Defeated enemies leave behind a countdown timer. When it reaches 0, they will turn into a crystal which will create a light source that helps light up the darkness. Once all enemies turn to crystal, the floor will be completely lit up!

Note: Obtaining the Crystal will only restore HP/MP, but will cause the room the darken. Avoid grabbing the crystals to keep the floor lit.

NOISSIM Walkthrough

Step-by-Step Guide




Use Abilities that Ignore Elevation

NOISSIM has elevation differences that limit unit movement and make targeting units a bit difficult. Use units whose abilities can ignore elevation, such as Orlandeau's Swordplay abilities or Agrias' Holy Sword so you can hit enemies easily!

Equip Ignore Elevation

Abilitity Job and JP Cost Effect
Ignore ElevationIgnore Elevation Dragoon IconDragoon
700 JP
Allows the unit to move to tiles of any height, regardless of its jump attribute.

Equipping the Ignore Elevation movement ability can trivialize the elevation in NOISSIM. This movement ability is learned from Dragoons for 700 JP, and should be equipped on your frontline fighters to easily navigate the floor!

Leave One Enemy Behind to Explore the Floor

It's best to leave at least one enemy alive so you can freely explore the floor to look for the hidden treasures. Beowulf is a great debuffer as his Templar abilities can inflict status such as Sleep, Stop, and Disable to neuter the last enemy.

Find Treasure Using Low Bravery Units

A unit with low Bravery has a higher chance to receive the rare drop from treasure tiles with Treasure Hunter equipped. Rapha is one of the better units for this job as she has naturally low Bravery, though any unit that you've reduced their Bravery can fill this role!

How to Increase or Decrease Bravery

Don't Grab Crystals from Fallen Enemies

Make sure to leave behind the Crystals that enemies drop as they will light up the room. When all enemies turn into crystals, the room will be completely lit up and make navigating the floor easier.

These crystals only fully restore HP and MP, so they're not worth grabbing especially if you have a dedicated healer.

Find the Hidden Exit Before Defeating All Enemies

You need to look for a hidden exit somewhere on the floor before your defeat all enemies so that you can advance to the next floor.

If you defeat all enemies without finding the exit, you'll return back to the world map and will have to clear the floor again!

Best Characters and Units

Best Characters to Use
Ramza Beoulve IconRamza
Beowulf Cadmus IconBeowulf
Cidolfus Orlandeau IconOrlandeau
Rapha Galthena IconRapha
Black Mage IconBlack Mage Chemist IconChemist

Ramza in his Gallant Knight job can fill the role of both frontline attacker with Mettle, providing buffs such as Tailwind and Shout. Beowulf is good to have since he can debuff and neuter the last enemy, allowing you to freely explore the floor with your Treasure Hunter unit.

Orlandeau's high speed and powerful Swordplay abilities can deal heavy damage with Divine Ruination or destroy gear with Crush Weapon. He'll be your main offensive unit to take out distant units or particularly tanky enemies.

Rapha's naturally low Bravery makes her the best choice for dedicated Treasure Hunter, while a Black Mage with Arithmeticks can deal heavy damage to all units when set up correctly. Finally, bring a Chemist equipped with a gun and Arts of War so you can debuff or break weapons from range!

Best Characters to Use
Dancer IconDancer Bard IconBard White Mage IconWhite Mage

Both Dancers and Bards can inflict debuffs and buffs with their Dance and Bardsong abilities respectively. Alternatively, you can swap out the Chemist with a White Mage if your team needs more powerful healing.

These tiles have a chance to reward either normal or rare drops, or activate a trap. To increase your chances of getting the rare drops, your dedicated Treasure Hunter unit should have low Bravery.

Rapha is one of the best Treasure Hunters in the game due to her naturally low Bravery, but any unit that you've lowered their Bravery can function as your Treasure Hunter unit to get the rare weapons Glacial Gun, Blaze Gun, and Kiyomori!

No Special Recruitable Characters

There are no special recruitable characters in NOISSIM. However, you can recruit both human units and monsters from the floor if you have a unit with the Entice or Tame abilities respectively.

Reis is one of the best monster recruiters in the game since she naturally has both Tame and Beast Tongue in her base Dragonkin job.
