Ragnarok is one of the most powerful weapons that you can obtain in the base game. You can eventually upgrade it to Gotterdammerung, the strongest weapon in Final Fantasy 16‘s other difficulty modes with 375 Attack and Will.
Obviously, you will need the Gotterdammerung to help you get through the Final Fantasy difficulty before you can get your hands on the Ultima Weapon. This hidden difficulty will raise the level cap to Level 100 and changes the enemy spawns as well as their AIs. Making even normal encounters much harder than usual. As you play through the New Game+ mode, you should get another Ragnarok too, so don’t worry about upgrading it.
In order to get the Ragnarok, you have to complete the four “Blacksmith’s Blues” questline found at the Cid’s Hideaway:
| Quest | How to Unlock/Reward |
