A: A Providence is an item that lets you exit the cave without having to progress right down to the final floor. Q: That sounds like a handy item... where can I find them? A: Where you find everything else - in pots, sacks, chests (i.e. any container that can be found in the cave). Like everything else, whether you find it or something else in a chest is completely random. Q: How do I use a Providence? A: When you have one in your inventory, hit select when you are on a cave floor and select yes. Q: Can I take Providence's out of the cave with me? A: No. Skills ¯¯¯¯¯¯ Q: Why is Mirror so great? A: It blocks direct damage from ALL enemy skills which all monsters in the ancient cave and the game use to attack. Characters ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Q: Can anyone other than the main character enter the Ancient Cave? A: Unfortunately no. _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 05. General Notes GENN _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ General ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Providences can be randomly found on any floor, in any container. - Items I've listed as "Crap" aren't actually useless... you can use them to heal your undead DMs. - There is nothing under the grass in the cave. - Bosses CANNOT be caught (or the monsters with them) - Bosses may have up to two regular monsters with them. - Any container can be a trap, which deals a random amount of damage, based on the floor you are on (higher floor numbers have higher maximum damage traps) - Any container can also contain up to three monsters within, with most possible monsters listed in "Monsters Found" on each floor. - Some of the monsters listed on each floor may only appear with the BOSS, which means you cannot catch them. - Any monsters you catch in the cave will NOT show up in your compendium. - All equipment found will show up in the compendiums. Shrines ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Shrines can be randomly found on all floors. - Shrines may be thieves, the higher the floor number, the more G they tend to steal. - The Blue Flame, Tablet, Well and Temple are never thieves. - Red orbs completely restore HP and can be used by any class. - Blue orbs completely restore AP and can be used by any class. About Recommended levels ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - These are just a guide as to what level you should be (with a class with decent HP and DFP) ... for weaker classes, such as mage, add about 5 levels (after floor 6 or so) to what I've written down to be on the safe side! - Getting kickass equipment (like the zircon stuff) will definitely reduce the level you need to be somewhat on the levels before I've recommended it. - Likewise, living with the equipment you find in the cave might increase the number of levels you have to get to be able to beat a floor (applies only to the lower 40 levels :P). _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 06. Tips TPS. _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Skills and Classes: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ I highly recommend you get the following skills as soon as possible: - Chance Hit (For doing decent damage to the bosses) (Fighter Class) - Absorb (For getting more AP to use Chance Hit again :p) (Wizard Class) - Miracle Hit (Above normal damage, heals 50hp) (Knight Class) (Later in the cave) - Rapidfire (Nice for taking out a bunch of monsters easily) (Rogue Class) - Mirror (VERY nice for defeating difficult bosses - the final boss is a complete joke if you have this move) (Wizard Class) - Fury (for doing decent damage when you get better weapons) (Brawler Class) Strategy Tips: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Use mirror. Period. Mirror Strategy: Mirror gives you immunity from enemy spell attacks for three of your turns after using it. Just use it first then pound away using Fury/Chance Hit, and use Absorb to get back AP when you need it (during the rounds you are immune) Use it every third turn if you attack after the monster/s or every fourth turn if you attack before them. If you get hurt because you forget to use it, or they have the first attack just heal when you are immune and remember to activate it when it runs out (see the sentence above for when). The only downside to this strategy is Mirror does not block status afflictions. Other useful strategies include: - Using Vampire to drain AP. (with a Rune Ring or by teaching it to your DM) - Using Miracle Hit to stay healed while doing damage. Disc Monsters (DM's): ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Get a good DM (Disc Monster) as soon as possible (I use a Gold Core myself) - Even a crappy DM helps, if it only takes one hit, that's one less hit you take! - Sacrifice is a useful skill to teach your DM - it does 999 damage when it lands, at the cost of your DM dying. - Vampire is also a useful skill for them to learn, as it can drain quite a bit of AP. - Octostrike is also a very savvy skill to teach your DM, it does a LOT of damage to all enemies, and has 0 AP cost! Equipment: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Having decent equipment is one of the keys to success throughout the cave. - If your equipment doesn't seem to be helping very much, go through the story outside the cave until you can find a town with better equipment than you have - you should be able to afford it since going through the cave many times will make you very rich :) - A Rune Ring can be a great asset if you use it wisely, as when you get hit it counters with the Vampire move, which drains quite a bit of AP. However be wary with monsters that have higher agility than you, as if you do not go first, the counter attack counts as your move. Items: ¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Take lots of potions with you and always heal between floors. - Try and bring some AP restoring items with you (such as Charred Newt). More Tips: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Try and make sure you always have 3 AP left to Absorb more. - If you aren't sure you can take a boss (especially those I've highlighted with stars) then use a Providence (if you have it) and come back when you are a bit more confident. - Start from floor one every time for a greater chance of getting a Providence, it helps to have one if you need it :) - On the floors with the Cyclops dragons make sure you do one of two things when you fight them: a) take them out FIRST even though it is tempting to Rapidfire all the monsters - nothing sucks more than dying to Reaper Hit (My Eldin with 400+ hp got killed in 1 hit!) b) Use Mirror, then Reaper Hit won't land ... great huh? :) - Save before entering the cave (can't believe I forgot that one!) - If you ever get stuck on a floor, remember you can always level up more in the previous floors and get out before that one (if you are lucky enough to find a Providence) - Explore every nook and cranny of every floor, you never know where a chest or shrine may be hiding. - Never trigger the shrines that look like a temple, the only good things it does is restore status and HP. The potential bad things that can happen are not worth taking this risk (deadly poison, lowering HP, burns...). _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 07.

I'd recommend getting Miracle Hit by now to make it easier (but it is possible to do without it). If you don't have mirror by now and are still a bit low, Fortify will help protect you a little if you have it as well. _____________________________________________________________________________ B10F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 16 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Blood Bat, Butterfly, Cockatrice, Eagle, Lizardman, Mad Blub, Morphan, Neo Trice, Poison Bug, Pretty Moth, Shadowfly, Tarantula, Treant, Yan Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Iris Water (Equipment) Bone Shield, Cat Ears, Chopping Board, Cloth Hood, Cloth Tunic, Dagger, Insect Crush, Jelly Shield, Knife, Kukuri, Leather Armor, Leather Shield, Peplos, Pot, Rapier, Short Sword, Victory Bandanna, Wooden Mallet (Common) Antidote, Blue Tea, Fire Ball, Magic Guard, Mountain Disc, Mysterious Pin, Potion, Wind Fruit, 10G, 20G, 30G, 50G, 100G (Crap) Moldy Bread, Rotten Meat _____________________ BOSS: King Spider(x2) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 730 (total) HP 188 (each) AP 55 (each) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Dark Skills: Tackle Gold: 800G Strategy: An easy floor, dispose of them and move on :) _____________________________________________________________________________ B11F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 16 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Armored Nail, Blood Bat, Butterfly, Cockatrice, Eagle, Galeon, Killer Crab, Lizard Man, Mad Blub, Neo Trice, Poison Toad, Pretty Moth, Sea Crab, Shadowfly, Treant, Yan Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Crystal, Dark Ruby, Lake Sand, Sacred Branch (Equipment) Bark Shield, Buckler, Cap, Cat Ears, Cloth Helm, Cloth Hood, Glass Bracelet, Glass Stud, Gold Bracelet, Insect Crush, Iron Fang, Katyusha, Leather Shield, Mini Shield, Pelt Hood, Pointy Hat, Tail Ring, Scale Plate, Wooden Mallet (Common) Antidote, Earth Sap, Lak Cheese, Magic Guard, Mysterious Pin, Potion, Sanity Pill, Smart Tonic, Tower Disc, Vitamins, Wake-Up Call, 10G, 20G, 30G, 50G, 100G (Crap) Moldy Bread, Rotten Meat _________________ BOSS: Death Petal ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 850 HP 105 AP 60 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Earth Skills: Leaf Edge, Leech Gold: 160G Strategy: Not too difficult, pound it with Chance Hit and move on!

Gold: 500G Strategy: Another difficult challenge in the cave, definitely the worst you've faced so far, you'll need to have decent DFP to take it on. I'd recommend using Miracle Hit to keep damaging it and to stay healed (if you don't have it yet get it, you'll probably need it or a decent heal move for this fight). Don't bother using Antidote unless it's really getting on your nerves since poison hit lands pretty often making it a wasted move. I beat it at 22 as a mage, using Mirror, Absorb and Chance Hit. *Note*: There is the possibility that you can run it out of AP if you use the Mirror method, after which you might get stuck if you don't have enough AP left to Chance Hit it to death if your ATK isn't high enough. Try and bring some AP restoration items with you. _____________________________________________________________________________ B18F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 21 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Basilisk, Blue Griff, Bug Lord, Desert Rose, Drill Shell, Garbost, Medusa, Minotaur, Rafflesia, Shell Snake, Tartner, Thunder Dragon, Whitewing, Winged Lion, Yan Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Black Water, Dark Ruby, Lake Sand (Equipment) Bronze Armor, Buckler, Cap, Cat Ears, Glass Stud, Katyusha, Kite Shield, Leather Helm, Leather Shield, Peplos, Rune Shield, Short Sword, Tail Ring (Common) Daze Ball, Earth Sap, Insect Egg, Magic Guard, Mysterious Pin, Potion, Sanity Pill, Sleep Ball, Tower Disc, Wake-Up Call, 10G, 20G, 30G, 50G, 100G (Crap) Moldy Bread, Rotten Meat (yay!) _______________ BOSS: Metal Yan ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 680 HP 111 AP 32 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Wind Skills: Needle Rain, Strike Gold: 250G Strategy: Another easy fight after that really tough fight in the previous floor.

You will be doing most of your damage with Chance Hit with this boss so it shouldn't be so bad. This Boss is EXTREMELY annoying if you do not have (and even if you do :P): a) A DM to take some of those annoying mind blasts to leave you free to attack AND to take some of your hits instead of you yourself getting hurt when you are confused b) Decent DFP so you won't get smacked badly by your own offence (I had a Zircon sword without any of the armour when I first faced it and I didn't last long at all!) c) A healing move of some sort (Miracle Hit preferably, so if it uses Heal Plus it gets less of an advantage from doing it) Mirror will not protect you from Mind Blast, so just take it when you get given it and make sure you heal when you're sane again! Let me emphasise again: Facing this boss w/o a DM is NOT(!!!!!) recommended - it's possible but it will in all likelihood drive you wild and require you to be many more levels higher than you really have to be. *Good Luck!* _____________________________________________________________________________ B21F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 26 (With a DM) Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Armored Dog, Black Dragon, Blue Griff, Chimera, Doganbo, Fire Dragon, High Hydra, Ice Lizard, Lava Dragon, Snow Fiend, Thunder Dragon, Winged Lion Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Star Quartz (Equipment) Bark Shield, Cloth Helm, Fatal Pick, Fur Cape, Glass Cap, Gold Bracelet, Heavy Tunic, Iron Fang, Iron Saddle, Katyusha, Rod, Rune Shield, White Band (Common) Antidote, Lak Cheese, Magic Guard, Sanity Pill, Tower Disc, Wake-Up Call, 60G (Crap) Rotten Meat (yay!) _____________________ *BOSS*: Monster Crony ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 16000 HP 900 AP 280 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Dark Skills: Dark Breath, Sap Suds (reduces DFP of entire party), Slash Gold: 6850G Strategy: Very Similar to the above floor, but instead has Dark Breath which can still cause confusion. However his ATP is much stronger, so make sure you have enough DFP or he'll wipe the floor with you easily. Sometimes he fights with an armoured dog, try and take it out first if this is the case, as it usually dishes out a great deal of damage to your DM. On a lighter note, the Mirror strategy outlined in the General Notes section will work much better with this boss as it uses Dark Breath much less than the King Creeper uses Mind Blast. _____________________________________________________________________________ B22F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 26 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Black Dragon, Dark Spirit, Fire Dragon, Ghoul, High Hydra, Lava Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Wispy, Zombie Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Bright Gem, Lake Sand, Sacred Branch, Star Quartz (Equipment) Bark Helm, Buckler, Cotehardie, Cloth Helm, Fur Cape, Gladius, Glass Cap, Gold Bracelet, Katyusha, Long Staff, Metal Mail, Rod, Silk Toga, Tail Ring, White Band (Common) Charred Newt, Magic Guard, Potion, Sanity Pill, Sea Disc, Wake-Up Call, 30G, 60G, 200G (Crap) Rotten Meat __________________ BOSS: Earth Dragon ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 1600 HP 165 AP 130 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Earth Skills: Seismic Hit, Strike Gold: 6850G Strategy: You may want to use Mirror to keep from getting hurt too much on this floor, as its attack is fairly hefty. _____________________________________________________________________________ B23F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 26 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Black Dragon, Dark Spirit, Ghoul, Green Core(rare), High Hydra, Sky Horse, Sprite, Whitewing, Wispy, Zombie Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Black Water, Lake Sand, Sacred Branch, Star Quartz (Equipment) Air Edge, Cloth Helm, Fransesca, Fur Cape, Leaf Shield, Katyusha, Pelt Hood, Round Shield, Rune Shield, Stone Plate, White Band, Wooden Staff (Common) Charred Newt, Daze Ball, 30G, 100G (Crap) Moldy Bread, Rotten Meat __________ BOSS: Lich ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 1411 HP 88 AP 82 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Dark Skills: Baffle Bite (doesn't use often), Leech Gold: 402G Strategy: Yet another easy floor boss. _____________________________________________________________________________ B24F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 26 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Dark Wolf, Doganbo, Chimera, Green Core, Hellhound, Lunar Bear, Sky Horse, Sprite, Wood Fairy, Whitewing Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Black Water, Sacred Branch (Equipment) Bark Helm, Bark Shield, Dark Fang, Demon Fang, Glass Cap, Gold Bracelet, Hollow Shield, Jelly Helm, Moonlight Lance, Power Ring, Rune Shield, Tail Ring (Common) Antidote, Mysterious Pin, Potion, Sanity Pill, 30G, 60G, 90G, 100G, 200G (Crap) Moldy Bread ____________________ BOSS: Flying Egg(x2) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 3312 (total) HP 105 (each) AP 88 (each) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Light Skills: Leech, Repose Gold: 200G Strategy: Shouldn't be too hard, use Rapidfire if you have it to kill them fast. _____________________________________________________________________________ B25F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 26 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Beast Grass, Blood Plant, Chimera, Dark Wolf, Doganbo, Giant Bloom, Hellhound, Lunar Bear, Sprite, Vampire Rose Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Fire Sand (Equipment) Chain Mail, Coteharde, Fur Cape, Gold Bracelet, Hell Armor, Insect Crush, Leather Armor, Leather Vest, Long Staff, Metal Mail, Moonlight Lance (Common) Charred Newt, Dried Milk, Earth Sap, Forest Disc, Wake-Up Call, 30G, 60G, 90G, 200G ___________________ BOSS: Demon Eye(x2) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 3100 (total) HP 128 (each) AP 92 (each) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Dark Skills: Absorb, Leech Gold: 360G Strategy: You want to kill these ASAP to stop them Absorbing too much of your precious AP.

YAY! On a more serious note, he doesn't use Mind Blast as often as that King Creeper. Make sure you have quite a bit of DFP his attacks can really pack a punch. If your attack is low, just remove your weapon before this floor so you don't damage yourself a lot when you are confused. Use the strategy mentioned at the top of this guide in the general notes section - Mirror will help to keep him from damaging you a lot. This battle may take quite a while since Meditate heals 360HP. Use Rapidfire in-between Mirrors to gain an attack or two more per round if you aren't doing enough damage. Enfeeble and Fortify are also useful skills to use. Another way you could make it a bit faster is to drain all his AP first, as with 15 AP taken with Absorb, and the AP it costs for him to use Meditate, it shouldn't take more than five minutes to drain all his AP. Just make sure you have Mirror activated while you are draining his AP. _____________________________________________________________________________ B28F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 30 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Ammon, Earth Viper, Elasmosaur, Firebird, Hornfish, Iron Golem, Lava Dragon, Magma Golem, Octopod, Seahorse Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Black Water, Lake Sand, Star Quartz (Equipment) Bark Shield, Cutter Whip, Golden Cloak, Katyusha, Kite Shield, Long Staff, Magic Vestment, Shell Armor, Silver Shield (Common) Antidote, Earth Sap, Insect Egg, Mysterious Pin, Rose Seed, Sanity Pill, Sleep Ball, Solid Milk, Wake-Up Call, 30G, 60G, 90G, 100G, 200G (Crap) Moldy Bread _____________ BOSS: Octopus ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 1549 HP 103 AP 90 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Water Skills: Octostrike, Seismic Hit, Strike Gold: 470G Strategy: Not too hard, Chance Hit once or twice and it's gone. _____________________________________________________________________________ B29F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 30 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Armored Dog, Commander, Earth Viper, Firebird, Iron Golem, Lava Dragon, Light Essence, Magma Golem, Soldier, Teio Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Lake Sand, Star Quartz (Equipment) Bark Shield, Googles, Hard Mousse, Headband, Heavy Tunic, Leather Helm, Katyusha, Kite Shield, Leather Helm, Light Jacket, Light Tatoo, Scimitar, Silver Shield, Stone Helm, Tower Shield, Wind Armor (Common) Antidote, Earth Sap, Magic Guard, Mysterious Pin, Sanity Pill, Wind Fruit, 30G, 60G, 90G (Crap) Rotten Meat __________ BOSS: Garm ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 999 HP 140 AP 95 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Fire Skills: Fire Breath, Hellfire, Tackle Gold: 420G Strategy: Same as previous floor, not too difficult, don't mess with it however as a prolonged fight can see you dead. _____________________________________________________________________________ B30F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 30 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Armored Dog, Blue Core, Commander, Earth Viper, Giant Newt, Incubus, Iron Golem, Lich, Mousse XL, Neo Jelly, Soldier, Teio Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Lake Sand, Sacred Branch, Star Quartz (Equipment) Aqua Whip, Bark Shield, Hard Coat, Iron Hammer, Glass Cap, Katyusha, Kite Shield, Leather Helm, Light Jacket, Scimitar, tone Helm, Tower Shield (Common) Antidote, Blue Tea, Honey Stone, Magic Guard, Rose Seed, Sanity Pill, 60G, 90G, 200G (Crap) Rotten Meat ___________ BOSS: Siren ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 1803 HP 125 AP 142 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Water Skills: Leech, Odd Melody Gold: 212G Strategy: Another easy Floor Master, Chance Hit it to death _____________________________________________________________________________ B31F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 30 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Aqualoi, Blue Core, Bone Golem, Devilfish, Giant Newt, Incubus, Lamia, Lich, Neo Jelly, Piranha, White Whale Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Sacred Branch (Equipment) Bark Helm, Gauntlet, Golem Helm, Glass Cap, Long Staff, Pain Whip, Pole Axe, Round Shield, Rune Shield, Silver Helm, Techt Buckler (Common) Goddess Statue, Pure Water, Smart Tonic, Tower Disc, 30G, 60G, 90G, 100G _________________ BOSS: Demon Steed ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 1550 HP 122 AP 73 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Fire Skills: Cinder Slash, Slash Gold: 600G Strategy: Yep another easy one.

Needless to say I'd recommend using an antidote when it is possible, but if you can take 20 damage a round without it fazing you too much (it really shouldn't at this point) then don't. I'd recommend using mirror to stop them hurting you even more than the poison, and either take one out at a time or use something like Rapidfire to take out all three at the same time. Fortunately they don't have any healing moves so it shouldn't go on forever. _____________________________________________________________________________ B54F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 33 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Death Skull, Demon, Demon Lord, Dulfille, Holiner, Lucifer, Mousse XL, Saint Fang, Sky Tree, Winged Lizard Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Black Water, Dragon Fossil, Lake Sand, Sacred Branch, Star Quartz, Wind Ore (Equipment) Ancient Shield, Circlet, Dragon Edge, Dual Blade, Earth Armor, Earth Charm, Ernite Helm, Feather Cloak, Flash Ring, Goddess Sword, Holy Cap, Ice Boomerang, Master Shield, Master Sword, Mirror Shield, Power Robe, Silver Rod, Spiked Helm, Trident, Zircon Helm, Zircon Sword (Common) Cave Disc, Dried Meat, Earth Fruit, Magic Guard, Platinum Disc, Potion, Sanity Pill, Wake-Up Call, 60G, 90G, 150G, 300G (Crap) Moldy Bread, Rotten Meat ________________________ *BOSS*: Raijin's Servant ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 32767 HP 1850 AP 500 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Light Skills: Energy Bolt, Lullaby, Strike Gold: 100G Strategy: Once again use Mirror to save you, especially if your defence is low.

However it does have deadly hit, so you might have to use an antidote a few times to get rid of the poison. _____________________________________________________________________________ B56F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 34 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Air Elemental, Death, Deathbringer, Demon, Demon Lord, Garm, Lucifer, Stag, Toutei, Winged Lizard Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Dragon Fossil, Lake Sand, Sacred Branch, Star Quartz (Equipment) Advent Sword, Ancient Shield, Bright Horn, Bright Shield, Fire Armor, Flame Shield, Holy Robe, Master Sword, Orichalch Blade, Power Robe, Rainbow Veil, Restraint Chain, Sea King Helm, Silence Armor, Silver Bow, Silver Sword, Water Shield, Wind Shield, Yaska Hairpin, Zircon Armor (Common) Antidote, Charred Newt, Dried Milk, Magic Guard, Miracle, Potion, Sanity Pill, Wake-Up Call, 60G, 90G, 150G, 300G ________________________ *BOSS*: Winged Nightmare ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 32767 HP 2000 AP 700 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: Dark Skills: Alpha Wave(sleep), Strike, Ultra Freeze Gold: 32767G Strategy: Very similar to the above Floor Master, however Alpha Wave can present a big problem if he catches you without Mirror. Just Mirror as soon as you awaken and use Miracle Hit to heal any hurt taken. I'd also recommend using Chance Hit instead of fury to deal damage as its defence is pretty high, which makes Fury useless unless you have 350ish attack. Another way to overcome its high defence is to use Enfeeble a few times to weaken it enough for you to do decent damage to it. _____________________________________________________________________________ B57F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________________________________________________________________________ §§¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯§§ §§ The Floor Master on this level is VERY aggravating, especially if you §§ §§ don't have a durable DM to take his Fury.

Make sure your DM is in the first slot and has decent defence so you have some chance of withstanding the initial onslaught. It does not matter if it tends to run or not, it is just there to take some of the first round hits so you have some chance of living until you can use Mirror. When it is your turn, use Mirror. Now sit and wait for his 50+ hits (:P) and then what happens is up to you. You can use Rapidfire (even though it won't do any damage) to make it so he gets less hits per round (1 or 2 anyway) or you can just Chance Hit to wear him down. Just remember to keep mirroring every third turn of yours and you will be sure to win ... eventually :) Another strategy for this boss is to equip a Vampire Ring since he gets so many hits before you. His AP will get drained in no time, and you can pound him to a pulp using your skills of choice. _____________________________________________________________________________ B58F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 36 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Cyclops Dragon, Earth Dragon, Gold Dragon, King Hydra, Muse, Nightmare Dragon, Saint Fang, Unicorn, White Snake Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Black Water, Dragon Fossil, Fire Ore, Lake Sand, Star Quartz (Equipment) Bright Cap, Bright Shield, Dark Shield, Demon Horn, Dual Blade, Earth Charm, Ernite Dress, Feathered Cap, Happy Mask, Heavy Lance, Holy Edge, Holy Shield, Iris Sword, Master Armor, Master Sword, Miracle Plate, Mirror Shield, Mist Shield, Phoenix Staff, Power Robe, Recover Armor, Restraint Chain, Silver Bow, Silver Sword, Soul Clothes, Water Charm, Zircon Armor (Common) Antidote, Earth Fruit, Earth Sap, Healing Disc, Insect Egg, Magic Guard, Mysterious Pin, Sanity Pill, Sleep Ball, Solid Milk, Tower Disc, Wake-Up Call, 60G, 90G, 150G, 300G (Crap) Rotten Meat ______________ *BOSS*: Shinju ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 32767 HP 2000 AP 892 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: None Skills: Meditate (arg!), Meteor Rain, Strike Gold: 32767G Strategy: Another seriously aggravating Floor Master ... meditate heals 400hp, and unless you have some SERIOUS attack power, you can't really do even half that per round. So first thing you should do is Mirror, then Rapidfire some to gain a turn, then in the next Mirror period use Fury (if it's strong enough) or Chance Hit to wear it down. Enfeeble may help if Fury just does not cut it. Rinse and repeat with Absorb periods if needed. _____________________________________________________________________________ B59F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________________________________________________________________________ §§¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯§§ §§ Try to have as much AP after finishing with this boss as possible, it §§ §§ will make the final boss a bit less aggravating. §§ §§_________________________________________________________________________§§ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 36 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Cyclops Dragon, Earth Dragon, Gold Core, Gold Dragon, Gold Golem, Golden Fox, Golden Toad, King Hydra, Nightmare Dragon Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Black Water, Dragon Fossil, Earth Ore, Lake Sand, Sacred Branch, Star Quartz (Equipment) Adamant Axe, Ancient Armor, Ancient Sword, Apollo Shield, Bright Cap, Bright Shield, Dark Shield, Divine Armor, Divine Helmet, Dragon Edge, Dragon Ring, Earth Armor, Ernite Dress, Fire Charm, Fire Shield, Flash Ring, Gaia Sword, Goddess Sword, Heavy Lance, Holy Cap, Ice Maiden Blade, Ice Shield, Iris Sword, Lucinia Armor(!), Master Shield, Miracle Plate, Mute Armor, Pheonix Staff, Power Robe, Restraint Chain, Rune Ring, Sacred Sword, Safety Hat, Silver Sword, Supreme Claw, Wind Charm (Common) Antidote, Charred Newt, Earth Sap, Ex-Magic, Hi-Potion, Magic Guard, Mysterious Pin, Revival Disc, Sanity Pill, Smoke Ball, Stun Ball, Wake-Up Call, Wind Fruit, 60G, 90G, 150G, 300G (Crap) Moldy Bread _______________________ *BOSS*: Platinum Dragon ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ EXP 32000 HP 2000 AP 492 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Type: None Skills: Cheer, Enfeeble, Fire Breath, Horrify, Meditate (arg!), Meteor Rain Gold: 30000G Strategy: Another seriously aggravating Floor Master ...

(Yes it's the same strat, it's similar to the previous floor) With this boss though you could probably drain all of its AP and it'd take you less time than if you didn't Absorb it dry. _____________________________________________________________________________ B60F Ancient Cave Guide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________________________________________________________________________ §§¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯§§ §§ This is the final floor, be wary if you have low defence, as this boss §§ §§ can easily hit for 200+ damage if your defence is low. §§ §§_________________________________________________________________________§§ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Recommended Level: 37 Monsters Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Gold Core, Gold Dragon, Golden Fox, Golden Toad Treasure Found: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ (Rare) Dragon Fossil, Lake Sand, Sacred Branch, Star Quartz, Wind Ore (Equipment) Ancient Shield, Body Paint, Bright Horn, Bright Plate, Bright Shield, Bright Tiara, Divine Armor, Divine Helm, Divine Shield, Dragon Edge, Egg Ring, Ernite Dress, Gaia Sword(!

Use Mirror the first move you have (assuming you survive its first attack) or it'll smack you silly. Just use the strategy in the general notes section and you'll be fine (using Chance Hit to do the damage). It is very easy if you use this method :) (Thankfully it has NO healing moves! (maybe heal plus... imitate won't show that)) Having said that if it uses Tongue Hold (Which stops you from using skills for three turns) make sure you use Mirror the second you can if you are still alive. This attack might take quite a while, but don't fret, you'll beat it! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ *** CONGRATULATIONS YOU JUST BEAT THE CAVE!! *** *** Your just reward is an egg ring (+50 to all attributes) :D *** _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _____________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 08.
