The Limestone Cave is a natural cavern at the northern end of the mountain range that splits Serdio in two. Ordinarily, it facilitates travel between Seles and Bale by way the Prairie, but its recent occupation by a poisonous monster has dissuaded travel. It was already a dangerous route to begin with. A stream runs through it, and passage in some areas is only possible via stepping stones to cross the water. Nevertheless, it houses a variety of spectacular features including waterfalls, vacuous crags, and glowing stone. Despite being a subterranean passageway, overhead breaches allow sunlight to enter, and some of the minerals inside the cave seem to glow.

Story

Dart, Shana, and Lavitz arrive at the Limestone Cave from the Prairie. They enter via a mouth in a bluff created by an estuary. Their going is mostly easy until the trio comes upon a series of stepping stones. With no other way to cross the water, Dart urges Shana to be cautious, and they proceed. Just before they have all crossed safely, Lavitz slips on the penultimate stone. He would have tumbled off the stone and over a waterfall if not for Dart reacting quickly and catching him. Dart is able to pull Lavitz out of danger, and together they return safely to solid ground, exasperated and relieved.

Lavitz thanks Dart for saving his life for the second time since Hellena Prison. Dart stoically dismisses Lavitz's gratitude. They rejoice in a moment of camaraderie involving much shoulder-patting with Lavitz declaring that the pair will share a long friendship. Having observed the sudden blossoming in their relationship, Shana feels left out of the celebration as Dart and Lavitz proceed leaning on each other's shoulders.

Deeper in the cave, while traversing a vacuous chamber, the group finds a swarm of glowing organisms. Dart immediately identifies them as Rock Fireflies. Dart remarks that they have saved him often, and Lavitz agrees, expressing a special appreciation for the ones found near a battlefield. Ignorant and again feeling left out, Shana demands to know what they are. Dart gives her a practical demonstration while Lavitz explains that their light has the ability to heal. Dart teases that Shana at least learned something. Indignant, Shana states that she also knows something that Dart does not but refuses to specify. Lavitz opines that after five years of separation, it is expected that there will be things they do not know about each other. He goes on to reminisce in the familiarity he shares with his mother every time he goes home to visit.

As the group approaches the other side, they arrive in another vacuous chamber containing an underground lake. While traversing it, they are set upon by the "guardian" of the Limestone Cave, a large, serpent-like beast known as the Urobolus. They defeat the creature with Dart delivering the final blow to its head. It screeches in agony and collapses. Although Dart and Lavitz proceed, Shana straggles behind, leaving her open to another attack from the Urobolus, which is still alive after all.

Dart rushes to Shana's defense but hesitates when a bright glow emanates in front of Shana. Beams of light overtake the Urobolus, causing it to reel and disintegrate. The light fades away, leaving Dart stunned and Shana distraught. She momentarily collapses, unable to explain what just happened. As they question what they just saw, Lavitz recommends just pressing on to Bale. At last they emerge from the cave on the other side.

Trivia

1. The Bandana gear acquired seems useless, as Dart already has a Bandana and Lavitz comes with a headgear that surpasses it. While wholly unnecessary, it is worth noting that the player can equip this new Bandana on Lavitz in order to give the Sallet to Dart. This technique is marginally more useful as the game progresses, in times when spare gear is low but you wish to move a piece of equipment from one character to another.
