Something big lurks at the end of this cave (after beating the game).

It’s assumed you’ll first enter Terminus Cave by the entrance near the Black Belt. Walk down into the ditch and grab the Dragon Scale . Once you have it, head to the north part of the area and use your Dowsing Machine to find the Normal Gem . Once that’s done, head back outside to Route 18 - Vallee Etroite Way and back up the stairs.

You’ll see tracks to your east. Step onto them and head south down them. When you see tracks leading off east heading into a cave, follow them inside. Here you’ll find TM31 - Brick Break . Pick it up and head back outside. Take the tracks back west and north into the entrance to the cave there. Once inside, begin following the path north-east.

Star Pieces are purely shop-selling fodder so sell ’em quick at 4900 Pokédollars a pop.

You’ll reach some stairs leading down. Take them and head south in the next area. When you come to a point where the path splits heading east and west, take the eastern one first. Break the rock with Rock Smash when you need to then follow the path over the thin bridge. At the other side you’ll find a Star Piece .

Now head back to where the paths split and take the western path this time. Head under the bridge and over the ledges. Just after the ledges use your Dowsing Machine to find a Dusk Ball hidden in a rock. Now keep following the path around to the bridge you just walked under.

Use your Dowsing Machine to find the nearby Hyper Potion then cross the bridge. Just after it you’ll bump into a worker who wants nothing other than a Pokemon match. Charming.

Just past it you’ll find a Heal Rock . Once you have it head back to where you skipped the path leading east. This time take that path.

Head on over the bridge. Partway across you’ll bump into a Hiker; cue another battle.

When you see the breakable rock ahead, use Rock Smash on it. Head to the end of the little path and you’ll be able to find a hidden Moon Stone . Now head back south until you see the path leading downstairs to your east. Head down it. Follow this path around and you’ll run into a Battle Girl.

Take the one leading down to the west. In this area, head north around to the TM, using Rock Smash to get there. Once you get there grab the TM. It’s TM30 - Shadow Ball . Now use the Dowsing Machine to find the Max Potion hidden nearby. Head back up the ramp out of the area. Now take the ramp leading up east.
