I am playing thru FFVI again on my snes and have run into a snag. this is the first time that I've done the tower with mog and the moogle charm, cause i hate this place. i get all the way to the top, take the gem box, and exit... only to be surrounded by the kult members. no big deal right? well my problem lies in the fact that I've sat for 20 minutes and the mage master never comes?! anyone else ever run into this and/or how do i get this chump to show up for his beating?

Its been years since I've played so forgive me if the information's inaccurate but I think they leave you several spaces down to the south to walk and you may've had to try to take a step or two further out to actually trigger the event of his arrival. I think the purpose is to pace things so there's a sort of tense build-up.

Just to reiterate though, I'm not quuuuite sure but hey, it couldn't hurt much to try since you're not going through the trouble of fighting all of those tedious random battles. Could it? Hopefully this advice helps; sorry if it didn't.

P.S. He's either very, very brave or a big chicken pendent on how you view his behavior and battle tactics. I'm somewhat more inclined to believe the former than the latter myself but I suppose that's another story. . .

Role reversal at its finest.

i dont know if you would call 5 spaces several. cause i think thats all you get once you come out the door... and then the loonies show up, blocking the path. then i wait... for nothing to happen.. maybe i'll just finish up some other loose ends and come back another day. lol thanks for the reply tho

I've never heard of this actually. I wonder if the game just glitched or something. Try fighting him after saving and reseting.

Could just be a problem with your save file as well. I had a similar problem with Kefka in the Battle for The Esper. I would kill him but then I'd be back to where the Soldier on the mount runs back and forth and then I'd have to re-fight him and then Kefka once more.

Things went back to normal after that.

Kefka's Message of the week: Get off your couch noobs and get my new game Dissidia 012

finished up all the rest of the loose ends and went back, this time he came and fought me, only to be destroyed in a matter of minutes. .. thanks for the replies everyone!!

Have you tried to go back into the top room, AND go down? I thought you had to try and go back in the room you get the gem box in.

You're telling me that there's no hope.

I'm telling you you're wrong.

This is a bug that is known to occur when you do not change your party after collecting Umaro. The game will block the exit with Cult of Kefka members, but the MagiMaster does not show. There's no way out of there except for a reset...
