Wikia

Mount Gulg (グルグ火山, Gurugu Kazan^?), also known as Mount Gulug and Gurgu Volcano, is a location from the original Final Fantasy. It is located near Crescent Lake, and is accessible only by canoe.

The volcano's interior is mostly lava, a type of damage floor that hurts party members as they walk on it. Several of the sublevels' staircases are difficult to find, requiring treks through huge lava-filled expanses. Other levels involve navigation through maze-like rooms with multiple dead ends and treasure chests. Most of the enemies in Mount Gulg are Fire-based, so the party's Black Mage or Red Mage should make use of Blizzard and Blizzara spells.

StoryEdit

After meeting Lukahn at Crescent Lake, the Warriors of Light head to Mount Gulg to destroy the Fire Fiend Marilith. After defeating her at the Crystal Room, they restore the Fire Crystal.

Trouble with the audio sample?

Mount Gulg's theme is named after itself. The song was remixed and included in Final Fantasy IX as its theme for Mount Gulug, and as well in Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.

Other AppearancesEdit

Final Fantasy TacticsEdit

Mount Gulg is mentioned in the errand "Molten Maiden":

Mount Gulg has not erupted for nigh on 5000 years, yet dangers enough remain that few dare venture near. But we did, and it was at the bottom of that deep, dark shaft we saw her: a lady of flame! Locals tell of a young girl who stumbled over the volcano's rim, thought the truth of it we could not say. Nonetheless, we erected a small shrine and offered prayers for the Mount Gulg Maiden.

Dissidia 012 Final FantasyEdit

The iconic Mount Gulg can be found in Dissidia 012's story mode overworld, at the Ancient Volcano Ring - Gulg region. It appears as a giant peak with an icy summit surrounded by a frozen lake and forests, mirroring its appearance in the original Final Fantasy. The Gulg Gateway lies here and is the site of a boss battle in all its appearances. Particularly, the Gateway is the site of the final battle of Chapter 1 of Light to All when Cloud confronts Sephiroth, alluding to the Northern Cave of Final Fantasy VII.
