Fanatics’ Tower

Before climbing

In the World of Ruin, bring Relm to the base to recruit Strago; the climb is optional. Save outside and prepare learned spells and MP recovery. The tower restricts ordinary battle commands, so plan around magic.

Climb and summit

In the first treasure room, inspect the wall immediately to the right of the chest. A new room opens on the floor below with Edgar’s Air Anchor. The White Dragon waits farther up. The top room contains the Gem Box, called Soul of Thamasa in later translations.

On leaving that room, fight MagiMaster (Magic Master in later translations). Expect changing elemental defenses and a final Ultima when his HP runs out. Have Life 3 (Reraise) active before dealing the last hit; Ultima bypasses Reflect.
