Previously, the party acquired the Glasdar Key from the cave north of Glasdar Tower. Very important! Now, they are ready to make their way through the cave to Glasdar Tower. This is the game's final cave dungeon. It's not as bad as the Road to Rhone, but it can be a bit confusing. Watch out for Glooms' Succumb spell, which attempts to destroy the entire party. Also be careful of Dragons, which love to blast the party with Sunder.

The entrance to the cave to Glasdar Tower is west of Arubus (time 0:22). They arrive on level B1 of the cave.

Soon after they enter, Lufia reaches Level 45 (time 1:43).

After going down one ladder, the party can find a chest that contains an Ex Bomb (time 2:06).

There is a room to the southwest (time 2:14). The prominently placed chest within contains a Black Ring.

Back in the main hall, a chest east of the plateaus contains an Ex Arrows (time 3:43).

In the toxic marsh, there is a hidden Power Potion (time 4:40).

The southeast room contains MP and HP restoration tiles (time 6:01). You may well need to visit this room a few times.

Then, the party goes through the eastern door (time 6:55). The stairs within lead to the grand chamber on the first floor. This chamber is simply huge, and attempting to navigate it without a map can be frustrating. Worse, behind this chamber is a warren of connecting passageways.

Up the first ladder, the party can go northwest to find a chest with a Stone Cure (time 7:39).

After climbing the ladder above the first ladder, the party goes through a door (time 8:22).

Jerin reaches Level 41 (time 9:01).

A couple of rooms back, the party goes through the prominent doorway (time 9:26). The chest in the room beyond contains a Hi Magic.

Up the western ladder in the previous room, the party goes through the northwest door (time 9:47). The chest in the passageway beyond contains a pair of Sonic Heels.

The southwest door leads to a western plateau about a third of the way up in the main chamber (time 10:07). Right on the edge, there is a chest containing a Smoke Ball.

The party goes through the nearby doorway to the west (time 10:14). The chest in the room beyond contains a Hi Potion.

Back out in the main chamber, the party descends a couple of ladders. On the low southwest ledge, a chest contains an Antidote (time 10:40).

Then, the party climbs the first two central ladders to the middle ledge. To the northeast, a chest contains a Miracle (time 12:28).

Down the nearby ladder, the chest to the southeast contains a Gloom Arrow (time 12:34).

Aguro reaches Level 44 (time 13:06).

The party then goes through the door near the chest that had the Miracle (time 13:27). The chest in the room beyond contains a Great Potion.

To the west, the party climbs a ladder and finds a chest containing a Mind Gourd (time 14:49).

The party climbs another ladder farther to the west. In the southwest of that ledge, a chest contains a Dragon Arrow (time 15:39).

Max reaches Level 47 and learns Valor (time 16:16). Valor completely restores HP to the entire party, like Omniheal or HealUsAll in the Dragon Quest games.

Up the ladder just above the previous ladder, the party takes the doorway (time 16:35). In the back room beyond, the two chests across the bridge contain an Ex Potion and a Big Arrow (time 17:18).

The party makes their way back out to the western plateau in the main chamber (time 18:19).

Up the next ladder to the west, there is a chest containing an Ex Bomb (time 18:27).

They then head east and go up the easternmost ladder. Up the central ladder, they find a doorway to a V-shaped room (time 19:39).

In the toxic marsh to the west, there is a hidden Miracle next to the northwestern column (time 19:47). Nearby, the northwestern chest contains another Miracle. The northeastern chest contains a third Miracle (time 21:21).

After the party leaves the room, Lufia reaches Level 46 (time 21:52).

After descending the nearby ladder, the party finds a chest to the east (time 22:16). This chest contains an Ex Arrows.

This is all the treasures in this cave. The party descends the convenient central ladders and then goes down to B1 (time 24:23). They recover their stats in the room with MP and HP restoration tiles. Now would actually be a good time to leave the cave and return to town to save if you're playing on a real SNES. Since I'm playing on an emulator, I will press on.
