The crown jewels of the game’s arsenal, Final Fantasy Resonance allows Rain and his companions to equip a series of Legendary Arms, each providing game-changing effects.
As you can expect, their fame also means that getting your hands on even one of the apex picks might require a few hours of investment. To help you, this guide will cover how to acquire all of them, from Rain’s Ragnarok to Archwitch Fina’s Fire Birch.
All Final Fantasy Resonance Legendary Arms and how to get them
You can get a total of 12 Legendary Arms in Final Fantasy Resonance, all unlockable by finding their Ancient variants (like the Ancient Greatsword for the Ragnarok) before interacting with their altar at the Chamber of Arms and completing their trial. All Legendary Arm trials will revolve around facing a level 50 boss.
As you can also see below, not all of the ancient arms can be found in the wild, with some being only acquirable by completing Colosseum battles on Grandshelt, delivering a set number of Tablet Shards to the Enigmatic Princess in Oblivion Palace, or via Merchant Ships.
