Ragnarok (weapon)

The Ragnarok , also known as Crystal Sword, is a weapon in various games in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually one of the most powerful swords.
Ragnarok's incarnation as a knight sword or holy sword stands in juxtaposition of other swords of Norse and Germanic origin, such as the Balmung or the Valhalla, which are portrayed as dark swords.
== Appearances ==
=== Final Fantasy ===
The Ragnarok appears in the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary ports. It is the strongest weapon next to the Barbarian's Sword, and is obtained after defeating the superboss Shinryu in the Lifespring Grotto. It casts Flare when used as an item in battle.
=== Final Fantasy II ===
The Ragnarok is obtainable in the Arcane Sanctuary, found only in the PSP and iOS Anniversary Edition versions. It is the strongest sword, providing 150 Attack, 99% Accuracy, 2% Evasion, +50 Strength, +30 Spirit, and +99 Agility. It can only be equipped by Firion.
=== Final Fantasy III ===
The Ragnarok is one of the most powerful weapons found in Eureka, protected by Guardian. It has an Attack of 140 and adds +5 points to all stats. It can be equipped by Warriors, Knights, Dark Knights, Onion Knights, and, in the NES version, Ninjas.
=== Final Fantasy IV ===
The Ragnarok (Crystal Sword on the SNES and Sword of the Gods in the Easy Type version) is Cecil's ultimate weapon in most releases including the original. It is obtained in the Lunar Subterrane by defeating Dark Bahamut. It is metallic.
In the Advance and Complete Collection versions, Cecil gets weapons that surpass the Ragnarok, one being the Lightbringer. In the 3D remake, Ragnarok is weaker than its original counterpart by 50 Attack points, making it less useful in the final dungeon, which features enemies with a resistance to Holy damage.
There is an unused two-handed Ragnarok in the item list within the game's data. It does not have a sword icon, but is named None (Spare in Japanese). If force-equipped to a character with a cheating device, its weapon graphic, attack and sound effects are the same as the Ragnarok's. 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 not obtainable in any version, but is found in all versions.
==== Final Fantasy IV: The After Years ====
The Ragnarok provides 150 Attack, 50% Accuracy, +10 Strength, +10 Stamina, +10 Spirit, and is Holy-elemental. It can be found in a chest in the Depths of the True Moon, guarded by Nova Dragon (Lord Dragon in the WiiWare version) or Lunar Odin (in 3D versions). The two-handed Ragnarok can also be found within the game's data, and it is still unobtainable without the use of a cheating device. It can be equipped by Cecil, Ceodore, and Kain.
=== Final Fantasy V ===
The Ragnarok is the ultimate sword in the original release, obtained by defeating Shinryu in the Interdimensional Rift. It can also be stolen from the back section of the final boss.
=== Final Fantasy VI ===
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, which is the esper Ragnarok. He offers to turn the magicite into a sword, or leave it as it is. While turning it into a sword makes it more difficult to learn Ultima, the sword can be traded for the Lightbringer in the Dragon's Neck Coliseum, the most powerful weapon.
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. It can be equipped by Terra, Locke, Edgar, and Celes. In the Advance and 2014 versions, it is possible to get multiple Ragnaroks by stealing from Lady.
Ragnarok is affected by the Capture glitch.

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 quests, often taking months of time, tens of millions of gil, and some patience to get other Dynamis drops.
With the expansion of the Magian weapon questlines and reforging with Oboro, the Ragnarok can be upgraded to its current maximum Item Level 119 Afterglow III state, reaching damage levels in-line with its power in the rest of the series. From 2012 onward, 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 119 form.
