The '''Volcano Dungeon''' is located inside the volcano at the north end of [[Ginger Island]], accessed through a large cave on the south side of the volcano. The dungeon consists of ten floors through which the player must proceed in sequence to reach the [[Forge]], thereby "completing" the dungeon.

Entering the cave, the player faces a lava river, across which lies the Volcano Dungeon. On the west side of the entryway is a pool of water. On its east side is a gate, initially locked, with a button on the floor to the south through the gate, out of reach.

To cross the lava river and enter the dungeon, pour water on it with the [[Watering Cans|watering can]], creating a pathway to walk on. A steel (or higher) watering can is able to cover 5 squares in line, enough to build a bridge with a single tool use. The path remains for the length of the day, but disappears every night. After the player completes the dungeon, a parrot offers to build a permanent bridge in exchange for 5 [[Golden Walnut]]s.

===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 the doorway that leads to the next level in each 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 Totem]]s or [[Return Scepter]]. A player who passes out at 2AM in the Volcano Dungeon awakens the next day in the Island Farmhouse and the game deducts {{price|2500}} from available funds.

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

Within the dungeon, the player will encounter a variety of monsters, and may find [[Mining#Mystic Stone|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 again by entering 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.

After achieving [[Perfection]], a [[??? (hat)|secret hat]] can be obtained.

===Gated Doors===

===Gated Doors===

On some floors in the dungeon, the gateway to the next level may be blocked behind a gate. The gate has small colored dots to indicate the state of the locks that control its opening: red for locked, green for unlocked. The gate opens once all dots are green, and the player can then move to the next level.

The gate is activated by 1 to 3 pressure pads. Standing on the pad will push it downward making the red dot become a green dot. The player must search for all of these pads throughout the current level to reach the next level.

On level 5 of the dungeon, there is a dwarf that runs a small shop and a pool where [[The Player]] can refill their [[Watering Cans|Watering Can]]. Three crates are always present on this level. Monsters cannot spawn here, but a [[Dwarvish Sentry]] can still spawn when a crate is broken. The crate closest to the dwarf always drops a gold quality [[Magma Cap]], assuming it is not empty.

*If the player collects a [[Prismatic Shard]] from the [[Forge]], then exits and re-enters the Forge from the quick entrance at the start of the Dungeon, the chest containing the Prismatic Shard will still be there, and the player can collect another Prismatic Shard. This can be repeated multiple times (including after saving and loading the game), as long as the player avoids entering the Forge from the last level of the Volcano Dungeon.
