FINAL FANTASY 15 - ULTIMA BLADE! Overpowered Early guide! Windows/ Royal 

For anyone that was having problems with Cid upgrading the weapon, Patch 1.05 should have fixed any bugs. Give it another try if you haven't already.

There´s a Rusted Bit on the rocks to the right of Cid. 10m from where Cid is sitting

You helped me out in 2021 Sincerely -a late adopter of this fine game

You can get a rusted bit in hammerhead. Go to cid and to the right there's a pile of rocks and at the top there is a rusted bit

There is actually a glass gemstone earlier where you meet Monica at the hunters camp there is a tower you can climb and at the top is a glass gemstone

still helping even 7 years later, thanks🙏

thx bro, took a little while but I finally got it. One tip for newcomers here; dont go to the dungeon for the rusted bit, instead go to the town with the beach where you meet Dino, at the end of the pier is a rusted bit.

If your trying to stash XP then just equip the nixexperiernce badge, it stops your XP from calculating when you sleep

I just used this guide 7 years later lmao TY!

There's another glass gemstone if people have sold the one in lestallum, there's one on the farm where you drop off iris and meet Cindy and the little fella. It's on the well right outside the door.

great job mate, always nice to hear an aussie voice in the gaming community

I'm not sure if anyone still needs some help but if you're having trouble with the old lestallum quest then there's another hunt from the first garage when you enter chapter 3. The one by the slough. If you use the mother and child rice bowl maybe with key of prosperity if you have it then do that hunt and warp strike at the horns. It's a rare drop but I managed it on my first or worst case second try with the key of prosperity only on several playthroughs. It's still a little random but I always found it easier since I'm usually very low level. You may need to do a few hunts to unlock the spira hunt but it's worth a go if you struggle

Lol got the horn on my 2nd try. Little extra tip: when killing those hounds for the level to hunt, use a 99 potency Blizzard against them. It will carpet bomb them, and they all die on the spot.

If anyone is having troubles with getting the sturdy helixhorn, I believe that the sword of the wise gives you a 100% chance to get the horn as long as you break the horn

Man, thank you, I love side questing and hunts, so this'll give me that edge I need.

I have just handed in and completed this quest for the third time on my third seperate playthrough. Sorry for those people having issues with Cid not taking your quest but the bug doesn't seem to be happening to me. Sorry I cannot be more help in regards to the bug.

you can find a rusted bit really close to Cid. If you're facing him just turn to the right and run past the shop and it's in the dirt area by a rock or canister I forgot the exact location.

3:05 that girl do a spoon flip

If youre having troubles getting the helixhorn break, gladio's downhammer skill is easy to get and hits the horn excellently to break it.

Thanks for all the support! If you would like a guide on something I haven't covered, leave a comment and I will see what I can do!

I pretty much stuck with Ragnarok till the end of the game...

Thank you for this. I was beginning to think that the cid quest lines weren't worth it. Aside from the engine blade, I have a bunch of other upgradeable weapons too. I'm looking forward to finishing them all now! Two problems,, the whole waiting to complete each one, one-by-one and finding out where to find the "rare" mats for the final upgrades.. I'll probably get these out the way once I'm done xp farming. Thank you again!

Sweet video mate! We need more people like this in the FFXV community!

I got the sturdy helixhorn from spiracorns. Untamed wild horses hunt from crows nest diner. :)

The easiest rusted bit is actually at the prairie outpost on the tower you climb up the ladder to get it also the other easiest bit is over in galdin quay on the dock at the very end on the big pole.

Thanks for the walk through got the hex strudy horn first shot and now have the blade it's a great weapon to have

Gaze of the vortex has 430 attack, which is the strongest blade in final fantasy 15

Thank you! I will be doing this tonight. I just needed the gemstone but was unsure where to get it from. Now I just need to wait it out and I will my Ultima blade.

Thanks for this! I just hit ch3, and been super distracted with side missions, so I'm definitely doing this.

In a way I got Ultima Blade even earlier than the method you show here when I was playing level 1 challenge as I didn't go past Duscae before I got it. The point in the story is still the same so not much difference. Rusted bit - Got it around the Hammerhead area on the ground. Glass Gemstone - Gladio picked one from the ground as I was exploring Duscae. Sturdy Helixhorn - You can get a Spiracorn hunt for the Alstor Slough area from the gas station you stop at when you enter the Open World chapter. The Spiracorns there dropped me two of Sturdy Helixhorns when I was just casually playing the game (got really surprised). For Sturdy Helixhorn hunting I found that parrying is really effective. Instead of just going for the horn like crazy you just walk around holding square to be able to parry as soon as attack comes. Spiracorns (and Duplicorns and Leucorns) like to charge at you so often that you don't even need to wait for long. When they charge at you they come horn first so the parry hits the horn. Wearing a high break chance weapon like Axe of the Conqueror or preferably Mace of the Fierce pretty much guarantees a break and then it's just up to luck whether you get the Sturdy or Crooked horns. Also, a good thing about parrying with Royal Arms is that they have all the destructive power without the HP backlash. For luck increases you can eat the food you mentioned here (if you want to go to the Lestallum) and you can also wear Key of Prosperity from the Holiday Pack DLC. I was only wearing the Key of Prosperity on Prompto when I got the Sturdies from the Spiracorns.

i just got into the game, and i feel pretty weak but i didn’t want to do any XP glitches/exploits and this was perfect

This is my 22nd FF game in a row and the last of my FF full series binge with the platinum trophies for each before playing FF14. After 22 games I don’t mind being a little OP for the last game. I just got the Sturdy Helixhorn first try. I’m back and I just got that plus 400 strength food from the diner beforehand.

there is an Item called a nixperience band.if it is equipped then you can camp or stay at hotels and your exp points wont be tallied preventing you from leveling up trust me it works.i saved all point from the start of the game to the free stay at goldin quay and wwent from Lv1-Lv 25 so ...yeah

Oh another faster location for rusted bit is go right from Cid towards the red fuel looking truck than when you are infront of that trunk look right, you will see rocks go towards the rocks the rusted bit is there blue glowing item.

Loving these guides. The missus is out for the day and she's being watching me play and loves it so far. But she said I can't progress the story any further til she gets back. Well... I've farmed Cactuar and got tons of exp, got myself the Auto Crossbow and now I've almost got this weapon and I've still not progressed the story any further lol :)

Awesome, just three more day till I get my copy, all these video helps alot to start my journey thanks

This helped me alot I accidentally sold the engine blade but I've got it again

What a video brother, off to do this right now. Clear and concise, excellent stuff. Subscribed

me at level 76 and still using the Ragnarok

Clicked and liked as gratitude for your efforts - bravo!

Got it on my first try, thanks man!

This may have already been said but there is a rusted bit just outside of Hammerhead. While facing Cid turn right and run to the rocks just outside of town.

Awesome video. Got my horn drop first time using meal obtained from the lady eating alone.

Great video bud. Very helpful for people like me who are taking their sweet time progressing in this game. Cheers!

Thanks for the guide bro, I got it on my first try!

Thank you so much got the sturdy helixhorn on my first try! :D

I switched out to prompto and used the machine gun skill to break off the horns. Got 3 first try. I was lv 50ish tho. Not sure if that matters.

Your videos are great. I've seen several of them including the exp coins. You are doing a great job.

theres one right if front of the hammer head behind a rock

You can get a rusted bit a tad earlier. In the area where the hunters are, there is a tower on the far side of that rest spot. Climb the ladder and there is a sparkle spot at the top with a rusted bit. No need to go into a dungeon or story progress.

you know to the right of cids chair at the rock theres a rusted bit there

Just got this weapon with the help of your video. Should come in handy for my level 1 run. Thanks so much!

this video helped me a ton, thank you.

Thank for the guide mate. I'm doing my third play through and this will help immensely.

Thank you for this very detailed video.

I beat this game at launch when the ending part was really brutally terrible, and I still never hated this game. Now I want to play it again in 2024 and wanted to thank you for these tips. Looking forward to being OP this time.

I ended up selling the weapon without knowing you could upgrade it.

Thanks a lot dude. It took me about 7 tries with the duplicorns, but it all worked out. Subscribed

Ragnarok plus Gaze of the Vortex are essentialy 2 of the most powerful weapons in the game. honestly at this stage even if you can get ultima blade pretty early Ragnarok will still do more damage with warp strikes compared to it ,

Very well put together video man. I didnt upgrade the blade quite that fast(had an issue with the helixhorn), but even at just a level 3 blade the thing is still one of the best weapons in the game. Actually, a level 3 engina blade is what i beat the game with haha, then i got the freaking helixhorn in one try haha.

PRO TIP: NEVER EVER drive at night to finish this quest as early as possible!!!!!! When i was driving for the first time to the first dungeon location, a lvl 30 Monster spawned at night on the road. I almost crapped myself, wasted all my 10 small healthpotions, and actually killed the monster. I thought: "Well, this game wont give me that much resistance until i get there anymore" (1km) - After 100m a level 42 spawned. He had a big ass fire sword. I am level 8 !!!! - I just turned and was like "NOPENOPENOPENOPE". Back to the trailer, go get some sleep of this crazy night. I will never aggain drive at night until i get this sword. i got my ultima sword with level 14

Just finished your walkthrough and got my Engine III/Ultima Blade thanx fam🔥

I'm know I am late but this is a great video.

Clear and to the point. Good audio and an excellent guide. No annoying 2 min self promotion. All around great job :) I subbed and hope to see you grow your channel.

But the Ragnarok that came with Steam version is too OP that my play style is only warp striking anything. Rare Coin + food buff abuse to get level 99 early and then voila, 9999 damage with a pre order weapon. Nothing beats Ragnarok warp strike damage.

This really helped me a lot, thanks for the information man!

Yeah this is pretty easy... It's kind of like getting 3 of the 6 ultimate weapons on disc 2 of FF8. It is doable fairly easily

nice guide,been looking for a good guide channel.keep it up

Got it early myself . But even by chapter 3 I was at level 67 and some missions it would take so long to kill the enemies even though I’m 20+ levels ahead I found that weird

This guide was exactly what I needed! Thank you!

finally a tutorial that made sense

Yo this guide was so clutch. Thank you for this!

Playing windows edition under 30 hours on steam I found the helix horn by accident lol 😂 didn’t know it was important 🤷🏼‍♀️

One tip I could advise, is that maybe people need to buy the ingredients for the Mother and Child Rice Dish.... I know I needed Cockatrice Legs for it, and after 29 hours in I hadn't found one as a natural drop so I had to go buy it :)

Havnt played any of the finaly fantasy series since 9, but this version was by far the easiest.

yo jus wanna say thanks this really help me out I'm new to this game and by understanding it more with your help I like it even better I used to hate this game so props bro!

So badly wanted to play this but had no time wen it first come out, years later I get a ps5 for the kids and I see it as a free game for ps5 users... sorry kids u have to share for a bit😅 thanks for the vids

Great video, recipe really helped. Subbed and liked. Keep up the good work

Got the horn in less than a minute without that meal or the sword they recommend I use. Lol so easy

unlike the girl at the bar, Cid would always give you a call in the morning... 🍻 cheers mate.

Wow the irony, your first sword which everybody thinks it's the weakest of all sword's becomes one of the best sword in the game good thing I didn't sell it

Hey! There is a rusted but by cid. Facing cid go right all the way to the rocks, there's one right on the rocks

Cid won't talk about the weapon when I got the glass gemstone. He keeps on saying "Oh my achin back" please help!

keep the videos coming. I'm finding then very helpful. thanks

theres a rusted bit to the right of cid

There's a rusted bit in front of the gas pumps close by the road in Hammerhead I believe.

That spira horn battle showcases how awful the camera can be in this game. 90% of the battle is those fucking trees getting in the way, and unlike any normal game which would cull the object so you can see through it, here? NAHHHHH you want to see our tree textures up close right?

There's also a rusted bit RIGHT there in Hammerhead. Go to the rocks on the right and climb. It's right there. That had me so mad when I found it. LOL.

1:03 or you could just buy them

3:05 dem skills though

I need help with something please why my ultimate blade is only 208 and yours is 364 ?

actually you can find one on the platform where the ferry was supposed to take you, and you can find another one when you go up to the outpost before the dungeon. you have to go up the ladder.

Isn't there a rusted bit at the end of the dock where the ferry is supposed to be? Where you're like 'well can't take a ferry go better feed the cat' area which is like the 4th quest in the main quest chain.

good job mate on your videos I learned a lot keep it coming wish you luck and success

Yo I got that sturdy helix horn on my first strike to the big horses horns. Lol

Amazing brooo it all worked I just got the game yesterday from my wife! and I got the swords thanks so much dude amazing perfect step by step instructions!

im at the last chapter and ive only found out about this....hahaha

Helixhorn finally dropped for me! Thanks for the guide! It was SUPER helpful! P.S. Love the girl at the bar joke lolol

Damnn... if I only knew about the food bonus... I farmed that horse shit for like 10 hours

You can actually get the helix horn from the deadeye hunt but you have to pick up all the items you see in the area on sight.
