Super Hydlide/Memorial Cave

Having figured out the secret of the warehouse, you are now able to access the cave below the city.



This cave extends quite a bit more than the first floor of. There are many corners of the dungeon which are trapped with poison, so it's a good idea to know the Detoxify spell, or carry a lot of Antidotes with you. Additionally, it's not wise to enter here without knowing the Move spell, as getting out if you are injured or weighed down can be a little tricky

It is also quite dark. This is the first location that will require some form of light in order for you to navigate it. If you are a Cleric or a Monk, it is worth it to learn the 10th spell, Flash, from the. Flash is far better than a Lamp in that it lights up the entire screen while the spell is active. Fighters and Thieves have no choice but to use a Lamp. But not all oils are equal. Ordinary oil will only allow the lamp to shine light in a one-tile radius around you, while Super Oil extends that light much farther. If you are exploring the cave for the first time, Super Oil is highly recommended.

The next important thing to know is who you will encounter in the cave. There are four different types of monsters in here. If you're worried about attacking the wrong monsters, the good news is that three of them are evil and only one is good. The bad news is that the one good monster closely resembles one of the evil monsters. There are two ghost-like enemies. The slow ghost that is pure white is a good enemy and should not be attacked. It's slightly faster cousin is more lavender in color, and should be attacked. Joining them are Evil Eyes and Zombies. Zombies are worth the most experience points. It's worth grinding here for a little while, at least until you reach level 10.

From where you start, you have the option to explore up, or to the left. You won't find much of interest to the left, other than a useless Stick in a treasure chest, and wall with runes that you can't read. If you head up, you enter a room where you see a treasure chest that looks isolated. You can reach the chest by walking down through the northern wall. This chest contains a Ration of Food.

Continuing up, you reach a room where you have a lot of options:
 * Up:Heading up through the upper right corner ultimately leads to a dead-end, but along the way, you'll discover a chest with the incredible Magic Armor, which offers good defense at a fairly low weight. You should consider equipping it right away, and selling whatever armor you happen to be wearing.
 * Right:If you explore the paths to the right, you will have to walk down any one of the three long corridors to reach the far side of the cave. There's a treasure chest in the lower right corner, and if you open it, you will find a Cure all medicine.
 * Left:A treasure chest along the bottom may intrigue you, but if you examine it, you will find the Silver Armor, which is incredibly heavy. It will undoubtedly weigh you down and make it hard to move.  If you have the magic and don't mind the detour, you can collect it, cast Move to return to Forest City, and sell it at the general store for approximately 32,000 coins, depending on your Charm level.
