The first thing, the sword Excalibur is in The Great Crystal and is located at The Great Crystal / Siluri Meso Oesu.

The Great Crystal is located within giruvegan, and we will only be able to take the sword after receiving the
sword of the covenant. and I recommend going for the sword at a level approximately between 50 and 60, always as long as
you go with a double belt equipped (doubles the vitality).
Below I will put a map taken from ff12maps where I have colored the path and where it is located.
sword.

Data: Each color change is an action we need to take, that is, to activate the switch.
The map:

I'll explain a bit of theory now to take the weapon.

First of all, you will see a trap that will leave you in a state of inversion and useless.
Above the trap is the chest, but that is not the chest of the Excalibur weapon; it is a chest with the following objects:
------------------
In Diamond Bracelet (the diamond bracelet is an object that when equipped finds better items some
times):
80% chance that the chest gives you: 2 maximum guiles
20% of giving you the following object: 50% ball collapse or 50% wise staff.

With diamond bracelet:

80% chance that the chest will give you: 5000 guiles at most
20% that I give you the following object: 90% collapsing ball or 10% revitalizer
-------------------

HERE COMES THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:

The chest with the Excalibur weapon appears after taking the first chest, but there is a 20% chance that it will appear or not.
take out the chest with the Excalibur weapon,

To get the chest with the Excalibur weapon, you don't need to have the diamond bracelet or have any sper.
no requirements, just luck. I am writing this post and I just got it, here are my details:

I tried 8 times in a row, I saved the game at the top of the map, and when I went back to play, I tried again.
and I got it, it turned out that this time it coincided with a special condition, I always when I stepped on the trap
I was waiting to remove the altered states to take the chest, this time no, this time as soon as I stepped on the trap it opened.
the chest gave me a collapse ball and then there was another chest with the Excalibur weapon, I am almost sure that
Even if you meet the same conditions as me, you won't get the same outcome, as it depends on the 20% probability.
just luck.

One more thing I have to say, a very important thing, if you don't get the chest with Excalibur on the first try you have
to go back a few scenarios so that the chest reappears and you have another chance to
to try it. I used to go back to the Leo pedestal that you will see written on the map, I used to go there and come back quickly using the
r2 in escape mode, since they could barely give me the monsters.

Well, I hope this helps and that you include my post in that magnificent manual you have on where to get it.
the best weapons and shields, since the post where Excalibur is found is very varied and very incomplete
with many opinions and you have to read all the posts to more or less know how to get the sword.

P.S.: Forgive my shaky hand while painting the path, haha, it's because I've had a little bit of alcohol and I don't have a
good mouse xD bye
