Setzer leads the party into this subterranean crypt to retrieve his departed friend's buried airship, the Falcon.

Tips

Equip the party with Amulets or Ribbons before entering to prevent the frequent zombification inflicted by the tomb's undead enemies.
Unequip Setzer's Viper Darts before fighting in this dungeon, as their instant-death proc will fully heal undead targets.
Have Celes use her Runic command consistently during the Dullahan encounter to absorb harmful spells such as Blizzaga and Holy.
Defeat both the head and shell of Angler Whelk at the exact same moment to obtain two pairs of Dragon Claws instead of just one.
