Exdeath's bodyguard in another world where tales of the Crystals are told. Although Gilgamesh has enough power to eliminate the entire army of the Bal Kingdom, there is still something off about him. Having been tasked by Exdeath to keep a close watch on the prisoner Bartz and his companions, he eventually found himself cornered by Galuf who was attempting to rescue them. Gilgamesh then fled, but battled the party again once they reached the Big Bridge.

Quotes[edit | edit source]
Background Story[edit | edit source]
5★ | Exdeath's bodyguard in another world where tales of the Crystals are told. Although Gilgamesh has enough power to eliminate the entire army of the Bal Kingdom, there is still something off about him. Having been tasked by Exdeath to keep a close watch on the prisoner Bartz and his companions, he eventually found himself cornered by Galuf who was attempting to rescue them. Gilgamesh then fled, but battled the party again once they reached the Big Bridge. |
---|---|
6★ | Exdeath's most powerful henchman in another world where tales of the Crystals are told. Gilgamesh challenged Bartz and his party to countless fights only to flee from each one of them. Eventually, he even attacked them with a poor replica of the Excalibur, which lead Exdeath to banish him to the Void as a punishment for his incompetence. Although he was tasked with the protection of the legendary Genji equipment, rumor has it that Bartz and his party made off with it in one of their battles against him. |
7★ | A hero from another world where tales of the Crystals are told. Although Gilgamesh once served Exdeath, his continuous failures get him sent to the Interdimensional Rift as punishment. Having crossed swords with Bartz and his friends multiple times, he eventually grows fond of them and even receives them like old friends when they arrive to the Rift following his time isolated there. He momentarily parts from them afterwards, but comes back to support them in their fight against an evil demon. |
Fusion[edit | edit source]
5★ | Oh no! I just realized I have something important to do... Ha ha, just kidding! |

6★ | There is none who can stand against my new power, and the strongest blade in the land! |
7★ | Allow me to show you my top-class power! |
Awakening[edit | edit source]
6★ | Alright, it's time to fight with all I've got! |
---|---|
7★ | I will not allow history to look upon me as some sort of fool! |
Summon[edit | edit source]
5★ | Mwa ha ha ha ha! I was just wondering what I would do, hadn't I been called. |

6★ | The blue sky, the wide ocean... I am full of good vibes. Hey...who dares stand in my way?! |
7★ | Look, monsters! Hmm...? This isn't the Interdimensional Rift?! |

Notes[edit | edit source]
Gameplay
- Gilgamesh's Weapon Collector bonus attack is stackable when he uses Dual Wield materia.
- On his 7
form, if he is equipping two unique weapon types that share one passive, such as sword and great sword for Collector - Short Swords, Swords, and Large Swords, he will gain the passive for each weapon. This means he would have 100% fire resist and 150% physical and magic damage against beasts.
- Tri-Attack is a unique ability that has 1x modifier multiplied 3 times, but does not work like Barrage.
- The only time this mechanic works differently than regular damage is when its modifier is increased 1x by Secrets Hero Art.
- With that passive, the final modifier becomes 6x = 2x * 3
Trivia
- Gilgamesh is one of the franchise's most popular characters after his big debut in Final Fantasy V. He returns in the later installments either as a minor character, optional boss or a summonable character.
- He is famous for this quote:
- "Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men! For Gilgamesh...it is morphing time!"
- His victory pose is an obvious allusion to his never-ending quest to find the legendary sword, Excalibur. He will later realize that it was a fake and he will proceed into throwing the sword to the ground and stomps it repeatedly.
- Shell, Protect and Jump are one of his most memorable in-game sequence attack in Final Fantasy V. It triggers once he has been damaged enough.
- In most games in which he appears as a boss, the Genji Equipment can be stolen from him.
