Fort Tamblin

Fort Tamblin is a location within the island nation of Wutai in Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-. It is a fortress maintained by the Wutai Army, used as a base to fight the forces of Shinra during the last stages of the Wutai War.
==History==
In chapter 1, Zack Fair, still a SOLDIER 2nd Class, was ordered to attack and capture Fort Tamblin with his mentor, Angeal Hewley. Zack single-handedly took the fortress and kills the guards. While he made his way to the fort's center, a girl, Yuffie Kisaragi, appeared and claims to be Wutai's strongest warrior and pretended to fight Zack with punches in the air. She ran off thinking herself victorious, after Zack pretended to be beaten.
Moving forward after the weird encounter, Zack entered a dojo where two giant monsters Wutai has trained as anti-SOLDIER creatures waited. He defeated them, but dropped his guard when a third, larger creature drops in. Angeal rescued Zack, and Fort Tamblin was taken.
The SOLDIERs headed to the back to the camp, along the way meeting Director Lazard, who had been evaluating Zack's combat performance. A group of strange soldiers, who do not work for Wutai. These were part of Genesis Rhapsodos's mass-SOLDIER defection, and had become Genesis copies. A Summon, Ifrit, appeared, which Zack fought, helped by Sephiroth, who killed it in a single stroke of his Masamune.
Afterwards, the SOLDIERs noticed Angeal had disappeared. It appeared he had gone over to Genesis's side, but Zack refused to believe it.
== Gameplay ==
Fort Tamblin, and the surrounding Mt. Tamblin, are the main area of chapter 1. After taking the mountain path down to enter the fought, Zack must defeat as many enemies as possible in the fort's garrison, and the number defeated determines what item rewards are obtained. After this, a first boss battle is fought in the fort against Vajradhara Wu and Vajradhara Tai. The chapter ends with a battle outside the fort, and the final boss battle of the chapter, Ifrit.
==Behind the scenes==
