Underground Prison

Underground Prison is a dungeon located under Figaro Castle in the Desert Region of Grymoire in World of Final Fantasy. It is the only setting in Chapter 14, "Lost Powers" and the starting location of Chapter 15, "The Mako Reactor and the Black Mages".

Story

Conditions

The following conditions occur during the entirety of Chapter 14:

Mirages, Mirage Boards, Mirajewels and Champions will be unavailable when the dungeon is fist visited. There will also be no Gates or access to the Prism Case.
- As a result of this, any Cogna captured will not be able to be upgraded (though they will still gain levels).
- As Tama is also separated from Lann and Reynn during this chapter, if the player's party is defeated in battle, they receive a Game Over.
There are no random encounters in the dungeon. Enemy Searchers will be seen patrolling at set points along the dungeon. If seen, a battle will commence.
- Trash bins can be found near most of the patrol routes. Examining one will cause the party to jump in and can be used to evade the Searcher unit's sight.
Capturing at least one Searcher will allow for Zap points to be opened, as it will have the ability by default.
