Final Fantasy Xv Tomb Locations
- The tomb itself is located at the Keycatrich Trench. Arachne is quite easy to kill with any greatsword and fire spells. Axe of the Conqueror gives Noctis additional strength when it is equipped, and it is rightfully considered one of the most powerful Royal Arms in Final Fantasy XV.
- There are 11 Tombs in Final Fantasy XV. This guides gives all 11 tombs location in Final Fantasy XV. Tombs is required in order to grab new Ancestrals' weapons.
Balouve Mine is a little different to the other high level dungeons you come across in the end game, with many low level enemies and one powerful boss to finish the affair with.
Royal Tomb Locations in Final Fantasy XV are special locations, often within dungeons, where Noctis may absorb the power of the souls from the kings of the Lucis bloodline. Two world 2 release date. Gathering all 13 Royal Arms for the Armiger Arsenal will grant the player the trophy/achivement 'Faithful Heir' Royal Tomb Locations Map. Please note this map is unfishined.

Balouve Mine (Tomb of the Clever)
Recommended level: 50
Head to the Balouve Mines parking spot (north of Saulhend Pass, in south Leide) and head through the dilapidated building to the south east then follow the path. Get inside the elevator to enter the mine.
This is an odd one - all the enemies between you and the boss are very low level (the odd level 7 Goblin), so until you reach the final confrontation you're unlikely to break a sweat, and most of it is just long empty tunnels, so unless you want to explore just start with floor B2F.
Follow the tracks, taking the right fork when you get to it. You end up on a narrow bridge in a large open chamber, and a mysterious figure will appear ahead of you. This is the dungeon boss, but you can't do anything with him here, and instead you'll be knocked to the floor below. Deal with the Goblin resistance (you should be able to one-shot them if you're at the suggested level) and then head east, take the passage on your left at the end, and climb the stairs back up.
Head north, turn left at the end of the corridor, and at the Y-junction head west until you emerge into a metal tunnel. Take the door on the left at the end, then climb down a couple of ladders for your encounter with Aramusha.
He's weak to Swords, Daggers, Lightning and Royal weapons, and resistant to fire, but he's also susceptible to any weapons that deal poison damage. He can drain your stamina, has an AoE attack that can cause Confusion, and it's important to block when prompted as otherwise he'll hit you for a couple of thousand damage and heal himself.
He never strays from the lower area, though, so it's possible to get high ground and slowly wear him away with a gun, or alternatively dart between the two Warp Points dealing him a blow each time you pass.
Need more help? Our Final Fantasy 15 guide and walkthrough can provide tips on main story, as well as the open-world's many quests and activities. Learning how to get AP fast, EXP fast and money or Gil fast will aid you in many optional dungeons and tombs - including how to open and explore their locked doors. There's also plenty of interesting side-quests, too, such as the Scraps of Mystery and Professors Protege frog locations. And if you want to get around easier, you can rent a Chocobo, learn the infinite sprint trick and later in the game, get the flying car Regalia Type F. There's also more to see and do with DLC, such as Episode Gladiolus and Episode Prompto.
Once he's down head up the metal steps in the north west corner of the room to find a narrow gap. Squeeze through and follow the passageway round to the east to find the Tomb of the Clever. The optional dungeon is also located in this area, so take a mental note and come back later whenever it's unlocked / you're ready.

Forgotten your details? How to make sure Noctis gets all of his inheritance.
Final Fantasy 15’s main story introduces you to the concept of Royal Arms, powerful weapons that once beloved to the long-dead kings of Lucis. Across the course of the story you’ll be given a few in a compulsory story-driven manner, but there’s actually far more than the game points you to out there for you to find in the world, and with the new types of ‘Armiger’ skill available in FF15 Royal Edition and the PC’s Windows Edition it’s well worth chasing these special weapons down.
Finding the royal arms powers up Noctis’ Armiger special ability but also allows him to use these powerful weapons in combat – albeit sparingly, since using Royal Arms drains your HP.
Given that some of these are hidden away, we’ve listed where all of the Royal Arms in the game can be found below to make hunting them down easier. That includes details on when and where you grab the story ones – so be aware there are mild spoilers here.
Subscribe to the VG247 newsletterGet all the best bits of VG247 delivered to your inbox every Friday!Each of the Royal Arms belonged to an ancient king of Lucis, and each has its own theme going on depending on the tastes of the king in question in battle. Here’s how to find them all across FF15’s sprawling world. Be warned some require you to be in certain chapters to grab:

Final Fantasy 15 Royal Arms Locations: The story-based arms
All of the arms you find listed below are found in the course of the main story. If you want the non-story, optional arms that are hidden away, keep on scrolling…
Ffxv Royal Arms Map
Sword of the Wise Location
The sword of the wise is found, quite appropriately, in the Tomb of the Wise. You’ll visit this tomb in Chapter 2 of the main story as part of the quest Legacy.
Cor, the Marshall, will help guide you towards it to get you started on your mission.
Axe of the Conqueror Location
The Axe of the Conqueror will be your second Royal Arm if you like it or not – this too is gifted to you as part of the main progression immediately after the Sword of the Wise.
The quest Power of Kings will trigger and it’ll be Cor again who’ll point you in the right direction. That’ll prod you to the Keycatrich Trench, and the axe is inside at the very end.
Swords of the Wanderer Location
Yet another story-compulsory sword here, this one triggers in the quest The Sword in the Waterfall in Chapter 3. It’ll require you to venture into the Glacial Grotto dungeon which is, fittingly, behind a waterfall.
I tried to enter this dungeon at night and struggled. It’s hard to locate the entrance when it’s dark, so: go in the daytime. There’s a path to the right of the waterfall that leads you towards the dungeon.
Blade of the Mystic Location
The Blade of the Mystic is found during the Chapter 4 quest The Archaean – it’s compulsory that you get your grubby mitts on it as part of the quest that introduces Titan. Simple. This is a pretty powerful one, too.
Katana of the Warrior Location
It’s a while before you gain your next story-driven Royal Arm, and that is the Katana of the Warrior. There’s a nasty dungeon which has a rather depressing story beat throughout – it’s found there.
As a pro tip, when you fight the Malboro and it asks you to retreat look out for a very poorly-signposted waypoint – that’s where you need to make your way to. once the battle’s done, you’ll get the Katana.
Trident of the Oracle Location
Final Fantasy Xv Tomb Locations In Dungeons
A few chapters after your tangle with the Malboro you’ll have your train journey stopped for the quest Breath of the Glacian. There’s a boss battle here, and everything is pretty clear-cut – defeat the boss, get the trident. One more compulsory arm to go…
Sword of the Father Location
Chapter 13 is a pretty linear affair, and as you progress through its labyrinthine and sometimes frustrating corridors you will eventually come across the Sword of the Father – and be very grateful you did so. This is the final story-gifted royal arm.
Final Fantasy 15 Royal Arms Locations: Optional and amazing weapons
Right. We’ve done the story-driven Royal Arms. Listed below you’ll find the other arms. Some of these are exceptionally powerful, and collecting them all will max out the effectiveness of your Armiger ability, which will make it powerful indeed. Have at it:
Star of the Rogue Location
This one is pretty cool, since it’s not just another standard sword-type weapon. It’s located in the Myrlwood Dungeon – that’s south-west of Vesperpool, way in the North.
Head through this monster-filled dungeon and kill the boss at the end to nab this sword.
Shield of the Just Location
This weapon is also fairly interesting – it’s a shield! As the name suggests. Y’know, just stating the obvious here. It’s also found openly – there’s no dungeon, no monsters.
Final Fantasy Xv Royal Tomb Locations
In order to grab the shield, head just west of the Disc. There’s an area called Thommel’s Glade, and the tomb is in this area ready to be opened.
Scepter of the Pious Location
Sadly how easy the shield was to grab was something of an outlier, since the Scepter of the Pious is found inside a dungeon again. This dungeon is Malmalam Thicket, and is in the south-west, quite near the volcano dungeon where you find the mace of the fierce.
Follow the dungeon to its conclusion and you’ll find an optional boss battle against a large beast at the end of it. Your reward will be access to the tomb and the Scepter.
Bow of the Clever Location
The Bow of the Clever hasn’t yet been looted from the Tomb of Clever, and said tomb is found within Leide’s Balouve Mines optional dungeon. You can find the entrance to the minds in the far east of the map, south from Hammerhead and the like in the desert area.
It’s hard to miss the mine entrance since there are mine rails and the like outside it that lead inside. Be aware that it’s possible to cheese its level 50 boss with ranged attacks from a ledge – so consider abusing that to get this arm early.
Mace of the Fierce Location
In the far south-west of the Lucis open-world game map is a volcano. Climbing that volcano forms the dungeon of The Rock of Ravatogh. At the end of this dungeon there’s a wide open area after a nest with some eggs in it.
Drop down into this area and hug the right wall. You’ll find a small entrance to the tomb where you’ll pick up the mace. Who builds a tomb on top of a volcano, anyway?
Greatsword of the Tall Location
The clue of the location of the Greatsword of the Tall is found in the Tomb of the Tall, of course. That’s in south-east Duscae, fairly near the disc but to the south of it. The sword isn’t there, though – clues will instead point you to Costlemark Tower, which is nestled between the Kittier Highland and The Fallgrove.
This should really be the very last Royal Arm you get as Costlemark Dungeon is some brutal stuff. Save it for last. Level 50 and up, ideally.
