The dungeons difficulty will be determined by your total level. It is a mixture of Barri Basic, Fiodh Intermediate and Fiodh Advanced, and Coill Normal depending on difficulty, and is 1 floor long. You may bring a party of three. This dungeon is mostly made up of Orb Rooms The boss is dependent on difficulty. Level 1~999: Boss: Giant Ice Sprite + Lightning Sprite × 2 Level 1000+: Boss: Giant Ice Sprite + Giant Fire Sprite × 2 Unlike the Giant Ice Sprite found in Coill Elemental, this one is much larger and far more dangerous, possessing a powerful Ice Spear that can obliterate you in one hit. It also has the Chain Casting ability. The Giant Ice Sprite should drop the Empty Jewelry Pouch. Warning: If you are leading a party, be sure that you are the one to deal the finishing blow to the Giant Ice Sprite (via party rule or dealing the most damage), or else the Pouch will be set to be picked up by the partymate who killed it. The Empty Jewelry Pouch is not tradeable. Take the Empty Jewelry Pouch back to the Rich person. You will then receive a Courcle Taming Cane and 11 Cyclops Bait.

The Boss is Father Cyclops, Mother Cyclops, Young Cyclops, and Kid Cyclops. You must use Taming Wild Animals on the Kid Cyclops (the smallest, yellow Cyclops of the group). The Kid Cyclops has incredibly low CP, so Taming at Rank F should not be too difficult. It is not necessary to defeat the other three enemies, as the door will open as soon as you tame the Kid Cyclops. There are no rewards for this dungeon. Upon leaving the dungeon, the Kid Cyclops will disappear; a message states "The Rich Man has taken the Kid Cyclops". Talk to the Rich person. Talk to Gordon.
