How to get the Ancient Greatsword in Final Fantasy Resonance
You can get the Ancient Greatsword in Final Fantasy Resonance by completing the third Fledgling battle in the Colosseum. The battle will task you with facing four level 32 enemies: two Balaurs, one Blood Worm, and one Simurgh. To easily win it even while underleveled, pair Lasswell with Firion and keep the two Balaurs asleep via Sleep Knife, while using Rain’s Provoke to shield the party as you eliminate all targets.
The Colosseum can be accessed by heading right while in the main square in Grandshelt, the Royal Capital, and becomes available at the moment you start Chapter 4. Just don’t forget, its fights won’t reward you with EXP or MRP. You also won’t recover HP or MP after a bout.

How to upgrade the Ancient Greatsword to Ragnarok and Ragnarok+ in FF Resonance
After acquiring the Ancient Greatsword, you will notice that it only has 1 Physical and 1 Magic Attack, as you must complete the weapon’s trial to awaken its true form. You can check out how to do it and turn it into the Ragnarok Legendary Arm below. Once upgraded, the weapon will provide 191 Physical DMG, 99 Magic DMG, and will boost the stagger and DMG of all non-elemental attacks by 25%.
- Enter the Chamber of Arms. The area is located on the island north of Dirnado and only becomes accessible after unlocking the airship in Chapter 5.
- Interact with the Greatsword altar to start its trial.
- Defeat the Alpherg boss in a two-phase level 50 battle to upgrade the Ancient Greatsword into Ragnarok.
Defeating the boss will also net you 30,000 EXP, 18,000 Gil, over 200 MRP, and a Mist X-Ether. With the Ragnarok at hand, you can then further upgrade the weapon into Ragnarok+ by re-challenging a now level 75 Alpherg after completing the main story. Apart from featuring increased stats, the plus variant of the weapon also comes with the Break the Limit effect.
