Unlike the Mines or Skull Cavern, the game populates each level with these items only once each day. Within the dungeon, the player will encounter a variety of monsters, and may find Mystic Stones or other mining nodes that yield Cinder Shards, gems, or ores (including iridium). A player who passes out at 2AM in the Volcano Dungeon awakens the next day in the Island Farmhouse and the game deducts 2,500g from available funds. Exit from the dungeon is accomplished by retracing the path through the levels and up to the cave's entryway, except by means of Warp Totems or Return Scepter. Instead, the player must find the doorway that leads to the next level in each level. Unlike the Skull Cavern or The Mines, the Volcano Dungeon does not have ladders for instant exits or descent through levels. Once across the lava river, the player can proceed north through the doorway to enter the first level of the dungeon. After the player completes the dungeon, a parrot offers to build a permanent bridge in exchange for 5 Golden Walnuts. The path remains for the length of the day, but disappears every night. A steel (or higher) watering can is able to cover 5 squares in line, enough to build a bridge with a single tool use. To cross the lava river and enter the dungeon, pour water on it with the watering can, creating a pathway to walk on. On its east side is a gate, initially locked, with a button on the floor to the south through the gate, out of reach. On the west side of the entryway is a pool of water. The dungeon consists of ten levels through which the player must proceed in sequence to reach the Forge, thereby "completing" the dungeon.Įntering the cave, the player faces a lava river, across which lies the Volcano Dungeon. The Volcano Dungeon is located inside the volcano at the north end of Ginger Island, accessed through a large cave on the south side of the volcano.
