Yeti's Cave

FINAL FANTASY VI guide · Recruiting Umaro

Located behind the cliff where the frozen Esper rested in Narshe, this dungeon is reached by leaping into the chasm opened after defeating Valigarmanda in the World of Ruin. Navigating the interior requires managing trapdoors and hidden pitfalls to reach the deepest lair. Inside the den, removing magicite from a bone carving triggers a battle against Umaro, who can then be recruited if Mog is in the active party.
