Excalibur 2 is Steiner's strongest weapon, and the hardest weapon in the game to get! In order to get this fantastic weapon, you must reach the very end of Memoria, the very last dungeon in the game, within 12 hours. Making to the end in time is certainly not an easy task, but with dedication and a little bit of luck, it's quite possible to do.

If you have time, shop a little bit in the village to upgrade your equipment. If you don't, head towarsd your new airship. Either way, head for the Iifa Tree.
Battle: Nova Dragon HP: 54,941 Make sure Vivi has the Octagon Staff, and your fighters have Bird Killer and MP Attack equipped. Keep attacking and have Vivi cast Blizzaga repeatedly, and eventually this monster will fall.
Keep following the path, grabbing Kain's Lance and The Tower along the way.
Boss: Maliris HP: 59,497 Equip Demon Killer and MP Attack on your attackers, and have Zidane set Auto-Life. Keep attacking and use Blizzaga against this boss, and you should be fine. Its final attack, Sword Dance, deals a lot of damage, so make sure your character with Auto-Life doesn't die during the battle.
Boss: Tiamat HP: 59,494 Equip Body Temp on all of your party members, along with any equipment that can absorb or nullify wind attacks. Otherwise, use the same tactics as Maliris.
Boss: Kraken 55,536 Attack with your attackers and heal and attack with Vivi. Heal with Dagger or Eiko, if either are in your party. Equip any equipment that reduces water attacks, along with Auto-Regen. Keep attacking its core and you should win.
Boss: Lich HP: 58,554 Lich uses LVL 5 Death, so be sure none of your party members have levels with a multiple of 5. Equip Auto-Float if you have it, and / or equipment that absorbs or nullifies earth attacks. Also equip Gaia Gear on as many people as you can. Keep attacking with your attackers, and be sure to heal!
Check out the right side of Lich's platform, and a "!" should appear above your head. Congratulations, you got the Excalibur 2!
