In Explorers of Time and Darkness, a Wonder Mail password is the only way to unlock this dungeon; in Explorers of Sky, it can be unlocked via Spinda's Café. Once the player has cleared Crevice Cave and obtained the Secret Rank, the following codes can unlock this dungeon.

Gameplay

The jobs are ranked E or ★2 through ★7 by default, depending on the floor.

The dungeon uses following layouts:

  • Large-sized with following amount of rooms:
    • 3-6 on floors 12 and 27
    • 3-8 on floors 11, 13, 26 and 28
    • 3-10 on floors 1, 10, 14, 16, 25 and 29
    • 3-12 on floors 2, 9, 17 and 24
    • 3-14 on floors 3, 7, 18 and 22
    • 3-18 on floors 4, 8, 19 and 23
  • Floor 15 has hallways in center with rooms on the edge
  • Floors 5, 6, 20 and 21 have a giant room in middle with smaller rooms on left and right.

There's 2-5 items on the floor, except on floors 4, 8, 12, 15, 20 and 28, where there are 4-7. There's 6-9 items buried in the walls. There is a 10% chance each for a room on every fourth floor, starting from 1, to be filled with water tiles.

The amount of starting enemies rises as the player goes deeper into the dungeon, specifically:

  • 2-3 on floors 1 and 2
  • 2-4 on floors 3 and 4
  • 3-5 on floors 5 and 6
  • 3-6 on floors 7 and 8
  • 4-7 on floors 9 through 25
  • 4-8 on floors 26 through 29

The IQ Booster activates on every floor. Turn limit is 1000. Enemies in the dungeon have 331IQ, including Giratina. There is light darkness in the dungeon. There is water in the dungeon on floors 3, 5, 7, 11, 12, 15, 19, 22, 24 and 26 (on top of the water that might occasionally spawn in the rooms). The items in this dungeon spawn sticky 5% of the time.

Like other Seven Treasures dungeons other than Sky Stairway, stat boosting items and Lost Loot are buried in the walls (in contrast to most dungeons which only have Poké).
