Sealed Cave (Final Fantasy IV)



The Sealed Cave, also known as Sealed Cavern, is a location in the games Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years. It is located in the Underworld, and it is the location of the last Dark Crystal.

The cave's gate is sealed, and only a necklace held by Luca, the princess of the Dwarves, can open it. The cave's passages are bewitched to reveal Trap Doors whenever an intruder attempts to open a door and a wall attempts to trap intruders who have retrieved the Crystal.

The game's SNES and PS versions contain a glitch that allows the player to skip the Sealed Cave completely.

Final Fantasy IV
Cecil, Kain, Rydia, Rosa, and Edge arrive at the cave with the necklace and open the door. After they obtain the Crystal they are ambushed by the Demon Wall as they exit the cave. Golbez is able to reach out with his mind and bewitch Kain into stealing the Crystal and bringing it to him.

Final Fantasy IV -Interlude-
A year after the events of Final Fantasy IV, monsters are reported to be swarming out of the Sealed Cave. Cecil, Cid, Palom and Porom travel to the cave to investigate and find Rydia collapsed in the Crystal Room. She awakens as they approach and says nothing but to urge them to go to the Tower of Babil.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years
Rydia, with the help of Luca and her dolls, Calca and Brina, go to the Sealed Cave in order to retrieve the Dark Crystal to protect it from the Mysterious Girl. However, their attempts are futile as she appears when they attempt to leave the cave with the Crystal and takes it from them, incapacitating Calca and Brina in the process.

Locations
It is accessible from B5's north exit, and holds the last Dark Crystal. After the party obtains it, they must get out of the cave quickly, by foot, as the Teleport or Warp spell will not work.
