All 12 Legendary Arms: Ancient items and the Chamber of Arms
Quick answer
Each Legendary Arm starts as an Ancient item: Quarry Cave (Accessory), the Crystal Tower (Katana), the roaming merchant (Cloak for 40,000 gil, Tome for 45,000), Oblivion Palace chests at 76 and 84 Tablet Shards (Firearm, Whip), Colosseum prizes for Fledgling Battle 3 and Brawler Battle 5 (Greatsword, Cuirass), two airship radar digs (Garment, Hammer), a locked hut in Pharm (Rod) and Chloe after the side quest 'Secrets Unearthed' (Bow). Take each to its pedestal in the Chamber of Arms and win its trial to awaken it. The first earns the trophy 'Ancient Artifact' and all twelve 'Legendary Arms'.

Final Fantasy Resonance Trophy Guide & Roadmap ↗Community-reported (text guide), not a Kingy play test. Its entry for the trophy 'My Name Is Ultima…' (Defeat Ultima Weapon) says reloading a cleared save plays a short airship scene about a new presence in Ardra Crater in the south-east of the map, where Ultima Weapon stands and can be fought on interaction; that it is Level 70 with 3.9 million HP; that it can be beaten at Level 60, with 60–65 suggested as a minimum and the fight best left for last; that its strongest attack, Ultima Beam, is flagged by an exclamation mark on the turn bar and red flames above its HP bar; that it inflicts several status ailments; and that the win rewards an Ultima Reactor accessory along with the trophy. It also describes the magic-based party the author used (Reraise first, Shellga, Dispel against its Bravery, and Sakura's damage-nullifying Limit Break Eternal Veil before each Ultima Beam). It also says the Colosseum opens in Chapter 4 in Grandshelt, The Royal Capital, that crafting a first weapon with Aileen earns 'The Weapon that Suits the User' and crafting for all party members earns 'The Weaponsmith'. Its Legendary Arms entries say the first arm earns 'Ancient Artifact' and all twelve 'Legendary Arms', and place the Chamber of Arms on the mountainous island north-west of Dirnado, the Continent of Wind. On Tablet Shards it says the Enigmatic Princess is at Oblivion Palace, just south-east of Grandport Harbour in the Kingdom of Grandshelt, first visitable in Chapter 1; three shards open the first chest (trophy 'Princess's Reward'); and 60 trigger her second memory (trophy 'Memento'), enough to open everything in the first two treasure rooms. Its roadmap (read again on October 24, 2026) also says: none of the 40 trophies are missable; difficulty doesn't affect them, so Casual is fine; one playthrough is enough, with full free roam of the map, quests and collectibles after the story and no New Game+; there is one autosave and 10 manual save slots; and a platinum takes about 50–60 hours. Other entries: the 8th party member joins automatically during Chapter 5; each of the 8 party members has a substory (regular Sub Quests); the chocobo comes in Chapter 1 at the village of Kol and the airship at the start of Chapter 5; the Colosseum has four leagues of five battles, the Fledgling (leftmost, green), Brawler (second, blue) and Gladiator (third, purple) tables; spending and earning gil count cumulatively, Vaan at MR 9 has Double Gil, and you can save, spend 100,000 gil and reload; the King Gil Snapper (Lv.49, weak to Ice, absorbs other elements, very high physical defence), the Metal Gigantuar (8 HP, very high evasion, runs away) and a Gigantuar (lots of MRP) are random encounters on a small forested island past the optional Dragon's Maw dungeon, on the southern tip of the Kingdom of Pharm, open from the Chapter 5 airship but recommended at Level 55; awakening runs one star at a time with a Magicite Shard, then Magicite, then a Magicite Cryst, from a Moogle of Light in most towns or on the airship, Crysts first appearing in Chapter 5 and Magicite sold at the Colosseum late in the game; max Mastery Rank is MR 9 and is kept per character, while awakening stars apply to every character; 1,000 staggers came naturally by Chapter 4; 400 Resonances may need grinding, for example by repeatedly staggering one leftover enemy and using a healing Resonance such as Leah's or Ayaka's; and Mechabo's upgrades run through the side quests 'Arise, Mechabo!' (two Dynamo Stones from Ipooh outside the Dwarven Forge, Chapter 2), 'Mechabo Evolved' (three each of Dhorme Chimera, Medusa, Destroyer and sandworm) and 'Mechabo Unleashed' (from Chapter 5: three Mahadevas on Mysidia's western island and three Malbodooms in western Gronoa, Chapter 6 on). Rechecked October 24, 2026: it counts no missable trophies and says the game has full free-roam after the story; 'Conscience Renewed' is for clearing all party-member substories; 'Mechabo Mania' (upgrade Mechabo to his ultimate form) runs through Arise, Mechabo! in Chapter 2 (two Dynamo Stones from Ipoohs outside the Dwarven Forge), Mechabo Evolved (three each of Dhorme Chimerae, Medusae, Destroyers and Sandworms) and, after Chapter 5, Mechabo Unleashed (three Mahadevas in Mysidia and three Malbodooms in western Gronoa, from Chapter 6), reporting to Verun on the airship. Its Weaponsmith entry says Aileen is recruited through Forger of Wills in Dilmagia, available in Chapter 6. Read again October 25, 2026: the roadmap's three steps are Finish the story (about 40 hours), Side Content (10–15 hours; substories first for their stat boosts, then Legendary Arms and Adamantite) and Defeat Ultima Weapon and clean-up (1–5 hours); it calls Dragon's Maw's random encounters some of the toughest in the game and suggests returning at the end of the game when much stronger; it ties the Metal Gigantuar to 'Priceless Experience' and the King Gil Snapper to 'Struck Gold', and suggests Dualcast and high-level magic such as Ultima against the Metal Gigantuar.Reported ·
FF Resonance - All Airship Radar Upgrades & Treasure Locations ↗Community-reported (video), full game, PlayStation button prompts. The uploader's chapter list names three radar upgrades (Magi-tenna 0:00, Resonance Stone 2:25, High Power Generator 4:24) and thirteen treasures (Adamantite, Ancient Garment, Magicite, Berserker Ring, Spell Jacket, Ancient Hammer, Magicite Cryst, High Caster, Philosopher's Stone, Magicite Cryst, Dark Rosary, Evil Eye, Mastery Pendant). Its opening card says treasures must be found in the order shown and that you press R2 while flying the airship to use the radar. Frames checked by Kingy on October 24, 2026: 'You obtained the following: Magi-tenna x1' in Gaberada, the Undertown; the kingdom map cursor on Mt. Reizan for the Resonance Stone; Lid on the airship asking about a Resonance Stone; the notice 'You can now find even more hidden treasure on the Mysidia Radar!'; the Trader offering a High-Power Generator for 60,000 gil, with a card saying the merchant ship can appear anywhere in the ocean from Chapter 8 and sometimes sells it; and for each treasure, the fast-travel point the video selects first; the airship is then shown flying to a red marker.Walkthrough ·

Final Fantasy Resonance All Legendary Arms Locations ↗Community-reported (text guide), not a Kingy play test. Says the airship (start of Chapter 5) opens the Chamber of Arms on the mountainous island between Dirnado and Gronoa, where a corridor and portal lead to 12 crystallised pedestals that give hints; an Ancient item is weak until you win a two-stage trial against a Level 50 enemy at its glowing pedestal, after which the arm is renamed; after all 12, Level 75 trials give '+' versions that trophies don't need; nothing is missable.
