Mirage Tower

The Mirage Tower, also known as the Tower of Mirage, is a location from Final Fantasy. It is located in the middle of the Yahnikurm Desert and can only be accessed with the Chime.
The Mirage Tower's levels are built as a sort of spiral staircase. Most of the levels involve the player beginning at the southeastern edge of the floor, navigating through the circular middle section, and ascending the next staircase at the southwestern edge of the floor. In addition to monsters, machina left over from the Lufenian civilization inhabit the Tower. Some are broken and merely utter garbled syllables, while others provide key items and insights into the history of the Lufenians.
Unlike Mount Gulg and the Sunken Shrine, the enemies here follow no particular elemental affinity. Thus, a variety of strategies are needed to safely reach the apex of the Mirage Tower.
== Story ==
The Warriors of Light enter the Mirage Tower after obtaining the Chime from Lufenia, and at the top, the Warriors of Light must fight a Blue Dragon in order to reach a teleporter. If the heroes have the Warp Cube, they can warp to the Flying Fortress to confront Tiamat, so as to restore the Wind Crystal.
