Owzer's Mansion

Owzer's Mansion is a location in Final Fantasy VI. Overlooking Jidoor from the northern end of the city, it is the largest home in town and houses Owzer's art collection.

Story
The mansion is first visited when the party returns from Zozo, seeking a way to travel to Vector on the southern continent. Meeting the Impresario here, the group learns of Setzer Gabbiani, owner of the Blackjack, the world's only airship.

At some unspecified point, Owzer purchased a beautiful stone at the Auction House, and was suddenly overcome with the need to a painting of Lakshmi. After seeing several artists who didn't have enough talent to fulfill his desire, Relm came by and Owzer put her to work. However, a demon possessed the painting while Relm was working, and apparently spread its influence over the rest of the gallery.

When the party returns to Owzer's Mansion in the World of Ruin, the destruction of a painting on the main floor reveals a staircase to the basement. In a rear room Relm is seeing to the painting of Lakshmi ith Owzer looking on, and the party is able to defeat the demon. It's hold on the gallery is broken and Relm departs with the party, promising Owzer to return and finish the painting later. Owzer, disturbed by the hold the stone held over him, asks the party to take it, and they receive Lakshmi's Magicite shard.

Art
On the main floor of the gallery, the paintings consist of a treasure chest, an urn, a suit of armor, a bouquet of flowers, a lamp, and a picture of a woman. The middle painting in the left row of paintings changes between the World of Balance and the World of Ruin - in the World of Balance it is a painting of Ultros, but in the World of Ruin it is a painting of Emperor Gestahl, mentioned by an NPC in Albrook to have been sold to Owzer when the Emperor commissioned a portrait but didn't like the result. The paintings of the flowers and the woman begin battles when inspected in the World of Ruin, the latter painting revealing a door to the basement of the gallery once defeated.

The basement contains a picture of a chair, which draws the party up into it and into an enemy encounter when they pass in front of it, and another painting of armor that initiates a battle with Still Life, revealing a door to the rear of the gallery with Relm and Owner after it is beaten. There is also a painting of the opera star Maria, which turns in different directions as the player progresses through the gallery.

Trivia

 * If the player does not inspect the painting of flowers and battle the Rafflesia that attack before defeating Chadarnook, they can never be encountered as they are a unique enemy formation and cannot be found anywhere else. It is encouraged the player encounter them though, as they provide a way to amass Genji Armor - see the Rafflesia page for further details.
