The basic Engine Blade has 28 attack, +3 Critical, +5 MP and +5 Magic.

He'll then upgrade your sword and cash the quest in for an EXP bonus too. For this sword we're looking for these three quests, which will unlock sequentially:Īll you need to do here is find the items requested and trade it in with Cid. This isn't just one quest but an absolute slew of them: each a quest to upgrade a different weapon in the game. Once you talk to Cid it'll kick off the quest 'Cid Sophiar, Master Mechanic'. You're going to be returning to Cid a lot.

Cid can be found outside Hammerhead Garage for most of the game, though keep in mind later he moves briefly to Cape Caem. You'll be able to start upgrading pretty early on - as soon as you start Chapter 2 you'll be able to talk to Cid. How to upgrade Noctis' signature sword: A Better Engine Blade Need more FF15 help?

This is arguably one of the best if not outright the best weapon Noctis can equip in the game - and it keeps that iconic Versus XIII look.

It can be upgraded, however - and given this has been Noct's signature arm right since the Versus XIII days it's only appropriate that his ultimate weapon, Ultima Blade, is merely an upgraded Engine Blade. Noctis' signature weapon is the Engine Blade, and this is a weapon you'll have when you start the game. For me the ultimate weapon is best personified in Cloud's bright, glowing Ultima Weapon from FF7, but every fan likely has a different favorite, with a wide variety of weapons available across the different FF games. Ultimate Weapons are something of a fine Final Fantasy tradition.
