Mist Cave

The Mist Cave (ミストのどうくつ, Misuto no doukutsu, lit. Cave of Mist), also known as Misty Cave, is a dungeon in the games Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. It is the cave that leads from Baron to Mist, and it is named such because the cave is shrouded in mist.

Story
In the original game, Cecil Harvey and Kain Highwind must travel through this cave in order to deliver the Carnelian Signet to Mist. On the way, they hear a voice telling them to return to Baron. When they refuse, the mist gathers and they must fight the Mist Dragon.

Seventeen years later, Ceodore Harvey and the Hooded Man reach the Mist Cave to get to Mist and talk to Ceodore's father and mother, Cecil and Rosa Joanna Farrell.

Shops
In Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, the player can talk to Namingway to buy items from him.
