Appearances
Final Fantasy
Template:Sideicon
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 II
Template:Sideicon 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 III
Template:Sideicon 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 Famicom version, Ninjas. It has an Attack of 140 and adds +5 points to all stats.
Final Fantasy IV
Template:Sideicon
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, one being 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 Years
Template:Sideicon The Ragnarok is found in a chest in the Depths of the True Moon, guarded by Lord Dragon (otherwise known as Shinryu; in the Wii and PSP versions) or Lunar Odin (in the smartphone versions). 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 V
Template:Sideicon
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 VI
Template:Sideicon
Sword that may cast Flare upon striking an enemy.
Description
The Ragnarok is one of the most powerful swords 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 hiding in the back room shows the party a magicite stone, which is actually the esper Ragnarok.
He offers to turn the magicite into a sword, or leave it as it is. 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 commands. 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 VII
Template:Sideicon 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 IX
Template:Sideicon
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. With equipped Add Status, Ragnarok can inflict Slow with 30% chance.
Final Fantasy X
Template:Sideicon 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 XI
Template:Sideicon 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 up 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 XII
Template:Sideicon 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 when 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 Tactics
Template:Sideicon
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 Advance
Template:Sideicon
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 Rift
Template:Sideicon
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.
