How to Obtain the Final Fantasy XVI Gotterdammerung
Step #1: Complete Quests to Obtain Calamity Materials
In order to become eligible to receive the Gotterdammerung sword, you must first complete quests that test your ability to fight powerful enemies and collect rare materials. These quests require Clive to be in his Dusk job.
The quests include:
Step #2: Obtain Adamantite, Mistmoor Sapphire, and Gold Ore
After completing the aforementioned quests, return to Noctis and speak with the Alchemist to obtain the primary materials needed to craft the Gotterdammerung blade. The remaining materials can be obtained by defeating specific enemies, such as Axebeens, Thunder Slingers, Whirlwinds, and Grindstones.
Step #3: Obtain the Gotterdammerung Uruz
Once you have gathered the necessary materials, visit the Uru Mount in Runnymeade to complete the production of the Gotterdammerung weapon.
How to Obtain the Gotterdammerung Sword
The Gotterdammerung sword can be found inside the Shrine of the Ancients, where Clive must challenge Cid, one of Emperor Titus's trusted companions who helped establish Norende centuries ago. Cid refuses to surrender the sword and erects a magical barrier to prevent Clive from stealing it.
Determined to obtain the sword at all costs, Clive must defeat Cid and his high-ranking soldiers to reach the sacred altar where the divine weapon is stored. The path leading to the altar is filled with powerful enemies who possess magical abilities and strong defenses against standard attacks.
You will need to battle through waves of enemies and solve puzzles to reach the Gotterdammerung sword. Once you reach the altar and interact with it, Clive will question his readiness to wield such a holy weapon. Cid will appear and advise Clive to leave and return only after making a significant contribution to Norende.
How to Pass Clive's Trial
With the Gotterdammerung sword in sight, Clive will make an attempt to reach it but end up injured. During his unconsciousness, he will enter an astral plane where he must face Uanna, an ancient dragon and the guardian of the sword. Clive's worthiness will be tested in battle against the dragon, and by defeating it, he will obtain the Gotterdammerung sword.
