How to get the Ultima Weapon, the best keyblade in Kingdom Hearts 2, unlock the best weapon in the game and what materials you need.
The first Kingdom Hearts games remain as playable today as they were when they were originally released on PS2, even more so with the Final Mix versions that Square Enix has been rescuing and re-releasing on all platforms.
You can currently play Kingdom Hearts 2 on PS5 , PS4, Xbox Series X|S , Xbox One, Nintendo Switch , or PC including Steam , and whether it’s your first time playing the game or you played it years ago and want to brush up, we’ll tell you what the best weapon in the game is.
A classic in these games is the Ultima Weapon , the best keyblade in the game, available in virtually every installment up to Kingdom Hearts 3 , and even some Final Fantasy games like Final Fantasy XVI .
But the way to obtain it changes. In Kingdom Hearts 1, even the way to obtain it in the original and in its Final Mix version changed. In Kingdom Hearts 2, it is the same in all versions.
How to get the best weapon in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, the Ultima weapon.
What is different is the way you get the weapon between the first and second games. It is still a weapon that you have to synthesize in the Moogle shop, but here you don’t just choose it from the menu, you have to find the recipe.
- Where to find the recipe for the Kingdom Hearts 2 Ultima Weapon : It’s in a chest in the Twilight Town mansion , in the room where Sora wakes up.
Once you have the recipe, you will have to go to a moogle shop (it doesn’t matter which one, you don’t have to go to a specific one) and level up the moogles (you level up by synthesizing many things and thus they gain Exp).
When you see that you can synthesize this weapon, you will need to gather the materials:
- Orichalcum+ x13
- Orichalcum x1
- Mithril Crystal x1
- Dense crystal x1
- Twilight Crystal x1
- Serene Crystal x4
Orichalcums are found in chests in Twilight Town, Paranoid Space, the World That Never Was, the Hundred Acre Wood, by winning all the Colosseum Cups, by collecting all the Moogle Materials, and by finding all the Torn Pages.
That’s seven Orichalcum, but you can split them and get 13 by using a power crystal to split them in two. These items are dropped by Shamans and Librarians.
The rest of the materials are easily found in chests or from enemies, but Mitrilium Crystals can also be synthesized in Moguri shops .
Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is part of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2-5 ReMIX , the essential pack to get started in the series, with the first six games in the series, now also available on Steam and Steam Deck.
Obtaining the Ultima Weapon in Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix is a challenging but worthwhile endeavor that will greatly enhance your gameplay experience.
