Weapons from the DLC Expansions are included at the bottom, but this list excludes the updated versions of the weapons that appear in Final Fantasy Mode. Check out the Game Mode page to switch guide versions:
Sparring Sword
In Game Description:
“Though nearly identical in weight, length, and balance to the weapons carried by ducal Shield into battle, the blade on this training sword is carved from a single length of hardwood to lessen the risk of injury—trading severed ears and split bellies for the slightly more manageeable bruised wrists and injured pride.”
Obtained:
Automatically equipped to Clive during the training session in the Prologue.

Rosarian Oath
In Game Description:
“Upon joining the ducal army, all future Shield receive a longsword that not only serves as their weapon, but represents the oath they take to defend Rosaria and her people. The blade of this particular weapon is approximately a hand shorter than those used by most, making it more suitable for a squire not yet fully grown.”

Imperial Infantry Blade
In Game Description:
“When a Bearer dies in service of the Sanbrequois imperial army, it is more likely his sword—not his body—will be retrieved from the battlefield, that it might be provisioned to the next unwilling volunteer without additional cost to the crown.”
Obtained:
Equipped to Clive by default at the beginning of the game during the A Chance Encounter Main Scenario Quest.

Invictus
In Game Description:
“One of a set of seven swords said to have been forged in the flames of Mt. Drustanus, Invictus has been passed down through generation for use by the Archduke’s family and his closest Shields. Archduke Elwin presented Invictus to Rodney Murdoch on the day he was promoted to Lord Commander of the Ducal Army.”

Broadsword
In Game Description:
“Even in the hands of an untrained soldier, the broadsword can prove a deadly weapon which is why it remains a popular choice for armies across the Twins. It also doesn’t hurt that the pig iron blades are extremely simple and inexpensive to forge.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Charon at the Hideaway during the Hide, Hideaway Main Scenario Quest.
“If you can swear you have seen this blade somewhere before, it is probably because you have. Longswords are some of the most common weapons in the realm, so it is no surprise the hot-tempered gate guard barking at you to begone also has one strapped to his back.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Charon at the Hideaway during the Louder than Words Main Scenario Quest.
“The bastard sword is a popular choice amongst mercenary alliances because its size—not too long, yet not too short, not too light, yet not too heavy—accommodates a variety of fightning styles, both one- and two-handed.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Charon at the Hideaway during the Wings of Change Main Scenario Quest.
“While common on the southern continent, worship of the land itself as a deity is almost unheard of in Valisthea. That, however, has not stopped the import of fine steel blades blessed by Gaian presbyters, under the claim that they are deadlier and more durable than those forged in the Twins.”
“Platinum makes for a poor blade, being too soft to withstand rigorous use in battle and too expensive for the common soldier to afford. It does, however, allow for ornate designs on crossguard hilt, and pommel, where the rare metal is most often employed.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Charon at the Hideaway during the After the Storm Main Scenario Quest.
“Though a savvy merchant would have you believe that through arcane magicks imbued into the sword (at high cost to the supplier), its wielder will experience enhanced strength and dexterity, in truth, it is the reduced weight and increased hardness afforded by the weapon’s narrow blade of folded steel that ultimately provides the illusion of these enhancements.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Charon at the Hideaway during the Out of the Shadow Main Scenario Quest.
“A cursory inspection of this hefty broadsword will reveal diamonds on neither its hilt nor its blade. So why, then, the use of precious gemstone in its name? The answer lies in its blade, into which the dust of Fallen ruins has been hammered during its forging, rendering it nigh unbreakable—much like a diamond.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Goetz during the Fire in the Sky Main Scenario Quest.
“Long before the Valisthean alphabet became commonplace, early tribes across the Twins used a form of lettering now known collectively as ‘runes.’ While most scholars agree that these runes were merely a crude representation of sophisticated pre-Fall writing, some religious sects believe that the symbols hold power that is unlockable only when used in a specific order—much like those inscribed on the blade of the sword.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Charon at the Hideaway during the A Song of Hope Main Scenario Quest.
“Throughout history, many prominent battle strategists have declared that the besdt offense is a good defense. So with a name like ‘Defender’ one might assume this blade the best of both worlds.”
Obtained:
Purchasable from Goetz during the Streets of Madness Main Scenario Quest.
“Coral, while razor sharp, is also painfully brittle, which is why its use in all but the most primitive of weapons is almost unheard of. This sword of unknown provenance, however, is possessed of a remarkable rigidity, while maintaining an edge that rivals that of Odin’s blade.”
Obtained:

Ancient Sword
In Game Description:
“A marked lack of weapons left from the age of the Fallen could either suggest theirs was a society in which peace prevailed, or one in which those in power were unable to be contested. Those few weapons that do remain are found to be extremely lightweight, and nigh indestructible, but unfortunately impossible to duplicate in modern-day forges.”

Stormcry
In Game Description:
“So spurred by her cries did wind become storm.”
- Eikonomachy - Book of Gales 13:32
“Though modern-day plays such as The Adventures of Sir Crandall have taken to embelishing the tale considerably, historians do agree that long ago the nations of Valisthea were (for a short time) united under a single king and his band of loyal knights. Whether or not he was indeed crowned upon drawing a sword from a stone is a matter still up for debate.”
“The warriors of those islands situated off the far eastern coast of the southern continent are a curious lot, choosing a cloistered existence upon their lonely archipelago—seemingly content with the constant squabbling over lands within their own demesne—as opposted to setting out to claim territory anew. This is fortunate for the rest of the world, as the warriors are peerless when it comes to swordplay.”

Ragnarok
In Game Description:
“Ancient Ashen legen purports that one day, the ‘Age of Dominants’ will draw to a close in an epic clash of Eikons that sets the land ablaze, cleansing it of foulness and allowing for its rebirth—a clash they call Ragnarok.”
“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.”
“Shadowy details of its make and provenance aside, attempting to explain why a blade so apparently blunt might be able to slice through hardened steel like a brand through butter would be like trying to explain why birds can fly or the sky is blue—an endeavor best left for bards and bookwrights.”
“Some say that it is not within the flames of a forge, but the flames of a tonberry’s rage that his knife is tempered. And while this shaky supposition will, at best, elicit a roll of the eyes from any respectable blacksmith, the truth of the matter is that there exist no known observations of a tonberry knife’s creation, leaving us the freedom to believe what we will until a better explanation—such as, say, magicked runes—comes along.”
“A blasphemous coupling of living flesh and synthetic bone, this relic of an age long forgotten shudders with that selfsame vital spirit that animated the Sagespire’s mightiest of sentinels.”
“And when he looked upon mankind’s creation, he saw himself.”
- Unknown
