Murky Cave (Japanese: やみの　どうくつ, Dark Cave) is a post-credits dungeon in / Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team. It is the second of two dungeons in the Gengar side plot.

It is unlocked after escorting Gengar up to Mt. Freeze to speak with Ninetales. However, to complete the Gengar arc, the player MUST play as the starter Pokémon.

Plot

After escorting Gengar to Mt. Freeze and encountering Ninetales, who tells them to head to Murky Cave in order to lift the curse from Gardevoir and gives them the (crest) Gengar will state for the player to help escort them to Murky Cave during the next day.

When the next day arrives, Gengar is seen at the front of the player's house and will only join the player if their leading Pokémon is the one they picked start as (as otherwise, the partner or any recruited Pokémon will not result in him tagging along). The player then has time to get ready, and once ready Gengar will tell the Hero to wait for him.

The two then reach the entrance of Murky Cave and enter. Once on floor 20, they place the item Ninetales had given them in the hole and a voice will ask them for a purpose. Gengar will then tell them to get Gardevoir back, but the voice will not let them. The voice then asks the player to step forward and ask them a series of questions. Regardless of how the player answers the questions, the voice will reject Gengar's offer to lift the curse. Gengar, then out of desperation, steps up and reveals his eventual guilt for abandoning Gardevoir. This prompts the spirit to then release Gardevoir, seeing now that Gengar has had a change of heart. Gengar, however, does not revert back to his human form and Gardevoir, as an exchange, has amnesia. Gengar, however, does not care whether Gardevoir has memory loss; he is just happy that she is safe.

The scene then cuts to Gardevoir in front of the Team Base, thanking he two who she seemingly has never met (as a result of her amnesia). Gengar gives the player a Mobile Scarf as thanks and prepares to leave. Gardevoir then asks for Gengar's name, and Gengar happily answers, starting fresh.

Gengar is no longer seen after this point, and it is unknown what has happened to Team Meanies beyond this point. However, Gardevoir can be found in Pokémon Square shortly after and will ask the player to accept her into their team.

Dungeon information

The dungeon consists of 20 floors, however, the last floor possesses no boss. Also, no food items will spawn under normal circumstances. Monster Houses have a chance to appear, although Kecleon Shops and weather conditions seemingly do not.

Part of this page's history has been imported from the PMD Rescue Team Wiki. On September 11, 2019, the Gamepedia Shiren the Wanderer Wiki became the Gamepedia Mystery Dungeon Wiki. As part of the unification project between Fandom and Gamepedia, we absorbed the Rescue Team Wiki and its page histories. Some pages were originally deemed unworthy of being imported and were left behind. We've since imported them with the intent to preserve the edits and history of this community and its contributions, as well as to build upon them. In some cases, these pages have been created again by editors of the MDFW, and the Rescue Team page histories were imported into them at a later date.
