Best equipment location ?

[Smasher]

Are there any ultimate equipment like in other JRPGs? And if yes, where do you find them?

[Enik]

In terms of weapons, yes. For Artifacts, there are really great ones, but how you combine them will determine how good they actually are.

Weapon Locations: Spoiler Warning
1. Doug's can be gotten by beating the Snake orbiting Juno. It's by far the strongest weapon, but it's also kind of a "Congrats on completing everything in the game!" situation
2. Boom Boom's can be obtained by completing the Night Club sidequest near the end of the game. Last time I played, there was a bug that made it so you couldn't bring it into NG+ (or maybe you needed to unequip it before the final boss. Either way, NG+ issues)
3. Pablo's is also a quest reward. You need to complete the quest Pablo gives after you embark from the derelict ship
4. Rosie... I don't remember where to her weapon. Sorry. I feel like it's pretty hard
to miss though, maybe part of the story. It was the first one I had, and it makes her survivability VERY high
5. Roberto has no weapons, as far as I know
6. Malefactor comes with his best weapon already

Thank you very much

More details on Rosie’s weapon, you get it by completing the “infestation”side quest and defeating the mama crawler boss on Juno (the fire planet that the red dragon orbits). First, you need to get the “Juno map” item from completing the “maiden voyage” side quest on planet Across.

The ultimate weapons are:

Doug: Black Katana
Boom Boom: Rocket Launcher
Rosie: Soul Fangs
Pablo: Sun Staff
Malefactor: Phantom Blade (his only weapon)

Holy Crown I would say is the best non-weapon equipment, it does continuous healing. It's located in planet Crystalis (Moonfall zone) and it's an item that you get from the local shop and it costs 4000 gold.
