It can be unlocked as a prize by the Lord of the Dragovians after completing one of the Dragovian Trials. It can be reached by visiting the special chamber located behind Marta's Cottage.

Story

The dungeon contains 15 chambers spread between four hallways, each with a boss encounter that the party has fought before, but this time they are much more powerful and require the party to be at the highest levels and equipped with the strongest equipment. At the end of each hallway, there are tablets which restore the party's HP and MP completely. There are also shortcut hallways that are unlocked after the 6th and 14th bosses are defeated. This eventually culminates in a chamber containing the Final Boss, the ultimate evil.

Treasures

After defeating most of the bosses, the party will be rewarded to a room containing treasure chests, two regular and one purple. Purple chests contain a random attribute-boosting seed and get replenished each day.
