To get Masamune, head to the Calm Lands and take the north exit toward the Cavern of the Stolen Fayth. When you arrive at the cave’s entrance, follow the trail that stretches to the right. Continue following the path until you come to a large ruin of stone with a soldier practicing near the edge. Approach the Rusty Sword to obtain it.

In the next area, continue following the path going south. Make a right on the passage that appears to lead to a circular area to find a lift. Use the lift to find Lord Mi’ihen’s statue in the upper area. Put the Rusty Sword in the statue to activate a glyph. Use the Celestial Mirror on the glyph to get the Masamune.

The weapon in its base form will be of little use since it only has the No AP ability. You will need the Mars Crest and Mars Sigil to bring out its full potential.
