Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Locate The Hand of Iapetus Chronolith in Sanbreque, northeast of the Caer Norvent River Gate Obelisk. Go north across the bridge from the obelisk, then turn right. You will need to defeat minor enemies before accessing the Chronolith.

    Prepare your equipment. The best weapon is the Gotterdammerung, crafted after completing the Blacksmith’s Blues IV Side Quest. Recommended accessories include the Ouroboros belt, The Founder’s Grasp vambraces, and the Berserker Ring. If you find the Berserker Ring's Precision Dodge difficult, use the Genji Gloves for a flat 5% damage increase.

    For the Ramuh trial, consider equipping specific accessories that enhance Ramuh's abilities. 'The Will of Lightning (Pile Drive)' increases Pile Drive Will damage by 10% and is found in a chest during the Capital Punishment Main Quest. 'The Breath of Lightning (Lightning Rod)' reduces Lightning Rod's cooldown by 5.0 seconds and can be purchased at the Dhalmil Inn for 12,200 Gil. 'The Favor of Lightning (Thunderstorm)' increases Thunderstorm's Damage by 10% and is found in a chest during the Into the Darkness Main Quest. 'The Breath of Lightning (Judgment Bolt)' reduces Judgment Bolt's cooldown by 9.0 seconds and is found in a chest during the Fire in the Sky Main Quest. 'The Breath of Lightning (Pile Drive)' reduces Pile Drive's cooldown by 4.2 seconds and is a reward for completing the Trial and Error Side Quest. 'The Favor of Lightning (Judgment Bolt)' increases Judgment Bolt Damage by 6% and is a reward for completing the Ramuh Chronolith Trial.

    Focus on achieving Battle Technique Bonuses: 'Singular Justice' requires fully charging and unleashing Blind Justice on a single target. 'Justice Discharged' involves charging it four times on different enemies before discharging with other abilities. 'Ability Finish' requires ending an enemy with an Eikonic Ability. 'Multi Burst' requires using 10 Magic Bursts. 'Collateral Drive' is a simple on...
