Fanatics' Tower

FINAL FANTASY VI guide · Climbing to recruit Strago

In the World of Ruin, this towering spire is overrun by Kefka cultists marching in a mindless trance. Bringing Relm here shocks Strago back to his senses right at the ground floor, convincing him to rejoin the active roster. Climbing the tower imposes a strict battle rule where characters can only cast magic, use items, or summon Espers.
