,+X%3D0...65535 see here]. To reach a base 1.0 damage multiplier, Vincent would need 768 kills. To get 4.0 damage multiplier, Vincent needs 6,912 kills. The number of Vincent's kills is capped at <math>65535 = 2^{16} - 1</math>, but, as the division by 128 is actually a right bits shift by 7 (logarithm in base 2 of 128), only the quotient is considered. This means the Power stat raises by <math>(Technique Power)/16</math> every 128 kills; in particular the maximum power is granted as soon as Vincent has killed <math>65408 = 128 * 511</math> enemies, since <math>128 * 512 = 65536</math>, which is greater than the cap. For a physical attack the Technique Power is always 16, therefore in that scenario the maximum power is <math>511 + 10 = 521</math>. [[Cid (Final Fantasy VII party member)|Cid's]] ultimate weapon, the [[Venus Gospel (Final Fantasy VII)|Venus Gospel]], can be obtained by talking to the man who was staring at the [[Shinra No. 26|rocket]] at [[Rocket Town (Final Fantasy VII field)|Rocket Town]] after it has been launched from "[[What Aeris Left Behind]]" onward. If the player speaks to the man three times, he will give the player Cid's ultimate weapon. It deals more damage based on how close Cid is to full MP. :<math>Power = [(3 \times Power \times Cid's~MP) / Cid's~Max~MP] + 1</math> === ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' === [[File:ShootingStar-ffviii-rinoa.png|right|thumb|150px|The Shooting Star.]] As it is not a requisite to read the corresponding [[Weapons Monthly]] magazines before the weapons can be modeled in a [[Junk shop (Final Fantasy VIII)|junk shop]], the characters' ultimate weapons can be crafted as early as the player collects the required items (often done easier by [[Refine|modifying]] [[Triple Triad (Final Fantasy VIII)|Triple Triad]] cards). This means everyone but [[Irvine (Final Fantasy VIII party member)|Irvine]] can potentially obtain their strongest weapon on disc 1 (before the end of the [[Deling City]] parade). However, the weapons' attack stats are not significant due to the [[Junction system]], making only [[Squall (Final Fantasy VIII party member)|Squall's]] [[Lion Heart (Final Fantasy VIII weapon)|Lion Heart]] and [[Selphie (Final Fantasy VIII party member)|Selphie's]] [[Strange Vision (Final Fantasy VIII)|Strange Vision]] notable among them; Lion Heart for providing Squall his ultimate [[Renzokuken (Final Fantasy VIII)|Renzokuken]] technique, and Strange Vision having natural 255% accuracy. Squall's Lion Heart requires [[Adamantine (Final Fantasy VIII)|Adamantine]] x1, [[Dragon Fang (Final Fantasy VIII)|Dragon Fang]] x4 and [[Pulse Ammo (Final Fantasy VIII)|Pulse Ammo]] x12 to make, and costs 2,000 gil. Adamantine can be obtained from [[Adamantoise (Final Fantasy VIII)|Adamantoises]] on [[beach]]es north of [[Dollet]] or by modifying [[Minotaur (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Minotaur's card]]. Dragon Fangs are obtained from LV1–19 [[Grendel (Final Fantasy VIII)|Grendels]], LV20–29 [[T-Rexaur]]s, and [[Blue Dragon (Final Fantasy VIII)|Blue Dragons]] of any level. Pulse Ammo must be [[refine]]d with [[Ifrit (Final Fantasy VIII)|Ifrit's]] Ammo-RF from [[Energy Crystal]]s (easiest obtained from [[Elnoyle]]s or their [[Elnoyle (card)|cards]] earlier on), [[Laser Cannon (Final Fantasy VIII)|Laser Cannons]] and [[Power Generator (Final Fantasy VIII)|Power Generators]]. [[Rinoa (Final Fantasy VIII gameplay)|Rinoa's]] [[Shooting Star (Final Fantasy VIII)|Shooting Star]] requires [[Windmill (Final Fantasy VIII)|Windmill]] x2, [[Regen Ring (Final Fantasy VIII)|Regen Ring]] x1, [[Force Armlet (Final Fantasy VIII)|Force Armlet]] x1, Energy Crystal x2 and costs 1,000 gil. Windmills can be dropped from [[Thrustaevis (Final Fantasy VIII)|Thrustaevis]] or refined from [[Abyss Worm (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Abyss Worm cards]]. Regen Rings can be dropped from [[Vysage]] or refined from [[Chimera (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Chimera cards]]. A Force Armlet can be obtained from [[X-ATM092]], a high-level [[Ochu (Final Fantasy VIII)|Ochu]], or the second [[Edea (boss)|Edea]] fight. [[Zell (Final Fantasy VIII party member)|Zell's]] [[Ehrgeiz (Final Fantasy VIII)|Ehrgeiz]] requires Adamantine x1, [[Dragon Skin (Final Fantasy VIII)|Dragon Skin]] x4, [[Fury Fragment (Final Fantasy VIII)|Fury Fragment]] x1 and costs 800 gil. Dragon Skins can be obtained from [[Anacondaur (Final Fantasy VIII)|Anacondaur]] or a low-level [[Grendel (Final Fantasy VIII)|Grendel]]. A Fury Fragment can be obtained from a higher-level Grendel or refined from [[Blue Dragon (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Blue Dragon cards]]. [[Quistis (Final Fantasy VIII party member)|Quistis's]] [[Save the Queen (Final Fantasy VIII)|Save the Queen]] requires [[Malboro Tentacle (Final Fantasy VIII)|Malboro Tentacle]] x2, [[Sharp Spike]] x4, Energy Crystal x4 and costs 800 gil. Malboro Tentacles can be refined from [[Malboro (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Malboro cards]] or received directly from them. Sharp Spikes can drop from [[Armadodo]] or be refined from [[Grand Mantis (card)|Grand Mantis]] and [[Death Claw (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Death Claw]] cards. Selphie's Strange Vision requires Adamantine x1, [[Star Fragment (Final Fantasy VIII)|Star Fragment]] x3, [[Curse Spike]] x2 and costs 800 gil. Star Fragments can be refined from [[Iron Giant (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Iron Giant cards]] or received directly from them. Curse Spikes can be refined from [[Tri-Face (card)|Tri-Face cards]]. Irvine's [[Exeter (Final Fantasy VIII)|Exeter]] requires [[Dino Bone]] x2, [[Moon Stone (Final Fantasy VIII)|Moon Stone]] x1, Star Fragment x2, [[Screw]] x18 and costs 800 gil. Dino Bones can be refined from [[Armadodo (card)|Armadodo]], [[T-Rexaur (card)|T-Rexaur]], or [[Sacred (Final Fantasy VIII card)|Sacred]] cards. Moon Stones are dropped by [[Elnoyle]], [[Imp (Final Fantasy VIII)|Imp]], and [[Torama (Final Fantasy VIII)|Torama]], all of which cannot be encountered until Disc 3. === ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' === [[File:Ultima Weapon FFIX.png|right|thumb|150px|The Ultima Weapon.]] [[Zidane (Final Fantasy IX party member)|Zidane's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Ultima Weapon (Final Fantasy IX)|Ultima Weapon]] found in an unmarked [[Chocobo Hot and Cold#Hidden treasures|chocobo bubble]] on the site where the [[Shimmering Island]] used to be. After the party obtains the ''[[Invincible (Final Fantasy IX)|Invincible]]'' the island will be gone, but will still be marked on the map. If the player dives with [[Choco]] (by using a [[Final Fantasy IX items#Dead Pepper|Dead Pepper]] exactly on the right spot), they can find the Ultima Weapon. It teaches [[Flee (Final Fantasy IX)|Flee]] and inflicts the [[Sleep (Final Fantasy IX status effect)|Sleep]] status when used with [[Soul Blade (Final Fantasy IX)|Soul Blade]]. [[Tiger Racket (Final Fantasy IX)|Tiger Racket]] is the strongest racket usable by both [[Dagger (Final Fantasy IX gameplay)|Dagger]] and [[Eiko (Final Fantasy IX party member)|Eiko]]. It is obtained from the bubble below [[Quan's Dwelling]]. The player must enter Quan's Dwelling and look down from the ledge after they have trained Choco to dark blue color. It teaches [[Dispel (Final Fantasy IX)|Dispel]] and is [[Wind (Final Fantasy IX element)|Wind]]-elemental. However, Dagger and Eiko being mage-type characters means their physical attack will always be weak, and thus [[Magic Racket (Final Fantasy IX)|Magic Racket]] with its +2 Magic and [[Elemental Affinity#Final Fantasy IX|boost]] to [[Holy (Final Fantasy IX element)|Holy]] damage may be more useful. Dagger's other ultimate weapon is the [[Whale Whisker (Final Fantasy IX)|Whale Whisker]], found after uncovering [[Chocograph]] 18, Ocean. It teaches [[Curaga (Final Fantasy IX)|Curaga]] and [[Life (Final Fantasy IX)|Life]]. Eiko's other ultimate weapon is the [[Angel Flute (Final Fantasy IX)|Angel Flute]], found in the Past room in [[Memoria (Final Fantasy IX)|Memoria]]. It teaches Eiko [[Esuna (Final Fantasy IX)|Esuna]] and Curaga, as well as her strongest spell, [[Holy (Final Fantasy IX)|Holy]]. [[Steiner (Final Fantasy IX gameplay)|Steiner's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Excalibur II (Final Fantasy IX)|Excalibur II]] found in Memoria if the player inspects the pillar in the Gate to Space room with less than 12 hours on the game clock. It is Holy-elemental and teaches [[Minus Strike (Final Fantasy IX)|Minus Strike]], [[Climhazzard (Final Fantasy IX)|Climhazzard]] and [[Stock Break (Final Fantasy IX)|Stock Break]]. Because of the arduous challenge to obtain this weapon, Steiner's second best weapon, the [[Ragnarok (Final Fantasy IX)|Ragnarok]], is often considered his other ultimate weapon. Found in the Chocograph 21, Outer Island, Ragnarok inflicts the [[Slow (Final Fantasy IX status effect)|Slow]] status when used with the [[Add Status (Final Fantasy IX)|Add Status]] ability, and teaches [[Shock (Final Fantasy IX)|Shock]] and [[Thunder Slash (Final Fantasy IX)|Thunder Slash]]. [[Vivi (Final Fantasy IX party member)|Vivi's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Mace of Zeus (Final Fantasy IX)|Mace of Zeus]] found in Memoria's Stairs room. It inflicts the [[Mini (Final Fantasy IX status effect)|Mini]] status when used with Add Status, and teaches [[Doomsday (Final Fantasy IX)|Doomsday]], Vivi's most powerful [[Blk Mag (Final Fantasy IX)|Black Magic]] spell. [[Freya (Final Fantasy IX party member)|Freya's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Dragon's Hair (Final Fantasy IX)|Dragon's Hair]] found at the [[Chocobo Hot and Cold#Hidden treasures|mountain crack]] (by feeding Choco a Dead Pepper at the correct spot) northwest of [[Oeilvert]]. It teaches the [[Dragon Breath (Final Fantasy IX)|Dragon Breath]] ability. [[Quina (Final Fantasy IX party member)|Quina's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Gastro Fork (Final Fantasy IX)|Gastro Fork]] obtained after [[frog catching|catching]] 99 frogs in [[Qu's Marsh|the marshes]] and defeating [[Quale (boss)|the boss]] that appears. It inflicts the [[Stop (Final Fantasy IX status effect)|Stop]] status with Add Status ability and teaches [[High Tide (Final Fantasy IX)|High Tide]]. [[Amarant (Final Fantasy IX gameplay)|Amarant's]] ultimate weapon is the [[Rune Claws (Final Fantasy IX)|Rune Claws]] found in the Time Interval room in Memoria. It inflicts the [[Darkness (Final Fantasy IX status effect)|Darkness]] status with Add Status ability and teaches [[Spare Change (Final Fantasy IX)|Spare Change]], [[Demi Shock (Final Fantasy IX)|Demi Shock]] and [[Revive (Final Fantasy IX)|Revive]]. Obtaining ultimate weapons yields [[Final Fantasy IX achievements and trophies|achievements/trophies]] in the versions that support an [[achievements]] system. === ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' === [[File:FFX Weapon - Onion Knight.png|right|thumb|150px|The Onion Knight doll.]] {{Main|Celestial Weapon}} The ultimate weapons are called "Celestial Weapons," and each of the seven permanent party members has one. The weapons are actually detrimental when first obtained, as they carry the No AP ability. To overcome this, each weapon must be enhanced using two corresponding key items (crests and sigils), each named for a celestial body corresponding to the character: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The Celestial Weapons are obtained by performing a task (although the Celestial Mirror key item must be obtained first), while the Crests are found in treasure chests and the Sigils are won by excelling in [[minigame]]s and sidequests. When fully enhanced, the Celestial Weapons have four abilities, which are generally complementary to the wielder's personality and/or default combat style. With the exception of [[Tidus (Final Fantasy X party member)|Tidus]]'s and [[Rikku (Final Fantasy X party member)|Rikku]]'s weapons, each Celestial Weapon allows a certain [[Aeon (Final Fantasy X)|aeon]] to [[Break Damage Limit|break the damage limit]]. Celestial Weapons ignore the defense of enemies when attacking physically. The [[Ultima Weapon (weapon)|Caladbolg]], [[Celestial Weapon#World Champion|World Champion]], [[Celestial Weapon#Spirit Lance|Spirit Lance]], and [[Celestial Weapon#Godhand|Godhand]] do damage based on how close their wielders' are to full HP. The [[Celestial Weapon#Masamune|Masamune]] does damage based on how low its wielder's HP is. [[Celestial Weapon#Onion Knight|Onion Knight]] and [[Celestial Weapon#Nirvana|Nirvana]] do damage based on how close their wielders' are to full MP. While the game's Customization feature makes it possible for players to manually create weapons with the same abilities as the Celestial Weapons, any such weapons will not take on the Celestial Weapons' names. They will not ignore defense, have any effect on aeons, or have the damage vary in different circumstances. === ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'' === [[File:FFXI Almace.png|right|thumb|150px|The Almace.]] ''Final Fantasy XI'' does not feature singular ultimate weapons, due to its great variety of equipment and customization, but there are five particular sets of unique and powerful weapons that are highly prized and extremely difficult to obtain: the [[Relic Weapon (equipment)|Relic Weapons]], the [[Mythic Weapon]]s, the [[Empyrean Weapon]]s, the [[Ergon Weapon]]s, and the [[Aeonic Weapon]]s. All five varieties require a large amount of time, gil, or teamwork, often some combination of the three, to obtain, and all three types provide the wielder with extraordinary power and a unique [[Final Fantasy XI weapon skills|weapon skill]]. Each type of ultimate weapon is associated with the content of a particular expansion or group of expansions. ==== Relic Weapons ==== {{Main|Relic Weapon (equipment)}} Relic Weapons can only be obtained by traveling into the realm of [[Dynamis (Final Fantasy XI)|Dynamis]] to collect the basic variety of relic weapon. The player must upgrade the weapon by giving a goblin certain items and ancient currency obtained within Dynamis. Due to the exceptionally high amount of currency required to upgrade relic weapons, people often need to purchase ancient currency from other players to acquire them within a reasonable time frame. Relic weapons are divided by weapon type. Relic weapons are the ultimate weapon type associated with ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Rise of the Zilart]]'' and ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia]]''; accordingly, jobs released from the ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan|Treasures of Aht Urhgan]]'' expansion pack and beyond are incapable of wielding them. ==== Mythic Weapons ==== {{Main|Mythic Weapon}} Mythic Weapons, arguably harder to obtain than any other type of weapon, randomly drop in their base version from bosses in the Nyzul Isle investigation missions. To upgrade the weapon, the player must first obtain the Captain rank in [[Salaheem's Sentinels]]. Then, the player may begin a long series of quests to upgrade the weapon. Few mythic weapons have been fully upgraded, partly because the weapon is the most difficult to obtain, and partly because there is a quest available to teach the players the weapon skill attached to the mythic weapon. Mythic weapons are divided by the job the weapon is designed for, and each weapon contains a different weapon skill. Mythic weapons are the ultimate weapon type associated with the ''Treasures of Aht Urhgan'' expansion, but two more were added when ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess]]'' was released for the Wings of the Goddess jobs. However, no more mythic weapons were added after that point for the remaining jobs. ==== Empyrean Weapons ==== {{Main|Empyrean Weapon}} Empyrean Weapons are designed to be upgraded through a variety of [[Trial of the Magians|trials]] involving slaying creatures or [[Notorious Monster]]s a number of times, sometimes under certain conditions. As the weapon becomes stronger, the trials required to upgrade the weapon become harder, often requiring groups to complete. Although the empyrean weapons were the cheapest variety of weapon to obtain, they also require a lot of work. Like relic weapons, empyrean weapons are grouped by weapon type rather than by job. Empyrean weapons are the ultimate weapon type associated with the [[Abyssea]] expansions, and accordingly they cannot be wielded by the jobs released after that. ==== Ergon Weapons ==== {{Main|Ergon Weapon}} Ergon weapons are the equivalent of mythic weapons for the ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Seekers of Adoulin]]'' jobs [[Geomancer (Final Fantasy XI)|Geomancer]] and [[Rune Fencer]]. There are only two of them. Each involves a unique quest and the acquisition of numerous items from Adoulin content. ==== Aeonic Weapons ==== {{Main|Aeonic Weapon}} Aeonic weapons are the ultimate weapon type associated with the final expansion, ''[[Final Fantasy XI: Rhapsodies of Vana'diel]]''. Unlike the other ultimate weapon types, which require immense quantities of a specific upgrade item (ancient currency for relics, alexandrite for mythic, heavy metal plates for empyrean, and high-purity bayld for ergon), aeonic weapons require that the strongest [[Notorious Monster]]s be defeated without the aid of Primeval Brew. Since one must have extremely powerful equipment to manage this, aeonic weapons virtually require that at least one of the other, more expensive, ultimate weapons be completed first. Because there are no more expansions, and hence no more jobs, after ''Rhapsodies of Vana'diel'', aeonic weapons can be equipped by every job. Like relic weapons, they are grouped by weapon type rather than by job. ==== Ambuscade Weapons ==== {{Main|Ambuscade Weapon}} Ambuscade weapons are earned through Ambuscade, a battlefield with new content monthly. They are the least complex weapons to obtain, only requiring a player to earn points by repeatedly completing relatively simple battles for all but one item, which is obtained through old battle content. They are the easiest weapons to obtain, with it possible to get even without amazing end-game gear if one is willing to invest the time. ===''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''=== [[File:ZodiacSpear-ffxii.png|right|thumb|200px|The Zodiac Spear.]] Each weapon type can be considered to have an "ultimate" version. New ultimate weapons were added to the ''Zodiac'' versions. The [[Zodiac Spear (Final Fantasy XII)|Zodiac Spear]] is the strongest weapon and spear with 150 Attack Power. In the original version, it is found in the [[Necrohol of Nabudis]] when the player does not open any of the unmarked [[Zodiac Spear (Final Fantasy XII)#Requirements|forbidden chests]]. Zodiac Spear can also be found in a random [[Treasure (Final Fantasy XII)|treasure]] in the [[Henne Mines]], but it has very low chance to spawn (1/1000). In the ''Zodiac'' versions, the forbidden chest concept was removed. Zodiac Spear is not available through the [[Rare Game]] quest and remains as a treasure in the Henne Mines. Another notable weapon is the [[Tournesol (Final Fantasy XII)|Tournesol]], the ultimate greatsword. Though not as strong as the Zodiac Spear, with an Attack Power of 140, it has higher Evade and a better chance of dealing [[Hit (term)#Final Fantasy XII|hit combos]]. It can be obtained by selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Gemsteel|Gemsteel]] x3, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Empyreal Soul|Empyreal Soul]] x3 and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Serpentarius|Serpentarius]] x3, and purchased for 600,000 gil at the [[Bazaar (Final Fantasy XII)|bazaar]]. Acquiring these items themselves involves an arduous series of crafting within the bazaar (see the [[Tournesol (Final Fantasy XII)|Tournesol article]] for a guide for how to obtain). The [[Wyrmhero Blade (Final Fantasy XII)|Wyrmhero Blade]] is another powerful greatsword with an Attack Power of 130 and a very high Evade of 50. It can be obtained by collecting Lu Shang's Badge from the [[Fishing (Final Fantasy XII)|fishing]] minigame, the Godslayer's Badge from slaying [[Yiazmat (Final Fantasy XII)|Yiazmat]], and the Omega Badge from slaying [[Omega Mark XII]], and then selling them; the weapon will then appear in the bazaar for purchase. It has a lower attack power than the Tournesol and a very slow [[Charge Time|charge time]], which, coupled with its difficult requirements, severely limits its usefulness. However, it has inherent [[Bravery (stat)|Bravery]] and [[Faith (status)|Faith]], and the highest combo rate of 80%, giving it an edge in some circumstances over the Tournesol and other ultimate weapons. It also does not have a license requirement. Though mainly a [[trophy item]], the Wyrmhero Blade is more useful in the ''Zodiac'' versions where the damage cap is removed, it can be wielded by any job, and it can be used effectively in [[Trial Mode]]. It can also be obtained from Trial Mode, meaning the player can potentially get one as early as they can beat [[Trial Mode#50|Stage 50]]. ====Original version==== [[Durandal (Final Fantasy XII)|Durandal]] is the ultimate one-handed sword with 99 Attack Power. It is bought from the bazaar for 21,600 gil by selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Lifewick|Lifewick]] x3, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Emperor Scale|Emperor Scale]] x2, and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Leshach Halcyon|Leshach Halcyon]] x1. [[File:Danjuro-ffxii.png|right|180px]] [[Danjuro (Final Fantasy XII)|Danjuro]] is the ultimate dagger with 80 Attack Power, and is notorious for how difficult it is to obtain. It is dropped by the [[Larva Eater]] (rare). [[Scorpion Tail (Final Fantasy XII)|Scorpion Tail]] is the ultimate weapon in the axes and hammers category with 119 Attack Power. It is bought from the bazaar for 60,000 gil after selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Charged Gizzard|Charged Gizzard]] x3, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Wyrm Bone|Wyrm Bone]] x3 and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Scorpio Gem|Scorpio Gem]] x4. [[Grand Mace (Final Fantasy XII)|Grand Mace]] is the ultimate mace with 72 Attack Power and reward for the [[Pylraster (Final Fantasy XII)|Pylraster]] hunt. [[Euclid's Sextant]] is the ultimate measure with 35 Attack Power that grants the [[Bubble (status)|Bubble]] status to whatever it hits. It is a reward for [[Wild Malboro]] hunt and found in a chest on the [[Cerobi Steppe]] ([[Diamond Armlet (Final Fantasy XII)|Diamond Armlet]] is needed). [[Masamune (Final Fantasy XII)|Masamune]] is the ultimate katana and has the highest chance to deal hit combos, especially when coupled with the [[Genji Gloves (Final Fantasy XII)|Genji Gloves]] accessory. This makes it useful for enemies that have damage caps, such as the later stages of Yiazmat, where combo abilities are more useful than Attack Power. Masamune is reward for the [[Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy XII boss)|Gilgamesh]] hunt, or by selling [[Gemsteel (Final Fantasy XII)|Gemsteel]] x2, [[Orichalcum (Final Fantasy XII)|Orichalcum]] x3, and [[Mallet (Final Fantasy XII)|Mallet]] x2 and bought from the bazaar for 350,000 gil. [[Yagyu Darkblade (Final Fantasy XII)|Yagyu Darkblade]] is the strongest ninja sword, dropped by the [[Rare Game|rare game]] [[Bombshell (Final Fantasy XII)|Bombshell]]. [[Whale Whisker (Final Fantasy XII)|Whale Whisker]] is the ultimate pole. It can be bought from the bazaar for 60,000 gil after selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Mythril|Mythril]] x3, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Corpse Fly|Corpse Fly]] x3 and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Aquarius Gem|Aquarius Gem]] x4. [[Rod of Faith (Final Fantasy XII)|Rod of Faith]] is the ultimate rod. It is obtainable on [[Mt Bur-Omisace]] after [[Behemoth King (Final Fantasy XII)|Behemoth King]] hunt. It cannot be blocked or parried by enemies. [[Staff of the Magi (Final Fantasy XII)|Staff of the Magi]] is the ultimate staff stolen from [[Luxollid]]. It [[Elemental Affinity|boosts]] Holy damage by 50%. [[Sagittarius (Final Fantasy XII)|Sagittarius]] is the ultimate bow bought from the bazaar for 60,000 gil by selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Beastlord Horn|Beastlord Horn]] x3, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Moon Ring|Moon Ring]] x3 and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)|Sagittarius Gem]] x4. The [[Artemis Arrows (Final Fantasy XII)|Artemis Arrows]] are the ultimate arrows, bought for 15,000 gil from the bazaar after selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Vampyr Fang|Vampyr Fang]] x2, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Dorsal Fin|Dorsal Fin]] x2, and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Gemini Gem|Gemini Gem]] x3. In the ''Zodiac'', the arrows are much cheaper at 1280 gil and require the [[Great Serpent's Fang (Final Fantasy XII)|Great Serpent's Fangs]] instead of Vampyr Fangs. [[Gastrophetes (Final Fantasy XII)|Gastrophetes]] is the ultimate crossbow stolen from [[Pallicant]], or bought from the Outfitters Shop in [[Phon Coast]] (part of Hunt Club sidequest; must give 25 trophies to Atak). The [[Grand Bolts]] are the ultimate bolts bought for 15,000 gil (original) or 1,680 gil (''Zodiac'') from the bazaar after selling [[Wrath of God]] x2, [[Ring Wyrm Liver]] x2 and [[Capricorn Gem]] x3. [[Fomalhaut (Final Fantasy XII)|Fomalhaut]] is the ultimate gun found from a random treasure in the [[Lhusu Mines]] in the room [[Antlion (Final Fantasy XII)|Antlion]] is found. It can also be found from Henne Mines Phase 2, [[Pharos (Final Fantasy XII)|Pharos]] and Cerobi Steppe. The [[Windslicer Shot]] and [[Dark Shot (Final Fantasy XII)|Dark Shot]] tie for the strongest ammo. [[Volcano (Final Fantasy XII)|Volcano]] is the ultimate hand-bomb and reward for the [[Catoblepas (Final Fantasy XII)|Catoblepas]] hunt. The [[Castellanos]] is the ultimate bomb bought for 12,000 gil from the bazaar after selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Bomb Fragment|Bomb Fragment]] x3, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Frog Oil|Frog Oil]] x2 and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Aries Gem|Aries Gem]] x3. ====''Zodiac'' versions==== [[File:Trango Tower FFXII Screenshot.png|thumb|Vaan striking with Great Trango.]] The ''Zodiac'' versions introduce some new weapons, some of which surpass the old ultimate weapons. [[Great Trango]] is the new ultimate one-handed sword that is even stronger than the Zodiac Spear and has a very high combo rate. It is a rare steal from [[Zodiark (Final Fantasy XII boss)|Zodiark]] or a random treasure in [[Subterra]] B3F southeast room. Notably, the weapon is invisible. [[Kumbha]] is the new stronger version of Masamune. It is obtained by selling the same items to the bazaar as was needed in the original ''Final Fantasy XII''. Unlike the Masamune, the Kumbha is a one-handed sword, meaning it can be used with a shield. [[Tula]] is the new strongest crossbow. It is obtained in Pharos at Ridorana - Second Ascent. [[Seitengrat (Final Fantasy XII)|Seitengrat]] is the new strongest bow with 224 Attack Power, 75 Evade, and a very high attack range and critical hit rate. It is by far the strongest weapon, but is only obtained from an invisible chest on a [[Skyferry]] with a very low spawn rate (0.01%). Like the Great Trango, the Seitengrat is invisible when equipped. It has no license and can thus be wielded by anyone. [[Mithuna]] is the new strongest gun bought from the bazaar by selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Emperor Scale|Emperor Scale]] x2, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Earth Crystal|Earth Crystal]] x3 and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Silver Liquid|Silver Liquids]] x3. [[Mina (Final Fantasy XII)|Mina]] is the new strongest dagger that drops from Larva Eater. This weapon is identical in appearance to the Danjuro, which it replaces completely in this version. [[Vrscika]] is the new strongest hammer that has a katana-like combo rate. It can be obtained from the bazaar after selling the same items as needed in ''Final Fantasy XII'' for the regular Scorpion Tail. [[Kanya]] is the new strongest pole bought from the bazaar by selling the same items to the bazaar as was needed for the regular Whale Whisker in the original ''Final Fantasy XII''. [[Makara (Final Fantasy XII)|Makara]] is the new strongest hand-bomb, found in Henne Mines Phase 2. [[Mesa]] is the new strongest ninja sword, bought from the bazaar by selling [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Coeurl Whisker|Coeurl Whisker]] x2, [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)#Sickle-Blade|Sickle-Blade]] x2 and [[Loot (Final Fantasy XII)|Cancer Gem]] x3. [[Bone of Byblos]] is the new ultimate mace found in Lhusu Mines - Site 5, and stolen from Yiazmat. ====''[[Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings]]''==== [[File:RW Anastasia.jpg|thumb|Anastasia]] The [[Anastasia]] can be considered [[Vaan (Revenant Wings party member)|Vaan's]] ultimate weapon, obtained as part of the storyline after the events in the World of Illusion. It is not initially the strongest available weapon, but its stats are boosted every time the [[Midlight's Deep (Revenant Wings)|Midlight's Deep]] dungeon is completed. Eventually, it is possible to boost the Anastasia's stats so high Vaan can take out [[Yiazmat (Revenant Wings)|Yiazmat]] alone. Other best weapons for characters are crafted with the help of [[Recipe Book]]s, but the weapons' stats depend on the items the player uses and the questions they answer when making the weapon. A series of unsellable weapons exist, but they grant no stat boosts and are usually outclassed by customizable weapons. Some have unique attributes that make them occasionally favorable, such as a particular element or a range ability. {{clear}} === ''[[Final Fantasy XIII]]'' === [[File:FFXIII Nue.png|right|thumb|180px|Hope's ultimate weapon, Nue.]] The [[Final Fantasy XIII upgrades|upgrading system]] allows [[Final Fantasy XIII weapons|any lesser weapon]] to be upgraded to the same ultimate weapon on the third tier of power. The ultimate weapon's stats and [[Final Fantasy XIII passive abilities|passive ability]] depend on the properties of the lesser weapon used as a base. No version of an ultimate weapon is objectively the best due to the differences in stats and abilities they offer. There are a few traits all ultimate weapons have in common regardless of which weapon they were upgraded from: they all require a [[Final Fantasy XIII components#Trapezohedron|Trapezohedron]] to be upgraded from the tier two weapon, and they all have the ability "ATB: +1" along with any other passive abilities, increasing the character's [[Command Synergy Battle#ATB Gauge|ATB gauge]] slots by one. As a penalty, wielding an ultimate weapon drastically decreases target times in battle, making it difficult to get higher [[Battle Results#Final Fantasy XIII|battle rankings]]. Ultimate weapons have no synthesized abilities. They also have high EXP requirements to level up, all needing more than a million EXP to reach their max level, and many needing more than a million and a half, in contrast to lower-tier weapons, which only need a few hundred thousand EXP to max out. Below is the ultimate weapon for each character: * [[Lightning (Final Fantasy XIII party member)|Lightning]]: [[Omega Weapon (weapon)|Omega Weapon]] * [[Sazh (Final Fantasy XIII party member)|Sazh]]: [[Total Eclipses]] * [[Snow (Final Fantasy XIII party member)|Snow]]: [[Save the Queen]] * [[Hope (Final Fantasy XIII party member)|Hope]]: [[Final Fantasy XIII weapons#Nue|Nue]] * [[Vanille (Final Fantasy XIII party member)|Vanille]]: [[Nirvana]] * [[Oerba Yun Fang|Fang]]: [[Kain's Lance (weapon)|Kain's Lance]] ==== ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'' ==== [[File:FFXIII-2 Arcus Chronica.png|right|thumb|150px|Serah with the Arcus Chronica.]] Unlike in ''Final Fantasy XIII'', [[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons|weapons]] don't level up; instead there are usually more powerful versions of existing ones with higher bonuses to Strength and Magic and augmented weapon bonus. {|class="half-width XIII2 article-table" style="text-align:center" |- !width="150px" rowspan="2"|Passive Ability !width="300px" colspan="2"|Character |- !width="150px"|[[Serah (Final Fantasy XIII-2 party member)|Serah]] !width="150px"|[[Noel (Final Fantasy XIII-2 party member)|Noel]] |- !Chain Bonus Lv. 5 |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Gandiva|Gandiva]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 72, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 120 |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Grasitha|Grasitha]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 120, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 72 |- !ATB Speed: +50% |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Indrajit|Indrajit]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 64, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 80 |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Romulus and Remus|Romulus and Remus]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 80, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 64 |- !ATB +1 |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Sagittarius|Sagittarius]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 115, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 160 |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Mac an Luin|Mac an Luin]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 160, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 115 |- !Improved [[Stagger (Final Fantasy XIII)|Stagger]] |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Arcus Chronica|Arcus Chronica]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 140, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 200 |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#In Paradisum|In Paradisum]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] 200, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] 140 |- !Fragment Energy |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Odinbolt|Odinbolt]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] {{foot|Varies|Strength is equal to percentage of Fragments obtained, plus 40, with an additional bonus of 80 if all Fragments are obtained.}}, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] {{foot|Varies|Magic is equal to percentage of Fragments obtained, plus 40, with an additional bonus of 80 if all Fragments are obtained.}} |[[Final Fantasy XIII-2 weapons#Odinblade|Odinblade]]<hr/>[[File:FFXIII-2 Strength Icon.png|15x15px|link=Strength]] {{foot|Varies|Strength is equal to percentage of Fragments obtained, plus 40, with an additional bonus of 80 if all Fragments are obtained.}}, [[File:FFXIII-2 Magic Icon.png|15x15px|link=Magic Power|Magic]] {{foot|Varies|Magic is equal to percentage of Fragments obtained, plus 40, with an additional bonus of 80 if all Fragments are obtained.}} |} ====''[[Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII]]''==== The [[Crimson Blitz (weapon)|Crimson Blitz]] transforms into the [[Ultima Weapon (Lightning Returns)|Ultima Weapon]] when the player completes the Four Trials in [[Luxerion Cathedral|God's Sanctum]] on the [[Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII days|Final Day]]. It has by far the best stats, but it is only obtained right before the [[Bhunivelze (boss)|final boss]], and it cannot be brought to a [[New Game Plus]] playthrough. === ''[[Final Fantasy XIV]]'' === [[File:FFXIV Artemis Bow.png|right|thumb|150px|The Artemis Bow.]] Each major release has its own set of ultimate weapons for each job, which can be upgraded throughout their respective patch cycles to maintain their status as the top weapons for that release. They can be identified by the purple coloration used in their icon to denote their rarity, with purple being exclusive to these weapons, though weaker iterations of the weapons may lack this. The individual sets of weapons each have their own collectives names and processes to acquire them, which are unlocked after completing the final main scenario quests from their initial release. They then each have unique progession system to upgrade them through various stages. The [[Final Fantasy XIV (version 1.0)|original release]] featured [[Relic Weapon (Final Fantasy XIV)|Relic Weapons]], which were carried over in ''A Realm Reborn'' where they can be upgraded to [[Zodiac Weapon]]s. ''[[Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward|Heavensward]]'' features [[Anima Weapon]]s, ''[[Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood|Stormblood]]'' features [[Eureka Weapon]]s, ''[[Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers|Shadowbringers]]'' features [[Resistance Weapon]]s, and ''[[Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker|Endwalker]]'' features [[Manderville Weapon]]s. Despite their unique names, Relic Weapon is often used as a catch-all term by the playerbase for all such weapons. ====''Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn''==== {{main|Relic Weapon|Zodiac Weapon}}

Fantasy XV]]''=== There are numerous weapon types, each of which can be considered to have an ultimate weapon. [[Noctis (Final Fantasy XV party member)|Noctis]] can wield every weapon, and the one-handed swords and the [[Royal arms (Final Fantasy XV)|royal arms]] are exclusive to him. The [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Ultima Blade|Ultima Blade]] was Noctis's strongest weapon in the main game, and the second strongest weapon overall until the [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Gaze of the Vortex|Gaze of the Vortex]] was introduced in [[Final Fantasy XV patches|patch 1.27]]. [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Balmung|Balmung]] was previously Noctis's strongest one-handed sword obtained from an optional dungeon in the post-game. The Gaze of the Vortex is the best weapon in the game after patch 1.27, dealing x1.5 damage when airstepping and always dealing critical hits. [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Ragnarok|Ragnarok]] is a season pass weapon that empowers [[warp-strike]]s, making it easily the strongest weapon in almost any situation. [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Hyperion|Hyperion]] was the strongest greatsword for Noctis and [[Gladiolus (Final Fantasy XV party member)|Gladiolus]] in the main game until the addition of [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Pain of the Vortex|Pain of the Vortex]] in patch 1.27. Other stronger greatswords can be found in the Chapter 15 optional dungeons, including the [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Apocalypse|Apocalypse]] found in the [[Balouve Mines]] maze and [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Duel Code|Duel Code]] found in the [[Daurell Caverns]] maze. Hyperion, Apocalypse and Duel Code all have unique conditions to boost their power beyond their Attack Power values. Hyperion gains +15% damage per additional enemy within 65 feet radius (max +100%). Apocalypse becomes stronger the less health the wielder has. Duel Code has a +50% damage boost to lone enemies within 65 feet radius. This means which deals the most damage is situational. Pain of the Vortex deals more damage for aerial attacks, but greatswords are ground-based weapons. It always deals critical hits like all "Vortex" weapons, but since greatswords' greatest boon is their strong [[link-strike]]s, with Critical: Link [[Ascension (Final Fantasy XV)|Ascension]] upgrade the other greatswords also rise to the task. [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Radiant Lance|Radiant Lance]] or [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Drain Lance III|Drain Lance III]] is the strongest spear in the main game for Noctis and [[Ignis (Final Fantasy XV party member)|Ignis]]. The Radiant Lance can be purchased at the Meldacio Hunter HQ or at Hammerhead in Chapter 14; it has the highest Strength rating of main-game spears, but is Light-elemental and thus deals weaker damage to non-[[Daemon (Final Fantasy XV)|daemon]] enemies. The Drain Lance III is obtained by giving Cid [[Treasures (Final Fantasy XV)#Coeurl Whisker|Coeurl Whiskers]] to upgrade the [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Drain Lance II|Drain Lance II]], which is obtained by using a [[Rusted Bit]] to upgrade the [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Drain Lance|Drain Lance]], which is itself obtained in Chapter 1; it is non-elemental, and thus deals more damage than the Radiant Lance unless the enemy takes neutral damage or greater from Light attacks. The strongest spear overall is [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Flayer|Flayer]], found in [[Steyliff Grove]] maze. [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Ulric's Kukris|Ulric's Kukris]] were the best daggers in the main game for Noctis and Ignis, obtained by returning to the opening area of [[Insomnia]] and defeating a level 85 [[psychomancer]]. [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Plumes of the Vortex|Plumes of the Vortex]] is the new best daggers added in patch 1.27. The previous best daggers were the [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Zwill Crossblade|Zwill Crossblades]], obtained in Chapter 15 from [[Randolph (Final Fantasy XV)|Randolph's]] quests that have great attack stat and the trait of dealing x1.8 damage when the wielder is at full health. Plumes of the Vortex always deal critical hits and x1.5 damage in aerial combat and can be used alongside royal arms without losing the damage boost. [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Abandon of the Vortex|Abandon of the Vortex]], added in patch 1.27, is the strongest gun, dealing boosted damage to vulnerable foes and breaking off enemy appendages with ease (though not as good as [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Cerberus|Cerberus]]), always dealing critical hits. The previous best gun was [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Death Penalty|Death Penalty]] that also has a small chance to inflict instant death. Shields are used as weapons. The best shield in the main game is [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Black Prince|Black Prince]], bought from [[Meldacio Hunter HQ]] and in Chapter 14. Even if the [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Power Shield|Power Shield]] has one point more Attack power, it does not have nearly as good stat boosts as the Black Prince. The best shield overall is the [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Ziedrich|Ziedrich]], obtained in Chapter 15 from Randolph's quests. The best machinery weapons are obtained by upgrading them with [[Cid Sophiar]], the best being [[Final Fantasy XV weapons#Drillbreaker Plus|Drillbreaker Plus]]. The royal arms are special weapons that drain Noctis's health when used as normal weapons and are used at once during [[Armiger]]. Equipping them bestows both status boosts and penalties, and thus their usefulness tends to be situational. === ''[[Final Fantasy XVI]]'' === Gotterdammerung is the strongest weapon during the first playthrough, and is attain through a lengthy process through forging. The materials for this requiring the player to acquire strong weapons such as Ragnarok and items from S rank notorious monsters. However Gotterdammerung will be overshadowed by weapons achieved during New game plus Final Fantasy Mode. When playing Final Fantasy Mode access to the games true Ultimate Weapon is available, Ultima Weapon. Just like Gotterdammerung it requires a lengthy process to attain including a reforge Gotterdammerung. ===''[[Final Fantasy Tactics]]''=== [[File:FFT Omnilex.gif|right|The Omnilex.]] The ultimate weapon in each weapon category is obtained exclusively in the [[PlayStation Portable]] [[Multiplayer]] modes, only a few able to be obtained during normal gameplay. Each weapon's ultimate weapon is listed below. In the mobile version, the extra items introduced in the PSP version obtained from the Melee and Rendezvous are unlocked after beating the game.

They all have attack power in the sixties or seventies. Each character's ultimate weapon is listed below: *[[Ace (Type-0)|Ace]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Black Trump|Black Trump]] (can inflict Instant Death) *[[Deuce]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Elysian Whistle|Elysian Whistle]] (provides all magic +60) *[[Trey]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Yoichi's Bow|Yoichi's Bow]] (can inflict Instant Death) *[[Cater]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#MTek-ZERO|MTek-ZERO]] *[[Cinque]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Thor's Hammer|Thor's Hammer]] *[[Sice]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Tezcatlipoca|Tezcatlipoca]] *[[Seven (Type-0)|Seven]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Brynhildr|Brynhildr]] *[[Eight]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Demon Fists|Demon Fists]] *[[Nine]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Lance of Longinus|Lance of Longinus]] *[[Jack (Type-0)|Jack]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Genji Blade|Genji Blade]] *[[Queen (Type-0)|Queen]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Celestial Saber|Celestial Saber]] *[[King (Type-0)|King]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Quicksilvers|Quicksilvers]] *[[Machina Kunagiri]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Twin Excaliburs|Twin Excaliburs]] *[[Rem Tokimiya]]: [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Orichalcum Dirks|Orichalcum Dirks]] The "second best" weapons are the ultimate weapons in a second playthrough as True Gilgamesh cannot be fought yet, but the [[difficulty level#Final Fantasy Type-0|Finis]] difficulty level is available. They cost 60,000 gil and become available in the [[Akademeia]] Armory shop after completing a specific [[Missions (Type-0)|mission]] in Finis difficulty. In the PSP version, they could also be unlocked by exchanging for 10 tickets on the Square Enix Members site. They have high attack power, not far behind the "true" ultimate weapons. *Ace's [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Crazy Eights|Crazy Eights]] is unlocked after completing [[Mission Under Ceasefire]] on Finis difficulty. *Deuce's [[Lamia's Flute]] is unlocked after completing [[Covering the Cadets]] in Finis difficulty. *Trey's [[Artemis Bow|Artemis' Bow]] is unlocked after completing [[The Retreat from Roshana]] on Finis difficulty. *Cater's [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Marvelous Shout|Marvelous Shout]] is unlocked after completing [[A Fog-Laden Foray]] on Finis difficulty. *Cinque's [[Seraphim's Mace|Seraphim Mace]] is unlocked after completing [[Operation MA Demolition (Type-0 mission)|Operation MA Demolition]] on Finis difficulty. *Sice's [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Shambhala|Shambhala]] is unlocked after completing [[The Clash in the Caverns]] on Finis difficulty. *Seven's [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Beastmaster|Beastmaster]] is unlocked after completing [[Operation Vulturnus]] on Finis difficulty. *Eight's [[Kaiser Knuckles]] are unlocked after completing [[The Infiltration of Iscah]] on Finis difficulty. *Nine's [[Kain's Lance (weapon)|Kain's Lance]] is unlocked after completing [[The Keziah Diversion]] on Finis difficulty. *Jack's [[Mutsunokami]] is unlocked after completing "[[Operation Breakthrough]]" on Finis difficulty. Raises Jack's HP by 30%. *Queen's [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Phantasmal Blade|Phantasmal Blade]] is unlocked after completing "[[Secret Agents Zero]]" on Finis difficulty. *King's [[Valkyrie (weapon)|Valkyries]] are unlocked after completing "[[The Last Line of Defense]]" on Finis difficulty. *Machina's [[Final Fantasy Type-0 weapons#Dreadnaughts|Dreadnaughts]] are unlocked after "[[Machina's Struggle]]" on Finis difficulty. Can inflict Instant Death. *Rem's [[Assassin's Dagger (weapon)|Assassin's Daggers]] are unlocked after completing [[United Front]] on Finis difficulty. Can inflict Instant Death. In a first playthrough, the best weapons the player can get become available in the SPP Post after landing 300 [[Killsight]] strikes with a character. These weapons also provide [[EXP bonus abilities|double EXP]]. === ''[[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest]]'' === The statistically strongest weapon obtained by [[Benjamin]] is the [[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest weapons#Excalibur|Excalibur]], with an attack power of 125 and a Speed boost of 5. The strongest weapons of the other weapon types remain useful depending on the enemy: the [[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest weapons#Giant's Axe|Giant's Axe]] and [[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest weapons#Mega Grenade|Mega Grenade]] do increased damage against specific enemies, with the Mega Grenade also hitting all enemies in battle; and the [[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest weapons#Dragon Claw|Dragon Claw]] can inflict a variety of ailments upon hitting, including [[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest statuses#Petrify|Petrify]] and [[Final Fantasy Mystic Quest statuses#Fatal|Fatal]] for a one-hit defeat. === ''[[Vagrant Story]]'' === [[File:VagrantStory-HolyWin.png|right|thumb|150px|The Holy Win.]] While most ultimate weapons are gained through forging them at workshops, certain categories will have a few variants of their ultimate weapon, these variants gained through only defeating various enemies bearing the weapon, and boasting stats that are up to the player to decide which is best for them. The kind of material the weapon is made of plays a great part, with Damascus weapons bearing the strongest properties. The Jamadhar is the ultimate dagger-type weapon, gained by forging two Stilettos. The Wakazashi is the ultimate forged sword-type weapon, gained through combining two Kophesh blades. The Rhomphaia is the ultimate dropped sword, dropped in Hagane, Silver, and Damascus variations by Dark Crusaders in the [[Iron Maiden (Vagrant Story)|Iron Maiden]] dungeon. The Rune Sword is the ultimate forged greatsword-type weapon, gained through combining two Nodachi blades. The Holy Win is the ultimate dropped greatsword, dropped by the Last Crusader in the Iron Maiden dungeon. The War Maul is the ultimate mace-type weapon, gained through combining two Bec de Corbin blades, while the Crescent is the ultimate Axe-type weapon, gained through combining two Bullova blades. The Halberd is the ultimate axe-type weapon, gained through combining two Double Blades. The Destroyer is the ultimate forged great mace-type weapon, made through combining two Griever blades, while the Hand of Light is the ultimate dropped great mace, dropped by Minotaurs in Bronze, Iron, and Hagane variations throughout certain rooms in Lea Monde late in the game. The Hand of Light is the only weapon whose material cannot possibly achieve Damascus status due its size value, which overrides any weapon's material attributes in the forging process lower than its own, thus making it virtually impossible without the use of a cheat device. The Brandestoc is the ultimate polearm-type weapon, gained through combining two Bardysh blades. The Arbalest is the ultimate bow-type weapon, gained through combining two Siege Bow blades. The Sage Cane is the ultimate staff-type weapon, gained through combining two Bishop's Crosier blades. The ultimate material, Damascus, can only be gained through combining weapons with Holy Win or Rhomphaia dropped from the Iron Maiden, carefully crafting weapons made from the material into its ultimate weapon form, or carefully crafting various weapons from lesser materials and certain categories into Damascus, with the exception of the Hand of Light. The material provides an excellent Damage Points pool, the highest stat boosts to any equipment, and a high and even Affinity rating to all enemy types, at the tradeoff of a low Phantom Points pool. === ''[[Final Fantasy Adventure]]'' === The [[Final Fantasy Adventure weapons#XCalibr|XCalibr]] is [[Sumo]]'s strongest weapon. It has an attack power of 85 and cannot be sold. It is automatically obtained near the end of the [[Final dungeon (term)|final dungeon]], making that location the only place it can be used. === ''[[The Final Fantasy Legend]]'' === The most powerful weapon is [[The Final Fantasy Legend weapons#Glass|Glass]]. This extremely powerful sword breaks after every [[Use (stat)|use]] in the Japanese version. For North American version, the sword was given 50 uses before it would break. It can be found in the [[Tower (Legend)|Tower]] on the 21st floor. ===''[[Final Fantasy Legend II]]''=== [[File:FFLII Katana In-battle Sprite.png|right]] The ultimate weapon is called [[Nanatsusayanotachi|Seven]] and it has a sword icon before its name. The sword has 7 [[Use (stat)|use]] and also increases a [[Robot (Legend series)|Robot's]] HP by 144. The damage formula is the user's [[Strength|Str]] x15. The user will attack up to 7 times, depending on [[Speed (stat)|Agl]] against one [[Group-cast|group]]. It [[Item drop|drops]] from [[Final Fantasy Legend II enemies#Haniwa|Haniwa]] (rare) located in the [[Central Shrine]]. Haniwa appears rarely and randomly in lowest area of the shrine. Haniwa functions as a [[superboss]] similar to [[Warmech (Final Fantasy)|Warmech]] from the original ''Final Fantasy'', in that it appears rarely and randomly in a certain area, which happens to be the final area. It's a very dangerous enemy, but is arguably not as powerful as the final boss. It has a chance of dropping the sword, which Haniwa will occasionally use against the party during battle, and it will deal damage in the high thousands. === ''[[Final Fantasy Legend III]]'' === {{See|Mystic Sword (Legend III)}} There are four swords known as "Mystic Swords": [[Final Fantasy Legend III weapons#Durend|Durend]], [[Final Fantasy Legend III weapons#Xcalibr|Xcalibr]], [[Final Fantasy Legend III weapons#Masmune|Masmune]], and [[Final Fantasy Legend III weapons#Emperor|Emperor]]. They can be found across Pureland and deal double damage against certain bosses and [[undead]] enemies. They can harm even enemies who are strong against [[Physical (element)|physical damage]]. === ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy (2008)|Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' (2008) === Each character has an exclusive level 100 weapon, with the exception of [[Cecil Harvey (Dissidia PSP)|Cecil]], who has two. While these weapons are given the "exclusive" classification, they are based on other weapon types in terms of offered stats, such as [[Firion (Dissidia PSP)|Firion's]] weapons giving a penalty to Defense in the manner of spears. The level 100 weapons thus have stats equal to or surpassing the other strongest weapons in their category. They also bear additional stat boosts and a support ability that increases the likelihood of critical hits in different circumstances. As allusions to the character's home title, the level 100 weapons are often named after their strongest weapon in their original game, or refer to them in some way, such as [[Kefka Palazzo (Dissidia PSP)|Kefka's]] weapon being named [[Dancing Mad (weapon)|Dancing Mad]] after his [[Dancing Mad (theme)|final boss theme]]. These level 100 weapons can only be traded for in the [[Shop (Dissidia)|shop]] in a three-stage series of exchanges. Each character has three exclusive weapons, the other two approximately level 50 and level 90. Acquiring the level 100 weapon involves trading the level 90 weapon and other trade items, and getting the level 90 weapon needs the level 50 weapon. The level 50 weapons can be traded for with a variety of generic equipment. A handful also demand unique level 1 weapons exclusive to their character, such as [[Cloud Strife (Dissidia PSP)|Cloud's]] [[Buster Sword]]. The Ultimate Weapon also exists as a special level 99 weapon. The only equipment piece able to be equipped by all characters, the Ultima Weapon has +69 ATK, the highest in the game outside the exclusive weapons and the level 100 axes, and has a unique effect that grants the user +2 to ATK, DEF, and LUK when they are at full HP. This effective boost of +71 ATK is the highest of any weapon. ==== ''[[Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]]'' ==== Each character once again has three exclusive weapons that must be traded for in sequence, from level 30 to level 90, to level 100. Some characters also have level 1 exclusive weapons needed for their level 30 weapons. [[Lightning (Dissidia PSP)|Lightning]] and Cecil have two level 100 weapons. The individual stats of returning weapons are rebalanced. The Ultima Weapon also returns as a level 100 weapon and +68 ATK. It bears the same effects as before, but other weapons have innately higher ATK boosts with other stat modifiers, so its power is comparatively less than the original game. == Gallery == <gallery> FF5-AssassinDagger-Field.png|Assassin Dagger in ''[[Final Fantasy V]]''.
