A King can’t settle for second best — find the all-powerful Royal Arms hidden in tombs across the overworld with these dungeon locations. There are a total of 13 Royal Arms found throughout Final Fantasy 15, and while these legendary weapons aren’t exactly ultimately over-powered, they are still useful bits of equipment that’ll give Noctis an instant stat increase.
Royal Arms are an important part of the story, and all the optional Royal Tombs can be explored at almost any point — if you’re tough enough to deal with the enemies within. Some of these tombs are extremely tough, but you can always check out the content in the post-game if you can’t handle the threats on your first go.

Royal Arms are a special class of weapon — no enemy is resistant to a Royal Arm, and all come with significant stat increases over other weapons of the same class. There is a downside though; Royal Arms drain your life when using them. You can still equip a Royal Arm and gain the benefits of their stats even if you don’t want to use them in combat.
There are 13 Royal Arms in total — 7 are collected as you progress through the main game, while 6 are optional and can only be collected by exploring Royal Tombs and other dungeons. All the Royal Arms can be collected in the post-game.
