An isolated passage at the top of the Inferno Cavern connects a tunnel on the Surface to a portion of the Tower of Ruin where the player must complete some tasks vital to finishing the game. However, the door leading into the Tower is marked with a number 7; the player must defeat Baphomet in the Twin Labyrinths to open it.
The Inferno Cavern. Named so because it's full of inferno.
As the name suggests, the Inferno Cavern bears a strong volcanic motif, with several pools of lava dotting the area. Falling into the lava will rapidly drain the player's health; on top of that, lava is more difficult to swim in than water, and without the Heatproof Case, the player will be unable to use his or her MSX to teleport out. The lava, however, can be rendered harmless by obtaining the Ice Cape from the Temple of Moonlight.
