This towering spire was built by the fal'Cie in ages past. While the purpose of the structure is unclear, its original height suggests that the mighty beings sought to pierce even the heavens in their insatiable quest for expansion.
No matter the reason for its construction, the tower now lies in ruin, its great spine snapped, and its crumbling interior serving as a lair for the fal'Cie Dahaka.
Story
Edit
Taejin's Tower is an ancient structure built by the fal'Cie for purposes unknown before serving as home to the fal'Cie Dahaka. What once towered the Pulse sky is now broken and crumbling, however most of its machinations are still functioning, including the living statues called Menhirrim imprisoned by Dahaka.
The party ventures through the tower on their way to Oerba and must take on a series of missions from the resident statues, whose powers are held in check by the monsters inhabiting the tower. Completing these missions allows the statues to spin the tower's segments into alignment, opening the path upward.
As they approach the top, the fal'Cie Dahaka approaches the party, but is beaten back by the now-freed statues. At the tower's apex, the wounded fal'Cie attacks directly beginning the area's major boss fight.
Later, Bhakti's bonus tip #10 explains the player can climb to the top of the tower and ride the elevator back down all seven flights, which allows the player to find a hidden 7th tier and help to engage against an Undying Cie'th.

Music

| Trouble with the audio sample? | |
The first background theme heard at Taejin's Tower is "The Vestige," the background theme heard at the Pulse Vestige. It is calm and mysterious, which suits the sight of the tower's palisades. Inside, Taejin's Tower's eponymous theme starts playing, and features a strange tune, reminiscent of electronics, mirroring the tower's mysterious structure and machinery. On the "Taejin's Tower" theme, Mina, who performs the vocals for many background themes in the game, performed a traditional Ainu instrument called the mukkuri.[1]
