Navigate the Dragon Caves, Caravan, Waterfall Cavern, and Sunken Shrine in Final Fantasy I. Get class upgrades, essential items, and face the Kraken.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Dragon Caves: Locate the Dragon Caves west of the Citadel of Trials. Explore them to find treasures like X-Potion, Dry Ether, Elixer, Tent, and Cottage, totaling around 20000 Gil. One cave leads to B2 where you'll find Bahamut. Speak with Bahamut and present the Rat's Tail to upgrade your party's classes.
  2. 2
    Caravan/Gaia: Gather 40000 Gil. Fly to the desert area northwest of the World Map. Find Caravan in the middle of a small desert beside a small forest. Purchase the Bottled Faerie for 40000 Gil. Return to Gaia, triggering a scene where the Faerie emerges from the bottle. Follow the path to the top right of town to find the Faerie and obtain the Oxyale.
  3. 3
    Waterfall Cavern: Fly to the northwest area of the World Map (east from Gaia). Land your airship south of the waterfall and use the canoe to reach it. Inside, go up the path and turn left, ignoring the bottom path. At a junction, take the northwest (top right) path to the end. In this room, find the Wizard's Staff, Ribbon, Defender, 13450 Gil, 6400 Gil, and 5000 Gil. Talk to the robot in the same room to receive the Warp Cube.
  4. 4
    Onrac/Sunken Shrine: Travel east of the waterfall to find Onrac. Go to the bottom right and talk to the girl, then examine the barrel to proceed into the Sunken Shrine.
  5. 5
    Sunken Shrine - 3F: Go North, passing a junction. The East path yields 2000 Gil, and the West path yields 9900 Gil. Return to the junction and go North, taking the northeast stairs.
  6. 6
    Sunken Shrine - 4F: Proceed West via the left path. Turn North and enter the top room for the Diamond Armor. Leave and head to the southernmost area; a passage leads to rooms with Light Axe, Mage's Staff, and 12350 Gil, and stairs to the next floor.
  7. 7
    Sunken Shrine - 5F: This floor is a 4x4 grid. Room 02 is the entrance from 4F. Treasures are located as follows: 03 (Antidote), 04 (Diamond Shield), 06 (9000 Gil, 1760 Gil, Diamond Armlet), 11 (4150 Gil), 12 (5000 Gil), 14 (2750 Gil), 15 (10000 Gil, 10 Gil), and 16 (Diamond Helm, Diamond Gloves, Rosetta Stone - MUST TAKE!). Note that some passages are blocked, requiring access from other directions. Room 16 is accessed from behind room 13.
  8. 8
    Sunken Shrine - Navigation: After obtaining the Rosetta Stone, return to 3F. Go to the North-West and take the stairs in the corner. On 2F, proceed to the North-East corner. On 3F, take the stairs. On 4F, move to the South-East corner. On 3F, enter the room for 110 Gil and 450 Gil, then exit South and take the stairs. On 2F, the South room contains 7690 Gil and 8135 Gil. The second South room has 385 Gil, 5450 Gil, and Giant's Gloves. The North part has a room with Ribbon, 990 Gil, 7349 Gil, and 2750 Gil. Another room contains a Light Axe. Finally, head North-West and take the stairs.
  9. 9
    Sunken Shrine - 1F: Go North, follow the path West, passing several doors until you reach the boss room in the North.
  10. 10
    BOSS: Kraken (HP: 1800): Prepare for the Kraken fight.
