Citadel of Trials
From Final Fantasy Wiki
The Citadel of Trials, also known as Castle of Ordeals, is a location from the original Final Fantasy. It is comprised of many small rooms that contain two or more teleport tiles. Only one teleporter in each room will bring the player to the next room, while the others will return the player to the first room. The process of trial and error means several attempts will have to be made in order to reach the final room and retrieve the Rat's Tail, but the relatively easy enemies here should not make the process difficult.
[edit] Story
The Warriors of Light are sent here by Bahamut to test their courage. Using the crown from the Marsh Cave, they gain access to the castle, and find a Rat's Tail inside. By presenting this to Bahamut, the Light Warriors earn the class change to their greater job classes.
