In Final Fantasy 16, Clive's Ultima Weapon is hidden in a way never seen before in the franchise. If you don't know the proper requirements to get it, no amount of searching or grinding will lead you to this legendary blade. If you want to overpower everything in the game, here's how to get the Ultima Weapon in Final Fantasy 16.

How to get Ultima Weapon

Like most other weapons in Final Fantasy 16, you will need to forge Ultima Weapon yourself, but you won't find this available at the blacksmith during your initial playthrough.

Step 1: Beat the game on any difficulty and start a new game in Final Fantasy mode in New Game +.

Step 2: You will automatically obtain the Utterance of Creation item upon starting the game in this mode.

Step 3: Play through the game and do all the steps necessary to make the Gotterdammerung Reforged. This is exactly the same as making the sword in the normal game.

Step 4: Defeat the Barnabas boss during "The Last King" story mission to unlock the Flawless Dark Shard and use it (along with the other needed materials) to create the Everdark Reforged.

Step 5: Take all of these things to the blacksmith to craft the Ultima Weapon.

The Ultima Weapon has nearly double the stats of the Gotterdammerung, with 700 attack and stagger stats.

How to pressure Thunderclaw in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Cloud and Aerith charging up an attack.

Chadly has a lot of tasks lined up for you in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Now that the world is far more open and explorable, you'll have a ton of extra activities to take if you wish, but the first few are a bit more required. Aside from the usual tower climbing and item gathering, one task is to fight specific enemies with a series of requirements. The first one, which asks you to pressure a Thunderclaw, is more troublesome than it should be, even if you understand the system. Not to worry, because we've used the Assess skill to gather all the data on this foe to make pressuring it a breeze.
How to pressure Thunderclaw

Pressuring and eventually staggering enemies all comes down to exploiting their weakness(s). Normal attacks build a little stagger, and some abilities deal good stagger too, but if you don't hit an enemy's weakness at least a couple of times then you're likely just to kill them before they become pressured.

Cloud standing before a troop of soldiers in FINAL FANTASY 7: REBIRTH.

Junon is dangerous territory for Cloud and his friends in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The city is already one of Shinra's major hubs, but matters are made even worse when the president himself is set to arrive to host a parade. This presents a perfect opportunity to don some disguises and hide in plain sight among the ranks, though things get a little out of control when you are recruited to lead a team of troops to perform in a rhythm minigame. You could brush this off and just get by, but where's the honor in that? Show the president your stuff by making the best parade formation possible.
How to make the best parade formation

Your parade formation is determined by which type of troopers you have and in what order. There are 10 groups you can find to add to your ranks, but you only need five to make a formation and start the minigame. These four types are Security Officers, Riot Troopers, Flametroopers, and Grenadiers.

How to skip Nibelheim in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

If you were as a excited as we were for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth then you almost certainly played the demo before release. This gave you a sneak peak at the first chapter of the game where Cloud and Sephiroth are sent to Nibelheim in the flashback sequence. While great, there are a lot of slow moments here that make this section take quite a while so you may want to skip past it when starting the full game instead of doing it all again. Thankfully you can, but you have to do one little thing first that isn't very obvious.
