Gotterdammerung Stats and Description

Weapon Attack Stagger
Final Fantasy XVI (FF16) - GotterdammerungGotterdammerung 375 375
Description If Ragnarok was forged to mark the war of the gods, then Gotterdammerung — meaning “twilight of the gods” — was forged to mark the fall of those selfsame deities.

At a massive 375 Attack and Stagger (Will damage), Gotterdammerung is the best weapon for Clive in New Game, only bested by the post-game armament Ultima Weapon which you can only craft on Final Fantasy Mode (NG+). Before starting NG+, it is highly recommended to have obtained Gotterdammerung which will serve you well until you can finally replace it with the much more powerful Ultima Weapon.
