The Ragnarok (ラグナロク, Ragunaroku?), also known as Crystal Sword, is a weapon that appears in various games in the series. It is usually one of the most powerful swords.
Appearances
Edit
Final FantasyEdit
- "A sword etched with words of the gods."
- —Description
The Ragnarok only appears in the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary remakes of the original Final Fantasy. It is the strongest weapon in the game next to the Barbarian Sword, but it can only be obtained after defeating the superboss Shinryu in the Lifespring Grotto.
Final Fantasy IIEdit
The Ragnarok is obtainable in the Arcane Sanctuary, found only in the PSP and iPhone's Anniversary Edition. It is the strongest sword in the game (unless the characters' stats are maxed out, in which case it is a little better than the Masamune, due to its real usefulness coming from the 99% Strength bonus), but it can only be equipped by Firion.
Final Fantasy IIIEdit
The Ragnarok is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. It is found in Eureka and is protected by Guardian. It can be equipped by Warriors, Knights, Dark Knights, Onion Knights, and, in the NES version, Ninjas. It has an Attack of 140 and adds +5 points to all stats.
Final Fantasy IVEdit
- "Sealed holy sword feared by monsters."
- —Description
The Ragnarok is Cecil's ultimate weapon. It was originally known to players as the Crystal Sword in the SNES version, and is obtained in the Lunar Subterrane by defeating Dark Bahamut. Both Ragnarok swords are metallic.
In the Advance and Complete Collection remakes, Cecil gets weapons that surpass the Ragnarok, including the Lightbringer. In the DS remake, Ragnarok is weaker than its original counterpart by 50 Attack points, making it much less useful in the final dungeon, which features enemies with a resistance to Holy damage.
There is a unused 2-handed Ragnarok in the item list within the game's data. It does not have a sword icon, but named None (named Spare in the original Japanese version). If force-equipped to a character with a cheating device, its weapon graphic is the same as the Ragnarok sword and its attack and sound effect are also the same. It also has the same Holy attribute with an attack power of 200, the same attack power as the single-handed Ragnarok. The only difference is that it cannot be equipped by anyone. This sword is by no means obtainable in any version of the game, and it is found in all versions of Final Fantasy IV including Final Fantasy IV: The After Years.
Final Fantasy IV: The After YearsEdit
The Ragnarok is found in a chest in the Depths of the True Moon, guarded by Lord Dragon (otherwise known as Shinryu). It is not exclusive to Cecil. The Ragnarok's stats are similar to its original appearance. The 2-handed Ragnarok can also be found within the game's data, and it's still unobtainable without the use of a cheating device.
Final Fantasy VEdit
- "Sword with runes of the gods carved in its surface. Can be used two-handed. Can be used with Spellblade."
- —Description
The Ragnarok is the ultimate sword in the game's original release, obtained by defeating Shinryu in the Interdimensional Rift. It can also be stolen from the back section of the final boss.
However, in the Advance remake, the Ultima Weapon, obtained by defeating Neo Shinryu, is far stronger than Ragnarok. Added to that, the Chicken Knife can potentially become more powerful than the Ragnarok if the wielder runs away roughly 120 times while equipped with it.
Final Fantasy VIEdit
- "Sword that may cast Flare upon striking an enemy."
- —Description
The Ragnarok is one of the most powerful swords in this game. It is obtained by going to the weapon shop in Narshe in the World of Ruin, and having Locke pick the lock to enter. The shop owner is hiding in the back room, and shows the party a magicite stone, which is actually the esper Ragnarok.
He offers to refine the magicite and turn it into a sword, or leave it as the magicite. Turning it into the sword will make it more difficult to learn Ultima, the most powerful spell in the game, requiring purification of the Cursed Shield. Betting the Ragnarok in the Colosseum gives the Lightbringer as a reward.
The sword has 255 Battle Power, and enables the Bushido and Runic command. It will consume 20 MP each turn to perform an automatic Critical Hit. It will randomly cast the Flare spell in addition to attacking. The sword can be equipped by Terra, Locke, Edgar, and Celes. In the Advance version, it is possible to get multiple Ragnaroks by stealing from Lady.
Ragnarok is affected by the Capture Glitch.
Final Fantasy VIIEdit
The Ragnarok is a sword for Cloud obtained by defeating the Proud Clod in Midgar, and is Cloud's second strongest weapon, bested only by the Ultima Weapon. It has six linked Materia slots and also gives a boost to Spirit.
Final Fantasy IXEdit
- "Knight sword bearing divine inscriptions."
- —Description
The Ragnarok is a sword for Steiner found in a Chocograph called Outer Island that can be dug from Chocobo's Air Garden. It teaches Thunder Slash and Shock. Aside from Excalibur II, Ragnarok is Steiner's most powerful sword.
Final Fantasy XEdit
The Ragnarok is a sword that can be created by adding Triple AP, Triple Overdrive and Overdrive->AP to one of Tidus's swords. The sword will be called Ragnarok, unless Break Damage Limit is added as well, at which point it will turn into the Excalibur.
Final Fantasy XIEdit
The Ragnarok is a Relic Weapon available to the Warrior, Paladin, and Dark Knight Job classes. To obtain and wield the Great Sword, a player must have one of these jobs leveled to 75 and have completed a series of lengthy and expensive quests, 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. With the expansion of the Magian weapon questlines, the Ragnarok can be upgraded through trials to its current Level 99 Afterglow state, reaching damage levels in-line with its power in the rest of the series. As of 2012, creation of the sword has become particularly popular after a long existence of obscurity due to its measly base damage at Level 75. This is due to the sword's unique method of augmenting critical hits, a trait which can be exploited to devastating effect once the weapon is in its Level 99 form.
Final Fantasy XIIEdit
The Ragnarok is a greatsword, acquired by completing the Fishy Dreams Hunt (Ixion). It can only be equipped by characters with the Greatsword 3 license. It has an Attack power of 109 and may cause Immobilize upon strike. All greatswords have 2.47s charge, and 1.2s action time, making them average what it comes to attacking speed.
In the Zodiac Job System version, the Ragnarok can only be equipped by the Red Mage and Knight.
Final Fantasy XIVEdit
Ragnarok is the name of one of the more recent servers of Final Fantasy XIV, and like the other current servers it takes its name from famous weapons from the series. It is an entirely new server dedicated to European time zone players, and is the only server that did not result from the merge or rename of any servers.
Final Fantasy TacticsEdit
- "This knight's sword is mentioned in tales about the end of the world."
- —Description
The Ragnarok is one of the most powerful Knight Swords in Final Fantasy Tactics. It had a base power of 24 and gives the wielder the Auto-Shell status. It is found with Treasure Hunter in the VOYAGE stage of the Midlight's Deep and is obtained after fighting Hashmal. It can also be found by using the catch skill to catch items thrown by Level 97 Ninjas.
A sword with a very similar name, the Nagrarok (ナグラロク, Naguraroku?), (Nagrarock in the PlayStation version) can also be found. Although it only has a attack power of 1, it may cause Toad on striking and gives the second highest weapon defending rate of 50%. It can be considered as the Ragnarok version of spoof of Excalibur, Excalipoor, while the latter is a mere Artefact and cannot be used in battle.
Final Fantasy Tactics AdvanceEdit
- "Sword made to end battles."
- —In-game description
- "Knightsword made like Ragnarok, but better."
- —In-game description for Nagrarok
The Ragnarok is a Knightsword and can be equipped by the Paladin, Defender, and Templar Job classes. Despite its fabled name, the Ragnarok is one of the weaker Knightswords in the game, however, its counterpart, the Nagrarok, is one of the most powerful weapons.
The Ragnarok teaches the Drop Weapon ability to the Paladin and the Defender Jobs, while it teaches the Silence magic to the Templar. The Ragnarok can be purchased in Sprohm and Cyril for 4,900 gil and in any other town for 5,600 gil. The Nagrarok can be obtained by completing the mission Valuable Fake, which requires a Bent Sword and Rainbowite. It rather uniquely grants its user +1 to his or her movement.
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the RiftEdit
- "Though modeled on its predecessor, this sword's power far surpasses that of Ragnarok."
- —Description of Nagrarok
The Ragnarok reappears in the sequel with similar attributes to the Tactics Advance incarnation, and can be bought for 2,400 gil in the shop after creating it in the Bazaar after using a Body Ceffyl, Platinum, and Zingu Pearl.
The Nagrarok though, makes an appearance as one of Adelle's special Heritor weapons. Nagrarok must be obtained during the Heritor sidequest, after learning Lennart, Viola, Wermut, and Ljda, then complete the mission at Aisenfield. Ragnarok provides +42 Attack and +5 Magick, while Nagrarok provides +68 Attack, +6 Speed, and +4 Evasion, and teaches Nessiam.
Final Fantasy Crystal ChroniclesEdit
The Ragnarok is a weapon that a Clavat can wield. It can be forged for 5,000 gil with the Dark Weapon Scroll along with the materials Cursed Hook, Orichalcum, and Ancient Sword. Its Focus attack the Shadow Blade, which deals massive damage in exchange for half a heart point of the user's.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of FatesEdit
- "The fantastical sword said to lead toward the world's end, and then to another world reborn."
- —Description
The Ragnarok is the best weapon for Clavats. It gives the player 180 ATK. The scroll used to make it is called the Götterdämmerung, which description reads "Pattern for the weapon used by the king of gods in the final battle. For Clavats only."
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a KingEdit
The Ragnarok appears as the level 95 sword type weapon. It has 99 attack power and costs 19,823 gil. A sword called the Ragnarok Prime can be obtained after defeating the Wyrm boss in the optional DLC dungeon, Infinity Spire. The Ragnarok Prime is by far the most powerful weapon in the game with 180 attack power and a +52 bonus to all stats.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of TimeEdit
- "The fantastical sword said to herald the world's end. For Clavats only."
- —Description
The Ragnarok is a high-end sword only equippable by Clavats, and is the second strongest sword in the game, next to Excalibur. It provides 50 attack at level 1 and 162 attack at level 30, and has three empty slots. It can be dropped by the Mimic at River Belle on Hard or Very Hard, and then created for 1,880 gil by using up one Homunculus Core, one Old Hellish Iron, and one Old Sword. When turned into a jewel, a level 3-9 Ragnarok makes a Berserk Eye, level 10-19 makes a Cat Eye, and level 20-30 makes a Ryoko.
