Mysterious Cave Walkthrough

1 After loading your completed save, teleport to the Castle of the Dragon Queen.
2 Head to the back and walk into the light to enter "???". Once you've teleported to the mysterious floating island, go to the Secret Spot in the east to recruit a friendly Metal Slime.
▶ All Friendly Monster Locations
* Before going into the cave, you can teleport away to farm EXP and stock up on resources first. This is the longest dungeon in the game so make sure you're prepared before going in.
3 When you're ready, head inside the cave to take on the Mysterious Cave.
4 Once you're inside, go through the cave until you reach the Orochi's Lair level. Remember to also explore for any items and chests while you're in this dungeon.
5 Inside the volcano map, there will be a friendly Green Dragon east of the second branching path so make sure to recruit them.
6 From there, continue on until you get to the stairs going down. Before going through, go east first to grab the Mountaincleaver from a chest.

While this is no longer useful at this point in the game, it's still nice to have it back in your inventory.
7 Head down the stairs to the Pyramid level and go to the southwest of the vertical path to grab a Mini Medal. Once you've got that, head down the northeastern stairs and talk to the priest.
8 After making a save, go back up and head down the other staircase to reach a room with a healing circle. Stand on the glyph to restore your HP and MP before continuing on.
9 Before heading down to the next floor, go open the chest in the northeast for a Mini Medal.
10 Continue on until you reach the Jail level and recruit the friendly She-Slime in the cell just north of where you appeared.
11 Once you've recruited them, head up to the Monster Arena level and defeat the Terror Troll to unlock the way to the Cloudsgate Citadel.
