Blackmoon Prophecy[]
Gilgamesh searches the world high and low for the sword known as Excalibur, his search even leading to the Underworld where he delivered magical seeds to the subterranean ghouls which allowed them to grow trees in the inhospitable volcanic landscape.
When the party locates Siegfried Sigmundson after the merging of the worlds, Gilgamesh makes his first actual appearance when he is presented as Siegfried's rival who is also searching for Excalibur. The spirit of the lake grants the legendary blade to Siegfried and, with Vahn, the two vanquish Gilgamesh.
Using sheer stubbornness, Gilgamesh returns from the dead and reappears at the Tomb of Takka where he is searching for the knowledge of the deceased Takka, a famed blacksmith of the Esper world who was said to be able to create weapons of unimaginable power. Vahn confronts Siegfried and vanquishes the man once again.
