Ancient Waterway



The Ancient Waterway, also known as the Old Waterway and Baron Waterway, is a location in the games Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. It is actually the sewers of Baron, and connects the city to the castle. The entrance is located at the western edge of the city of Baron, and is locked with the Key of Baron.

Final Fantasy IV
After becoming a Paladin, Cecil, along with Tellah, Yang, Palom and Porom, use the waterway to sneak into the castle and rescue Cid. It contains many hidden passages that the party must discover to navigate their way to Baron Castle.

There is a Save Point near the end of the Waterway.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
To get inside Baron's castle following the attack upon it by a horde of monsters, Ceodore and the Hooded Man, the latter of which seemed to have knowledge of Baron's structure, traversed this passage. Ceodore obtained the key to the secret passage from Cid's daughter, who lives with Cid near the waterway's entrance.
