Arcane Labyrinth

The Arcane Labyrinth (ひもんのめいきゅう, Himon no Meikyu)is the new set of dungeons featured on Final Fantasy II Anniversary. It consists of a group of four dungeons who are named according to their location:


 * NW which is located west of Salamand and has 4 floors;
 * NE which is located north of Bafsk and has 7 floors;
 * SE which is located west of Kashuan and has 10 floors;
 * The final dungeon is named the Arcane Sanctuary and is located in the mountains north of Poft.

To navigate through these dungeons, the player must choose a password from the ones he learned on his/her playthrough and break the seals throughout each dungeon. New words are learned during the journey as well. Finally, after defeating every dungeon's boss, the player must head to the Arcane Sanctuary and descend a huge staircase to find Deumion and his summoned creature Phrekyos. After defeating Phyrekos, Deumion will ask the player if they have a particular wish, and upon receiving a certain password, he will give the party a prize.

The Ultimate Weapon for each character can be obtained this way, but the player has to use certain words when navigating through the Labyrinths. These words need to have a relation to the character, and can be found by questioning the mages standing in the dungeons' entrances. Deumion must also receive the word which best suits the character.

New Spells
To receive one of the new spells of the game, Revive, the player must fight Phrekyos, Deumion's summon, and give Deumion the Light of Hope. If the party wishes to receive the game's most powerful spell, Destroy, they must give Deumion the Destruction key word and defeat him. It is impossible to obtain both spells in the same game file.

Floors
There are 45 possible floors in the Arcane Labyrinth, although only 21 can be chosen in each run. A minimum of 22 keywords is needed to obtain an item from Deumion. Each corresponds to a certain keyword, and each has a certain task to be done, which will give the player either a new password or a tip on how to beat another floor's task.
