[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
A labyrinthine, ruined tomb overrun with water and plant growth, the Tomb of the Unknown King is home to the GF Brothers and to the weapon of a SeeD candidate printed with an identification number needed for plot advancement. The weapon is at the entrance to the maze, thus going any further and getting Brothers is optional.
The Tomb of the Unknown King was named as so because of a superstition. It is said that bad luck falls to those who calls a dead king by his name. This superstition causes the king entombed to be forgotten in name, and later in memory.
When Squall and his party manages to defeat the GF Brothers, they can go to the center of the tomb. There, the king's spirit will be released, but not before lamenting why the dead had to be entombed when their spirit wants to go to heaven.
