Descent[]
Descent.
Entered Cosmo Canyon - Gate of Naught. Listed as Sealed Cave in the menu. The area simply comprises a descent down a ladder.
Cave Switch Room[]
Cave Switch Room.
The first room of the dungeon contains a number of caves each with a switch inside when entered, with the options "Break it open" or "Leave it alone". The third of these opens the door to the next room, the Two Level Room, while the other caves will simply trigger battles.
Two Level Room[]
This room contains the Black M-phone, an Ether, and an exit to the south to acquire the Added Effect Materia from the Rock Switch Room. Added Effect cannot be found anywhere else, so it will be permanently missed if the player does not pick it up before Bugenhagen reseals the cave.
The left end of the room (toward the south exit) contains sludge on the floor, so running across it will cause the party to run into spikes that deal HP damage. The northwest end leads to the next room.
Spider Room[]
The five tunnels in the Spider Room with their general paths.
This room has five tunnels. The player has to choose one upon entering the room. The tunnels lead to three chests and the exit. The tunnels, when numbered 1–5 from left to right, lead to the following areas:
- Tunnels 1 and 5 directly link to each other, and tunnel 3 is a dead end.
- Tunnel 4 leads to a spider web that requires the player to defeat a Stinger to pass through. Beyond the web is a chest containing an X-Potion.
- Tunnel 2 leads to another spider web that requires the player to defeat a Stinger, followed by a network of pathways where the bottom left route leads to the chest containing the Fairy Ring, and straight forward leads to the last spider web and Stinger to defeat. Immediately behind and left of the web is the path to the third chest in the room, which contains a Turbo Ether.
Past tunnel 2 is also the path north to the final room of the cave.
Exit[]
