For reference, the fanatic's tower is located on the Serpent Trench, closer to Nikeah (the head of the serpent) than to Mobliz (the tail). This is also where you pick up Strago in his [[Final Fantasy VI/Strago's sidequest|sidequest]]. It is highly recommended that you teach at least one character Ultima before you attempt the tower, as it will make things much easier going. Ultima can be learned either from the Ragnarok esper or the paladin shield, which is the uncursed "cursed shield." Both can be found in [[Final Fantasy VI/Locke's sidequest|Locke's sidequest.]] It is also recommended that you purchase wall rings from Thamasa, at the bottom right of the world map, and equipping them on all your characters. You will be unable to use anything but magic while in the fanatic's tower and you will earn no experience points, so keep that in mind when choosing your party, strong magic users are generally wise to pick, such as Terra, Celes, and Strago. Also make sure someone in your party knows Life 3 for the boss battle. | For reference, the fanatic's tower is located on the Serpent Trench, closer to Nikeah (the head of the serpent) than to Mobliz (the tail).

Umaro can also be useful here, as he doesn't care about the tower's restrictions on the Fight command and the tower's denizens aren't immune to being punched senseless. | ||
If one of your characters knows Ultima you can give them the Gold Hairpin or an economizer if you managed to steal one from an Aquila or win one from a brachosaur. It will do an unblockable magic attack to devastate the opposition. If you don't know Ultima or can't stomach the MP cost, simply cast a high level magic spell on all of your own party or an unblockable one on the opposite party. To restore MP during battles cast Osmose, or stock up on ethers. | If one of your characters knows Ultima you can give them the Gold Hairpin or an economizer if you managed to steal one from an Aquila or win one from a brachosaur.
