Tower of Babel Revisited
The upper floors of the Tower of Babel branch off the Cave of Eblan exit. Six chests on the way up, then a trap drops the party back into the underworld section for 2 more chests and 3 floor-exclusive bestiary entries.
Upper Floors
New Enemies (*Missable)
Four new bestiary entries across the climb, plus a monster-in-a-box on B2. Grudger absorbs Lightning, so don’t cast Thunder on it; weak to Holy if Rosa has Holy Arrows equipped.
B1
Walk north to a dead end to trigger a cutscene where Edge breaks through the wall. Open the chest nearby for a Unicorn Horn. Loop south and follow the linear path toward the door, but don’t go through yet. Cut northeast first and grab the Silver Hourglass. Now backtrack and walk through the door.
B2
Walk northeast and follow the path to a split. Cut south and open the chest for a monster-in-a-box against four Mad Ogres. Reward: Ogrekiller. Backtrack to the split and continue west through the door.
B3
Walk south, then east past the door, then north to find a chest: Lilith’s Kiss. Loop back to the door you passed and go through it.
B4
Follow the linear path east. Open the chest along the way for Ashura. Equip it on Edge. Continue through the door. You emerge on a different part of B3. The first door is a save point; the second continues forward. Walk through the second door to B4 again, then take the obvious door on the west.
B5
Take the west bridge across, then walk all the way west and north. Open the chest for 82,000 Gil. That’s 6/6 upper floor chests. Heal and quick save at the platform before the boss.
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.
Underworld Trap
After the fight, walk north through the door into the Crystal Room. Step forward to fall into a trap that drops you back into the underworld section of the tower. Two more chests and three floor-exclusive bestiary entries remain.
New Enemies (*Missable)
Underworld 8F
Walk north and open the chest for a Hi-Potion. Lamia Matriarch, Mythril Golem, and the rare Green Dragon spawn on these underworld floors and don’t appear anywhere else; fight until all three register. Walk south through the door.
Underworld 7F to 6F
Walk north through the door to 7F, then continue. On 6F, push south to the bottom, then northeast to find the last chest: Hi-Potion. That’s 8/8 chests. Confirm every bestiary entry is registered before triggering the final scene. Walk south, then east through the door.
A long cutscene closes the chapter. Continue to Underworld Exploration.
