Yup, what he said. Really, it's not necessary to go anywhere near that place until you have the first 3 fangs. One of the more irritating things about FF3 is the lack of inventory space, and this is one of the spots where it comes into focus. The fangs take up precious space, and don't go away until you use them up on the proper statues. What I have found works best (based on walkthroughs) is to wait until you have 3 fangs, then go up there and walk through the first 3 sets of statues ONLY. Those fangs will get used and now you have 3 free spots for inventory. But trust me, you'll fill them up fast, lol.
