Returners' Hideout

FINAL FANTASY VI guide · Upon reaching the resistance base to confer with Banon about opposing the Empire
← All areas in this guide

After crossing Mt. Kolts, the group reaches the resistance base to confer with the rebel leader Banon, who asks Terra to assist their fight against the Empire. Terra explores the refuge, speaks with her companions, and delivers her decision to Banon near the cavern entrance. Word of an Imperial invasion soon interrupts the meeting, compelling the group to evacuate through the Lethe River.

Shops and people

  • Item Shop Merchant: Sells Potions, Hi-Potions, Ethers, Eye Drops, Echo Screens, Sleeping Bags, Tents, and Sprint Shoes
  • Returner Innkeeper: Offers free lodging that fully restores party HP and MP

Tips

  • Reject Banon's plea three times in a row to secure the Genji Glove rather than the Gauntlet, granting the ability to dual-wield weapons for significantly greater physical damage output.
  • Take advantage of the hideout merchant to purchase Hi-Potions, as this base is the first vendor in the game that carries them.
  • Shift Banon into the back row before stepping onto the Lethe River raft, because his low durability makes him vulnerable to sudden knockouts that cause an immediate Game Over.
