All of the Final Fantasy games have their own version of the Ultimate Weapons. The Ultimate Weapons are usually a specific character’s final and most powerful weapon. These special weapons usually have a difficult side quest or task to complete in order to obtain them.
In Final Fantasy X, the Ultimate Weapons are called Celestial Weapons and they usually the most difficult to get in the entire series. Even before the player thinks about searching for them they need to complete a side quest to get the Celestial Mirror. This item allows players to unlock special chests and items associated with the weapons so they can reach their full potential.
To obtain the Celestial Mirror the player needs to complete their Chocobo training at the Calm Lands. Then they need to make their way to the Remiem Temple and complete a race to get the Cloudy Mirror. Finally, the player needs to get to Macalania Woods and complete and complete to the side quest for the missing boy to transform the Cloudy Mirror into the Celestial Mirror. With that in hand let’s take a look at the ten Celestial Weapons of Final Fantasy X.
