Exits

1. Exit to Stalwart Village.
2. Tunnel between the Stalwart Mines and the Luminescent Caves. The tunnel is a maze of sorts. To reach the Luminescent Caves, you should follow the breeze: right, right, light Torch, forward, left, right. If you have a Hammer and Chisel (#5) but not a Torch, then you can use this path instead: left, right, use Hammer and Chisel, left. There is also a treasure in the cave, hinted at by the Miner’s Note (#5): right, right, light Torch, forward, right. If you loot the treasure then you’ll receive the Comtessa’s Gage and 300 cp.
