Obtaining Götterdämmerung
Once you complete the side quest Blacksmith Blues IV, you can obtain this weapon.
Blacksmith Blues 1
This mission will appear in the game after you complete the main quest number 35. After completing the main quest, “Here be Monsters,” after defeating a Griffin, you will find its location on the hunt board.
This quest will appear on the map just after completing the main quest, and the griffin’s location can be just near the nonevent river gate.
Blacksmith Blues 2
Now Blacksmith Part 2 side quest will become available once you complete the main mission number 47, “Letting off Steam 3”. To achieve this side quest, you must go to Clive’s table and check the letters he received from there.
This will be a straightforward quest to complete, and there will be no pointers in this quest. You can follow the quest objectives, and the investigation will be completed quickly.
Blacksmith Blues 3
For the side quest number 3, Blacksmith Blues 3, you must complete the main quest 59, “Like Father, Like Daughter.” Visiting Blackthorne’s old stomping ground in Dravos would be the best way to achieve this quest.
What you will do there is you will help them get the forges working back together, and then you will have to defeat a desert creature, a salamander. This would also be very easy to complete; follow the quest objectives to complete the quest.
Blacksmith Blues 4
Players can unlock this quest after completing the main quest number 62, “Across the Narrow.”
To start this quest immediately, you must talk to Blackthorne’s best friend, August. You will return to Dravos, where you will find that it is under attack and the attackers are an Akashic horde.
The quest objectives will include defending the village, and the boss fight will consist of fighting the Chimera. Hence, it would be recommended that you take some extra potions before the war.
After completing this quest, the wait will be over, and you will receive the fruit of your completion, Götterdämmerung. Moreover, you will also get Ragnarök.
Ragnarök
The Ragnarök will be a potent weapon used as a component for the upgraded version. Aside from Ragnarök being the crafting component, you will also need other components. Firstly, you will need three Orichalcums, two dark steel, and one primitive battle horn.
To obtain the rest of the crafting components, you will need to come to Hunt board targets, and you will have to complete the ones with mystery locations. After completing these, you can get the rest of the crafting elements.
Under New Management Quest (Orichalcum)
Before coming to these, complete the” Under New Management,” a quest in two parts. Again, this quest will be relatively simple. To meet and end this quest, go to the North Reach and talk to Isabella to start the search.
The quest objectives will include settling the issue between the villagers and slaying some fallen thralls. You will get one of the Orichalcum we require by completing these quests. Along with unlocking the Orichalcum, it will open the ability to hunt the Prince of Death.
Hunting Prince of Death
After unlocking this ability, let’s go hunting him since he will be the key to unlocking the rest of the crafting elements. H will be located in Sambreck within the Royal Meadows. Once you reach the proper location, you will see an animation with the Prince of Death.
Note that if you have not completed the previous quests as explained in the guide, you will not be able to see the Prince of Death, and hence there will be no quest available. If you want to have a thrilling fight with the prince of death, go without accessories, and it will be a good ride.
You will get your first dark steel by defeating this prince of death.

Defeating Thanatos
For the second dark steel, you must travel to Dal Makia, start off the Gilded Path fast travel points, and then find Thanatos on the map. You will have to defeat Thanatos to obtain the second dark steel.
Battle Horn
Now, you must unlock the primitive battle horn by defeating Thanatos after obtaining the dark steel. This will be faster to get as it will be closer to our current location on the map and have quicker travel points.
You will travel to Eistla in the whale and find Gobermouch quite easily after climbing some stairs. You will be fighting a goblin which will have much health during the fight.
For the next ones to defeat, you must increase your gaming level as you will be fighting with S-rank bounty targets, which will be difficult to kill.
Cressida
The first one will be the Cressida in Rosaria. To get there, you will travel fast through the East Pool point. You will have to kill a few before you get there. After defeating it, you will observe a large area with an atlas bounty Target. This will grant you one more Orichalcum.
Velkroy
After heading back to Velkroy, our target will be an S-class bounty chimera named Gorgimera. The pro tip for fighting with Gorgimera is to stay close to the target at all times during the fight and apply damage to it before it casts any spells.
After completing all these quests, you will have all the required crafting essentials, so head back to the blacksmiths in the hideaways and then craft the most potent weapon as your first play-through in the game.
The Black Hammer
The black hammer will have a damage of 375, and you will also get a trophy after crafting this weapon.
