Fiery Path Emerald · Dungeon
Fiery Path is a hot cave cutting through Mt. Chimney's slopes on Route 112. Early in Emerald, Team Magma block the cable car and you lack the Go-Goggles for the desert, so you go through Fiery Path to reach northern Route 111 and the road to Fallarbor Town. Two items are hidden behind Strength boulders.
