+The '''Quagmire Cave<ref>Name given when [[Storeyteller]] is used in the [[Cell phone]] version of {{DQ3}}.</ref>'''  is an undersea tunnel which connects the north and south sections of eastern [[Alefgard]].
+The dungeon has one entrance on each island, as well as both sides being surrounded by poisonous swamps.  It is one of only a few places which is accessible in every game in the [[Erdrick trilogy]].
-The '''Swamp Cave''' connects the main part of [[Alefgard]] to the islands of the southeast which includes the town of [[Rimuldar]]. [[Princess Gwaelin]] can be found in this cave but is protected by a [[Green Dragon]].
+==Appearances==
+==={{DQ}}===
+Quagmire Cave must be crossed in order to reach the southeastern continent.  The cave also contains the kidnapped [[Princess Gwaelin]] who is guarded by a single [[Green dragon]] until The {{Hero 1}} saves her.
+==={{DQ2}}===
+Quagmire Cave serves no real purpose in the game due to the fact that by the time The {{Hero 2}}'s {{Party 2}} can access it, [[Luminaries|they]] already have a [[ship]] which eliminates the need to enter the cave.
-== See Also ==
+Additionally, the cave has been downsized to a simple straight corridor with no treasure inside.

+==={{DQ1HD}}===
+The cave is first mentioned on the bridge to [[Kol]] by a dying [[Tantegel]] guardsman, who tells the {{Hero 1}} that he was of the regiment dispatched to search for [[Princess Gwaelin]] and witnessed a group of monsters dragging her into the swamp. The Hero passes this info along to the [[Captain (Dragon Quest)|Captain of the royal guard]] and [[Gwaelin's Guard|his daughter]] as they arrive on the scene, with the two continuing into Quagmire Cave as the Hero attends business in the [[Shrine of Rain]] to the north.
+Shortly after entering the cave later on, the Captain will confirm the Princess' imprisonment before succumbing to his illness made worse by the fetid air of the cave. His daughter escorts him through the cave to [[Rimuldar]], where he is rendered bedridden and curing him becomes a lengthy segment of the game's story. The layout of the game itself remains unchanged from ''[[Dragon Quest I & II]]'' for the Super Famicom, aside from the addition of a basement level that requires the [[magic key]] created by the [[Warlock of Doorlocks]] in Rimuldar to enter; this basement loops back up to the first floor near where the green dragon's lair was in past versions, preventing players from being able to sequence-break.
+The entrance to the chamber where the princess is held is shrouded by a purple mist, and upon entering the Hero sees a distorted replica of the Princess' bedroom in Castle Tantegel. The Princess curtsies and greets her rescuer, but then begins to fervently press him for information regarding how he came to know she was imprisoned in the cave. Before he can answer, the disembodied voice of the real Princess Gwaelin prays to Rubiss to dispel the facade. The prim and lavish furnishings set up for Princess Gwaelin's benefit are revealed to be mere illusions created by a vaporous monster known as the [[Mirage]]. The merciless fog has been torturing the Princess with visions of her [[King Lorik|father]] and late mother burning to death in order to break her spirit and reveal what she knows of Almighty [[Rubiss]]. Her phantasmagoria is so great that she assumes the Hero is part of the illusion as well and the gargantuan [[green dragon]] tasked to guard the princess lunges at the Hero. Once the serpent is slain, the Princess realizes her Hero is the real deal and falls head over heels for him on the spot as he carries her out of the cave.
+Later on, the player will need the [[moonbeam dew]] from the cave in order for the [[Craft-Master]] to create the [[moon sigil]] in the [[Faerie Village]].

+Quagmire Cave is totally optional, but it does contain some excellent treasures for the portion of the game it is first accessible. In addition, the swamp cavern is part of the [[Firstborn Protector]] of [[Cantlin]] sidequest.

+Quagmire Cave is not fully completed during the time period of the game.  Inside the north entrance, The {{Hero 3}}'s and {{Party 3}} can visit several workers who are busy completing its excavation.
+====Nearby {{MFamilies}}s====
+*[[Chimaera]]
+*[[Flying flayer]]
+*[[Ghoul]]
+*[[Muddy hand]]
+*[[Stone guardian]] (Called by [[muddy hand]])
+*[[Ursa mega]]
+==={{DQ3HD}}===
+The tunnel is now home to a scant few treasures and there is a [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|disguised crone ranger]] creeping on the workers, but the dungeon's features remains the same otherwise.
+The real point of interest it that the lost [[Robbin' 'oodlum|henchmen]] of [[Robbin' 'Ood]] have taken up work in the tunnel after falling into the underworld. One of them will tip the player off to the whereabouts of the fabled [[zenithium]] metal, which can upgrade [[Ortega's Helm]] into the [[Auroral Helm]]; if the player follows the goon's clues, the metal will be found in the depths of [[Gaia's Navel]] and require a [[wrecking ball]] to dislodged.

+The [[Hero (Dragon Quest Tact)|Master]] and [[Majellan]] pay a visit to the cave in Chapter 2, Episode 5 of the game's limited {{Dragon Quest}} event quests hoping to find the lost [[Mindini]] there. Despite having had her kidnapped, the Green dragon tries to drive her away when it becomes annoyed with her. A battle ensues with the dragon and it joins the party afterwards, having grown tired of its position as a guard.
+==Trivia==
+*The dialogue the fake Princess Gwaelin says in the HD version is what she says in past iterations of the game, prior to pressing the Hero for info
