Sealed Cave (Final Fantasy IV)

The gates here are their own keepers.

Rosa

The Sealed Cave, also known as Sealed Cavern, is a location in Final Fantasy IV and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years situated in the Underworld, and the location of the last Dark Crystal.

The cave's gate is sealed, and only a necklace held by Luca, the princess of the dwarves, can open it. The cave's passages are bewitched to reveal Trap Doors whenever an intruder attempts to open a door and a wall attempts to trap intruders who have retrieved the Crystal.

The SNES and PS versions of Final Fantasy IV contain a Sealed Cave glitch that allows the player to skip the cave completely.
