Party Size You can deploy up to 5 units.

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.

Equip Movement +2

Abilitity Job and JP Cost Effect
Movement +2Movement +2 Thief IconThief
560 JP		 Increases movement by 2, allowing the unit to move a greater distance.
Movement +3Movement +3 Bard IconBard
1000 JP		 Increases movement by 3, allowing the unit to move a greater distance.

Yrotciv does not have that much elevation differences compared to earlier levels so equipping Movement +2 is more useful for navigating this floor. Male units can also equip Movement +3 learned from Bard to make traversing the floor easier.

Expect a Long Battle

Many of the possible enemies in YROTCIV can restore health and apply defensive buffs to their allies. That being the case, try including a Chemist on your team or at least someone with the Items Job Command and stock up on items like Potions and Ethers.

The Monk ability Chakra can also be extremely helpful here to make sure you have enough HP and MP throughout the fight.

Get the Excalibur

As soon as the battle starts, you can try to get the Excalibur at C4. This is one of the most powerful Knight's Swords in the game so be sure to pick it up.

Equipping Excalibur will grant the wielder Haste, increased Holy damage, and absorbs Holy damage received.

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 equipment Iga Blade and Excalibur!

YROTCIV Recruitable Characters

No Special Recruitable Characters

There are no special recruitable characters in YROTCIV. 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.
