:You will discover another mage who will challenge you before you can proceed to the sixth floor. This time, the mage will transform himself into a Frost Gigas. Everything from the previous Gigas fight applies to this one, except that his weakness is Fire and not Blizzard. Have any mage cast Fire (if they can do more damage with the spell than the Flame weapon they are equipped with) and have the rest attack. Ice armor can lessen the impact of any ice spell he casts. Beat the Frost Gigas and proceed to the next floor. | :You will discover another mage who will challenge you before you can proceed to the sixth floor.

;Floor 6:This floor contains a small maze of passages. There are two chests to find on this floor. The first is far to the right along the top wall and contains a Potion. You must navigate across the passages to the middle, and then out to the right. Ignore both doors that you encounter on the right side of the floor, and stay on the passages to the bottom, and then to the left. Before you reach the door in the lower left corner, be sure to open the chest along an isolated path. It contains the Evil Staff (or Wizard's Staff in the remakes), a powerful weapon which can cast Scourge in battle. | ;Floor 6:This floor contains a small maze of passages.

;Floor 7:This floor has a fairly open floor plan, with many columns sprinkled throughout. There are three chests, all of which contain some status changing item that can be used in battle. There are also three doors along the right half of the floor which should be avoided. The only door you should investigate is the one in the upper left corner. | |||
:This door leads to a third mage who challenges you to a battle just before transforming into a Gigas. This time, he becomes a Thunder Gigas. As a Thunder Gigas, he has lightning powers, but is weak against poison attacks, so use them to your fullest. The Evil (Wizard's) Staff that you picked up earlier is a good start. Nothing else will be that effective against him, not even dual Ogrekillers. Cast Protect, Shell, and Blink to protect your party, and Cure as often as necessary to get through this battle alive. | |||
;Floor 8:The eighth floor is composed of a series of small hallways split down the middle. Each hallway contains a door. The challenge is to find the one door which actually leads to the next floor. All of the other doors are the usual empty rooms with high encounter rates. Whether you discover on your own, or by reading this walkthrough, the door you seek is near the upper right corner, but before you go through it, be sure to check the chest at the very top of the room. It contains a Flare Tome, but it also leads to a forced fight against a Devil Bloom plant, and two of the Gotus enemy that you fought when you took back Phin Castle. You may even be fortunate enough to obtain the powerful Ripper knife, dropped by Gotus on occasion. | |||
;Floor 9:This floor contains three chests, one of which leads to a particularly interesting fight. From the entrance, head to the left to find a chest with a Cross. Then return to the right and investigate above the entrance to find an Hourglass. Now you must cross to the left, and up the left side of the room to reach the top. Near the top is a chest which contains the Black Robes, amazing armor for any player who specializes in Black magic. However, opening the chest will force you into a fight with a boss creature, the White Dragon. The White Dragon is about as powerful as the Thunder Gigas you recently faced, only the White Dragon is ice-based and weak to fire. Return to using all of your fire based attacks to reduce the White Dragon's hit points as quickly as possible. When you win the fight, be sure to equip the Black Robe, and proceed to the set of doors down and to the right of the chest. Only one of the four doors leads to the tenth floor: the second from the left. | |||
;Floor 10: The tenth floor is wide open and contains no enemies. You will finally discover Minwu standing near the door at the top of the room. Once you arrive, Minwu will use every last ounce of his power to shatter the barrier protecting the door in the back. He will effectively sacrifice himself in order to give you access to the Ultima Tome, and pass away. Head through the door, and you will find four silver orbs and a golden orb in the center. Be sure to get the gold orb last, as the four silver orbs contain powerful elemental magic which will enhance the attributes of your party members; Fire will increase Strength, Earth will increase Spirit, Water will increase Intelligence, and Wind increases Agility. With each increase, every party member's particular stat increase by 10 points. This should dramatically improve your performance in battle. Then head for the gold orb and claim the Ultima Tome. Upon doing so, a warp tile will appear above that can instantly transport you outside the tower. | |||
With the Ultima Tome in hand, you'll need to return to Phin Castle to determine what your next steps will be. | |||
