The Masamune (Strongest Katana in the Game)
The Masamune is the best Samurai Katana you can get in the game. It is really good
and in addition to crazy damage, it has a 40% combo rate! And 70% if you use its
partner, the Genji Gloves! So, the Masamune is:
Katana (2H) Element: none
Attack: 93 Combo Rate: 40%
Evasion: 5
Sweet. It's possible to get TWO Masamune in the game. One from Gilgamesh and another if you make it. If you havent gotten the Tournesol yet, you can overlap the Gemsteels to get it. It requires 2 Mallets, 3 Orichalcum, and 2 Gemsteel.
we need 3 ingredients. Remember doing the Tournesol? Well here we go again. You gotta get 2 Mallets, 3 Orichalcum, and 2 Gemsteel. And 350,000 Gil.
- For the Mallets, we can get these from a rare game. Named Bombshell. Firstly, go defeat the Antlion Hunt and youll get a nice Site 3 key. Now head over to Phon Coast and search northern Hunter's Camp. Next to the dude that fell from Bhujerba is the Site 11 key. Got that, now head to Lhusu Mines/Lasche Span, which is in the deep Western area of the Mines (read up on Gilgamesh). Now look, theres a 20% chance he'll be here. If not, go one area away and return. Steal from him till you get a Mallet, then run TWO areas away. Return. Steal. The Mallet also drops from Purobolos enemies in the Pharos. Also, you'll prolly have 1 already from Montblanc (the Clan moogle) for killing King Bomb. So just do this once.
- Now for the Orichalcum. Go to Pharos/First Ascent. Look around for 10 Deidars and kill them. Now go to floor 48F and Vishno will be where the Aeronite was. Steal. You might get a Damascus Steel. Once you steal something, run 2 areas away to reset the Steal. Go back and repeat, etc. Ironically, these things also drop from Deidars themselves, so you can try chaining them if you want. Or Poach them.
- Gemsteel time. You need 2, but you should have one from the clan (for having 8 Espers). Then you only need one. The Gemsteel itself is comprised of 2 Damascus Steel (you might have some from Stealing from Vishno), 1 Scarletite, and 2 Hell-Gate Flames. For this and more, look above at Section Vb. Now you just need to sell ALL this everything to get it.
Ok, sell the Gemsteel ingredients for ONE GEMSTEEL per time. Assuming youre making 2 (even though you should have one from the Clan for 8 Espers). Then simply sell the rest of the ingredients to unlock the Masamune, and buy it for 350k Gil.
Now, if you want to do this and get the Tournesol too, sell in this order:
- 3 Empyreal Soul
- 3 Serpentarius
- 2 Mallet
- 3 Orichalcum
- 3 Gemsteel
Now both the Masamune and the Tournesol will be unlocked.
