Volcanic Cavern Guide: Pals, Bosses, and Loot

Volcanic Cavern is Mount Obsidian's lava-lit dungeon, tuned for level 32–36 with a level 36–38 boss chamber. Bring a Water Pal and the whole place melts — nearly everything inside is Fire — and leave with Hyper Spheres, a gun schematic, and possibly one of the best fire mounts in the game. All ten caverns are on the List of All Dungeons.

The Boss Pool: Mount Hunting Grounds

One of these 18 leads the boss room each run — and this pool is stacked with rideable fire Pals. Ragnahawk is a flying mount that carries you through the entire volcano region, Pyrin and Pyrin Noct are fast ground rides, and Reptyro is a mining-and-kindling workhorse. Catch, don't kill.

Corridor Pals and What They Drop Into

The regular halls run level 32–36 and skew Fire-Dark, which makes this a natural Flame Organ farming loop — see the Pal organ farming guide for where these drops go. Ghangler and Gloopie lurk in the water pockets, oddly enough.

Chest Loot Worth the Heat

Old Revolver Schematic 1	A free sidearm upgrade straight from a chest
Hyper Sphere	Above-tier captures at this level
Giga Sphere	Your workhorse sphere for the volcano
Silver Key	Opens the locked chests deeper in
Coarse Ammo	Feeds early firearms
Training Manual (L)	Big bench EXP
Medium Pal Soul	Statue upgrades for your team
Rushoar Bacon 'n' Eggs	Hearty cooked food drop
Medical Supplies	Mid-run healing
Gold Coin	Always welcome
