Citadel of Trials 3F

Treasures 8

Average Encounter 2,432 Exp., 2,640 gil

Other Maps 1F, 2F

Monsters Encountered Dragon Zombie, Horned Devil, King Mummy, Medusa, Mindflayer, Mummy, Rakshasa

There are a lot more Mummies on 3F, but they can be taken down easily with Dia Spells, especially since there are no other Undead encounters aside from the magic-resistant Dragon Zombies. The annoying groups from 2F return to fill out the roster. You will likely run into Mindflayers, and if they surprise you or get lucky with Mind Blast, they can take out your whole party. You will also encounter a few Nightmares after entering the large "inside" section of the floor, and have to fight them again if you decide to grab the Healing Staff. They can dish out plenty of damage to lightly-armored foes, but by now you might have Ruby Armlets and Protect Rings to counteract that. They also like to inflict characters with Darkness, which makes their already high Evasion even more ridiculous.
