Pure Land - Secret Cave?
So there is this cave in the pure land that you cant enter...what is it with that cave?
I think its on the third loading screen when you start.
Here is a picture:

My guess is it is the cave where you go if you take the right route but they kept the routes split.

Nah, you can't get there. Same as the door in the rebel house.
Fritou Feb 28, 2018 @ 4:25pm 
what's the point of this entrance ?
Anna_Maniac Feb 28, 2018 @ 8:00pm 
It's there to taunt you.
Chibi Life Feb 28, 2018 @ 9:47pm 
It's there to troll you.

You can reach it on the snes game with the action replay code 7ECF0101 to pass through walls but you can't enter it : just a graphic illusion, not a real entrance ! ^^

Just like AliceEngine said : « Same as the door in the rebel house. »

However, there was a secret room on the Snes version and you can reach it thanks to the code. In the Underground City before the Mana Palace, just go to the room with the puzzle buttons switch colors red, blue, yellow and green. The secret room is just West from that room and you can reach it by going through the wall with the code. There is a Glove's Orb and a Sword's Orb in the chests here !

No such secrets for now with the remake until we could pass through wall to see if the room is still here. Just a secret room to discover on the Snes version for now . ^^

Here is a screenshoot of it :

You say swords orb right.... must have been the one they intended until they coded the mana magic to make the final level 9 temporary sword (By the way I am unsure why anyone would do any of the glitches to get the level 9 sword (mana Sword) orb tricks because the swords fades after 10 minutes depending on what level Dryad's magic is with both characters. It's not permanent and it will turn your sword back to the rusty sword... which is permanent unless you repeat the glitches until you have the dragon buster again.)

Well, in fact, the numbers of orb you get for the sword BEFORE the Mana Tree is not important because the Mana Tree will give you a 8 sword level orb before her destruction. If you are level 6 (1 orb miss), you will get +2. If you are level7, you will get +1. If you are level 8 (secret room with code), you will get nothing !

For sure, I tried to save a chest with a sword orb (by not taking the one in the treasure room of Pandore) because I said to me : "if I am level 8 thanks to the Mana Tree in any case, then let's save the chest at Pandore and take it after that. But after the Mana Tree, the chest in Pandore disapears ...

This chest in the secret room is indeed the lost sword orb but the developers made a limit to 8 anyway ... (The Mana Tree will not level up your sword to +1 if you got it in the secret room and after the encounter with the tree, the chests with sword orbs do not exist anymore ... (for the Pandora one, it is sure. For the one in the Northtown Ruins, I don't remember if I tryed ).

What can be said about the last orb for the Mana sword is that the developpers wanted that the magic of Dryad makes the 9th orb. Since the Mana Sword is very powerfull, the effect was not destined to last at level 9 like it did for other weapon because the power of the Mana Sword can destroy the whole world. Well, it is a scenaristic explanation.

And yes, that has never been clear for the player with bugs and lot of strange things, such as what is happening when you reach the Mana Tree !

Edit : I remember other games when a too powerfull weapon makes bugs. In Wonder Boy in Monster World, if you get the armet or the flyings boots or the gauntlet when you have max equipments, it will level down everything to the worst equipments) !

In Secret of Evermore, the magic of Atlas also makes bugs when you use it too often ! :-)

That entrance and the door in the rebel house, might've been cut content from the disc version they wanted to release.

I dont know about the door in the rebel house, but the cave entrance was also there on the original SNES game, and there you cant enter it either.

Can't - Most of the cut content and ideas were turned into Chrono Trigger.
