Knights of the Round
Ultimate End

Knights of the Round, also known as Knights of Round (ナイツオブラウンド, Naitsu obu Raundo?) is the most powerful summon in Final Fantasy VII. It can be obtained from Round Island, a hidden island in the northeast of the map, which can only be accessed with a gold chocobo, or as part of the Master Materia set received from the Kalm Traveler after defeating Emerald Weapon. When summoned, thirteen medieval knights appear and slash the enemy party.

Ultimate EndEdit

The attack is called Ultimate End (アルティメットエンド, Arutimetto Endo) and strikes the enemy party multiple times. The knights themselves each attack with different weapons and spells (according to Ultimania Omega).

  • The first knight attacks with a long sword that looks like Cloud's Rune Blade,
  • The second knight attacks with a lance,
  • The third knight attacks with a rod and casts what looks like Fire magic,
  • The fourth knight attacks with a mace,
  • The fifth knight attacks with a long sword,
  • The sixth knight attacks with a hammer,
  • The seventh knight attacks with a wand and casts what looks like Blizzard magic,
  • The eighth knight attacks with a trident,
  • The ninth knight attacks with a staff and casts Comet on the target,
  • The tenth knight attacks with a naginata,
  • The eleventh knight attacks with a battle axe,
  • The twelfth knight attacks with a sword,
  • And the thirteenth knight attacks with Excalibur.

Although not stated outright, it is obvious that the final knight is King Arthur himself, because of his grander entrance and attack. This particular knight was released as a figure as part of the first Final Fantasy Creatures set, with the given name of Arthur, which confirms the knight's identity. Also, the next-to-last two knights should be Gawain and Lancelot, since it's believed that Gawain wielded an axe and Lancelot a sword, the Arondight.

Pairing it with a Steal As Well Materia will allow for 13 attempts at stealing from the enemy.

Knights of the Round will not work with Quadra Magic, whether it is linked to the specific Knights of the Round Materia or to the Master Summon Materia.

EtymologyEdit

The Knights of the Round are actually the main characters in the Arthurian legends of Britain. King Arthur was the leader of the knights, wielding the Excalibur. When called, the knights assembled at the Round Table. According to legend, Arthur was betrayed by Mordred, in some accounts held to be his own son. Arthur assembled his knights to a battle to the last man with the traitor, in which Mordred was slain and King Arthur was fatally wounded. Sir Bedivere, the only survivor, took the King to Avalon to rest until he is needed to rule Britain again.

TriviaEdit

  • Knights of the Round has the longest summon animation in VII, which can be an annoyance to some players as the option to skip or shorten summon sequences was not available in VII. If a player uses the Vincent Mug Glitch, they can bypass the long sequence.
