The Dark World Entrance

Your guide to the Cave to Another World, Dragon Quest VII's first bonus dungeon. Learn how to access it, its layouts, treasures, and monsters.

Alright, so you've beaten the main story of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined and you're ready for some post-game fun! The first bonus dungeon you'll want to tackle is the Cave to Another World. It's a pretty neat place, made up of sections from dungeons you've already explored, but with new challenges and rewards. ### How to Get In To even get into this place, you'll need to collect a few special fragments. You get these from: * Defeating [Gracos V] * A pair of ghosts you'll find in the [Coral Cave] back in the past. * King Maximo, but you'll need to have collected a whopping 100 [mini medals] (or 85 in the 3DS version). * Checking the well in the castle town of [Estard] during the epilogue. Heads up: In the PSX version, you'll need to stash that last fragment in a treasure chest near the cliff by Dermot the Hermit's house. For the 3DS version, it should just appear in your inventory if you saved after the ending. ### Layouts The cool thing about the Cave to Another World is that it uses layouts from dungeons you've already been through. The order is a bit different depending on which version of the game you're playing: Sony PlayStation Version: * Mount Gora 8F * [Shrine of Mysteries] B1 * Mountain Pass 2F * The Tallest Tower 5F * Dermot's House in [Estard] * Outside of Dermot's House in [Estard] * Den of the Dwarves 1F * [Regenstein] Secret Base 2 B3F * Burnmont 2F (Path to the [Fire Spirit]) * Pillar of Sulkk 4F * [Coral Cave] B2F * Inside the Time Frame 1F * [Shrine of Mysteries]: Rainbow Cove 1F Room 2 * Falls Hollow Entrance * Mountain Pass Near [Wilted Heart] * Grody Grotto Basement 4F * Precipice Pass * [Shrine of Mysteries] B4F * Boss chamber Nintendo 3DS Version: * Mount Gora 8F * Original room * Mountain Pass 2F * The Tallest Tower 5F * Dermot's House in [Estard] * Outside of Dermot's House in [Estard] * Den of the Dwarves 1F * [Regenstein] Secret Base 2 B3F * Burnmont 2F (Path to the [Fire Spirit]) * Pillar of Sulkk 4F * [Coral Cave] B2F * Inside the Time Frame 1F * Grody Grotto Basement 4F * Falls Hollow Entrance * Falls Hollow Waterfall * Grotta del Sigillo 1F (Dead end) * Mount Gora 2nd Tunnel * Precipice Pass * Burnmont 5F (Path to the [Fire Spirit]) * Boss chamber ### Treasures Keep an eye out for these goodies: * [Recovery ring] * [Mad cap] * [Mini medal] (3) * [Sage's stone] * [Slime gooniform] * [Seed of strength] (2) ### Monsters This dungeon has a lot of tough enemies, so be prepared!
