What is Darksteel?

Required for crafting Gotterdammerung (Best Sword for New Game).

Darksteel is among the rare materials required to forge Gotterdammerung, the strongest sword for Clive in New Game (NG). The legendary armament features very high attack and will, making it a must-have weapon towards the late stages of the game. Once you reach New Game Plus (NG+), it is recommended to replace Gotterdammerung with Ultima Weapon, the best weapon in the entire game.
