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 Jump +2

Abilitity Job and JP Cost Effect
Jump +2Jump +2 Thief IconThief
560 JP		 Increases jump attribute by 2, allowing the unit to traverse greater elevation differences.
Jump +3Jump +3 Dancer IconDancer
1000 JP		 Increases jump attribute by 3, allowing the unit to traverse greater elevation differences.

Horror has some steep cliffs so equipping Movement Abilities like Jump +2 will help you navigate the floor. Female units can also equip Movement +3 learned from Dancer to make traversing the floor easier.

Use Abilities That Ignore Height

Parts of the map in HORROR have varying heights, so use abilities that can bypass the difference in elevation. Some of Agrias's Holy Sword abilities and Orlandeau's Swordplay abilities are extremely effective in this regard.

Defeat Enemies to Clear a Path

There are plenty of narrow areas in this level, so you will need to get rid of enemies to open up the field. Doing this will give you an easier time exploring the map to search for treasures and exits.

Obtain the Venetian Shield

The Venetian Shield is a fine piece of armor that halves Fire, Lightning, and Ice damage when equipped. Be sure to pick it up along with the Maximillian and Grand Helm that can also be found here.

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 Maximilian, Venetian Shield, and Grand Helm!

HORROR Recruitable Characters

No Special Recruitable Characters

There are no special recruitable characters in HORROR. 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.
