Description
The Apocalypse is Terra's exclusive weapon gained by defeating the new Red Dragon in the Dragons' Den.

If the player bets the Apocalypse in the Dragon's Neck Coliseum, they will be pit against a Fiend Dragon, and winning will reward the Save the Queen. Likewise, the Apocalypse can be won from the Dragon's Neck Coliseum by betting the Save the Queen and then defeating the Brachiosaur.
Final Fantasy VII
Template:Sideicon The Apocalypse is Cloud's sword. It is found after the player completes the Ancient Forest puzzle. Though the weapon has just three single Materia slots, it has triple the standard AP growth rate, making it the second best Materia leveling weapon in the game. It grants 88 Attack, 110 Hit Rate, +43 Magic, and +16 Spirit.
Final Fantasy X
Template:Sideicon Any of Tidus's swords can be customized into the Apocalypse if it bears four Status Strike abilities.
Final Fantasy XI
Template:Sideicon The Apocalypse is the primary Relic Weapon of the Dark Knight Job, available only to level 75 Dark Knights after having completed an immensely lengthy and expensive quest (often taking months of time, hundreds of millions of gil, and the full assistance of an entire linkshell community to obtain difficult Dynamis drop items). It is in fact not a greatsword, but actually a large golden scythe.
It is widely recognized amongst the endgame community as one of the most powerful weapons in the game, and is hands-down the strongest weapon available to the Dark Knight class, making the Job a viable front-line fighter in endgame events such as Einherjar, because of the unique way in which it grants the Haste effect to its owner and drains HP from enemies. Of particular note, the Apocalypse has the highest base damage level of any non-ranged weapon in the game, with 103.
Final Fantasy XIII
Template:Sideicon
Sacrificing mobility for power, this imposing blade was utilized during the War of Transgression.
In-game description.
The Apocalypse is a model of a gunblade for Lightning obtained by transmuting Organyx with a Cobaltite. It has the second-highest Strength and Magic values among her second tier weapons, measuring 410 Strength and 410 Magic, and has the highest Strength and Magic values among the second tier weapons that possess equal Strength and Magic values.
As a trade-off, it also comes with the trait Ironstrike, which decreases ATB speed by 50%. It transmutes into the version of Omega Weapon that has the highest Strength and Magic values, at the cost of still retaining Ironstrike.
