An area called the [[Final Fantasy/Walkthrough#Hall of Giants|Hall of Giants]] lies just left of the entrance.  In this branching corridor you will encounter Hill Gigas (Giants) and Lizards (Iguanas) at every step.  Avoid it unless you want to fight large monsters and level up quickly.  With each victory, you will earn 879 experience points and 879 Gil per Gigas!  (Fighting Gigas is easiest with the Great Sword (Giant Sword), which you find in the [[Final Fantasy/Locations#Mt. Gulg|Mt. Gulg Volcano]].)

While exploring this expansive floor, be prepared for ambushes by Piscodemons and Cockatrices.  Remember to heal up before examining every chest; you never know when you'll be ambushed by a fight that you can't run away from.  Once you make it all the way around to the lower left side of the floor, you will reach a small chamber, whose inhabitant is none other than a [[Final Fantasy/Bosses#Vampire|Vampire]].

The next destination is the Titan's Cave, which is west of the isthmus that leads to the Cavern of Earth.  Titan's Cave is very small and guarded by a giant Golem.  It is impossible to fight your way past the Golem.  He won't allow you to pass unless you feed him with the Star Ruby.  Be sure to collect the treasures before you pass through to the Sage's cave.

Now you're entering the depths of the Terra Cave, drawing closer to the true source of the earth rot.  Some tougher enemies will be waiting for you down here.  Earth Elementals won't be the only source of treasure-searching ambushes.  You will also encounter groups of Ogres and Hyenadons, and the occasional high-experience point granting Sphinx.
