Overview

At the north end of Ginger Island there is a volcano with a cave in it. Entering the cave puts the player outside of the Volcano Dungeon. The entryway has a pool of water and 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 north side of the entryway is blocked by a river of lava with a Lava Lurk in it that will shoot 4 fireballs at a time at the player.

The lava river can be crossed by pouring water on it with a watering can. 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 Walnuts.

Once across the lava river, the player can proceed north through the doorway to enter the first level of the dungeon.

Exiting

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.

At a certain point a parrot will appear on the 5th level and can create an exit for 5 Golden Walnuts. This exit takes the player to the east side of the volcano, next to the Parrot Express.

Monsters

The volcano dungeon holds a unique set of monsters, the most powerful and dangerous in the game.

Special Floors

The Forge

Level 10 of the dungeon contains a forge. Players can pay Cinder Shards 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.

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.

Mushroom Floors

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 the buttons, treasure chests, or useful mining nodes will spawn on the islands. To reach them, the player simply uses their watering can to pour water on the lava and create a bridge the same way they did to gain access to the dungeon.

Shop

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.

In addition to the standard stock, the shop also offers a rotating meal for data-sort-value="1200">1,200g and the Pink Bow on Weekends.
