Tower of Babil

Amenities Save Point
The Tower of Babil is a huge Area, but it is divided into two distinct halves. The rising floors represent the Underworld, while the descending basements start from the overworld. (Don't ask why!) The "B" floors are Underworld areas you will revisit on your second trip with new encounters.

In addition to being a very long dungeon, this is where Tents begin to be obsolete. Rosa and Rydia actually have large MP pools, and 100 MP often isn't enough, so you may want to upgrade to Cabins.
