Castle Argus

Castle Argus, also known as Argass Castle, is a location in Final Fantasy III found across the sea from Vikings' Cove and Nepto Temple. The party can enter it after completing plot events in those locations, but it will be empty until freeing the residents from Castle Hein. Equipment for Scholars can be found in treasure chests here. For saving him from Hein's evil clutches, King Argus gives the party the Wheel of Time, which Cid can use to make the Enterprise into an airship.

Story
As the Light Warriors arise, the Sorcerer Hein, adviser to King Argus, captures the King, enslaves and brainwashes his army, and uproots the Elder Tree from the Living Woods, transforming it into his castle and enchanting it, so that it may float above the desert around Tokkul.

When the Warriors of Light defeat Hein at his fortress, the people of Argus return to their home, and at the castle, King Argus rewards the Warriors of Light with the Wheel of Time, allowing them to modify the Enterprise into an Airship.

Enemies
Note: Enemies are only encountered outside of the castle.
 * Gorgon
 * Knocker
 * Lizardman
 * Flyer

Music
The background music that plays at Castle Argus is "Djinn's Curse", but it is changed to "Return of the Warrior" after Hein is defeated.

Trivia

 * In the Dawn of Souls and 20th Anniversary remakes of the original Final Fantasy, Argus is referenced as one of the automatic names the player can choose for the Warrior job.
