Unleash Ultimate Power: Mastering the Quest for Final Fantasy 16's Ultima Weapon

The Ultima Weapon, boasting impressive Attack and Stagger stats, holds the title of the best sword in Final Fantasy 16. While it is not mandatory, players aiming to maximize Clive's potential should dedicate efforts to obtain this weapon. This comprehensive guide provides the necessary information on acquiring the coveted Ultima Weapon in Final Fantasy 16.

It is important to note that the Ultima Weapon can only be obtained when playing on Final Fantasy Mode, a difficulty setting exclusive to New Game + playthroughs. As a result, it is unattainable in the initial playthrough, which may disappoint some fans. However, there is a viable alternative during first playthroughs – FF16's Gotterdammerung – a considerably formidable weapon that is relatively easy to acquire.

Final Fantasy 16: How to Get Ultima Weapon

To acquire the Ultima Weapon, players need to forge it through the fusion of three specific items: Utterance of Creation, Everdark Reforged, and Gotterdammerung Reforged. We will now provide you with comprehensive instructions on how to obtain each of these items. Once you possess all three, head to the Black Hammer and fashion the Ultima Weapon using these components.

Utterance of Creation

Players will automatically receive the Utterance of Creation upon starting a NG+ playthrough of FF16 on Final Fantasy Mode.

Everdark Reforged

To acquire this sword in their NG+ playthroughs, players must embark on a weapon chain that originates with the creation of the Stormcry Reforged. To initiate this chain, fans can begin by obtaining the Wind Shard from Garuda in Final Fantasy Mode. As they progressively overcome story bosses, the weapon will undergo a series of transformations. Ultimately, this journey culminates in the attainment of the Everdark Reforged, which requires the acquisition of the Flawless Dark Shard from Barnabas.

Gotterdammerung Reforged

To earn Gotterdammerung Reforged, players must first unlock its Design Draft by completing the Blacksmith's Blues I - IV side quests in FF16. These side quests become available after starting the Here Be Monsters main quest. As a reward for completing these quests, players will also receive the Ragnarok Reforged sword, which will be used in the crafting of Gotterdammerung Reforged.

Once the Gotterdammerung Design Draft is unlocked, players can focus on obtaining the required materials. Specifically, fans will need three Orichalcum, two Flawless Darksteel, and one Flawless Battlehorn. Here are the locations where these materials can be found:
