Ancient's Maze

Terrain Ability Varies by map
To reach the Ancient's Maze, you'll need all four fangs. Proceed between the Ancient Statues on foot to destroy them. You'll need The Invincible to get past the mountains. Be aware that you will be attacked in the air in this Area (though the Monsters are not nearly as powerful as those on the ground).

The first time you come here, you should proceed immediately to the Crystal Room and take on Titan to claim your next set of Jobs.

When venturing to the Crystal Tower, keep in mind that you can't Teleport out of any Areas for the rest of the game (including the Ancient's Maze, the Crystal Tower, or the World of Darkness). Though for some reason you can Teleport from the Crystal Room.
