[edit] Final Fantasy VI
Gilgamesh appears in the Advance version only. Once defeated at the Colosseum, he is acquired as an Esper. He costs 99 MP to summon and randomly uses one of four attacks:
- Excalipoor - Deals 1 damage to all enemies
- Excalibur - Deals moderate damage to all enemies
- Masamune - Deals heavy damage to all enemies
- Enkidu - Gilgamesh's dragon-like companion deals 9999 damage to all enemies
Gilgamesh teaches the following spells:
Gilgamesh's Magicite grants +2 Strength at level up.
[edit] Final Fantasy VIII
- See the Summon sequence here
If the player acquires Odin before Disk 3, during the battle with Seifer on the Lunatic Pandora, Odin will attempt to use Zantetsuken on Seifer, but the move will be countered and Odin will be bisected. Gilgamesh will appear later in the fight wielding Odin's weapon, and will take his place as a summon and will randomly appear during battles.
When he appears, Gilgamesh will select one of four swords to attack with: Zantetsuken instantly defeats all opponents, the purple-hilted Masamune and the blue sword Excalibur both deal heavy damage to all opponents, and the red sword Excalipoor deals just one point of damage to all opponents. As with Odin, Gilgamesh's Zantetsuken does not work against opponents that are invulnerable to instant KO attacks, such as bosses - though he may attempt it, it will always miss in these cases.

[edit] Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
For the enemy page, see Gilgamesh (Revenant Wings).
Gilgamesh is a Rank III Non-Elemental Melee Esper, sharing the same rank and spot with Odin. Gilgamesh is more powerful than Odin though, and also has a special attack. His normal attack, Slice Thrice, hits the enemy three times, while his special attack, Masamune, deals physical damage to one target ignoring their defence.
[edit] Dissidia Final Fantasy
Gilgamesh appears as a summon in Dissidia. When called upon he will either triple the summoner's BP or reduce it to 1, as a reference to Excalibur and Excalipur. Gilgamesh can be obtained in the second stage of the Distant Glory - Villains storyline. The artwork used for the summon is from Final Fantasy V. Gilgamesh also appears as a ghost for the player to fight in the Offline Lobby, using Bartz, and he has the full set of Genji Equipment.
When Gilgamesh is summoned and produces the Excalipoor result, the text for the summon effect will read "I feel so betrayed..." This is what Gilgamesh says in Final Fantasy V upon realizing that the "Excalibur" he found is actually a worthless counterfeit.
