Phoenix Tower
This is an optional summon but is one of the most powerful. Phoenix can revive one ally to full HP/MP and perform a powerful AOE fire magic.
You need to clear the Phoenix Tower to obtain this summon.
The tower has 30 floors, each floor is a circle with either one or two exits. The two exits lead to the same next floor; the difference is that one exit is guarded by a monster and the other is not.
The monsters guarding the floor exits are random and do not count toward the bestiary.
It is better to avoid them completely. List of monsters guarding the exit doors:
- Bandercoeurl
- Liquid Flame
- Kuza Beast
- Soul Cannon
Note: you can't escape from any battles inside the tower.
Every 5 floors, you'll find 2 pots; one of them has a Magic Pot monster. It doesn't attack you, and you can't really kill it. The only thing it asks for is an Elixir, and once you give the Elixir to the Magic Pot, it'll flee the battle, giving you a whopping 100 ABP. However, there is a chance it doesn't flee and keeps asking for more Elixir, so it is advised that you make a Quicksave before interacting with the pot. Reload the game if it doesn't flee when given the first Elixir.
You should take advantage of this to master your preferred jobs.
Note: ABP is carried over to the next level. For example, you can unlock Black Mage Lv.1 and Lv.2 in one battle with the Magic Pot.
Blue Magic (29/30): Roulette
From Parthenope
Easy to get on the 1F as soon as you enter the tower. Set Learn ability on everyone and wait for it.
Pro tip: I highly recommend you have 2 Bards in your party. At the beginning of every encounter, you should immediately sing Romeo's Ballad to freeze the enemies.
These enemies are nasty. They mostly use various debuff spells, and they hit hard. Parthenope often uses Roulette, which instantly kills one of your party members.
Bestiary Checklist:

On 29F, you'll have to fight a random encounter from the monster pool above.
On 30F, a cutscene occurs, and you'll have to choose "Yes" or "No". Whatever your choice is, it doesn't have any consequences.
Use Teleport to leave the tower.
