Deathbringer

In Special Op. Sector 5, which is west of the Gate Crystal, run past the
Silicon Tortoise and keep going until you see a rock on the right side of the
tracks. On the far side of that rock there will be a chest. If there are two
of them, the silver-looking one is Ithuno. If the silver chest is not there,
reload your game. Examine the silver chest to provoke Ithuno. Let it chase
you all the way back to the entrance of Special Op. Sector 5. At this point,
just keep stealing until you get a Deathbringer. If you need to heal, go back
one screen and heal before returning (Ithuno will still be there, like the
Lindbur Wolf). Don't move back two screens or you will reset the area. Once
you've obtained your Deathbringer, head back to the Gate Crystal and save
your game. Now quit and reload. Repeat the entire process if you want another
one. Rinse and repeat as many times as you like.

Zodiac Spears (Chest)

Run through Mosphoran and into the Salikawood. Head straight for
the Gate Crystal at Quietened Trace. Save your game. The Bomb King is one
screen away from you. Put on your game face and head north. The Bomb King will
start out with some minions, so get rid of those first. However, once you've
done so, pull back out to the crystal. The little ones won't be there when you
go back.

Kill the Bomb King. This is easier said than done, but you should be able to do
it with the help of Kotetsus, Demonsbanes, and your Francisca. Equip as many
of those as you can. As far as your characters go, make sure that you have at
least four characters that know MQs. This shouldn't be an issue by now, but it's
the bare minimum if you want to be safe, and for those four, it is preferred
that at least three of them have attained their Level 2 MQs.

Once your characters are set up, rush in. Hack away at the Bomb King until it
starts to call for help (reviving the little Bombs). This usually happens with
50% to 60% of its health remaining. When you see this, immediately start your
MQs. Sometimes your chain won't kill it immediately. If this happens, you must
not allow the Bomb King to stick around for much longer, since it will cast
Renew to heal itself completely, so swap out one character for your fourth
character with MQs and start another chain, hopefully one that will do enough
damage to finish it off. Obviously, if you have more characters with MQs, you
can repeat this process up to two more times.

Retreat to the save point again and rotate all of your characters around so
that every single one of them has an active Libra/Protect/Shell. Save your game.
Now, reform your party so that it has only one member.

Run through where the Bomb King previously stood and take the left branch. Keep
heading west and you will enter the Necrohol of Nabudis. This area is filled
with deadly traps and difficult enemies. With your level of equipment, it is
stupid to pick fights in here. That's not why we came, anyway.
Avoid all traps and run from all the enemies. In the first area, keep heading
west while searching for the exit. This is the hardest area to get through,
since Baknamys are extremely aggressive. When you lose a character (and you
will), swap out another one, but ONLY one. This guarantees maximal
survivability. Once you reach the second area, stop to revive, heal, and
recast Libra/Protect/Shell on everyone. Keep running, this time heading
northeast. Eventually you will reach Cloister of the Highborn, the central
area and home to what is for the most part the strongest weapon in the game.

Make a right from where you come in and then the next left. You should be
heading down a corridor heading north. Take the first left; this room should
have sixteen treasure chests in it if you left the right chests alone earlier
in the game. The Zodiac Spear is in the second chest from the left in the row
closest to you as you enter the room. You will likely have Elvorets on your
tail, so grab the weapon and get out of there. Backtrack through the first
two areas and exit out to the Salikawood. Make your way all the back to the
Gate Crystal. Congratulations!

Note :
if u want this weapon avoid the following chest (don't open it)

1. At the southern end of Rabanastre Lowtown, do not open the chest that
sits in front of Old Dalan's house.
2. In the Rabanastre Palace Cellar, do not open the treasure chest(s) that
sit in the southeast corner of the map. There are either one or two
chests that may appear there. Do not open anything in either case. To be
specific, do not open the chest with the Elixir in it (on your left as
you approach the southeast corner), but that chest is not guaranteed to
show up. Just play it safe and don't open anything you see in the
southeast.
3. In the Nalbina Dungeons, do not open any of the treasure chests that
appear in the room where you get the map for the area and regain your
equipment (Confiscatory).
4. At the eastern-most section of the Phon Coast (Vaddu Strand), do not open
any of the 16 chests that are there. This step is irrelevant, because if
you are going to follow the walkthrough in this guide, you will obtain
the spear way before you ever reach the Phon Coast.

Demonsbane

Head to the Tomb of Raithwall. Kill both Demon Walls. They should be easy with
your equipment. Activate the side stairs in the area of the first Demon Wall by
examining the area where the Demon Wall was and then save your game outside at
the Gate Crystal. Time for another weapon.

Now take those stairs you opened up all the way to the back. Once you reach
Royal Passage, go all the way down until the two paths converge. There is a
70% chance that there will be a chest here. If there is, there will be a
22.5% chance that it holds one Demonsbane. You can fight through all of the
Tallows, or just grab the chest and run. If the chest isn't there or if you
don't get the sword, reload your game and try again. If you run out of
patience, then don't worry about it. The Demonsbane is merely temporary and
will become obsolete once we get out of Raithwall. However, the fun part is
that the chest respawns, so you can grab the Demonsbane, run back to the
save point, save, reload, and try your luck again ad infinitum/nauseum.

Kotetsu

Kotetsu
~~~~~~~
Stats: +50 katana
Method: Rare drop from Werewolf - Giza Plains, Starfall Fields

Save your game at Giza Plains, Crystal Glade. Head west and you'll find
two Werewolves stalking around in the southwestern corner. They are weak to wind.
Perfect! Go to town on them with your Gladius. You can chain them by heading two
screens east (don't touch the save point) and returning. You'll likely
also build up a few more levels this way.

The Werewolves aren't pushovers, though, even with the Gladius. You can buy
Protect from Nalbina (thanks for the reminder from prinnypayday@yahoo.com) to
help you move things along. If things get really rough, consider investing
some LP into a Mist Quickening (MQ). A few Red Spirals should be all you need
as a desperation move.

Gladius (For Early Leveling)

Stats: +45 dagger, Windstrike
Method: Steal from Lindbur Wolf - Dalmasca Westersand, Shimmering Horizons


Chain more than 20 Wolves in the Westersand and head to Shimmering Horizons.  Lindbur Wolf will be here with a few lackeys. Equip the Leather Shield.  Repeatedly cast Blind on the Lindbur Wolf until it connects. It should almost never be able to hit you now. Get rid of the small fry and steal from Lindbur Wolf until you obtain the Gladius.

The Wyrmhero Blade (The Best Sword)

The 'best' sword in the game, but more of a slower, more powerful Excalibur.
This is pretty much a trophy and won't be used much if you get it, since it has
the slowest attack rate of anything in the game. Anyway, it is:

Sword (2H)                     Element: Holy
Attack: 130
Evasion: 50

To get it, sell 1 Omega Badge, 1 Godslayer's Badge, and 1 Lu Shang's Badge. Basically you need those 3 things, sell them to the Bazaar, and buy the blade for 65000 Gil. Get them like this:

- The Omega Badge is received after beating the optional boss, Omega Mk. XII. He is located in the depths of the Great Crystal. Check out this map:

Crystal Grande

That should guide you nicely. If you need help navigating, I'm gunna copy and paste my walkthru of getting the Zodiac Estucheon here, since its relatively the same path. First, look up at the Excalibur section, and proceed to the platform where the Excalibur is/was. Then...

Assuming youre at the Excalibur platform and looking at the Great Crystal map noted above, return all the way to Waystone (WS) XIV. Head NE once to the Leo Gate Stone, touch it, and return to WS XIV. Now go SW to the first platform, North to the next, NE to the next. Now go
NW (*not* to the Excalibur platform) to the next area. Go down the only path accessible and open the Leo Gate. Go North 2 screens to WS XV.

Touching that, it takes you to WS XVI. This is the very confusing part, so refer to the map often. Head North to the Libra Gate Stone and touch it. Now move West to open Libra Gate II (L2 on the map). Go South a ways to the Capricorn Gate Stone and touch it. Now backtrack all the way to WS XVI, head East once and open Capricorn Gate I (C1). Proceed forward
and touch the Virgo Gate Stone. Now backtrack back to the Libra Gate Stone, dont touch it, and go NE once. You should now be on the platform with 2 Gates. Open the Virgo Gate II (V2) which should be on your left. Proceed through and North a platform or two to reach WS XVII. Touch it.
Youll be at WS XVIII. North once is a Save Crystal. Use that, then go NW to the Aquarius Gate Stone. Touch that and backtrack to WS XVIII, touch it, and return to WS XVII. Go back many platforms until you reach the platform just BEFORE the Capricorn Gate Stone. Instead of going there, go West and open the Aquarius Gate I (A1). Now backtrack to the Capricorn Gate Stone again, touch that, and go all the way past Libra Gate Stone to the platform with V2 and C2. Open Capricorn Gate II (C2). Now backtrack to where we just opened Aquarius Gate I (A1) and continue forward to the Taurus Gate Stone. Touch that and backtrack to the Libra Gate Stone,
forward through where Capricorn Gate II used to be, and East one platform. Open Taurus Gate I (as opposed to Taurus II, in the Zodiac Estucheon case) and go to WS XXI. Now just keep touching Waystones and you'll arive at Omega. I might post a guide on him later, for now just google him if you need help.


- The Godslayer's Badge is received after beating the Yiazmat mark. He is arguably the strogset monster in the game, with 50 million HP. Killing him in 2 hours time is considered extremely fast. To unlock Yiazmat, first kill Hellwyrm. Then Montblanc will allow you to take on Yiazmat. Again, I might post a guide at some point, just Google him.


- The Lu Shang's Badge is the last item and you get it from the fishing minigame. unlock the Den of the River Lord. Catch the Riverlord fish to get this item. The secret to this is memorizing the *last 3 keys* in any given combination. Once you familiarize yourself with the last 3 combos, you can do this much faster. Because you'll take some time with the first 3 keys, then once you get to the familiar last 3, you can push those out quickly to save yourself. For example, one combination of the last 3 is L1 - X - R1. This is a simple sweeping motion from left to right, obviously, and once you realize that it's this combo, you can pull it off quickly.

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.
