Midlight's Deep Tips and Tricks

Kill Enemies to Light Up Each Floor

Each floor starts in complete darkness which makes it very difficult to see what tiles to step on and where enemies are coming from. You need to kill enemies so that they drop their crystals, which would then light up the floor. Once all enemies are defeated, their crystals will completely light up a room.

It's important that you don't pick up the crystals the enemies drop as this will cause the floor to darken again. Additionally, certain abilities can temporarily light up the room, such as the Teleport movement ability from Time Mage.

Find the Hidden Exits to Proceed to the Next Floor

You need to find hidden exits in each floor to proceed to the next one. You'll receive a notification when you discover an exit, but you need to defeat all enemies on the floor to proceed.

Find Treasure Using Low Brave Units

You can only get the rare and powerful equipment in Midlight's Deep by uncovering them using the Treasure Hunter movement ability.

Units with low Bravery have a higher chance of getting the rarest treasure from tiles. Rapha is a good choice for this role due to her naturally low Bravery stat, though any unit that you have lowered their Bravery is good to have for your party.

How to Increase or Decrease Bravery

Best Party Setup for Midlight's Deep

Recommended Characters and Units

Best Characters to Use
Ramza Beoulve IconRamza
Beowulf Cadmus IconBeowulf
Cidolfus Orlandeau IconOrlandeau
Ninja IconNinja Black Mage IconBlack Mage Chemist IconChemist

Ramza can fill the role of either a frontline buffer with Mettle or as the dedicated Treasure Hunter with a low bravery setup. Beowulf is also good to have since he can debuff and neuter the last enemy, giving you free reign to move around the stage with your Treasure Hunter unit.

Beowulf also has access to Chicken, which reduces the target's Bravery by 50. When paired with Ramza who can use Steel to give +5 Bravery, you can easily modify a unit's Bravery levels on the fly which makes hunting for treasure in each floor easier!

Orlandeau's speed and sheer power with his Swordplay skills is almost required to easily clear the enemies in the dungeon, while Ninja and Black Mage are great backup attackers. A Ninja equipped with Catch is also useful to have for farming the Ninja enemies in the first nine floors.

Finally, having a Chemist equipped with a gun and Arts of War allows you to debuff enemies from range. Easy access to healing items such as X-Potion and Phoenix Down is also invaluable to have for many of the encounters in the dungeon.

Alternative Characters and Units

Best Characters to Use
Rapha Galthena IconRapha
Summoner IconSummoner White Mage IconWhite Mage

Rapha can fill the role of dedicated Treasure Hunter due to her naturally low Bravery and is good alternative if your Ramza is already filling a different role. Having a low Faith Summoner ready to field during END is also required if you want to safely learn the Zodiark summon.

Finally, a White Mage with secondary Time Magick is a good alternative to Chemist if you want a class that can speed up your party, while providing debuffs and healing at the same time.

Midlight's Deep Rewards

Zodiark Summon

A Summoner that successfully survives Elidibus' Zodiark spell can learn Zodiark which is the strongest summon in the game. This is potentially missable, and you only have one chance to learn the summon during the fight!

Zodiark (Darkening Cloud) Summon Effect

Byblos

Byblos is a special Reaver that will join your party if they survive the fight during Elidibus in END. This unit is missable, and you only have one chance to recruit him during the fight with Elidibus in END!

Byblos Stats, Abilities, and Equipment

Rare Equipment from Each Floor

Each floor in Midlight's Deep has hidden treasure that a unit with Treasure Hunter equipped can obtain. Lower Bravery Treasure Hunters have a higher chance of getting some of the strongest and rarest equipment in the game such as the Chaos Blade and Chirijiraden!

What is Midlight's Deep?

10-Floor Endgame Dungeon in Chapter 4

Midlight's Deep is a difficult endgame dungeon consisting of 10 floors that you can access in Chapter 4. You need to defeat all enemies in each floor and look for the hidden exit to proceed to the next floor.

You Can Get Rare and Powerful Equipment from Each Floor

Each floor in Midlight's Deep has treasure spots where you can get some of the most powerful equipment in the game, such as Excalibur, Chaos Blade, and Chirijiraden.

You can only get these items with a unit equipped with the Treasure Hunter ability. Low Bravery units are recommended to increase the chance of getting the rarest treasure!

Fight the Superboss Elidibus

The superboss Elidibus resides in the 10th floor of Midlight's Deep. This legendary Wizard transforms into the Lucavi Serpentarius during the fight can use the most powerful summoning spell Zodiark, which Summoners can learn they survive the spell!

You only have one chance to fight Elidibus, so make sure you have a Summoner ready who can survive the spell to learn it!
