FINAL FANTASY VI guide ✓ Checked against sources
← All areas in this guide

Located on an isolated island north of Thamasa in the World of Ruin, this pitch-black cavern is navigated by stepping on teleport switches that transport the party between scattered chambers. You must gather pieces of Coral from recurring treasure chests to feed a sentient chest blocking the doorway to Strago's nemesis. Sating the guardian opens the way to confront the legendary creature Hidon and learn an elusive Lore spell.

Tips

  • Do not talk to the hungry chest until you have accumulated at least 22 pieces of Coral, because offering fewer pieces will consume your inventory without opening the doorway.
  • Ensure Strago is alive and conscious when Hidon uses Grand Delta so he can permanently acquire the spell.
