The cave lives up to its name of "Lost Cave", being similar to the Lost Woods featured in the Legend of Zelda series in that an incorrect turn brings the player back to the beginning. The rocks in each room hint at which direction the player needs to go, however, with the number of rocks indicating the clock position of the correct pathway to Selphy (3 = east, 6 = south, 9 = west and 12 = north). Deviations from this pathway will in most cases lead the player back to the room with the ladder and Lawson, however going the opposite (counterclockwise) direction from the prescribed path will lead to an item.
