First Kalpa General Tips

A Healer Goes a Long Way

You'd have to pay exorbitant amounts of Macca to get healed in the Labyrinth. It always pays to keep a good healer in your roster at all times.

The Soul pictured above sends you back to the beginning of the Labyrinth if you decide to let them heal you.

Look at the Ceiling to Avoid Traps

The center room in B1 has traps that drop you to the lower floor, where you take damage. Look at the lights on the ceiling; if the light is out, that means there is a trap underneath.
