Tomb of the Unknown King 6

Tomb of the Unknown King.

Located north of Deling City; the burial place of Dollet's last emperor. The tomb remains nameless due to an ancient belief that calling a dead king by his name brings bad luck. There are unconfirmed reports that a GF resides inside, as well as other monsters.

FFVIII Info Corner

The Tomb of the Unknown King (名もなき王の墓, Namonaki Ou no Haka?) is a location near Deling City in Final Fantasy VIII. A labyrinthine tomb overrun with water and plant growth, the Tomb of the Unknown King is home to the Guardian Force Brothers and the weapon of a G-Garden student inscribed with an identification number crucial to plot advancement. The weapon is located at the maze's entrance, thus further exploration of the tomb and recruiting Brothers is optional.

The name of the Tomb of the Unknown King is derived from a superstition, in which it is believed bad luck falls upon those who call a dead king by his name. Therefore, the king was entombed to be forgotten in name, and later in memory.

When Squall and his party defeat the GF Brothers, they can go to the tomb's center where the king's spirit will be released, bestowing the player with the Minotaur card.

Quests

Completing the Tomb

Most of the areas are tunnels, making the tomb appear straight-forward, but if the player decides to backtrack, the viewpoint will change, potentially confusing the player. In conjunction with the tomb's confusing layout, the player will immediately drop a SeeD rank if s/he pressed the Template:PS Triangle symbol to automatically leave the tomb at any time while they are inside.

The easiest way to complete the tomb is to always turn right from every screen where it is possible, thus going round the tomb in a counter-clockwise manner, visiting all the areas in the correct order. It is useful to equip Siren's Move-Find ability to find all the hidden draw and save points.
