Legendary Weapons Locations
Unearthing the legendary weapons of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is a quest in itself, often requiring keen observation, completion of specific side objectives, or reaching certain points in the main story. These weapons are not only powerful tools for combat but also carry significant lore and historical weight within the game's world. Finding them can dramatically boost your army's capabilities, making them essential for tackling the game's most challenging encounters.
Here are some of the known locations for legendary weapons:
- Ragnell: This iconic sword is wielded by Ike. In Fortune's Weave, Ragnell can be obtained during a specific paralogue chapter that focuses on Ike's legacy. The chapter, titled "Echoes of the Hero King," becomes available after completing Chapter 15 of the main story. Successfully defeating the boss of this paralogue, which is a powerful phantom resembling Ike, will reward you with Ragnell.
- Alondite: The dark counterpart to Ragnell, Alondite is often associated with the Black Knight. To acquire Alondite, you'll need to engage in a special skirmish that appears after defeating a certain number of enemy generals throughout the game. This skirmish, "The Shadow's Grasp," typically appears in the northern regions of the map around Chapter 20. Defeating the Black Knight himself in this encounter will grant you Alondite.
- Falchion: The sacred blade of the royal family, Falchion is a potent weapon against dragons. Its location is tied to the main story progression. After completing Chapter 18, "The Dragon's Maw," you will be presented with a choice that leads to a hidden path. Following this path and completing the subsequent "Sacred Seal" paralogue will yield the Falchion.
- Nidhogg: This legendary lance is known for its swift strikes. Nidhogg can be found in a treasure chest within the "Whispering Ruins" paralogue. This paralogue becomes accessible after recruiting the character Reina. The Whispering Ruins are located in the western part of the map, and the chest is guarded by a formidable group of wyvern riders.
- Gae Bolg: A powerful spear with a storied past. Gae Bolg is a reward for completing the "Trial of the Ancients" paralogue with an S-rank rating. This paralogue is unlocked after achieving a certain support level between two specific characters (refer to character guides for details). The trial involves a series of challenging waves of enemies.
Remember that some of these legendary weapons may have unique properties or skills that activate under certain conditions, such as increased damage against specific enemy types or during critical hits. Always check the weapon's description in your inventory for details on its full potential.
