===Passage Through the Dungeon===

===Passage Through the Dungeon===

Unlike the Skull Cavern or the Mines, the Volcano Dungeon does not have ladders for instant exits or descent through levels. Instead, the player must find in each level the doorway that leads to the next level. Exit from the dungeon is accomplished by retracing the path through the levels and up to the cave's entryway, except by means of warp or [[Return Scepter]].

Exit from the dungeon is accomplished by retracing the path through the levels and up to the cave's entryway, except by means of [[Warp Totem]]s.

Within the dungeon, the player will encounter a variety of monsters, and may find Mystic Stones or other [[Mining#Mining Nodes|mining nodes]] that yield [[Cinder Shard]]s, gems, or ores (including iridium). Level nine always contains a chest. Unlike [[the Mines]] or [[Skull Cavern]], the game populates each level with these items only once each day. Leaving and reentering the dungeon does not cause re-spawning on the same day.

Once the parrot appears on level five, it can create a special dungeon exit (hole in the floor) for 5 [[Golden Walnut]]s. This exit takes the player outside to the east side of the volcano, next to the [[Ginger Island#Parrot Express|Parrot Express]]. Once outside, the player cannot reenter at level five, but must start at the cave.

There is also an open doorway in the southwest corner of level ten that takes the player back to the far side of the gate at the entryway to the cave. Once there, the player must step on the button on the floor to permanently open the entryway gate, allowing passage in either direction thereafter. Thus, completing the dungeon permits direct access to the Forge.

On level 5 of the dungeon, there is a dwarf that runs a small shop, as well as a pool where the player can refill the watering can. (Three crates are always present on this level. Breaking them may spawn a [[Dwarvish Sentry]], just like on any other level. The crate closest to the dwarf always drops a gold quality [[Magma Cap]].)
