Castle Hein

Castle Hein (ハインの城 Hain no Shiro), also known as Hein's Castle or Castle of Hyne, is a location in Final Fantasy III. It is actually the Elder Tree from the Living Woods, which Hein has enchanted and transformed it into his stronghold. The party must be in Mini status in order to proceed past the first area.

There is a pot that serves as a Wellspring in the last room of the first area.

Story
The evil wizard Hein, royal adviser to King Argus, has converted the Elder Tree of the Living Woods into a floating fortress. He enslaved the residents of Castle Argus, including the king himself, and brainwashed some of his knights, summoning demons to fight for him as well.

After visiting the Fire Crystal, the Light Warriors visit Tokkul, after a villager asked them for help with his last breath. There, they are ambushed by Hein's troops and taken to his castle. There they meet King Argus, and are able to escape the dungeons. At the castle, they search for Hein, eventually tracking him and fighting him. After he is defeated, the Elder Tree regains consciousness and flies back to its original home, allowing the people of Argus to return to their castle.
