How to get Arma Artema
Getting the Weapon Artema will give you many advantages in Kingdom Hearts III, but you can’t get it until the end of the game.
To obtain the recipe for Arma Artema, you must first collect at least 58 different types of materials. Once you have obtained these materials (you will get them as you play), you will be given the recipe for the most powerful weapon in the game.
What is the recipe?
To make the Artema sword weapon you require:
- 7x Orichalcum+, where we give you now all the steps to get it
- 2x Power glass
- 2x Clear crystal (achieved by synthesizing one power crystal, two clear gemstones, three clear rocks and five clear pebbles. You have to make this synthesis twice)
- 2x Power glass
How to get Orichalcum +
The materials you need for this weapon are common materials that you will find and collect as you play. However, the Orichalcum+ is a bit more complicated. Here is how to get it.
- In a treasure chest in The Final World. It is not possible to access on the first visit, so you will have to return through the portal in the Necropolis of Sword Keys.
- In a treasure chest in the Caribbean, it appears on the map as Exile Island (if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s the one closest to the center, on the west side of the map). It is on the surface.
- Send the special postcards in the mailbox of Twilight Village, next to the Moguri store.
- As a reward in the Alpine Slide mini-game in Arendelle (the world of Frozen), you must collect all the treasures as you slide down the mountain.
- Defeating an optional boss in the Eclipse galaxy with the Gumi ship.
- You have to collect 90 fortune holders (all of them in the game).
- You must get the highest score in all of the Seven Fantasy Flan mini-games.
Now you know how to get the best weapon in Kingom Hearts III, but you must first finish the adventure. Here’s a video to help you see, visually, how to get that weapon.
Tips and Tricks for Improving Fighting in Kingdom Hearts III
- Organize your shortcuts well: The key is to create commands that, through triggers or the crosshead, allow you to access the magic, objects and invocations that you use the most.
- Experiment with the different sword keys: Try all the incoming ones and at least try to find out what levels of transformation they offer.
- Don’t let special attacks pass you by: They’re more useful than you think, so try to use them unless you have a lot of control over the situation.
- The autofinish skill is paramount to not letting go of attacks: if you miss the final attacks of summons and weapons, this skill will be your salvation. Be sure to always have it among your active upgrades.
- All attractions are interactive: All allow you to take action or face enemies, including the pirate ship.
- Air combat is very important: learn how to use it and use specific skills to get the most out of it.
