How To Craft Ultima Weapon
If you’re a fan of Kingdom Hearts series, you will know the pinnacle weapon for Sora will be Ultima Weapon. If you played Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2, you will get experience the insane power from this supreme keyblade. This keyblade obliterates anything that crosses it path which no doubt is the best weapon for Sora.
The stats for Ultima weapon are 13 strength and magic and it comes with combo boost, air combo boost and situational boost. On top of that, the formchanges is ultimate form. The ultimate form is pretty similar to what we had in Kingdom Hearts 2 but in this one it’s even better.
The materials need to synthesize Ultima Weapon would be as follow:
- Orichalcum + x7
- Wellspring Crystal x2
- Lucid Crystal x2
- Pulsing Crystal x2
You wouldn’t have any problem getting the crystals as you play through the game. Now the challenging part will be getting 7 orichalcum + as always. Each orichalcum+ requires different kind of challenge for you to obtain it.
#1 Orichalcum+
This is an easy one to get. The first orichalcum is located at the Final World. Fast travel to Keyblade Graveyard – Badlands. Once you spawn at the save point, immediately turn around and make your way to the end. You will get a red wrap gate which send you to the Final World. The chest will be in front of you as you spawn there.
#2 Orichalcum+
The 2nd orichalcum + is located at Pirates of the Caribbean planet. Head over to Caribbean and travel to Exile Island, there will be enemies at the island. Clear out all the enemies then head over to the center of the island and you will see a chest there.
#3 Orichalcum+
Third orichalcum + requires you to collect all 80 lucky emblems across the planets. This isn’t really a challenging task but rather a time consuming task but your effort will be paid off.
#4 Orichalcum+
This is another easy one to obtain it. Simply head over to Twilight Town and buy 1 potion from Moogle every time. This is random whether the moogle will give you postcard or not. For that the safest way to prevent wasting too much munny is by buying 1 potion every time then quit the menu and see if you get the postcard or not. Once you get the postcard, go over to the postbox and exchange it for an item. Keep repeating the same process until you get the orichalcum+.
#5 Orichalcum+
In order to get this you will have to complete all the Flantastic challenge across planets. There will be 7 of them and each one will has its own unique challenge. Upon achieving certain threshold of score, the flantastic will jump in an excitement which indicates you have successfully complete their challenge. You will be rewarded with three cooking ingredients instead of one. If you get one or none then you must continue to retry the challenge.
Location of these flantastic can be found:
- Olympus – Follow the stairs right up to the top from Thebes Save Point.
- Toy Box – By the rest area at first floor of galaxy toys.
- Kingdom of Corona – From Rapunzel’s tower immediately turn around and backtrack through the cave.
- Monstropolis – Fast travel to Factory Basement save point and proceed through the small white door leaning against the wall. Go straight through the next area until you reach a wall covered in many small doors. Take the brown one second from the left. Go through a small corridor behind you and you’ll see the flantastic.
- Arendelle – Go to the Mountain Ridge save point and leap off the cliff edge directly behind the moogle. You will land directly in front of the flan.
- Pirates of Caribbean – From the Port Royal Fort save point just head out into the courtyard and you will see the flan at there.
- San Fransokyo – Scale the building in front of the South District save point and move towards the skyscraper with an ‘M’ on the top. The flan is on the opposite building.
#6 Orichalcum+
For this one, you will have to collect 10 treasures from Frozen slider mini game. You can begin this mini game by talking to Elsa in front of her place. Good thing is you don’t need to collect all the 10 treasures at once. With that you can collect few everytime until you get all. Once you have collected all 10 treasure and complete the mini game, a orichalcum+ will be given to you.
Everglow has a good video with all the location of treasures shown in his video. You can just follow them and get it
#7 Orichalcum+
Your last and final orichalcum+ to obtain in order to synthesize ultima weapon. This one is mainly related on gummi ship and requires you to kill few mini boss and omega machine at the Eclipse Galaxy. Remember that big giant ship at the center of Eclipse Galaxy? There will be 4 mini boss at each of the ship’s quadrant and one underneath the ship.
Every time you kill the boss, it will sort of unlocking a bar straight up into the top of the ship. Killing all 5 mini bosses and you will see the bar fully charged up on each side. That’s where omega machine will spawn. It can be a tough boss if you don’t have strong gummi ship to fight this.
Primalliquid has made a good video on how to build a relative strong gummi ship. With the power of the ship, you should be having no problem in getting rank A in most of your gummi ship encounters. It should last you until your fight against Schwarzgeist boss in Misty Stream.
Finally, with all the 7 orichalcum+ in hand, you will be able to craft ultima weapon for Sora. Congratulations! Enjoy this supreme keyblade and see this weapon wrecks almost everything that crosses its path.
