Final Fantasy 2 Pixel Remaster 100% Walkthrough - Kashuan Keep
Now that we have completed the Snow Cavern and obtained the Goddess’s Bell, we need to head back to Poft and speak with Cid’s assistant to ask him for the airship to take us to our next objective, which it Kashuan Keep.
I highly recommend stopping by the Poft Magic Shop before departing to buy a Shell Tome and teach it to your healer, it is going to be very useful against the next upcoming boss that mainly deals magic damage.
Kashuan Keep
1F
When you first enter Kashuan Keep, go directly north and use the Key Item > Goddess’s Bell to open the door at the top, this will take you to a different part of 1F where you will encounter Gordon, he is also looking for Egil’s Torch so he decides to join your party.
Gordon specializes in Spears so be sure to equip him with the Mythril Spear if you picked it up earlier.
Once Gordon has joined, go to the right and exit back out onto the main part of 1F. Here we can find 1 chest at the bottom right part of the floor.
The chest contains a Cure Tome, once you have opened the chest head all the way around to the stairs on the left side to go up to 2F (the door at the top left leads to an empty room filled with enemies).
2F
On floor 2F there is also just the one chest, you will see it on the top right.
From the floor entrance go down and the to the right and walk all the way around until you reach the chest, then continue to the left as far as you can go, when you reach the end go down and then to the right to find the stairs to 3F.
3F
As you can see in the image, again 3F only has 1 chest at the bottom left that contains a Golden Shield. Be careful as when you open this chest you will get ambushed by enemies!
Once you have opened this chest you can advance up the stairs in the top right to reach 4F.
4F
This floor has 3 chests but they are all in a side room that you can reach by taking the second path from the entrance that leads downwards and go through the door that connects to the side room as you can see on the map below.
In these 3 chests you will find a Mythril Axe, a Mythril Sword and a Werebuster Staff.
After openning the chests leave the side room and go up the stairs in the center left part of the floor to reach 5F.
5F
In 5F there are a total of 4 chests, first let’s grab the 3 that are in another side room. To reach them you need to go through the door in the top right of the floor. These chests contain a Mallet, an Antidote and Eye Drops.
Once you have opened all three of them, exit the side room and go to the center of 5F to find the 4th chest, this one will contain the Golden Armor, but be careful it is another ambush!
After defeating the enemies from the chest you can head for the stairs at the bottom left to reach a small room that leads to the Boss of this dungeon.
Red Soul Boss Fight
The Red Soul Boss will be guarding the final chest of this dungeon, if you followed the earlier part of this guide and bought a Shell Tome from the Magic Shop in Poft, make sure to teach it to anyone in your party before the fight, as this boss deals high magic damage and without casting Shell on your party to protect you it could be fatal.
Other than that make sure NOT to use any offensive spells as he absorbs pretty much every magic type and you will heal him instead of dealing damage, so stick to physical attacks.
Egil’s Torch & Sunfire
After defeating the boss, open the chest that it was guarding to get Egil’s Torch (you should now have all 11 chests for this dungeon).
Once you have the torch, use Teleport to go back to the entrance of Kashuan Keep, if you don’t have anyone who can use Teleport just walk back down to 1F.
Then interact with the flame near the entrance and use Key Items > Egil’s Torch to obtain the Sunfire.
Now that we have the Sunfire it is time to leave Kashuan Keep. As soon as we exit we will see a cutscene where the Dreadnought captures Cid’s Airship.
