Kashuan Keep

Sprite

Treasures 12 Value 6,650 gil

Kashuan Keep is an interesting location. You can visit the first floor any time you want, and indeed the enemies you'll find there are relatively tame. Once you obtain the Goddess's Bell and make it to the upper floors, however, things get a lot tougher. You will encounter Gordon here once you bring the Goddess's Bell, and he will join your party. Also of note is that there is a Chocobo Forest directly south of the keep. You can ride a chocobo wherever you like without fear of encounters. If you need to rest, consider returning to Poft to stay at the inn, then having Cid fly you back to Kashuan afterward. It will cost you 400 gil, but it saves a lot of time. Then again, Gordon could benefit from the easy encounters to build up his skills—the choice is yours.
