4.4 Return to the Tower of Babil
---------------------------------------

Let’s review our newest party member. Edge is ambidextrous; he can equip a weapon in both hands. He can also use some basic Elemental attacks with ‘Ninjutsu’, and use ‘Throw’ to dart unused weapons at the enemy, for decent damage. You can even buy cheap weapons you don’t use anymore just for the sake of throwing them for some extra damage. There are also certain items that are solely for the purpose of using Throw with them, such as the Shuriken you found in the Eblan Cave. And finally, using ‘Steal’, Edge will attempt to steal an item from an enemy. Usually he’ll miss at lower levels, but you can steal the same item over and over again, and theoretically steal any amount of it that you want. However, without a high Agility stat, Edge won’t succeed very often in his pickpocketing attempts.

From the entrance, keep going up the stairs. You’ll eventually be stopped by a wall that prevents access to inside the tower, but Edge will work some of his Ninjutsu and pull the party right through the wall.

Right after he does that, you’ll have control again. Just in case, you actually can go right through the wall to exit the tower by going up next to it and pressing OKAY. Edge will pull you through again. Anyway, grab the chest up near you for a Unihorn (Unicorn Horn). After that, follow the linear path until you’re near the door to the next level. Ignore it, and go to the right and up for a chest with a HrGlass2 (Hourglass 2). Now go through the door.

On this next area, go right and up from the entrance, and follow the path along the ledge until you see steps below you and another ledge to your left. Go down the long steps to a monster-in-a-box with four Mad Ogres. These are quite tough. Go all out with Rydia’s summons (except Titan), attacks from Cecil, Kain, and Edge, and Rosa healing the party of course. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have Rosa cast Berserk on one of the fighters. For winning, you’ll receive an Ogre (Ogre Axe). It does exceptional damage against Ogre enemies, so those Mad Ogres in this area can be offed in one hit. Now head back up the long steps, and take the left path. Follow it until you reach the door to the next area, and go through it.

On this area, follow the path from the entrance until you reach the next door. Don’t head through it yet. Instead go to the right, to another chest containing a Succubus. Now go through the door.

The next level is the outside section you couldn’t reach before in the tower. From the entrance, head right, and follow the path (notice that enclosure?), picking up the Ashura (a katana for Edge) on the way. Then enter the door to the next level.

On this floor, head right from the entrance. Follow the linear path, ignoring that glowing orb, it’s just for show. On the right side of this floor you’ll see two doors. The left door is a Save Point, resting and saving would be very ideal. Exit the Save Point, and go through the right door to the next floor.

This next floor is just an enclosure. Go through the door on the left to the next floor.

Right when you enter this floor, you’ll see two bridges going down as you enter. Go down the left one; the right one is a dead end. Once you go down, follow the path until you see a bridge going up to a door, which leads to the next area. Ignore it, and keep going left until you see three more bridges going up. Go up the middle one to a chest containing a whopping 82,000 Gil. Now go through the door, or try to...
