The Sunken Shrine

10 New Enemies 32 Chests

---

With the Mermaid’s help, you’re now in the Sunken Shrine. This is a large dungeon with 10 new bestiary entries and 32 chests.

Sunken Shrine

This dungeon is mostly aquatic enemies so Thunder magic shreds them. If you picked up the Exit spell from Crescent Lake, you can leave the dungeon after picking up the first key item from the upper floors, rest at the Inn and come back for the lower floors. Burn through Thunder spells.

Upper Floors

3F. Take the first right into a room with 2,000 Gil. Back outside, go right and follow the path north. Around the corner take the stairs up to 4F.

4F. Loot 5 chests across 5 rooms:

• 1,300 Gil: walk down, left past the room to the wall, down, first left, end of path
• Diamond Armor: continue north, take a left, follow the zigzag north
• Light Axe: back out, hug the western wall, path south, room on the left
• Mage’s Staff: leave, walk right, take the northern path of the split
• 12,350 Gil: back out, take the bottom of the fork

Take the stairs up to 5F.

5F. Loot 13 chests across 8 rooms:

• Room 1 (north of the stairs): 9,000 Gil, 1,760 Gil, Diamond Armlet
• Room 2 (long winding path: left, up, left to wall, up, right, up, left, first south): Diamond Helm, Diamond Gloves, Rosetta Stone
• Room 3 (back the way you came, right room of the two-room area): 2,750 Gil
• Room 4 (right, down, right into the first room): 4,150 Gil
• Room 5 (one room further right): 5,000 Gil
• Room 6 (left, north between the two looted rooms): 10,000 Gil, 1,150 Gil
• Room 7 (walk all the way south, left): Antidote
• Room 8 (follow the path around, right): Diamond Shield

That’s all the chests on the upper floors. You can either teleport out using the Exit spell to rest up before re-entering, or walk back to the entrance if you don’t have it. The video walkthrough at the 3 minute mark shows the way back to 3F.

Lower Floors

3F. After re-entering, take the first left and follow the path north until you find a room with 9,900 Gil. Back outside, walk north around it, hugging the wall until you reach the top left corner of the map where you’ll see stairs down to 2F.

2F → 3F → 4F. Make your way to the northeast corner of the floor and take the stairs up. Continue until you reach 4F, go to the bottom right of the floor (ignoring the room) and take the stairs down to 3F.

3F. Enter the room and pick up the two chests containing 1,110 Gil and 1,450 Gil. Continue south, exiting the room and walking down the stairs to 2F.

2F. Loot 10 chests across 4 rooms. That’s all 32 chests for this dungeon.

• Right room (first southern path): 7,690 Gil (guarded), 8,135 Gil
• Bottom-left corner: 5,450 Gil, 1,385 Gil (guarded), Giant’s Gloves (guarded)
• Top-right: 7,340 Gil, Ribbon, 9,900 Gil (guarded), 2,750 Gil
• Far left: Light Axe

Exit the room, take a right and go north along the path. Take the stairs down to 1F.

1F. Walk north, through both doors and go down. At the fork, take the left path south until you reach a door. Go through it. Walk north and take a left until you see a door. Follow the path around until you reach the final room where Kraken, the Fiend of Water, resides. Heal up before the fight.

How to Beat Kraken

After defeating Kraken the Water Crystal is restored, unlocking the third of four Fiend story trophies. Use the portal that appears to warp out of the Sunken Shrine. Our next stop is Lufenia.
