Phoenix Tower

The Phoenix Tower is a location in Final Fantasy V from Galuf's world, accessible only in the merged world with a black chocobo. It is a thirty-floor tower with several monsters and Magic Pots found throughout. Completing the tower awards the Phoenix summon.
== History ==
Given that Phoenix Tower exists in Galuf's world (but is blocked off by mountains), and is known by villagers in the Phantom Village, it can be assumed it predates the world being split, despite not being mentioned in the Sealed Tome. At some point, a dead dragon ended up in the tower and was reborn as a phoenix.
When the Light Warriors reached the top, Lenna Charlotte Tycoon found her wind drake, Hiryu, wounded from the fight with Melusine earlier. Krile Mayer Baldesion recognized Hiryu as the wind drake that saved Lenna and, able to communicate with him, relayed to Lenna that Hiryu did not have long to live and had come to the tower to help Lenna with the last of his power. After this, Lenna flashed back to the time her mother became gravely ill, and a wind drake's tongue was the only cure; ultimately, Lenna did not remove the wind drake's tongue, and bonded with the wind drake thereafter.
Hiryu, wounded from the fight with Melusine, upheld his word and jumped from the tower, and was reborn as a phoenix which the Light Warriors could summon. Lenna solemnly thanked Hiryu before leaving.
== Geography ==
The Phoenix Tower exists in Galuf's world southwest of Moogle Village, although it is inaccessible as it is surrounded by mountains. In the merged world, it is southwest of the North Mountain, on the tip of a vast desert, meaning a black chocobo must be used to reach it by landing in the desert's small nearby forest.
The tower is a stone structure that inside resembles the Wind Shrine and Island Shrine architecturally, with stone patterns on the pillars. Each floor is nearly identical: the floors are relatively small, with two (normally hidden) staircases used to reach the higher floors.

=== Quests ===
The Phoenix Tower is an entirely optional dungeon visited primarily to obtain the Phoenix summon. However, the Magic Pots also make it an extremely useful location to level up jobs, as each gives 99 AP in exchange for an Elixir.
Most floors possess two hidden staircases that are revealed upon examining the wall: both lead to the next floor, but one is unguarded, while the other is guarded by a random monster. Every five floors except the thirtieth, there are pots on the left and right sides of the room: one contains an amount of gil equal to the floor number multiplied by 1000, while the other is revealed to be a Magic Pot.
Bringing a Blue Mage allows them to learn Roulette from Parthenope.
