Murkrifts are home to strange, rare, and usually very dangerous Mirages. If you want to explore one, make sure that you're fully prepared before diving in! Most murkrifts will be too tough for you to handle when you first find them. If you do end up getting whomped, come back later after you've gotten a bit stronger.
Murkrifts are pocket dimensions that host rare, powerful Mirages in World of Final Fantasy. They are found throughout Grymoire and pose a challenge to Lann and Reynn. Murkrifts generally contain Mirages that are normally found in later dungeons, while a few contain stronger versions of Mirages from earlier dungeons. The Mirages within often have higher ailment resistances than when encountered normally. Once all the Mirages inside a Murkrift are defeated, the Murkfrift disappears from the field.
In Nine Wood Hills, Serafie may occasionally have a Murkrift atop of her ahead and can be entered upon examination. Once the player has access to the airship, the player can find six Murkrifts (seven in the Maxima version) scattered on the world map.
The Maxima version adds new Murkrifts containing exclusive Mirages. When defeated or imprismed, these Mirages can be fought again at The Coliseum.
Story[]
In Chapter 1, "Land of the Lilikin", Lann and Reynn enter a Murkrift in Wellspring Woods despite a warning from Tama. They are defeated by the powerful Mirage within and sent back to Nine Wood Hills. There, Enna Kros reveals Tama has sacrificed a life to rewind time and save the twins from death. Tama requests Lann and Reynn let her rest before they enter any other Murkrifts.
