Completing the main campaign of Cygames' massive expansion DLC for Granblue Fantasy: Relink is only the beginning of your journey. The post-game portion of the expansion introduces a massive suite of progression tracks, high-difficulty encounters, and complex equipment systems designed to test even the most coordinated parties. This comprehensive Endless Ragnarok endgame checklist is designed to guide players through the transition from story mode to the absolute limits of post-game optimization. Whether you are playing on PS5, PS4, Switch 2, or PC (Steam), mastering the Endless Ragnarok endgame content requires a structured approach to upgrading your characters, weapons, and combat systems.
If you are wondering what to do after the story in Endless Ragnarok, your immediate focus must shift toward unlocking the highest difficulty tiers, farming rare materials in solo roguelite runs, and transcending your weapons. The expansion features full cross-platform play, allowing you to team up with players across all systems to tackle these challenges. Use this Endless Ragnarok post game guide to prioritize your activities, optimize your party of 28 characters, and prepare for the hardest encounters in the game.
Step 1: Unlock the Epilogue and Chaos Difficulty
Your first objective after the credits roll is to clear the prerequisite quests that gate the true post-game loop. You cannot access Weapon Transcendence or the Summon System without completing the Epilogue. To trigger this storyline, you must complete the Proud-difficulty quest "The Tale of Bahamut's Rage." Once this quest is cleared, a series of story events will unlock at the dock in Seedhollow, culminating in a confrontation with Beelzebub, the major antagonist of the expansion.
Defeating Beelzebub unlocks Chaos Difficulty, the highest quest tier in the game. In Chaos difficulty, enemies gain massive health pools and can easily one-hit characters who have not optimized their defensive sigils. This tier also introduces new boss fights, including The World (an Arcarum creation) and Ragnalia (the Heralds of Doom), alongside high-tier challenges featuring Seofon and Tweyen.
| Quest Name | Difficulty | Key Boss | Unlock Requirement | Key Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Tale of Bahamut's Rage | Proud | Proto-Bahamut | Clear all prior Proud quests | Bahamut Horn, Terminus Weapon drops |
| Chaos Descending | Chaos | Beelzebub | Complete the Epilogue storyline | Chaos Calamity Core, Dark Matter |
| Genesis of the World | Chaos | The World | Clear "Chaos Descending" | Arcarum Verum, World Essence |
| Heralds of Doom | Chaos | Ragnalia | Clear "Genesis of the World" | Doom Herald Horn, Weapon Transcendence materials |
Step 2: Conquer The Conflux Roguelite Mode
Once Chaos difficulty is unlocked, you gain access to The Conflux, a solo-only roguelite mode accessible via gateways located in Seedhollow or the Tredame Sanctum. The Conflux serves as the fastest source of enhancement materials required for endgame progression. Each run takes approximately 20 minutes and consists of randomly generated rooms containing combat encounters, treasure chests, or rare monsters.
Before entering each area within The Conflux, you must choose from a selection of temporary power-ups. These power-ups remain active until you exit or fail the run. As you descend deeper into the depths, the difficulty scales exponentially, but the quality of the rewards improves dramatically.
How to Structure Your Conflux Runs:
- Prepare Your Build: Since this is a solo mode, ensure your active character has self-sustaining skills. Characters like Sandalphon or Vaseraga excel here due to their high survivability and self-healing capabilities.
- Prioritize Room Types: Always prioritize Rare Monster rooms when they appear, as they drop exclusive Sigil upgrade materials. Choose Treasure rooms if your health is low, as they contain healing shrines.
- Select Compatible Power-ups: Focus on stacking Critical Hit Damage, Skill Cooldown Reduction, and Link Time generation buffs.
- Target Depth 50+: The most valuable materials, such as Astral Shards and Conflux Tokens, only drop consistently once you clear Depth 50.
| Room Type | Danger Level | Primary Drops | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Combat Chamber | Moderate | Weapon EXP Crystals, Gold | Focus on area-of-effect skills to clear mobs quickly. |
| Rare Monster Gate | High | Astral Shards, Conflux Tokens | Save your Skybound Arts (SBA) to burst down the elite target. |
| Treasure Vault | Low | Curios, Sigil Dust, Potions | Open all chests and break environmental objects for hidden loot. |
| Gateway Boss | Very High | Conflux Cores, Transcendence Elixirs | Learn the boss's telegraphs; failure resets your run progress. |

Step 3: Weapon Transcendence and Fatebreaker Quests
Weapon Transcendence is the primary method for scaling your damage output to meet the demands of Chaos-difficulty quests. This system allows you to upgrade fully enhanced weapons beyond their standard limits. There are six weapon types eligible for Transcendence: Defender, Ascension, Executioner, Stinger, Stunner, and Terminus.
To transcend a weapon, you must gather materials from high-difficulty Fatebreaker quests and The Conflux. Weapon Transcendence unlocks customizable traits in Slot II (up to level 25) and Slot IV (up to level 10), alongside exclusive Slot EX rewards and unique aesthetic weapon glows.
Transcendence Upgrade Priorities:
- Terminus Weapons: These should always be your top priority for Transcendence. The raw attack power and built-in Sigil booster traits make them the strongest weapons for all 28 characters.
- Ascension Weapons: Excellent secondary choice for support-oriented characters like Maglielle due to the HP and healing cap increases.
- Stinger Weapons: Useful for critical-hit-focused builds if you have not yet acquired a character's Terminus weapon.
| Weapon Type | Transcendence Slot II Max | Transcendence Slot IV Max | Key Upgrade Material | Source Quest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Terminus | Level 25 | Level 10 | Calamity Core | Fatebreaker: The Void's Embrace |
| Ascension | Level 25 | Level 10 | Astral Shard | The Conflux (Depth 40+) |
| Stinger | Level 25 | Level 10 | Zephyr Feather | Fatebreaker: Gale Force |
| Defender | Level 25 | Level 10 | Bastion Plate | Fatebreaker: Iron Wall |
To optimize your farming routes for these materials, refer to our Weapon Transcendence Guide.
Step 4: Unlock Master Traits and Optimize Sigils
Upon reaching Level 100 with any character, you unlock their Master Traits menu. Each of the 28 characters has access to three distinct paths: Insight, Essence, and Crux. Unlocking these paths requires Master Points earned from high-level quests and Conflux runs. Each path features three unique Rank Perks and four Rank Style upgrades that fundamentally alter how a character plays.
For example, unlocking the Crux path on Beatrix enhances her Delta Clock mechanic, allowing her to maintain her high-damage state for longer durations. Meanwhile, investing in the Essence path on Fraux increases the damage of her Pactbearer abilities when paired with The Devil.
Master Trait Tree Structure:
Level 100 Unlock
├── Insight Path ──> 3 Rank Perks ──> 4 Rank Style Upgrades (Utility & Cooldowns)
├── Essence Path ──> 3 Rank Perks ──> 4 Rank Style Upgrades (Character Mechanics)
├── Crux Path ──> 3 Rank Perks ──> 4 Rank Style Upgrades (Raw Damage & Cap Breaks)
Alongside Master Traits, you must optimize your Sigil loadout. Endless Ragnarok introduces S-tier Sigils that combine powerful offensive and defensive traits.
Key Sigils to Farm:
- Warpath+ Sigils: These character-specific Sigils add unique modifiers to core mechanics.
- War Elemental+: Converts all damage to the enemy's elemental weakness and adds a secondary utility stat like Cooldown Reduction or Cascade.
- Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Sigils: These A-tier Sigils increase Skybound Art damage, skill damage, and barrier generation respectively when equipped in matching sets.
Step 5: Master the Summon System in Chaos Quests
The Summon System is a vital mechanic exclusive to Chaos-difficulty quests and higher. Lyria can channel primal beasts in combat, providing massive active and passive bonuses to the party. Each player can bring up to four summons into a quest, though only one primal beast can be fielded at any given time.
Controllable Summons:
Unlike standard summons that perform a single attack and exit, Lucilius and Rolan can be directly controlled by the player for a limited duration. While active, they replace your character's standard skill set with high-damage primal abilities.
Triggering Primal Burst:
When all four party members activate their Skybound Arts (SBA) during Link Time, it triggers a Primal Burst. This combined attack deals catastrophic elemental damage to the boss and extends the duration of any active summons. To maximize your damage output, coordinate with your team via crossplay matchmaking to chain your SBAs during the boss's break phase.

FAQ
How do I unlock the Endless Ragnarok post-game content?
To unlock the post-game content, you must complete the main story of the expansion, which leads to the Proud-difficulty quest "The Tale of Bahamut's Rage." Clearing this quest triggers the Epilogue storyline in Seedhollow. Once you complete the Epilogue by defeating Beelzebub, Chaos difficulty, The Conflux, and Weapon Transcendence will become available.
What are the best characters to use for the post-game checklist?
While all 28 characters are viable, Sandalphon is widely considered SS-tier due to his Supreme Primarch Mode and lightstep sword wave spam, which provides unmatched safety and DPS. For support, Maglielle is highly recommended for her flying weapon shields and healing. If you prefer raw melee damage, Vaseraga and Charlotta remain top-tier choices for clearing high-difficulty Chaos quests.
Where can I farm Weapon Transcendence materials efficiently?
Weapon Transcendence materials are best farmed by running Fatebreaker quests on Chaos difficulty for specific boss drops (such as Calamity Cores from Beelzebub). For general materials like Astral Shards and Transcendence Elixirs, running The Conflux solo mode and reaching Depth 50 or higher is the most time-efficient method.
How does the Summon System work in multiplayer?
In multiplayer Chaos quests, each of the four players can bring four summons. Only one summon can be active on the field at a time to prevent visual clutter and balancing issues. If multiple players activate their summons simultaneously, they enter a queue. Coordinating your summon activations during Link Time allows you to trigger a Primal Burst, maximizing your group's damage output.
