Turnback Cave is a maze-like cave filled with dense [[fog]]. The cave has a fixed starting point—the entrance room—and a fixed terminal room—Giratina's room. The rooms between those points are random every time the player goes through a door, and the room generated will be in one of two types of layouts: a room with a single pillar in the center, or a room with an odd pattern of rocks that may obstruct other entrances.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, saving the game and reloading from within any intermediate room will cause all doors in that room to lead back to the entrance room. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, reloading a save within an intermediate room will cause the door which the room was originally entered from to be forgotten, meaning no door will lead to the entrance unless 30 rooms have already been entered.

Giratina's room has four entrances like other rooms in the cave, and from each a set of stairs descends to a central pedestal upon which Giratina will stand (or an item if Giratina has already been caught). In Pokémon Platinum, Giratina will only be present if the player did not catch it in the [[Distortion World]]. If Giratina has been caught, there will be a portal to the Distortion World where the player can obtain the [[Griseous Orb]]. If Giratina is not present, there will be an item, which reappears upon each subsequent visit to the room. Exiting any one of the doors from this room will return the player back to the entrance room.

Turnback Cave is a small yet spacious rounded cavern that is empty, with stone pillars lining the wall. Giratina will appear in the cave after accepting {{DL|Task|Requests|Request}} 91: "On The Trail of Giratina" from [[Professor Laventon]].

Only five of the six possible rooms have wild encounters; the [[Media:Turnback Cave Two Pillar Random Rooms DPPt.png|second of the possible rooms]] between these pillars never has wild encounters.

While there is a fourth encounter table in the game code for generating encounters where everything is a further 10 levels higher after the third pillar, it is not used and is thus not encounterable through vanilla gameplay. Any tables with values of a Lvl. 45 Bronzong in Platinum, for example, are not representative of vanilla gameplay.

{{p|Giratina}} can be caught in its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pokémon of Myth|Origin Forme]] during [[Task#Requests|Request]] 91: "On the Trail of Giratina", which becomes available after completion of Mission 26: "Seeking the Remaining Plates". It is coded to never be {{Shiny}}. If defeated, it respawns after the player exits and reenters the cave.
