FF WalkthroughWith the Fire Crystal restored, it's time to claim the Airship. The Levistone - the key to raising it - is buried in the Cavern of Ice. Sail north from Crescent Lake to a bay, then use the Canoe on the western river. Head north at every fork until you reach two paths going west. Take the lower path to find the cave entrance.
Cavern of Ice
This dungeon has ice floors that crack and collapse when you step on them. Some falls are required to reach treasure and the Levistone. Spiky ice patches work like the lava in Mt. Gulg - each step costs 1 HP per party member.
Most enemies here are undead or ice-based. Fire spells and Dia clear groups quickly. Watch out for Mindflayers - their attacks can instantly kill party members. Kill them first or run. Check the bestiary for full enemy weaknesses.
Entrance
From the entrance, walk east and around the corner to reach the stairs. The next room has no treasure - take either the west or south path to the next stairs. You'll reach a tiny room with stairs leading down.
Cracked Ice Floor
This floor has the Levistone in a central room surrounded by cracked ice. Don't grab it yet. First, get the two chests on either side: a Flame Sword (left) and Clothes (right, guarded). Walk carefully around the cracks to reach them. After grabbing both, step on any crack around the Levistone to fall to B3.
Ice Tunnels
You'll land in a room with undead enemies - use Dia or Fire to clear them. Exit and go left across the spiky ice to a small room with Mythril Gloves and Ice Armor (guarded by dragons). Return to where you landed and head south as far as you can go, then west to a room with six Gil chests.
Go back north, then east to find stairs. Exit the tiny room to grab a chest, then check the small room just south of the door for another chest. Continue east to a long room with three chests and a crack in the floor. Grab the Ice Shield and other items. If you need to heal, the stairs in the northeast lead back to B1 where you can exit and rest.
Evil Eye
Step on the crack in the long room on B1. You'll fall directly in front of the Levistone. Walk carefully to avoid the surrounding cracks.
After defeating the Evil Eye, grab the Levistone. Retrace your steps back through the dungeon. You'll have to fight the undead on B3 again. Take the northeast stairs to exit instead of falling through cracks.
Raising the Airship
Return to Crescent Lake and rest at the inn. South of town is a small desert called Lykion Desert. Walk into the sand with the Levistone in your inventory. The ancient Lufenian Airship rises from beneath the dunes.
The Airship can land on grass anywhere in the world. Before hunting the next Fiend, fly to the Citadel of Trials in the northeastern islands. The Rat's Tail inside lets you upgrade your party to advanced classes - Warrior becomes Knight, Thief becomes Ninja, and your mages gain access to higher-level spells.
Treasure Chests
The Cavern of Ice has valuable gear scattered across its floors:
- Cavern of Ice - 15+ chests including Flame Sword, Ice Armor, Ice Shield, and Mythril Gloves
