Kingdom Hearts 3 Ultimate Weapon
As the longest game in the series, Kingdom Hearts 3is truly massive, with plenty for players to see and do over the course of their adventure. One of the most time-consuming challenges in Kingdom Hearts 3 is crafting the Ultima Weapon, which requires players to scour the game worlds for the seven Orichalcum+ materials.
Orichalcum+ is one of the rarest crafting materials in Kingdom Hearts 3, as there is exactly seven of them in the entire game – the amount needed to craft the Ultima Weapon. Collecting all the Orichalcum+ will be the most challenging part of crafting the Ultima Weapon, but it’s somewhat easier if players know where to look.
The Ultima Weapon is the most powerful Keyblade Sora can yield in Kingdom Hearts 3. It's a classic weapon that has appeared in almost all of the Kingdom Hearts games.
We recommend waiting until all the Disney worlds are complete before going after the Orichalcum+. Please note that this article will have some location spoilers for Kingdom Hearts 3, but no story spoilers.
1. Moogle Raffle Ticket
This may be one of the most annoying Orichalcum+ materials to collect because it’s based on chance. Basically, spending money at the Moogle Shop (where the Ultima Weapon is crafted, by the way), will occasionally yield players Moogle Raffle Tickets. These tickets can be mailed out using the Twilight Town mailbox, and if players are lucky, they will get Orichalcum+ as a reward.
The best way to get this Orichalcum+ is to save the game right before sending out a raffle ticket, and then reload if the ticket doesn’t result in an Orichalcum+. This may be time-consuming, but it’s honestly the fastest way to get this particular Orichalcum+ in the game.
2. Frozen Slider Mini-Game
After completing the Arendelle story, players can return to the Frozen-themed world and speak with Elsa in the North Mountain area. This will trigger a sledding mini-game where the goal is to collect 10 treasures. The video guide below will show the location of each of the 10 treasures that players need to collect to get another Orichalcum+ crafting material.
3. Exile Island Chest
In the Pirates of the Caribbean-themed world, Kingdom Hearts 3 players are free to explore the seas in a pirate ship. If they travel to the southwest corner of the map, they will find an island called Exile Island, which has a treasure chest on it containing the Orichalcum+.
4. Lucky Emblems
All of the major game worlds in Kingdom Hearts 3 house Lucky Emblems, which come in the form of hidden Mickey Mouse logos. Players have to take a picture of all 90 Lucky Emblems in Kingdom Hearts 3, and once they do, they will be rewarded with another Orichalcum+ material.
5. Keyblade Graveyard
Near the end of the game, players will reach a location called the Keyblade Graveyard. The chest with the Orichalcum+ is not far from one of the save points and isn’t really hidden, so this Orichalcum+ is somewhat hard to miss. Anyone that needs extra help finding the treasure chests in the Keyblade Graveyard should check out this video guide by PowerPyx.
6. Eclipse Galaxy Bosses
Kingdom Hearts 3 players can free roam in their Gummi Ship in the Eclipse Galaxy just as they can the other galaxies in the game. If they do so, they will eventually come face to face with the Colossus Pyramid boss. Defeating it will cause four other bosses to spawn, and after they’ve been defeated, a final boss called Omega Machina will appear. Once Kingdom Hearts 3 players have managed to defeat Omega Machina and all of the other bosses in the Eclipse Galaxy, they will get their hands on another Orichalcum+.
7. Flantastic Seven Mini-Games
Hidden throughout seven of the game worlds in Kingdom Hearts 3 is the Flantastic Seven. Upon locating these unique Heartless, players have to complete a mini-game with them at each location. If Kingdom Hearts 3 players manage to obtain the high score at each of the seven locations, the reward for all of their hard work will be an Orichalcum+. Please use this Flantastic Seven guide to find all of them in the game.
With all seven Orichalcum+ in their possession, Kingdom Hearts 3 players are free to return to any of the Moogle Shops in the game and craft the Ultima Weapon. They will have also completed much of Kingdom Hearts 3‘s side content in the process, but they will still likely have quite a ways to go before they’ve fully completed the adventure.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is out now for PS4 and Xbox One.

Keyblades are the main weapons in Kingdom Hearts 3. As the name ever so slightly implies, they’re blades in the shape of a key. Yeah, we’re not sure how that works either. Be that as it may, they’re what you’re going to be using to bash enemies in KH3. There’s around a dozen of them, so it might be hard to choose the best one for your play style. If you can’t make up your mind, our Kingdom Hearts 3 best keyblades guide will show you the strongest weapons, their stats and how to get them.
If you just want to know exactly which keyblades are available in the game or compare stats, you should head over to our KH3 all keyblades guide.
Ultima Weapon
Ultima Weapon is hands down the best keyblade in the game. It adds +13 to both strength and magic, and has three skills (combo boost, air combo boost, situation boost). However, it’s extremely hard to obtain. You’ll have to craft it yourself, but before you can do that, you’ll have to collect all 58 sythesize materials. It’s going to take a while, and it’s going to be tedious at times. However, there are other great weapons you can use in the meantime.
Best keyblades in KH3
Kingdom Hearts 3 Orichalcum+ Locations
Ever After is a magician’s keyblade that adds 7 to magic and 2 to strength. It also unlocks the leaf bracer ability. You’ll get it when you finish the Kingdom of Corona. It’s a great choice for anyone with the Mystic class and/or Wisdom starting stat choice.
Crystal Snow is a giant magical icicle that is also a key somehow. Shush. It’s like the one above, but better. It’ll increase your magic by 7 and your strength by 2. When using it, you’ll get the freeze protection ability. In order to unlock it, you’ll have to complete the Arendelle chapter.
Wheel of Fate is another great choice, this time for a Warrior. If you were to wield it, you’d get 8 strength and 5 magic, as well as the Waterza skill. If you want it, you’ll have to put on a tricorne and help out Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean chapter.
Hunny Trenta is what Winnie The Pooh would use if he were Charles Bronson. It shoots honey. The stats aren’t that great on paper – just 6 strength and 5 magic – but the harvest ability and the way the weapon works make it a great choice. Plus, I mean, it shoots honey. If you want it, you’ll need to find the secret entrance and go into the 100 Acre Woods. Once you complete the chapter, this keyblade will be yours.
