# Room 93: Bottom of East Tower

This is the bottom of the east tower within Beast Fountain Castle. The room features a spiral stone staircase leading upward and serves as a chase sequence location where Lolotte's henchman may pursue the player. The room connects to room 92 (outside) and room 88 (top of tower). The player can fall on the steep stairs, and a henchman may appear and chase them if certain conditions are met.
