Final Fantasy Resonance espers: all 9 summons and where to get them
Square Enix's esper reveals, plus two guides from the released game
Nine espers, from Siren to Bahamut
Final Fantasy Resonance has 9 espers, the series' summons: Siren, Ramuh, Carbuncle, Titan, Ifrit, Shiva, Leviathan, Odin and Bahamut. Square Enix named all nine and their finishing moves in its updates before launch. Guides written from the released game say where to get each one, starting with Siren in Chapter 1 and ending with Bahamut in Chapter 7.
All 9 espers and where to get them
| Esper | Finishing move | Chapter | How to get it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren | Lunatic Voice: Wind damage to all enemies; may inflict Sleep or Silence | 1 | Beat her in Siren's Tower during the Chapter 1 story. |
| Ramuh | Judgement Bolt: Lightning damage to all enemies | 2 | Beat him in Mt. Thunderclap, in Dirnado. |
| Carbuncle | Ruby Light: Reflects magic cast on your party | 3 | Collect three Ruby Fragments in the Olderion Federation, then return to Ruby Cave. |
| Titan | Gaia's Wrath: Massive Earth damage to all enemies | 4 | Win the Gaia Hammer in the Colosseum's Fledgling League; with it you can fight Titan. |
| Ifrit | Hellfire: Fire damage to all enemies | 4 or 5 | Fly the airship into the volcano in the Zoldaad Empire Territory and beat him. |
| Shiva | Diamond Dust: Ice damage to all enemies | 5 | Enter the ice tornado near Jotunn Cave and beat her. |
| Leviathan | Tsunami: Massive Water damage to all enemies | guides differ | A side quest: Nichol's Duty in RPG Site's walkthrough, Iron Splitter in Game8's list. |
| Odin | Zantetsuken: Non-elemental damage; may cause Instant Death | guides differ | A side quest: Iron Splitter in RPG Site's walkthrough, Nichol's Duty in Game8's list. |
| Bahamut | Megaflare: Massive non-elemental damage to all enemies | 7 | Talk to Evan on the airship and beat Bahamut. |
Square Enix's English updates for Asia named Siren and Ramuh on 24 June 2026, Ifrit, Shiva and Titan on 16 July 2026, and Carbuncle, Leviathan, Odin and Bahamut on 25 August 2026. Where the two guides give different chapters for Ifrit, the table shows both.
Leviathan and Odin: where the guides differ
Both guides get Leviathan and Odin from two side quests, Nichol's Duty and Iron Splitter, but not the same way round. RPG Site's walkthrough earns Leviathan at the end of Nichol's Duty and Odin at the Nameless Ruins after Iron Splitter. Game8's esper list pairs them the other way.
Square Enix's July update says Olderion, the city Nichol's family guards, is protected by an esper the locals call the God of Water. It does not name that esper. Until a third guide settles it, do both quests and you will have both espers.

Square Enix says you unlock espers by playing the story and completing side quests. A summoned esper joins the fight for three turns and uses a powerful finishing move on the last one before it disappears. Summoning takes a large amount of MP, and Square Enix pitches espers as the card that can turn a hard fight.
Two of the main characters are tied to them in their official profiles: Fina can talk to espers without knowing why, and the mysterious woman travels alongside Bahamut.
Steam lists two esper achievements among the 23 it shows openly: Esper's Covenant ("Gain help from 3 espers") and The Sovereigns of the Planet ("Gain help from all espers"). On 25 October 2026 Steam showed 23.4% of players with the first and 0.3% with the second.
