Tower of Mirage

Maps 1F, 2F, 3F

Treasures 18

The Tower of Mirage consists of two large, Treasure-filled floors, and a small top floor that serves as a warp to the Flying Fortress as well as a mini-boss fight against a Blue Dragon. The game intends for you to come here twice, the first time to discover that you need the Warp Cube to proceed to the Flying Fortress. Feel free to save yourself some walking by visiting the Waterfall Cavern first, though it is worth coming here early for the Treasures within. The best part is none of those Treasures are guarded by Set Encounters.

The first floor is easily bypassed if you're not looking to open any chests. Simply enter the large room, then exist to the stairs going up. The second floor is more complicated, and you'll have to work your way around the outside to get to the stairs. Don't miss the central Treasure room, which contains a number of great items. On the third floor you will fight a Blue Dragon each time you enter the warp room. Like most Dragons, they key is to counter its Special Attack (in this case with NulBolt) and take it down hard with physical attacks.
