Introduction The Sealed Cave was probably designed to be challenged after you beat the game. Anyone around level 30 is powerful enough get through all 4 floors with the right magic. There are treasures here that are truly great so if you want to make the rest of the game a breeze, go ahead and give it a shot. I'm going to assume that you know the controls and everything, and for other references please goto Joe Monson's awesome FAQ. In order to access this cave, you must cast a light or dark spell on the door by the beach in the beginning of the game. The earliest place to get a light/dark gem is after the mine shaft and you kill Captain Darrell who gives you the Sunshine Gem. This is the fastest way of accessing the cave, but I suggest getting Dark Flash, Power of Seek, and Enlightenment to make your trip much safer. 1234567890 .......... 2.

Run through and try to gun it to the second floor, or 2. Explore the level. If you run, have Protect on, and hold on a curing spell, in case a werewolf gets you. If you decide to explore this level be sure to use the compass. Enemies: Werewolf - They probably do the most damage on this floor, but easy to dodge. Two of them will attack simultaneously near the level 2 warp point. Poison Bomb - Stab, stab, stab, and when you hear the rumbling, run. Their explosions hurt! Flame Rat - Annoying little guys. If they're left alone, they'll shoot fire at you. Corner and kill. Huge Sahagin - Mini-Boss that stays in their rooms. Hit them with magic from afar. Items: Elder Dragon Gems - These are the best Fire, Wind, Earth and Water gems you can possibly get. Throw 6 of them into a ring of magic and get a dragon summon ring. Ring of Magic - Use to make magic rings Fortune Ring - Doubles your chance of enemies dropping items 3.

They get really pesky so be sure to get rid of them quickly. Invisible Poison Bomb - They spawn from the trees forever, and don't drop items, so ignore them. Invisible Fire Giant - They hide, so when you spot two flames together, you'll know its one of them. Living Armor - Easy to kill Berzerker - The Mini-Bosses each drop great rings Nosferatu - Watch out for their fireballs. Blue Crab - They can only be hurt when you're really close to them. Items: Elder Dragon Gems - These are the best Light and Dark gems you can possibly get. Throw 6 of them into a ring of magic and get a dragon summon ring. Create Life - SLOWLY refills your HP Dark Pact - SLOWLY refills your MP. There is a bug in the game which says Dark Pact refills HP, but it's just a mistake. Ring of Magic - Use to make magic rings 4.

Each will give you a level up. Lizardman - Strafe their running swings, then when they stay still, stab, back off, stab, back off... Dying Lizardman - Ignore them. Witch - Kill them before they can cast any damaging spells Twin Tail - In pairs, they are very annoying. Items: Assorted Dragon Fangs - Each different Fang raises each corresponding attribute by 3 points. Ring of Magic - Use to make magic rings. 5.

He'll be surrounded by 4 ghosts which are also immune to magic (by the boss' magic seal). Also, you can exit and re-enter the level in order to get more elder dragon fangs. Enemies: Ghost - They will shoot lightning which also causes curse. Evil Knight - He casts magic seal constantly, so just kill him with melee combat. Evil Knight Boss - He is a lot more difficult than the last boss of the game. He'll come at you with magic seal, and other attack spells. Kill him by dodging his initial two swings, then go in for a hit. Back off, and repeat. White Crab - They do monster damage, so be careful around them. As with the other crabs in this dungeon, they can only be hurt when you're close to them. Berzerker - They're very tough to kill in melee combat at early levels, so use spells if possible. Items: Eternal Sword - The best weapon in the game! Kaiser Knuckle - Better attack than Eternal Sword, but lowers all other attributes. Animate Sword - Attack almost constantly and with no pause. Ring of Magic - Use to make magic rings. Elder Dragon Fang - Raises all attributes by two points. 6. Game Bugs This section was previously Unanswered Questions section, but I removed the title because I got many e-mails stating different stories. The Burn Edge ring is usually found by defeating the cockatrice of the north room in the ice level (level 3). In some versions of the game, including mine, this bird never gives infinite magic rings, nor does it give out any Burn Edge ring. This applies also to the Stilleto Sword, which is in the chest at the Tree Village. Oh well... 7. FAQ info Version .3 - Game Bugs added, Unanswered Questions removed.
