Tips

• Find the three pillar rooms before passing through 30 rooms; the room after the third pillar is the final chamber.
• The item in the final chamber depends on speed: a Reaper Cloth for the quickest possible run, a Rare Bone for a fairly quick one, and Stardust otherwise.
• That item comes back every time you return from Sendoff Spring, so you can farm it.
• Ghost types fill the cave: Gastly, Haunter, Duskull and Dusclops, with Dusclops more common at night.
• Bronzong (20%) and Chimecho (10%) appear in the third pillar section, the deepest part of the cave.
• Giratina is level 47; if you knock it out, it returns after your next Hall of Fame entry.
