Challenge Dungeon (The After Years)

Challenge Dungeons are bonus dungeons in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. Every character with their own tale has one. They become available to explore by taking to Challengingway, after the tale has been cleared.

Kain's Challenge Dungeon
The Ancient Castle is occupied by strong enemies, and has an underground cave. The Curse Dragon is the boss encountered at the end of the dungeon.

Rydia's Challenge Dungeon
Rydia's Challenge Dungeon is a cave with many Trap Doors and Demon Walls. The last section of the dungeon is a room with ropes leading to treasure and the last room, where the Boss Gobby awaits.

Yang's Challenge Dungeon
Yang's consists of narrow, long chambers full of enemies, with a treasure chest at the end of each of them which have monsters. The enemies get stronger with each new corridor.

Palom's Challenge Dungeon
Palom's dungeon has different floors, which the player will be transported to randomly after each one. Examples include the Strength Floor or the Perplexion Floor, which has a puzzle. They cannot go to all of them in one visit. The boss at the end is the Blade Dragon, who can change its weakness.

Edge's Challenge Dungeon
Edge's Challenge Dungeon has a time limit and several chests on each floor. He will be ranked for the time it takes for him to reach the last chest. The sooner he reaches it, the better the item.

Porom's Challenge Dungeon
Porom's has many people who she must assist as a White Mage. This includes healing the sick, giving items and saving people who are threatened by monsters. There is a time limit as well. Porom will receive a better item at the end of the dungeon based on the number of people she helps.

Edward's Challenge Dungeon
Edward's Challenge Dungeon requires him to find items for other people in exchange for Gil, and he must also lend it other people and do other favours for them. If he saves as much money as possible at the end of the dungeon, he will be able to open the chests in the last room, which require lots of Gil to unlock.

Lunarian's Challenge Dungeon
There are two Challenge Dungeons. The first is a simple one. If Golbez and Fusoya randomly obtain the Challenger's Proof from the boss, Kirin, they will gain access to the second Challenge Dungeon. The second one is located at the Stone Face on the Red Moon, which was originally the location of the Lunar Ruins in Final Fantasy IV Advance. The boss there is Armstrong, whose physical attack power rises whenever it is hit with magic.
