Duncan's Cabin is a location in Final Fantasy VI. It is a small house located near South Figaro in the World of Balance, and is the dojo of the martial arts master Duncan Harcourt.
Story[]
The party learn of Master Duncan's murder.
The party can visit the cabin on their way to Mt. Kolts, and Edgar recognizes some of the furnishing of the cabin as evidence that Sabin lives here. Upon leaving, a man warns them that Duncan has been killed by his son and pupil Vargas, and both Vargas and Sabin are now missing. The party can sleep in the cabin freely if they need to rest. The cabin is not vital to the storyline, and the player can choose to skip it entirely if they wish.
The party determined to defeat Kefka after Sabin completed his training.
In the World of Ruin, the cabin still exists, but its location is not immediately obvious. It is located north-east of Narshe, at a place where five trees on the world map form a "+" shape. Duncan, who is actually alive, has returned to the cabin and continues to train.
When Sabin arrived to the cabin, he is shocked at the sight of Duncan being alive, causing him to cry tears of joy. Duncan then offered to train Sabin once more in order to teach him the ultimate Blitz technique. After the two spar throughout the cabin area, Sabin learned his final Blitz, the Phantom Rush. Before Sabin's departure, Duncan encouraged his student to use all the techniques he learned from his training to defeat Kefka.

Upon entering, Edgar will smell something, and inspecting the stove, the flowers on the counter and the cabinet will prompt small dialogue boxes.

All this time, he's been under the wing of such a great teacher..."
