Phoenix Tower

The Phoenix Tower is a thirty floor tower found in Final Fantasy 5. Its location is in a large desert where the Hiryuu Mountain is diagonal to it.

(The tower is to the southwest, while the mountain is to the Northeast.)

The stairwells leading up to the next floor are hidden in the wall in the tower center. To uncover it, the player must simply press against the wall in a certain spot. Unfortunately, one of the two stairwells will be guarded by a random monster, which will appear as the stairwell opens.

Every 5 floors, there will be pots on the East and West sides of the screen. One of the Pots will contain an amount of GP equal to the floor number multiplied by 1000. (Ex: Floor 5 gives you 5000 GP, Floor 10 gives 10000 Gp, and so on.) To add a counter to this, a Magic Pot will be waiting in the other pot. It requires a bit of experimentation to discover which pot has the money.

Once the player party has reached the top floor, Lenna will have a flashback to when her mother became gravely ill, and the only cure for her disease was the tounge of a Hiryuu. The player can decide if the young Lenna will attempt to cut the Hiryuu's tounge off. Saying yes will cause King Tycoon to hit Lenna, while saying no will further explain about her mother's death and learning of self-sacrifice.

The Hiryuu, already very old, jumps from the tower and is reborn as the Level 5 Phoenix Summon.
