This article is about a Final Fantasy III location. For the Vagrant Story spell, see List of Vagrant Story Spells.

The Forbidden Land, Eureka (禁断の地エウレカ, Kindan no chi Eureka^?) is an optional dungeon in the game Final Fantasy III which contains some of the best equipment in the game. A gateway to it can be found at the bottom floor of the Crystal Tower, but the Eureka Key is required. Doga and Unei unlock the Eureka Key, and give it to the Warriors of Light, granting them access to Eureka, knowing they need better equipment to fight Xande.

Battle BackgroundEdit

MusicEdit

"Forbidden Land Eureka" from the DS & iOS versions of Final Fantasy III

Trouble with the audio sample?

Eureka has its own exclusive background theme, originally translated "Forbidden Land" in the Original Sound Version, but was retconned as "Forbidden Land Eureka" (禁断の地エウレカ, Kindan no Chi Eureka^?) in the Original Soundtrack. It is available as a battle background music for Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy as part of a downloadable content pack of three tracks from Final Fantasy III.

Other AppearancesEdit

Final Fantasy TacticsEdit

The Forbidden Land Eureka was mentioned as one of the wonders in Final Fantasy Tactics. It bears the following description:

This once prosperous capital of the Kashka Dynasty was destroyed in the Cataclysm, along with the vast legacy of its royal family. It is now a necrohol, populated by spirits drawn to the shades of its past glory.
