Ancient Aroma

Uh… how do you get this item?

<font face="arial narrow" color="75777C" size="-1">Hopefully you’re referring to when you’re on disc three, inside Ipsen’s Castle. Otherwise, I have no idea how you’d go about obtaining this item.

Eh… spoilers coming up, I believe. Watch it now! :eye:

After your battle with Taharka, go back out the same way you came in, and climb the pole back up to the courtyard.There is a trap door that is barely visible just below the chest at the top of the courtyard.

Drop drop this trap door, and Zidane will land on the outside-down candelier in the dark room below. Hop down and climb the pole back up to the courtyard.

Another trap door is under the balcony on the top-left side. This one drops you onto the upper level of the lower room. You might want to avoid this trap door as there is no reward for triggering it.

Return to the entrance and take note of the staircase that appeared on the left side going up to the balcony as well. A new entrance is in-between the staircase and the first arch you entered on the right. This leads to the courtyard in the balcony area, and during your trip, look for some chests on the chandelier high above. Continue across the balcony to the upper archway, and descend the steps inside into a whole new area.

Ride the elevator in the center of the room to find yourself in a room with Odin’s electrified sword chained to the back wall. There are also two flower vases and three shelves on which to arrange them. Rearrange the vases, moving them from shelf to shelf in a counter clockwise direction. The electrical energies will fill the vases, and then you’ll receive the <B>Ancient Aroma</B>.
