Final Fantasy: Top 10 "USEFUL" Weapons

[@byte.me_original]

The difficult thing about getting the Seitengrat is that you can't cheat your way by manipulating the RNG because the chest isn't in a battle zone. Timing should also be flawless when opening the chest, which has very low odds of appearing (and it's invisible, like the weapon itself). It's really crazy to think that someone found where it was, given the circumstances.

[@WhiteWeaseI]

The thing I love about the Excalibur is the holy element. No, not that monsters are weak to it, but that if you have a sage's ring (absorbs holy) you could heal without mana by hitting yourself or a teammate that has one!

[@punkheadphones]

Top ten grinding spots, grinding strategies, or anything about grinding/leveling in final fantasy games

[@wizardcat2232]

If you like grinding so much why don't you play disgaea

[@apocratos0174]

Is always a joy seeing my beloved ffxii in one of your videos

[@biscariot1074]

If this video came out when FFXV was already out he'd definitely include Ultima weapon for Noctis. You can get it as early as chapter 3 pretty easily when you're over level 30 and stat boosting meals and it's the second most powerful sword in the game.

[@TheGreyParse]

Did not know about the death sentence effect on the Powersoul. The curse ring just got a lot more useful, thanks!

[@matthewhoshauer6507]

DK you deserve so many more subscribers

[@Darkkefka]

I'm working on getting them.

[@matthewhoshauer6507]

You'll get there man. Just keep making awesome vids

[@Darkkefka]

thanks for your support ^_^

[@coolguy02536]

DK is probably the greatest FF fan ever. He doesn't dislike games like 13-2 just because a lot of others did, he knows all of his shit, he's funny...the list goes on.

[@matthewhoshauer6507]

Agreed ^.^ Mainly because hes funny XD

[@Eric-yt7fp]

I would have included the Demonsbane sword from FFXII, since you can get it on your first visit to Raithwall's Tomb and it deals massive damage for the levels your characters will be at.

[@cramirez3855]

You make the best videos on KZbin, and your comedic timing is unrivaled.. you spoony bard

[@WormCathedral]

I knew Auron'a Masamune would be here hahah. When grinding out Omega Ruin's monster captures I always had Auron in the party for Great Malboros like you showed, then swap to a character that could catch it. You'd probably be thrilled to know Rikku was always in my end game party, mainly because she could swim.

[@damariuswingfield2144]

Dude you should do a remake like this for other games.

[@jnbovee]

i've been watching a lot of your videos and having a lot of good laughs here and there. Thanks! You earned another subscriber!

[@SantiagoHatchet]

in final fantasy VI there are two better options as thrown weapons for 10th place: the pinwheel, and the impartisan (which is really a spear made for imps, but still does max damage when thrown)

[@Hawntbawt]

Locke's Valiant knife in FF6 is pretty underrated. You get the atma weapon earlier technically but neither weapon is really abusable until you get the offering (or have 9999 hp), and the valiant knife just gets stronger the more you get hit rather than losing damage as you get hit, it's like the power soul that was mentioned, except you can easily hit 9999x4 at around 2/3 of 9999 user hp instead of needing to be all the way in critical status. Just saiyan.

[@charlesajones77]

I would have included the Chicken Knife from FF5. Its attack power is based on the number of times you've fled from battle. If you're like me, this thing can get very powerful.

[@Karifean]

You misunderstand. When I implied it was a glitch, I was referring to the RNG Manipulation. Pretty sure the devs didn't put that in there on purpose for players to find.

[@davidgeorge1943]

A weapon that I've only recently discovered to be crazy busted is the Masamune from FF9. What makes it so powerful is Zidane's skill, Soul Blade, which inflicts the targeted enemy with the status effect corresponding to whatever thief sword he has equipped (it doesn't work if he's equipped with regular daggers), and the Masamune has Doom, which will kill the target within 10 seconds, which in FF9's speed, is honestly pretty fast. Did I also mention that the status effect is guaranteed to land unless the enemy is outright immune to it? An honorable mention goes to the Sargatanas, which have a similar case except it inflicts Petrify instead of Doom, but you won't get EXP or a kill for that.

[@habkeinename3229]

You can get the zodiac spear more then once. In the mines of henna is a chest wich appiering with a chance of 10%, 10%that a item is inside and a 10% (just with a special accesuare) that a zodiac spear is inside and the chast always comes back you can find and open them as much as you like

[@InfinyGodslayer]

I agree with you in some points, chests in Cerobi Steppe and Dark Matter are a pain to get without cheating. About the invisible equipments, I prefer not to get those since they're gamebreaking and specially because they're invisible. That sucks!

[@That_River]

Suggestion: how about a top 10 list of the most powerful spells/abilities in final fantasy and perhaps another with the top most useful spells/abilities.

[@Darkkefka]

Kael Thor I may look into that...

[@akdude80]

Darkkefka How about top 10 most useless consumable/usable items in ff

[@CollapseDev]

akdude80 Lol well number one already is either a pebble or knot of rust haha.

[@snowdroid]

Kael Thor How about when: IT'S OVER NINE THOOOOUSSSAAANNNDDDDDDD!

[@snowdroid]

What do you mean what is it? It's a cheap, cheat spell. It's real--you use GameShark. Cheating through games...life...no bueno... :/.....lol.

[@Darkkefka]

when I play all the KH games, I might do KH boss video. I WILL do a Tomb Raider Top ten hardest levels in the future.

[@TheGman4747]

There's actually 4 chests connected to the Zodiac Spear. The one in front of Old Dalan's place, a couple in the palace, a couple when you first get sent to prison, and the ones gathered around the Phon Coast.

[@KnightKiller1000]

You can either buy it at Junon in Disc 2 or 3 or at Mt. Nibel where the Materia Keeper is at and take Slide 2 to get it.

[@somerandomguy39]

#6. The masamune is the second easiest to get. Much easier than 200 lightning, cactuars, racing, or blitzball.

[@Justin-ym4pm]

Blood sword is pretty late in the game in FF2 (not the end but only a few areas left), it's pretty obscure to find with a small window, and it's completely miss-able.

[@Lightman0359]

Scimitar FF6: decent attack power and random Odin-style dispatch/instant kill. Ancient sword FF2: random curse [massive drop to enemy stats, and you get it super early], FF7 apocalypyse: cloud's 3rd most powerful weapon and x3 materia growth. FF1: Heal staff and Thor's Hammer: free cure on entire party or thundara when used, saving those limited spell slots or giving knights offensive magic

[@stephenhughes1862]

I am only on the No 5 entry, but I KNOW that the Zodiac Spear will be on this list! In another one of Dark Kefka's videos, he showed how you can get this crazy weapon after obtaining the Dawn Shard, which is just INSANE!

[@theeflatlander]

How did Wakka's T.K.O not make the list? You get it pretty early and can use it 'til endgame.

[@DJAB87]

I agree with you, especially about Edward. He becomes more useful near the end of the game. Plus he's not so whiny in the after years; he actually grows some balls.

[@SuperJackwilson]

for auron what overdrive mode is he on that gives him back his overdrive from using it

[@Darkkefka]

it depends if I come across anything worth putting on the list.

[@ONLYFOXYLADIES]

The blood sword does that only to the emperor, but on all the other fights it acts as you might expect.; low damage/accuracy and therefore healing.

[@Darkkefka]

not 50 strength, I meant 131 strength.

[@Nazo-kage]

9:20 it was made even more over power in the original release in which you were given two of them door will be in them you were unstoppable unless you attacked a zombie

[@Darkkefka]

yes, but I may do limits or summons first.

[@pinkinglily6447]

You can get Zodiac Spear by using the somehow-confusing-at-first RNG trick at the Henne mines.You can get like 99 time,just like Seintegrat.If you still confuse about the RNG trick,it appear that you only can get 1 Zodiac Spear.

[@Darkkefka]

I started to pick that, but when you can kill stuff in mere seconds, there's no need to block.

[@Darkkefka]

my level 50 tifa has 50 strength. Try using the Gigas Armlet and a few Power sources.

[@Darkkefka]

I've gone through it once, but I actually started a new game a few days ago. I'm farming Shrouds in Chapter 2 first. I'll wait until I get 99 of each before moving on.

[@KigaiOkasu]

How about the Engine Blade from 15? You start the game off with it, then upgrade it over time, and by the time you finish, it becomes the Ultima Weapon, one of the strongest weapons in the game.

[@kmjohnny]

Good list. First Strike weapons are generally useful in FFX along with Stonestrike or optionally with Sensor.

[@pinkinglily6447]

The Seintegrat bow can make you feel boring sometimes,but if you feel like that,simply using it only when trying to run from overpowered monster.Or you can use it as level up speeder.

[@Veghesther]

I used the Cursed Ring + Power soul combo Tifa and still had KoTR/her limits outdamge it ie even at both full and low HP I didn't have her attack command do more then 5000 damage per turn not 9999 per turn.

[@Aristotle000001]

There's also Desch's weapon in FFIII that was able to deal 1 damage to the Nepto Dragon that took 0 damage from anything else.

[@flarefox3797]

Locke and his Genji Glove duel Hawkeye setup is pretty damn strong, especially because they deal more damage to flying targets and there are a lot of those

[@Darkkefka]

You need to max it out, then upgrade it to Malboro wand by using Uraninite.

[@KouriRyu]

How in the world did you get Relm to equip the Ultima Weapon? It can only be equipped by Locke, Celes, Terra, and Edgar!

[@pat.999]

there is a relic what gives you the ability to equip everything

[@OmegaChase1002]

The Hammer for the White Mage in Final Fantasy 1. helps a lot for the first part of the game.

[@smithandrew051]

I really think that the auto crossbow from ff6 deserved some recognition. You can use it an infinite amount of times. You get it 20 minutes into the game automatically with Edgar. It does more damage as you get stronger and makes grinding a breeze for the first half of the game. Correct me if I'm wrong but I also think it ignored the target's defense? Not to mention that Edgar is probably going to be one of the characters in your group for most of the game.

[@EAchank]

Agree 100 percent for a good part of the game Autocrossbow is the best

[@coreymay918]

top ten accessories, will catnip beat ribbon? Also factoring them into the games they come from

[@MeatPlanet]

I've watched your bids since high school. I love your resident evil movies and fantasies .

[@Plagued_1]

Hey DK mind tellin me how to get the zodiac spear cause at one point my house had the massive guide book with stats and maps for everything in 12 but after quite a few years and meh dad being a bit dumb with it (tried to put it into a fuckin binder) it was basicly destroyed and i no longer have access to it, and dont feel like using the web to search, just askin cause wanna replay the game and have the na version + nostalgia since was first FF ive ever played

[@IosLocarth]

Refresh my memory. The two things that survive lionheart are omega weapon (obviously) and ultimecia at a high level, right?

[@Firion316]

The Blood Sword, while extremely powerful, has one glaring weakness: it is useless against undead monsters (inflicting damage to the wielder and healing the monster). And most of the dungeon leading up to the final clash with the Demon Emperor is filled with encounters containing powerful undead troops. So you can't really use the weapon in most encounters late game..

[@uberbs]

Excalibur and Save The Queen - Final Fantasy Tactics. once i got either one of those weapons, it was basically game over.

[@manofleipe]

I love how every DK FF Toplist has a tie in No. 1 with XII IZJS being the "if you have this game,consider this number one". I actually think XII IZJS is one of the best RPGs I've ever played,because there is so much content,so much to do,Rare Games,Marks,Elite Marks,Espers,getting the *F I N A L F A N T A S Y* weapons and,obviously,Trial Mode.

[@Terszel]

Definitely. Got a PS2 a while back, and I don't regret getting a copy of it. I mean, what game makes GRINDING fun?! With turbo mode and all the treasures you can collect there's almost no reason not to grind.

[@manofleipe]

Potpourri He should just make a top 10 reasons to buy IZJS.

[@walterlopez5054]

FFX Wakka's TKO ball. you get it early in the game, and it reliable petrifys enemy monsters. and since it's a blitzball, it can be used on airborne foess

[@Jadae]

yeah, but you have to listen to him :/ dude needs a mute button

[@riproaringanus]

You say there's no hint towards the Zodiac Spear but doesn't a soldier in the bazaar mention a legendary wyrm, a palace under the sand and a weapon?

[@delchavez]

I love your countdowns, man. I really like the ones where you get mad and curse the games!

[@Darkkefka]

hmmm... Do some people consider RNG manipulations glicthing? Also, I think the Ultima Blade was designed that way.

[@ApolosMJMJ]

How you can play FFXII in a computer? i rly dont know how, can someone explain this pls?

[@chaoskiller6084]

Probably on an emulator.

[@chaoskiller6084]

@HicksZ34 Oh, uhm. Ok. I myself am a console player but most steam ports suck.

[@Darkkefka]

actually, you picked one up back in Sunleth..you know..the forest with the awesome music? If you sold it, you'll need to buy itfrom the platinum workshop. I forgot when it's avalible.

[@bwnh]

i was just curious. what FF4 version was the one that feature Edward's Loki's Lute?

[@bwnh]

never mind. i wasnt paying attention. psp version. still great video by the way!

[@ninjazexionfan815]

excalibur can be found from great crystal but how do you get white robes?

[@Darkkefka]

what is her base strength?? it should do at least 5-6K

[@TheAli11ali11]

i do have to add summit about the blood sword, it cant be used against undead enemies or else i heals them and damages you, and yeah you get it roughly half way through the game if my memory recalls correctly

[@goingcrazy201]

You know what I miss? Quality AMVs, you should be a top 10 FF based AMVs

[@Fa1nTy]

it also doesn't help that almost all the actually hard enemies have ignore evasion

[@Darkkefka]

I Haven't played the new one yet, but I don't think it can compete with the level have in mind.....

[@Ashtarte3D]

I knew Seitengrat would be on there, but kind of expected 12's Masamune as well, since in ZJS if you put that on Ashe with the Genji Gauntlet she can solo Yiazmat in under 10 minutes.That combo is flat out dumb.

[@commanderblue3219]

what about edgars tools in final fantasy 6?

[@ReaperX7]

One of the BloodSwords I found useful was the Drainer in Final Fantasy 6. If you manage to steal it of Number 028 in the Magitek Lab you can equip it on Locke. Now by itself it's less than useful, but give Locke the Thief Glove, and use Capture and now Locke not only has a powerful attack ability, but Capture bypasses the HP Steal effect dealing the weapon's real damage rate which for the time being, is the highest possible you can deal, and it even works on undead.

[@ptrexy]

for tifa's weaponi prefer the one that have 255 "accuracy" and using death blow, always hit and I can have full weapon

[@9BitExpedition]

top ten most impresive looking limit breaks/overdrives/ultimate attacks from both characters or summonings.

[@XXIceDarknessXX]

I'm surprise you didn't put that bow and arrow fro the internationals version on the list.

[@IosLocarth]

You get the blood sword RIGHT before the cyclone. If you don't you can't get it anymore, and the only thing after the cyclone is jade passage and hell. Yes its overpowered but its extremely easy to miss and you get it very late

[@AGenomeSoldier]

I'm curious why the Lion Heart is number 5. Surely with it's power and how early you can get it, it would be further up the list.

[@nishblaze]

you say it was fixed on the psp version but isnt that the game you are playing?

[@chrisrainey2364]

What version of FFII was that and #1 looks like a glitch. It doesn't even show up in their hand telling me it wasn't supposed to be in the game or something.

[@ervanandreas608]

+Chris Rainey it FF2 Psp version, i played the GBA version yet blood sword still same broken ass shit

[@KelluehazeDSOO]

can I use the 226 power bow oon PS2?

[@D2FFDK]

Don't you think getting either item in the number one spot makes the game really boring? Or is it at all worthwhile? I've never gotten either so I'm curious.

[@thekingslayer1831]

Would you rather hang out with Kefka for a day, or get your ass kicked by Tifa?

[@Darkkefka]

why is that? Unless you use Merit award..only Locke can use it.

[@Darkkefka]

the fist fight, or the second one?

[@stephenhughes1862]

Just awesome DK, one of your best vids

[@Darkkefka]

Well you need to go through a lot of hoops to get it in disc 1, plus he may use other limits.

[@TlEySnLeYlN]

another one for Aurun from FFX, when you get to calm lands, get him a weapon with evade and counter, and maybe a few strength+ and have him on perma' cover, he covers with a guaranteed evade, and counters with a heavy attack, just have the other 2 party members strike the magic attackers at that point. had him with that all through out calm lands to zanarkand and made catching mobs at that point in the game a breeze

[@kallmemikey1701]

You can also use RNG Manipulation on the PS4 Version of this game as well

[@liamdivine5361]

Ever thought of ranking each main entry final fantasy game?

[@TheDissidiaDuodecim]

and how you can get 3 the lance that appears at the final moment of the video in FF XII? (i dont know the english name, the lance you can get in nabudis)

[@andrestewart6566]

If there is going to a top ten summons list...in terms of power its between anima or KOTK however eden,zodiark or bahamut are in with a shout. yojimbo is a spam.

[@kevint4541]

What about the Masamune from FFXII for using on Hell Wyrm, Yiazmat, Omega and etc? I thought that was extremely useful especially with decoy + reverse

[@martinboyce1166]

when are you going to make another top 10

[@mustang10141980]

Triago Tower is another broken weapon in FF12 ZJS. Anyone can equip, and it is a 1 hand sword. Combine with the broken Gendarme shield (ZJS only, absorbs all elements), and you can kick some serious ass. Too bad both items are invisible.

[@CrazyMax55]

DK here is a list of top 10 you could do for future reference : 1- Memorable/likeable Villains 2- Useless Spells 3- Scenery 4- Ugliest Characters 5- Beautiful/Memorable Cut scene 6- Useless Characters

[@adambriton5394]

have you done fave villain and I guess number 1 would be kefka

[@Shinashe_Ultima]

What do you think about using Fang as the lead against a Long Gui? Using Highwind just before the stagger runs out and you can take Long Gui down in two cycles? I've been doing this for a while to get platinum ingots so any faster way would be much appreciated!

[@cameraredeye3115]

2 rounds? With Vanille spamming Death that does 999999 per hit, you can beat Long Gui in 1 round...

[@anakingaming9318]

i belive there is another weapon stronger than Zodiac Spear. But u need almost finish the game at 100%.... the Taurus sword or something like that... is not even visible on the license

[@pinkinglily6447]

Use the Atma or Ultima Weapon from the 1st time you found it,trust me it really really useful later on when you have about 6000-9999 hp,cause it does the same damage,not fixed,and combine it with Offering/Master Scroll and Quick.Pretty much you can kill everything.

[@YurrickLamhfhada]

May I ask where you obtained that image at the end with Ashelia and Ultima?
