Found In Gurgu Volcano B2
The Giant Sword is a bit less powerful than the Silver Sword, but it does add 5 Hit Rate and has a better crit rate. It is unlikely that the difference in Hit Rate will grant any of your characters an extra attack when you get the sword, but it is still worth noting, and may be useful for RedMAGES just for the increased accuracy.

The Claymore is a bit less powerful than the Mythril Sword, but it does add 5 Accuracy. It is unlikely that this difference will grant any of your characters an extra attack when you get the sword, but it is still worth noting, and may be useful for Red Mages just for the increased hit chance. You will be fighting a lot of Giants in the Area anyway, so it's a nice sword to have.
