Those hoping to channel their inner Warrior of Light can now do so by unlocking the Curtana in Final Fantasy 16’s Rising Tide DLC.
Although players have very little control over other party members, there are plenty of weapons for Clive in Final Fantasy 16. Most of these are unlocked via side quests or the main story, but some have been added to the game as DLC. The Curtana is one such weapon.
How to Get Cloud’s Buster Sword in Final Fantasy 16 (FF16 DLC)
Cloud Strife’s oversized blade is one of the most iconic weapons in gaming. Now, players can get the Buster Sword for Clive in Final Fantasy 16.
Best known as the signature blade of FF14‘s Warrior of Light, the Curtana is one of the franchise’s most iconic weapons thanks in large to its stunning design. As such, it’s understandable why some players are so keen to get the Curtana in Final Fantasy 16.
How to Get the Curtana in Final Fantasy 16
The Curtana comes bundled with the expansion pass and was added to the game as part of Final Fantasy 16‘s 1.31 update. Like other DLC items, players will first need to redeem the weapon before they can actually use it, though this process is thankfully quite simple. To get the Curtana, players should navigate to the System menu and make their way to the Redeemable Items tab. From there, they’ll just need to highlight the Curtana and then press the X button in order to claim it. While they’re here, they’ll also want to claim the Torn from the Heavens and Through the Maelstrom Orchestration Rolls, both of which come bundled with the DLC.
Curtana Stats in Final Fantasy 16
With just 160 Attack and 160 Stagger stats, the Curtana is a pretty lackluster weapon when compared to some of the best swords in Final Fantasy 16. However, this isn’t really a problem, as those hoping to use the Curtana can do so without having to settle for its underwhelming stats by using it as a skin rather than as Clive’s main weapon. The process for doing so is once again incredibly simple, so those who’ve never played around in the Appearance menu needn’t worry too much about figuring it out.
How to Use the Curtana as a Skin in Fantasy 16
To use the Curtana as a skin, players should pay a visit to the Arete Stone at the hideaway and then navigate to the Appearance menu. Once there, they’ll want to use the shoulder buttons to navigate to the Weapon tab and then find the Curtana near the bottom of the list. If they then highlight the Curtana and press the X button, Clive’s sword will take on the appearance of the Warrior of Light’s iconic blade even when he has a more powerful weapon equipped. While they’re at it, may also want to change the appearance of Clive and some of the other party members via the Armor tab.
