Sealed Cave

FINAL FANTASY IV guide · Party retrieves the Dark Crystal
← All areas in this guide

Cecil and his party use Luca's Necklace to unseal this subterranean cave in the Underworld to retrieve the final Dark Crystal before Golbez. The dungeon is packed with TrapDoors that ambuscade the party, winding descents, and tough monster encounters. Upon securing the crystal and attempting to exit, the party confronts the Demon Wall boss, followed by a dramatic story betrayal at the entrance.

Enemies

TrapDoor

Disguised as normal dungeon doors; casts Search to target a character before using the instant-death attack Disrupt (Ninth Dimension).

Chimera
Weak to Ice

Dangerous random encounter that can hit the whole team with Blaze.

Yellow Dragon

Rare enemy that can counter attacks with powerful lightning magic.

Demon Wall

The dungeon boss fought on floor B5; slowly advances toward the party and uses Crush for instant-kill hits if not defeated quickly.

Tips

  • Cast Berserk or Slow on the TrapDoors immediately to prevent them from using their one-hit kill Disrupt attack.
  • During the Demon Wall battle, cast Slow on the boss and use Haste on your physical damage dealers to burn it down before it reaches the party.
  • Defeat every TrapDoor you encounter, as they grant high experience points and often guard rooms with valuable treasure.
  • Equip Cecil and your physical attackers with non-elemental weapons against Demon Wall, as it has high magic defense and no elemental weaknesses.
