South Figaro Cave (World of Ruin)

FINAL FANTASY VI guide · traversing subterranean tunnels to reach the submerged castle

After pursuing the Crimson Robbers and their leader Gerad from South Figaro, the party enters this cavern to reach Figaro Castle, which became trapped beneath the desert sands during the cataclysm. By watching the thieves use food to position a resident turtle as a stepping stone across the recovery pool, the group uncovers an unmapped passage. Navigating these underground tunnels leads straight into the prison cells of the submerged castle.
