Cave of Mysidia

The Cave of Mysidia, also known as Mysidia Cave, is a location in Final Fantasy II. It lies to the southeast of Mysidia, on the other side of a nearly circular mountain range. The only method of accessing the cave is via a small gap in the northeast section of the range's circumference.

The entrance to the depths of the Cave of Mysidia is blocked by a dark Doppelganger which will mimic the adventurer's every move and halt his way. To destroy it, one must offer the White Mask to the goddess statue below Mysidia, which will paralyze the Doppelganger, and then the Black Mask should be placed on the copy, which will destroy it.

On the NES version, the battle background for the Treasure Room is oddly the forest background.

Story[]

The party places the White Mask on the face of the goddess statue beneath Mysidia to render the Doppelganger immobile. Firion and his allies venture into the cave after learning that the Crystal Rod lies within its depths. The Rod is needed to enter the Tower of Mysidia. After the party places the Black Mask on the Doppelganger, it vanishes, allowing them to venture deeper in the cave where they obtain the Crystal Rod and sail to the foreboding tower, where Leviathan sleeps.
