Sixth Tier

Navigate the Sixth Tier of Taejin's Tower in Final Fantasy XIII. Defeat the Vetala, find the Unsetting Sun weapon, and unlock new paths.

Alright, you've made it to the Sixth Tier of Taejin's Tower! It sounds fancy, but don't worry, we'll get through this together. As soon as you enter, you'll be greeted by a vampire. Take it down, and then chat with the Menhirrim you find nearby. They're important for Mission 25, so make sure you talk to them. If you want to save your game, now's a good time.

Once you're done there, head out through the doorway. You'll run into a single Varcolaci – just a tougher bat-like enemy. Deal with it, and then brace yourself for the next room. A trio of Chonchons will swarm you. These guys are like giant bats, and while they're not too tough, they can inflict Pain and Poison, so keep an eye on your status effects. The only other enemies you'll see in this area are more Varcolaci.

After you've cleared out the enemies, go back and talk to the Menhirrim again. They'll open up some new areas in the Tower for you. Then, head back out to the main circle. You've already been in that first room, so skip it and go into the second room on the right. Inside, you'll find another Vampire and, more importantly, the mark you've been looking for. Before you head downstairs, check out the two treasure spheres in this room. One has 4x Tears of Woe, and the other, in the opposite corner, holds the Unsetting Sun. This is a weapon for Snow that boosts his Strength but has a 'Stagger lock' ability, which is pretty neat.

With those treasures in hand, descend the stairs. You'll be heading back down to the Fifth Tier. Good job navigating the Sixth Tier!
