The Ultimate Arsenal Revealed: Unveiling Clive's Top Weaponry in Final Fantasy 16

Content:

Final Fantasy 16 offers a variety of weapons, but not all are created equal. Unlike certain other games in the Final Fantasy series, such as Final Fantasy 7 Remake, the weapons in Final Fantasy 16 lack unique attributes. This means that the determining factor in choosing the best weapon comes down to its stats.

Consequently, identifying the superior weapons in Final Fantasy 16 is straightforward. However, acquiring them can often prove to be a more arduous task. Some weapons are obtained through the main storyline or by completing side quests, while others require rare materials for crafting.

How to Get the Everdark in Final Fantasy 16

Final Fantasy 16 players have the opportunity to acquire a range of Eikonic blades, in addition to their regular arsenal. These blades are skillfully crafted using elemental shards obtained from defeating certain powerful creatures known as Eikons. Among these blades, the Everdark stands out as the ultimate weapon, boasting an astounding Attack stat of 315. This makes it one of the most formidable swords available in FF16. However, players who choose to engage in the challenging Final Fantasy mode have the chance to further enhance the Everdark's capabilities. By utilizing Flawless materials, players can reforge the Everdark, significantly increasing its Attack and Break stats to an impressive 565.

Defender

In order to create the Everdark, players must obtain a Dark Shard from Barnabas, the final boss in the "The Last King" main story mission. They will also need eight Meteorites, 400 Sharp Fangs, and possess the Icebrand, the previous Eikonic Weapon. Upon gathering all these necessary items, players can start crafting the Everdark at the beginning of the "Brotherhood" main story mission.

	Ragnarok	325	325
	Ragnarok Reforged	575	575

In Final Fantasy 16, the renowned weapon Ragnarok proves to be an impressive choice with its staggering Attack stat of 325. Although it may eventually be surpassed by other weapons, obtaining Ragnarok early on guarantees that players will have a formidable weapon for a significant portion of the game. Moreover, it is essential for the creation of an even more powerful weapon, making it a crucial item to hunt down. In New Game Plus mode, players will be rewarded with Ragnarok Reforged instead, elevating the blade's Attack and Break stats to a remarkable 575.

Obtaining the powerful weapon Ragnarok is one of the rewards for successfully finishing the side quest "Blacksmith's Blues IV". This quest becomes accessible upon beginning the main story mission "Across the Narrow". It is important to note that players must have already completed the initial three sections of the "Blacksmith's Blues" questline in order to trigger the fourth part.

	Defender	320	320
	Defender +1	330	330
	Defender +2	340	340
	Defender +3	570	570
	Defender +4	580	580
	Defender +5	590	590

The Defender, crafted or purchased using common materials, is the final weapon in the main story progression. Despite its seeming disadvantage, it actually ranks as the second-best weapon in Final Fantasy 16, at least until New Game Plus mode. During a regular playthrough, it can be upgraded twice, boosting its Attack and Break stats to 340. However, in Final Fantasy mode, it unlocks three new forms, and the +5 version of the Defender boasts exceptional stats of 590 across the board.

Players can acquire the Defender by purchasing it for 5,000 Gil from Goetz's Toll during the "Streets of Madness" main story mission. Upon successfully accomplishing the mission, the Defender becomes available for purchase from various other merchants. Additionally, players have the option to craft and enhance the Defender at the Black Hammer.

Ultima Weapon

		Attack	Break
	Gotterdammerung	375	375
	Gotterdammerung Reforged	625	625

The Gotterdammerung stands out as the superior sword in Final Fantasy 16 during a standard playthrough. With its stats surpassing those of its closest rival by over 10%, it becomes the obvious choice for players seeking a formidable weapon to defeat Ultima. Upon being Reforged, its stats increase from 375 to an impressive 625, making it an exceptionally capable weapon even in New Game Plus mode.

Upon obtaining the Ragnarok, players will also receive the necessary Design Draft for the Gotterdammerung. To successfully craft this formidable weapon, three pieces of Orichalcum, two pieces of Darksteel, and a Primitive Battlehorn are required. Defeating the Gobermouch Notorious Mark will yield the much-needed Battlehorn, while both the Prince of Death and Thanatos enemies drop Darksteel. As for Orichalcum, players can either acquire it through specific side quests or by participating in hunts targeting the Atlas, Svarog, Gorgimera, and Behemoth King Notorious Marks.

When it comes to a New Game Plus playthrough of Final Fantasy 16, there are only a few notable distinctions from a regular run. However, these differences carry significant weight, with Ultima Weapon emerging as the standout. This exclusive blade, available only in Final Fantasy mode, effortlessly outshines all other swords in the game. Boasting an unmatched Attack and Break stats of 700, Ultima Weapon unequivocally reigns as the ultimate weapon in Final Fantasy 16.

In order to obtain the Ultima Weapon in Final Fantasy mode, players must play in New Game Plus mode. To craft the weapon, players will need the Utterance of Creation, the Everdark Reforged, and the Gotterdammerung Reforged. The Utterance of Creation is obtained after defeating Ultima during the player's first playthrough, while the Reforged versions of the two blades require Flawless variants of certain crafting materials. Final Fantasy 16 is currently only available for the PlayStation 5.
