The Ultimate Guide to Acquiring the Legendary Gotterdammerung Sword in Final Fantasy 16 (Half Past Twilight Trophy)!

In Final Fantasy 16, players will come across numerous swords. While Clive possesses the ability to battle proficiently with any blade, they will encounter tougher enemies as they progress. Dealing damage and staggering these enemies becomes more challenging. The latter encounters can prove to be especially difficult, prompting players to equip Clive with the finest weapon available for the ultimate showdown.

In the first playthrough of Final Fantasy 16, there exists a supreme sword that surpasses all others. Its power is so extraordinary that it even rewards players with an achievement of its own. To attain all possible trophies and maximize damage output outside of Final Fantasy Mode, acquiring the Gotterdammerung and its associated achievement, "Half Past Twilight," is essential. Here is how you can unlock the Gotterdammerung in Final Fantasy 16.

Prerequisites For The Gotterdammerung In Final Fantasy 16

Before players can actually snag the Gotterdammerung for themselves, they'll need to ensure they have fulfilled certain prerequisites. This is because gamers can only gain access to the Gotterdammerung blueprints after successfully completing the Blacksmith Blues IV sidequest later on in Clive's adventure. Regrettably, access to Blacksmith Blues IV is only attainable once the other three sidequests have been completed. Below is a breakdown of when each of these sidequests becomes available and the steps players can take to initiate them:

How To Craft The Gotterdammerung In Final Fantasy 16

Acquiring the Gotterdammerung Design Draft marks just one step on the path to obtaining the Gotterdammerung and achieving the Half Past Twilight Trophy. Players must additionally procure the necessary materials, which involves vanquishing some of the most formidable foes in the entire game. Below is the recipe required for crafting the Gotterdammerung:

The players who have already completed Blacksmith Blues IV can mark the Ragnarok sword off their list. Moving on, they will be required to obtain a minimum of three pieces of Orichalcum. This elusive material can only be obtained as a reward for defeating specific notorious marks, which include:

The Breaker Of Worlds (Atlas)

Ruin Reawakened (Svarog)

The Tricephalic Terror (Gorgimera)

The Masterless Marauder (Behemoth King)

Defeating each of these infamous enemies will yield one Orichalcum. Therefore, players must vanquish a minimum of three of them to obtain the required quantity. Subsequently, players must turn their attention to acquiring Darksteel, which can only be obtained by hunting down two specific Notorious Marks. Darksteel can be obtained from the following enemies:

1. The Grim Reaper (Prince of Death)

Acquiring the Usher to the Underworld (Thanatos) requires players to obtain the two Darksteel and the elusive Primitive Battlehorn. Unfortunately, the only way to obtain the Primitive Battlehorn is by defeating the formidable Gobermouch, yet another formidable Notorious Mark.

After obtaining all the necessary materials, players can conveniently visit Blackthorne in the Hideaway to forge the formidable Gotterdammerung. This achievement grants them the Half Past Twilight trophy and rewards Clive with the most powerful sword in the initial playthrough (excluding the Final Fantasy mode).
