Esper acquisition

Final Fantasy Resonance Espers: Nine Summons & Unlock Routes

Find the next prerequisite for Siren, Ramuh, Carbuncle, Titan, Ifrit, Shiva, Leviathan, Odin or Bahamut.

The released-game roster documented by ATMA and PowerPyx contains nine Espers. Fina's summoning system is separate from equipped Visions, and the in-game help allows only one Esper in battle at a time.

First summons and exploration

EsperAccessNext step
SirenChapter 1, Siren's TowerContinue the story's tower sequence
RamuhChapter 2, Mt. ThunderclapReturn via the upper entrance, follow the route to the gravestone, interact and win the battle
CarbuncleChapter 3, Ruby CaveStart the gravestone clue, collect the three ordered fragments and return; use the full puzzle route
TitanChapter 4, Sealing StoneWin Colosseum Fledgling Battle 5 for Gaia Hammer; break the stone west of Kol and win

For Ramuh, the route's important distinction is the upper entrance, reached from the world map after emerging from the lower section. The acquisition guide places that approach south of Zidane's sanctum.

Airship and later summons

EsperPrerequisiteRoute or interaction
IfritChapter 5, airshipEnter the smoking volcano in southern Zoldaad and win
ShivaChapter 5, airshipLand on the smaller western Mysidia island, enter the snowstorm and win
LeviathanChapter 5, airshipReturn to Olderion and complete Nichol's Duty
OdinChapter 6 story progressionLearn Holy, clear the miasma and complete Iron Splitter at Bladerain Stele
BahamutChapter 7, airship interiorBoard the ship, see the scene, speak with Evan near the wheel and choose to visit the Esper; win the encounter

These are acquisition conditions, not a claim that the summon battle is safe at any level. Prepare recovery and the correct damage options before an optional challenge.

If an interaction is missing

Check the named chapter prerequisite and whether you are using the correct entrance or ship interior. Flying over a location and boarding the ship are different actions. The acquisition guide reports post-story availability, so a missed optional summon can be part of later cleanup rather than a reason to restart.
