These items can be incredibly valuable, making it important for players to ensure they acquire each one during their playthrough. To learn more about these items and their locations, continue reading.

7 Treasure Map

Players seeking to accumulate Gil quickly and easily should take note of a hidden chest. While there are numerous methods for earning Gil, this particular treasure chest offers a substantial boost of 100,000 Gil through simple exploration. Located within the Kingdom of Waloed, players can find this hidden chest at the North-West edge of the map near the Great Southern Gate, where enemies and a corpse can be found alongside an item.

This item, known as the Treasure Map, provides guidance to The Dhalmekian Republic. Along the southern path near Titan's Wake, players will encounter more enemies and stumble upon a camp containing a chest. Opening this chest will reward players with an item named "One Man's Treasure," which can be sold to a merchant for a value of 100,000 Gil.

6 Demontamer's Sache

The Demontamer's Sache is a rare belt that possesses decent defensive statistics, making it a desirable acquisition for players. To obtain this item, players should journey towards the Royal Meadows within The Royal Empire of Sanbreque. Once they reach Baywatch, they will come across a chest and encounter adversaries.

Curiously, some players have reported discovering the Demontamer's Sache at another location. The alternative method involves venturing towards The Gran Duchy of Rosaria. In The Audhyl Docks, there exists a shed near the water, containing a chest that harbors the coveted belt. Regardless of the chosen path, possessing this item proves advantageous in ensuring the player's survival throughout their travels.

5 Ouroboros

Towards the end of the game, players should exercise caution when selling crafting ingredients as some of them are rare. Without these ingredients, players may not be able to craft the game's best items. The Ouroboros belt is one such item that requires careful consideration. Boasting 95 Defense and 32 Health, it is arguably one of the finest belts available.

To acquire the Ouroboros belt, players must successfully complete the third quest in the "Blacksmith's Blues" Quest chain. Upon completion, players will be rewarded with the crafting design draft. Additionally, players will need to obtain a Stone Tongue, a Comet Feather, and a piece of Orichalcum. Orichalcum can be obtained through various Notorious Mark Hunts, while the Tongue and Feather can be acquired from the Agni and Dread Comet Hunts. Armed with these ingredients and the design draft, players can then craft this exceptional item.

4 Coral Sword

Some of the collectible items in Final Fantasy 16, such as the Curiosities, have minimal impact on the player's game experience. However, the swords that can be easily missed hold significant power and can greatly impact combat. Among the must-have weapons is the highly coveted Coral Sword.

This exceptional sword can be acquired during the main quest titled "The Crystal's Curse" after triumphing over the Akashic Champion. Close by, a wooden barrier awaits to be demolished, revealing a hidden path. By venturing towards the right side of the metal grate, players will come across a treasure chest containing the illustrious Coral Sword. Boasting an impressive Attack and Stagger of 185, this exquisite weapon is absolutely worth obtaining.

3 Ancient Sword

To enhance players' combat effectiveness, aside from equipping appropriate accessories, upgrading their current sword is highly recommended. The Ancient Sword, boasting an impressive Attack and Stagger rating of 252, can be obtained from a chest located in The Dhalmekian Republic. Players should make their way to The Steps of the Forgotten and search for the chest on the ground between Mekith and Laetny's Hoard to acquire the Ancient Sword.

2 Masamune

The Masamune is a beloved weapon in the Final Fantasy franchise, appearing in almost every game in the series. It continues to maintain its reputation as a formidable weapon in Final Fantasy 16, boasting an attack power of 310 and the ability to stagger enemies. Its design is particularly notable, resembling a large katana.

To acquire this legendary weapon, players must journey to The Kingdom of Waloed and seek out the small path south of The Angry Gap. Upon defeating a group of enemies and unlocking the nearby chest, the Masamune can be equipped. With its impressive stats and distinctive appearance, this is a weapon that players should definitely not overlook.

1 Gotterdammerung

The most formidable sword players can acquire during their initial playthrough of Final Fantasy 16 is the Gotterdammerung. Apart from its unique appearance and peculiar name, it garners attention with its 375 Attack and Stagger stats. However, obtaining this extraordinary blade involves gathering some exceptionally rare crafting materials that players should refrain from selling, as doing so may impede their ability to craft this incredible weapon.

To obtain the Gotterdammerung, as well as the accompanying trophy, players must complete the Blacksmith's Blues questline. This will reward them with the Design Draft and the Ragnarok Sword. Subsequently, players must procure three pieces of Orichalcum, two pieces of Darksteel, and a Primitive Battlehorn. These coveted materials can be obtained from various Notorious Marks, with Darksteel dropped by Thanatos and The Prince of Death, and the Primitive Battlehorn obtainable from the Gobermouch. Once in possession of all the required ingredients, players will be able to forge the most powerful weapon in the entire game.

Final Fantasy 16 is available now for the PS5.
