Adamant Grotto

Exit/Warp Exit and Warp function properly on this map
There's no real reason to come here before you find the Rat Tail in the Cave of Summons. You can trade it for Adamant, which can in turn be given to Kokkol in the Underworld to forge the Excalibur.

If you are fortunate enough to find a Pink Tail, you can return here again for a suit of Adamant Armor, by far the best Armor in the game. The level of ridiculous this Armor represents has to be seen to be believed.
