- —Sazh Katzroy, Final Fantasy XIII
Brynhildr (ブリュンヒルダ, Buryunhiruda?) is Sazh Katzroy's Eidolon in Final Fantasy XIII. She is a Fire-elemental knight who wields a large bludgeon that also shoots projectiles. Though Brynhildr is naturally Fire-elemental, Sazh can bestow En spells on her to change her elemental characteristics allowing her to use a wide array of spells based on which enhancements Sazh has cast on her.
Sazh's Gestalt Gauge increases by driving up enemy chain gauges and by augmenting himself and Brynhildr with status enhancements. During her Gestalt Mode, Brynhildr transforms into a sports car.
The text on on the symbol that appears in the ball of fire reads:
- By the grace of Etro, warrior maiden be drawn by the fires of battle. Come forth, wreathed in blazing glory.
- A name in blood, a pact of flame. Brynhildr shall rise, her bond eternal and unyielding.
- Rousing Inferno.
- Ethereal Blaze.

Sazh and Vanille first face Brynhildr as a boss in Nautilus Park, as a test to prove Sazh's strength to her. After passing the test, Brynhildr will join as Sazh's summon.
Brynhildr yields to those who amass chain bonuses and to those who strengthen their allies.

EtymologyEdit
Brynhildr is one of the Valkyries in Norse mythology. She was sent by Odin to decide a fight between two kings, but was punished by the god after helping his least-favored one then banished her in the top of mount Hindarfjall in the Alps, where she must sleep within a ring of fire until Siegfried entered the castle and awoke Brynhildr by removing her helmet and cutting off her chainmail armour. The two fell in love and Siegfried proposed to her with the magic ring Andvaranaut. She is in the Volsunga Saga and in the Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Her finishing attack, Múspell Flame, refers to the realm of Múspellsheimr, the realm of fire and home to the Fire Giants and Surtr in Norse mythology.
TriviaEdit
- Some pictures show Sazh and Brynhildr fighting together in Nautilus. This is impossible however, since Brynhildr is the last encounter in the chapter.
