Tips

  • Most exits send you back to the first room, so try the doors one at a time and remember which ones loop.
  • Selphy is in Room 10 and fights you with two Persian before asking you to take her home; the Silk Scarf is in the same room.
  • The item rooms are Lax Incense, Sea Incense, Max Revive and Rare Candy in Rooms 11 to 14, so explore them for the best loot.
  • Haunter and Gastly are the main encounters, with Zubat and Golbat as filler; Murkrow shows up in FireRed and Misdreavus in LeafGreen.
  • Normal and Fighting moves do nothing to Ghost types, so bring Psychic, Ghost or Dark attacks and a few Full Heals.
