For anyone that was having problems with Cid upgrading the weapon, Patch 1.05 should have fixed any bugs. Give it another try if you haven't already.

There´s a Rusted Bit on the rocks to the right of Cid. 10m from where Cid is sitting

You helped me out in 2021 Sincerely -a late adopter of this fine game

You can get a rusted bit in hammerhead. Go to cid and to the right there's a pile of rocks and at the top there is a rusted bit

There is actually a glass gemstone earlier where you meet Monica at the hunters camp there is a tower you can climb and at the top is a glass gemstone

Man, thank you, I love side questing and hunts, so this'll give me that edge I need.

great job mate, always nice to hear an aussie voice in the gaming community

Thank for the guide mate. I'm doing my third play through and this will help immensely.

This guide was exactly what I needed! Thank you!

Thanks for the guide bro, I got it on my first try!

3:05 that girl do a spoon flip

Just finished your walkthrough and got my Engine III/Ultima Blade thanx fam🔥

Yo this guide was so clutch. Thank you for this!

Thank you for this very detailed video.

this video helped me a ton, thank you.

What a video brother, off to do this right now. Clear and concise, excellent stuff. Subscribed

Clicked and liked as gratitude for your efforts - bravo!

thx bro, took a little while but I finally got it. One tip for newcomers here; dont go to the dungeon for the rusted bit, instead go to the town with the beach where you meet Dino, at the end of the pier is a rusted bit.

Sweet video mate! We need more people like this in the FFXV community!

Your videos are great. I've seen several of them including the exp coins. You are doing a great job.

This is pretty great. Thanks for taking the time to make this guide!

Thanks for all the support! If you would like a guide on something I haven't covered, leave a comment and I will see what I can do!

Got it on my first try, thanks man!

Thanks a lot dude. It took me about 7 tries with the duplicorns, but it all worked out. Subscribed

yo jus wanna say thanks this really help me out I'm new to this game and by understanding it more with your help I like it even better I used to hate this game so props bro!

I'm know I am late but this is a great video.

Lol got the horn on my 2nd try. Little extra tip: when killing those hounds for the level to hunt, use a 99 potency Blizzard against them. It will carpet bomb them, and they all die on the spot.

Thank you! I will be doing this tonight. I just needed the gemstone but was unsure where to get it from. Now I just need to wait it out and I will my Ultima blade.

Clear and to the point. Good audio and an excellent guide. No annoying 2 min self promotion. All around great job :) I subbed and hope to see you grow your channel.

If anyone is having troubles with getting the sturdy helixhorn, I believe that the sword of the wise gives you a 100% chance to get the horn as long as you break the horn

Loving these guides. The missus is out for the day and she's being watching me play and loves it so far. But she said I can't progress the story any further til she gets back. Well... I've farmed Cactuar and got tons of exp, got myself the Auto Crossbow and now I've almost got this weapon and I've still not progressed the story any further lol :)

Thanks for the walk through got the hex strudy horn first shot and now have the blade it's a great weapon to have

Great video bud. Very helpful for people like me who are taking their sweet time progressing in this game. Cheers!

This helped me alot I accidentally sold the engine blade but I've got it again

Awesome video. Got my horn drop first time using meal obtained from the lady eating alone.

Thank you so much got the sturdy helixhorn on my first try! :D

Just got this weapon with the help of your video. Should come in handy for my level 1 run. Thanks so much!

Thanks for this! I just hit ch3, and been super distracted with side missions, so I'm definitely doing this.

If your trying to stash XP then just equip the nixexperiernce badge, it stops your XP from calculating when you sleep

nice guide,been looking for a good guide channel.keep it up

This really helped me a lot, thanks for the information man!

There's another glass gemstone if people have sold the one in lestallum, there's one on the farm where you drop off iris and meet Cindy and the little fella. It's on the well right outside the door.

I pretty much stuck with Ragnarok till the end of the game...

thanks that was a lot of help too been stuck on cid missions for a year in a half

Great video. Easy to watch with great visuals of how to do it. Kudos ;D

I'm not sure if anyone still needs some help but if you're having trouble with the old lestallum quest then there's another hunt from the first garage when you enter chapter 3. The one by the slough. If you use the mother and child rice bowl maybe with key of prosperity if you have it then do that hunt and warp strike at the horns. It's a rare drop but I managed it on my first or worst case second try with the key of prosperity only on several playthroughs. It's still a little random but I always found it easier since I'm usually very low level. You may need to do a few hunts to unlock the spira hunt but it's worth a go if you struggle

If youre having troubles getting the helixhorn break, gladio's downhammer skill is easy to get and hits the horn excellently to break it.

Nicely Done friend, hope to see more info come from your way.

Just bought the game and loving your videos they are helping out alot thank you

The easiest rusted bit is actually at the prairie outpost on the tower you climb up the ladder to get it also the other easiest bit is over in galdin quay on the dock at the very end on the big pole.

Great video, recipe really helped. Subbed and liked. Keep up the good work

Amazing! I didn't want to get the ultima weapon till after I beat the game (mostly bc I didn't know how to get it but I figured I'd wait later). This helped tons though! Thanks!

you know to the right of cids chair at the rock theres a rusted bit there

i just got into the game, and i feel pretty weak but i didn’t want to do any XP glitches/exploits and this was perfect

good job mate on your videos I learned a lot keep it coming wish you luck and success

Worked perfectly,thanks for the walk through.

me at level 76 and still using the Ragnarok

I switched out to prompto and used the machine gun skill to break off the horns. Got 3 first try. I was lv 50ish tho. Not sure if that matters.

Awesome video bro I saw this before but I gotten the weapon easy without knowing I had the requirements but I find this video awesome. 👍🏼 keep up the good work.

Thank you for this. I was beginning to think that the cid quest lines weren't worth it. Aside from the engine blade, I have a bunch of other upgradeable weapons too. I'm looking forward to finishing them all now! Two problems,, the whole waiting to complete each one, one-by-one and finding out where to find the "rare" mats for the final upgrades.. I'll probably get these out the way once I'm done xp farming. Thank you again!

I have just handed in and completed this quest for the third time on my third seperate playthrough. Sorry for those people having issues with Cid not taking your quest but the bug doesn't seem to be happening to me. Sorry I cannot be more help in regards to the bug.

Gaze of the vortex has 430 attack, which is the strongest blade in final fantasy 15

Awesome, just three more day till I get my copy, all these video helps alot to start my journey thanks

Did this last night. Thank you for this.

finally a tutorial that made sense

there is an Item called a nixperience band.if it is equipped then you can camp or stay at hotels and your exp points wont be tallied preventing you from leveling up trust me it works.i saved all point from the start of the game to the free stay at goldin quay and wwent from Lv1-Lv 25 so ...yeah

this was well made. Nice vid!

All of your vids have been of great help! Keep up the good work ^^

PRO TIP: NEVER EVER drive at night to finish this quest as early as possible!!!!!! When i was driving for the first time to the first dungeon location, a lvl 30 Monster spawned at night on the road. I almost crapped myself, wasted all my 10 small healthpotions, and actually killed the monster. I thought: "Well, this game wont give me that much resistance until i get there anymore" (1km) - After 100m a level 42 spawned. He had a big ass fire sword. I am level 8 !!!! - I just turned and was like "NOPENOPENOPENOPE". Back to the trailer, go get some sleep of this crazy night. I will never aggain drive at night until i get this sword. i got my ultima sword with level 14

Yo I got that sturdy helix horn on my first strike to the big horses horns. Lol

still helping even 7 years later, thanks🙏

Woohoo took me 3hrs and I have the Ultima blade at lvl 20. Thanks for the guide!

Playing windows edition under 30 hours on steam I found the helix horn by accident lol 😂 didn’t know it was important 🤷🏼‍♀️

I ended up selling the weapon without knowing you could upgrade it.

keep the videos coming. I'm finding then very helpful. thanks

Awesome video Lemon, you are a champion ;)!

CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIN

Ragnarok plus Gaze of the Vortex are essentialy 2 of the most powerful weapons in the game. honestly at this stage even if you can get ultima blade pretty early Ragnarok will still do more damage with warp strikes compared to it ,

THANKS MAN THIS IS THE BEST TUTORIAL

I absolutely love your content!

Havnt played any of the finaly fantasy series since 9, but this version was by far the easiest.

Got the horn in less than a minute without that meal or the sword they recommend I use. Lol so easy

Awesome guide. Thanks!!!

Love your videos. Great job.

Tnk I'm def going to try to get it but I just started to play but can I do it on lvl 1 or do I have to wait until chapter 3

Yeah this is pretty easy... It's kind of like getting 3 of the 6 ultimate weapons on disc 2 of FF8. It is doable fairly easily

good video! Well spoken, enjoyed it. And I'm off to get my ULTIMA! Peace!

Amazing brooo it all worked I just got the game yesterday from my wife! and I got the swords thanks so much dude amazing perfect step by step instructions!

im at the last chapter and ive only found out about this....hahaha

Wow the irony, your first sword which everybody thinks it's the weakest of all sword's becomes one of the best sword in the game good thing I didn't sell it

I watched your drain lance video too, thanks.

Very well put together video man. I didnt upgrade the blade quite that fast(had an issue with the helixhorn), but even at just a level 3 blade the thing is still one of the best weapons in the game. Actually, a level 3 engina blade is what i beat the game with haha, then i got the freaking helixhorn in one try haha.

But the Ragnarok that came with Steam version is too OP that my play style is only warp striking anything. Rare Coin + food buff abuse to get level 99 early and then voila, 9999 damage with a pre order weapon. Nothing beats Ragnarok warp strike damage.

1:03 or you could just buy them

Nice one dude so straight forward and helpful and the item drop dish was the bees knees. Consider me subscribed good sir 👌🏽

Got the sturdy horn In about an hour. Thank you!

Ig i got lucky with the unicorn horn got it first try without the food

theres a rusted bit to the right of cid

Excellent guide. Thank you!

Awesome videos. I will try this out thanks
