Added 99,999 Attack / 1 durability profile, Chapter 12 Journey's End acquisition, and Slashing Reeds pairing tip.

Axe of the Apocalypse is a Normal axe in Crimson Desert. An apocalyptic tool feared even by the gods. A transcendent power, capable of sundering the very earth, surges through your fingertips. Yet, the moment that power is liberated, the axe will shatter, unable to withstand the overwhelming recoil.

The Axe of the Apocalypse carries a 99,999 Attack stat, which is the single highest attack value in the game. The catch is a durability pool of exactly 1: a single swing breaks the weapon, and it cannot be repaired afterward.
The axe is awarded automatically at the start of the Journey's End quest in the Chapter 12 epilogue, after Kliff defeats Umbra in The Void during a dragon-mounted aerial battle and the closing cutscenes play out. The weapon shows up in the inventory when Kliff wakes up in Pailune for the epilogue.
Because of the durability constraint, the practical use of the axe is to finish off a difficult boss in a single hit during the last health phase, or as an emergency tool when a run is about to fail. Pairing the swing with armor that carries the Slashing Reeds Abyss Gear effect is the common workaround for unlocking the damage without consuming the durability point.
