To advance deeper in the Mines, a ladder must be revealed on each floor. The ladder will sometimes appear when rocks are broken or after an enemy is defeated (killing enemies is the stamina-free option to finding ladders). If a floor is "infested" or "overrun" by monsters, all enemies must be defeated on that floor before a ladder will appear.

Dying in the Mines causes the player to "forget" several of the most recent floors. Generally, around 5-11 floors will be lost, which means the elevator to those floors will not be accessible until progression is once again made. 10% of the player's gold will also be lost, as well as various inventory items, including [[weapons]] and [[tools]] (except for the [[Galaxy Sword]]). If tools are lost, they will be returned in the mail on the following day, though [[Tools#Fishing_Poles|Fishing poles]] and weapons will not be returned.  After dying in the mines, you will awaken in the mine entrance, apparently having been found by one of the villagers who live nearby.

Passing out from drained health in the Mines causes the player to lose 10% of their gold, as well as various inventory items, including [[weapons]] and [[tools]] (except for the [[Galaxy Sword]]). If tools are lost, they will be returned in the mail on the following day, though [[Tools#Fishing_Poles|Fishing poles]] and weapons will not be returned.  After passing out in the mines, the player will awaken in the mine entrance, found by one of the villagers.  {{Review|can wake up in Harvey's clinic? Or is that only for the skull cavern?}}

 

Lost items are recovered by [[Marlon]] at the [[Adventurer's Guild]].  A single lost item can be purchased there, anytime after passing out due to low health.  The cost will be the the base sell price of the item (''i.e.,'' the gold that would be obtained from selling the item).  Marlon's Item Recovery Service persists until the next time the player loses items in the Mines.

A [[Minecart]] is located on the entry floor for quick travel to and from the mine. It is unlocked by completing the [[Community Center]] [[Bundles#Boiler Room|boiler room]] bundles or purchased from the [[Joja Community Development Form]].
