Map of the Ancient Waterway (PSP).
Foul things lurk in forgotten places.
The Ancient Waterway (むかしのすいろ, Mukashi no Suiro?, lit. Waterway of old times), also known as the Old Waterway and Baron Waterway, is a location in the games Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. It is the sewers of Baron, and connects the city to Baron Castle. The entrance is located at the western edge of the city of Baron, and is locked with the Key of Baron.
It contains many hidden passages that the party must discover to navigate their way. There is a Save point near the end of the Waterway.
