Chest listChests
The upper floors of the Tower of Babel are accessed from the Cave of Eblan exit. Six chests on the way up, Rubicante as the last of the Four Fiends, then a trap drops you back into the underworld section for 2 more chests and 2 exclusive bestiary entries. Collect everything before triggering the final event on 6F.
Tower of Babel upper floors
B1. Head north to a dead end to trigger a cutscene where Edge breaks through the wall. Open the chest nearby for a Unicorn Horn (211/342). Head south and follow the linear path toward the door, but don't go through yet. Head northeast first and grab the Silver Hourglass (212/342). Now go back and through the door.
B2. Head northeast and follow the path to a split. Go south and open the chest for a monster-in-a-box: four Mad Ogres. You've fought these before at Eblan Castle. Reward: Ogrekiller (213/342). Backtrack to the split and continue west through the door.
B3. Go south, then east past the door, then north to find a chest: Lilith's Kiss (214/342). Head back to the door you passed and go through it.
B4. Follow the linear path east. Open the chest along the way for Ashura (215/342), a strong katana for Edge. Continue through the door. You emerge on a different part of B3. The first door has a save point; the second continues forward. Go through the second door to B4 again, then take the obvious door on the left.
B5. Take the left bridge across, then go all the way west and north. Open the chest for 82,000 Gil (216/342). And yes, that's the single richest chest in the entire game. That's 6/6 upper floor chests; head to the middle platform.
How to beat Rubicante
A forced fight against the King and Queen of Eblan plays first. It's unwinnable, so skip turns until it ends. After the cutscene, Rubicante heals your party to full before the real fight begins. No need to use items.
Rubicante has 34,000 HP and alternates between cape open and cape closed. When the cape is open, he's vulnerable to Ice. Rydia's Shiva summon deals massive damage during this window. When the cape is closed, he absorbs elemental attacks, so stick to Bio or non-elemental options. He counters every physical attack with party-wide Fira, so minimize melee and let Rydia carry the damage. His Inferno hits the entire party for devastating damage; Rosa needs to be ready with Curaga and Phoenix Downs at all times.
Underworld trap
After the fight, head north through the door into the Crystal Room. Walk forward to fall into a trap that drops you back into the underworld section of the tower. Two more chests and two bestiary entries remain.
Underworld 8F. Head north and open the chest for a Hi-Potion (217/342). Lamia Matriarch and Mythril Golem spawn on these floors. Fight until both register. Go south through the door.
Underworld 7F. Head north through the door. Underworld 6F. Go south to the bottom, then northeast to find the last chest: Hi-Potion (218/342). That's 8/8 chests. Confirm all bestiary entries are registered (aim for 125/197; 126 if you got the rare Green Dragon). Head south, then east through the door for the final scene.
