All Royal Arms and Royal Tomb Locations

Final Fantasy XV contains a total of 13 Royal Arms which are hidden inside Royal Tombs. These special weapons are incredibly powerful but come with harmful HP side effects. In this guide you'll find all of the Royal Tomb locations on the map, helping you collect each of the Royal Arms.

In my opinion Royal Arms are extremely useful in small doses, particularly early in the game when your stats are somewhat limited. It's worth combing their usage with HP recovery items to compliment their negative side effects which deplete HP upon every successful strike.

Of the thirteen Royal Arms, seven are obtained through main missions whilst the rest are hidden in the game world.
