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.
[[File:VolcanoDungeon_Entryway.png|thumb|right|Volcano Dungeon's Entryway]]
 
The '''Volcano Dungeon''' is located at the north end of [[Ginger Island]]. Entering the cave puts the player outside of the Volcano Dungeon. The entryway has a pool of water on the left side, along with a gate in the bottom right corner with a button on the far side of the gate. This cannot be accessed until the player has completed the dungeon.
 
  
The lava river can be crossed by pouring water on it with a watering can. A steel (or higher) watering can is able to cover 5 squares in line, which will cover the width of the lava river without having to use the watering can numerous times. The path will stay for the length of the day, but disappears every night. After the player completes the dungeon, a parrot will offer to build a bridge in exchange for [[Golden Walnut]]s.
+
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.
  
Once across the lava river, the player can proceed north through the doorway to enter the first level of the dungeon.
+
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.
  
[[Mining#Mining Nodes|Mystic stones]] and [[Mining#Mining Nodes|iridium nodes]] occasionally appear in the dungeon. Unlike [[the Mines]] or [[Skull Cavern]], leaving and reentering the dungeon does not result in monsters spawning again on the same day. Level 9 always contains a chest.
+
Once across the lava river, the player can proceed north, past a few monsters and through the doorway, to enter the first floor of the dungeon.
  
===Exiting===
+
==Passage Through the Dungeon==
 +
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]]. 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 or instant exits on every level. There is an exit on the 10th level in the lower left corner that takes the player back to the entrance of the tunnel and allows them to unlock the gate for future access to the forge.  
+
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). Floor nine always contains a chest. Unlike the Mines or Skull Cavern, the game populates each floor with these items only once each day. Leaving and reentering the dungeon does not cause re-spawning on the same day.
  
At a certain point, a parrot will appear on the 5th level and can create an exit for 5 [[Golden Walnut]]s. This exit takes the player to the east side of the volcano, next to the [[Ginger Island#Parrot Express|Parrot Express]].
+
Once the parrot appears on floor 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 floor five, but must start again by entering the cave.
 +
 
 +
===Floor 10===
 +
The [[Forge]] is located at the end of the Volcano Dungeon.
 +
 
 +
There is also an open doorway in the southwest corner 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.

Level 10 of the dungeon contains the [[Forge]]. Players can pay [[Cinder Shard]]s to use various gems on their weapons and equipment, giving enhancements and enchantments. This level has an exit to the volcano's entry in the lower left corner. Players can fish in the new magma area, to get items such as [[Lava Eel]], fishing junk, and new furniture item(s) such as the painting [['Physics 101']]. After achieving 100% [[Perfection]], you can obtain a [[??? (hat)|secret hat]].

===Gated Doors===
 
===Gated Doors===
On some floors in the dungeon, the doorway is blocked by a fence. In order to unlock it the player must go walk over the corresponding buttons on that level. The door will have small red or green dots to show how many buttons there are and if they've been pressed yet. Once all of the dots are green, the gate will open and the player can move on to the next level.
+
On some floors in the dungeon, the gateway to the next floor 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 floor.

Volcano Dungeon's Entryway

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 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 Walnuts.

Once across the lava river, the player can proceed north, past a few monsters and through the doorway, to enter the first floor of 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 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 Totems 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 data-sort-value="2500">Gold.png2,500g from available funds.

Within the dungeon, the player will encounter a variety of monsters, and may find Mystic Stones or other mining nodes that yield Cinder Shards, gems, or ores (including iridium). Floor nine always contains a chest. Unlike the Mines or Skull Cavern, the game populates each floor 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 floor five, it can create a special dungeon exit (hole in the floor) for 5 Golden Walnuts. This exit takes the player outside to the east side of the volcano, next to the Parrot Express. Once outside, the player cannot reenter at floor five, but must start again by entering the cave.

Floor 10

The Forge is located at the end of the Volcano Dungeon.

There is also an open doorway in the southwest corner 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 the shortcut between Floor 10 and the Volcano entrance has been unlocked, 20 additional floor layouts can appear.

Monsters

The volcano dungeon holds a unique set of Monsters.

Special Floors

Volcano Caldera

Floor 10 of the dungeon contains the Forge. Players can pay Cinder Shards to use various gems on their weapons and equipment, giving enhancements and enchantments. This floor has an exit to the volcano's entry in the southwest corner. Players can fish in the magma area to get Lava Eel, Trash, and the painting 'Physics 101'. There is a chest containing 1 Prismatic Shard upon the player's first visit, which does not respawn when taken.

Gated Doors

On some floors in the dungeon, the gateway to the next floor 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 floor.

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 floor to reach the next floor.

Mushroom Floors

A mushroom floor.

In the Volcano Dungeon, mushroom floors are filled with Magma Caps and False Magma Caps, which will come to life and attack the player when they are close by. There are also mushroom husks that can be cut through like grass.

Islands

Some floors have islands surrounded by lava. Occasionally pressure pads, treasure chests, or useful mining nodes will spawn on the islands. To reach them, use the watering can to pour water on the lava and create a bridge. Fishing inside the dungeon is not possible.

Treasure

There are two types of treasure chests that can spawn randomly, common and rare. The chance for a chest to be rare is significantly higher on the 9th floor and is also affected by Luck.

Common Chests

Shop

Dwarf Shop

On floor 5 of the dungeon, there is a dwarf that runs a small shop and a pool where the Player can refill their Watering Can. Three crates are always present on this floor. Monsters cannot spawn here, but a Dwarvish Sentry can still spawn when a crate is broken.

It is not possible to trade with the dwarf without having the Dwarvish Translation Guide.

In addition to the standard stock, the shop also offers one of two Food items every day.
