Previously, the party found the Rat Tail in the Citadel of Trials, and Bahamut upgraded their vocations. Now, they will go to Mount Gulg and work on restoring light to the Fire Crystal.

In the southeast, Mount Gulg is a volcano in a circular lake west of Crescent Lake (time 0:23). The story expects you to canoe there from Crescent Lake, but if you got the airship first, you can just land it outside. There is lots of lava. It will damage the party when they step on it, but there are no enemy encounters on the lava tiles. Too bad we don't have Float from the later games. The party begins on floor B1.

In the northwest, the party descends to floor B2 (time 1:48). The northern room is a large maze of corridors with treasures.

In the southeast, a Fire Elemental guards a chest containing 1,520 gil (time 2:20).

North of this chest, there is a chest containing a Mythril Helm (time 3:35).

After a battle, the party reaches Level 31 (time 3:53).

North and west, a chest contains a Great Sword (time 5:22).

To the east, a chest contains 4,150 gil (time 7:34).

Around to the west, there are two chests in an enclosed area (time 9:15). They contain 750 gil and 795 gil.

There are several chests in the south (time 10:49). The northwest pair contain Mythril Gloves and a Mythril Helm. The southwest pair contain a Hi-Potion and a Tent. The eastern group contains 1,975 gil, an Antidote, 1,455 gil, 1,520 gil, 1,760 gil, a Mythril Shield, a Mythril Axe, and a Phoenix Down.

While grabbing these chests, the party reaches Level 32 (time 12:10).

In the southwest, the party goes downstairs to floor B3 (time 15:45). The party finds no treasure in this area.

To the east, the party descends to floor B4 (time 16:20). The party finds a great deal of lava here.

To the southeast, they go up to floor B3 (time 16:26). This is a lava-filled maze.

In the southwest, they go down to floor B4 (time 17:09). There are treasure rooms on this floor. They begin in the northeast.

Just north of the stairway, there are two chests (time 17:30). They contain a Gold Needle and 2,750 gil.

In a treasure room along the path to the southwest, there is a chest containing 1,760 gil (time 18:52).

The northwest treasure room holds five chests (time 19:04). They contain an Antidote, 7,340 gil, a Flame Shield, an Ice Brand, and 880 gil.

To the southeast from the previous room, there is a room with two chests (time 20:24). They contain 155 gil and 10 gil. I guess these are the duds.

There are three chests in the room to the northeast (time 20:42). One is linked to another chest in the dungeon. The other two contain 2,000 gil and a Cottage.

The treasure room to the southeast houses two chests (time 21:37). They contain 1,250 gil and a Staff.

Continuing on, the party reaches Level 33 (time 22:23).

In the southeast of the floor, the party goes down to floor B5 (time 22:54). This is the last floor. It has the general shape of an asterisk.

A few of the treasure rooms have chests linked to other chests in the dungeon.

In the western room, a treasure chest contains a Flame Mail (time 28:23). Look out for a fixed encounter with Red Dragon(s).

In the southwest room, the party finds the Altar of Fire (time 29:51). When the party examines the red orb, Marilith, the Fiend of Fire, appears. She was called Kary in the NES version of the game. This sword-wielding serpent woman likes to use fire-elemental attacks. NulBlaze will help mitigate them. The general strategy of Haste and Temper on the physical attackers still works.

After the battle, the Fire Crystal regains its light (time 32:05). Elsewhere, the Hellfire Chasm opens for business.

The party exits the dungeon through the warp behind the altar (time 33:02). Next time, the party will continue their journey.

Thanks for watching!
