- Temenos - Western Tower is a subsection of the Temenos zone in the Limbus region.
- It is reached via the Teleport-Holla crag entrance to Al'Taieu.
- Cosmo-Cleanse and White Card key items are required for entry.
- Monsters on the first six floors drop an average of two chests per floor; you can open them at any time.
- Over the six floors, on average there will be four Time (15 minutes), four Restore and four Items chests; there can be more or less.
- Luck plays a very important role in this Limbus area; depending on Time chest drops you can finish with 45 minutes left or run out of time halfway.
- Chest drops on these six floors seem to be affected by moon phase and Treasure Hunter.
- The seventh floor just has the final Items chest.
- The mobs can be "pet pulled" (e.g., Carbuncle).
- The gate to the next level opens with the first kill.
- Drops AF+1 materials for: BLU, BRD, BST, DRK, MNK, NIN, PUP, RDM, SAM, SCH, SMN, WAR, WHM.
- Typical Ancient Beastcoin yield: 45-66
- Reward for completion: Emerald Chip
