How to unlock the Mines

Reach Stone Town Rank, then complete the active Unlocking the Mines quest. Reaching the entrance in The Narrows is not enough by itself. If the doors remain closed, check your town rank and quest log before looking for a missing tool or hidden switch.

Official v0.13 notes group Floor 80 into the Lava Caves milestone. Ordinary randomized Lava Caves floors are 61–79; Floor 80 is the checkpoint. Ancient Ruins ordinary floors are dark, while Mistril, certain enemies, related equipment, and later Sacred Light can provide visibility.

Progression route and elevator checkpoints

The elevator records every fifth floor reached. On ordinary floors, break rocks and defeat monsters until a ladder appears. Returning to the Ground Floor and re-entering resets those floors. Elevator stops are not all seals: the major objectives are on Floors 20, 40, 60, 80, 90, and 100.

Floor 60: get the Sealing Scroll first

Floor 60 is a two-task checkpoint. Progress The Fire Tablet, then complete Procuring the Sealing Scroll through Balor. Submit Ruby ×10, Sapphire ×10, Emerald ×10, and Silver Ingot ×10, then talk to Balor again to receive the scroll.

Offer it with Faceted Rock Gem, Rockroot, and Emerald at the Fire Seal. This also opens the route tied to the Caldarus guide.

Show Floor 80 Void Mass and Ruins Seal steps

Floor 80: two separate objectives

First create the Void Mass with Void Stone ×5, Void Powder ×5, Void Herb ×5, and Void Pearl ×5. Then break the Ruins Seal with Breath of Flame, Smoke Moth, Firesail Fish, and Obsidian, one of each. The Void materials are not the four direct seal offerings.

Floor 90: how to find the Magic Key

  1. Explore the Priestess Quarters task rooms.
  2. Use Dragon’s Breath to light the Dragon Forge.
  3. Complete the Library and Priestess Tablet objectives.
  4. Offer one Temple Flower and one Marigold.
  5. Plant the Seed of Balance in the Field Room.
  6. Water it until it matures, or use Growth to speed it up.
  7. Harvest the Magic Key and open the locked door.

The available sources disagree on a fixed growth time, so this guide does not promise an exact number of days.

Show Floor 100 story and crafting steps

Floor 100: Dragonsworn Tablet and Final Seal

Inspect the Tablet, reach 8 Hearts with both Juniper and Eiland, and view both 8-heart events. Talk to Juniper, continue the quest, then return to read the Dragonsworn Tablet. The Juniper guide covers her relationship route.

After the quest, craft all four offerings at the Dragon Forge. Every recipe also requires Medium Essence Stone ×1.

Common Mines progression problems

  • The Mines are locked: Reach Stone Town Rank and complete Unlocking the Mines.
  • No ladder appeared: Keep breaking rocks and defeating monsters. Returning to the Ground Floor and re-entering resets ordinary floors.
  • Stuck on Floor 20 or 40: Verify all four biome-specific offerings; similar-looking items do not substitute.
  • Stuck on Floor 60: Finish the Sealing Scroll subquest and talk to Balor after depositing its materials.
  • Void items are not appearing: Follow the active Floor 80 quest chain instead of an old pre-v0.15 endpoint.
  • The Floor 90 Forge does nothing: Confirm Find The Magic Key is active and use Dragon's Breath.
  • The Seed of Balance seems missing: Update past the early v0.15 issue addressed by v0.15.2 and v0.15.3.
  • The Floor 100 quest will not continue: Check that Juniper and Eiland are both at 8 Hearts and both 8-heart events were viewed.
  • The Final Seal is ready: Complete important daily tasks first because the completion cutscene ends the day.

What changed in the Mines?

  • v0.13: Lava Caves and the Fire Seal route were added.
  • v0.15: Ruins progression was added and the complete Mines Questline became finishable.
  • v1.0.x: Treasure drops, special-room frequency, ladder UI, and several Mines crashes received updates. The official notes reviewed for this page do not add a sixth biome.
