Soul Shrine

The Soul Shrine is a bonus dungeon in Final Fantasy VI Advance. The Shrine becomes available after the Dragons' Den has been completed. It is located on a small island near Mobliz.

The Soul Shrine contains a series of 128 battles against most of the enemies and bosses, including the new dragons from the Dragons' Den. While the battles are set up in a particular order (i.e. the Dragon's Den Dragons are the last tier you face), there is a bit of randomness included - what was a Gluttern your first time through may be a Level 90 Magic and a Level 100 Magic the next. You can also fight monsters that you missed during your initial play through, meaning there is a chance you can get a 100% completed bestiary here. Leaving the Shrine causes the battles to be reset.

Another important thing about the Soul Shrine is that the enemies do drop items. This gives another chance to pick up some nice rewards as well as the possibility of getting multiples of some of the ultra-powerful items. For example, Samurai Soul is in the soul shrine which means you can get as many Master Scrolls (Offering) as you like by repeating the Soul Shrine.

The Soul Shrine also includes a few new monsters called Glutturns. They appear asking for curative items like Elixirs and Hi Ethers and, if not fed, attack your party with some particularly devastating moves, including Ultima and Diabolic Whistle (the latter causing many status ailments), among others. The real goal here though is to steal. Glutturns have very useful rare steals including Soul of Thamasas (Gem Box), Celestriads (Economizer), Force Shields, and Master Scrolls (Offering). They are the only source in the game of unlimited Soul of Thamasas. Upon completing the challenge, you are given the Key Item Master's Crown. Like other Final Fantasy arena items (i.e. Final Fantasy X's Mark of Conquest), it has no in-game purpose. Beating Soul Shrine several times does not give more Master's Crowns.
