Talk:Turnback Cave

After reading the article, I'm still not sure how this cave works.

Is it a set puzzle (ie. is there a specific order of directions to follow in order to reach Giratina in just three rooms), or is it totally random whether the next room will contain a pillar or not?

The answer should probably be worked into the article somehow. -Pat 15:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

I also wondered this. TTEchidna 23:20, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

It's completely random. --S^hi_ny ^No_ct^ow_l 00:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I also have a concern/question. You see, I reached Giratina in 6 rooms, and then caught it. When I went back to get the item, I found a reaper cloth which, according to the article, is the wrong item. Resolver13 06:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

When you return, it's how many rooms it takes. So the number of rooms it took for Giratina is irrelevant. Gywall^(Talk) 09:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

So is there any way to determine?

Or is it just pure dumb luck to get a Reaper Cloth? TTEchidna 02:17, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Last I readit's random. Oh and btw; I made it through in only 4 rooms §hin¥£iΨ@chµ 02:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Meaning you just missed the cloth. Damn. TTEchidna 04:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

A Glich?

I was walking around Turnback Cave with a Max Repel and I had my Haunter lv57 as my first Pokémon for repeling any wild Pokémon but suddenly a wild Bronzong lv66 appeared. I managed to catch it and it is in my Pokémon Diamond now. Can someone tell me, if this is a glich or is it normal for Bronzong lv66 to appear? Thanks in advance! Becko 19:25, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I dont think so, repels only block a certain level from appearing, im not so sure with max repels though--デビッド Aipom (Speaks To Me):] 秘密の通信 19:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Quote from Repel: "A Repel is an item which lets the player walk a certain number of steps without encountering Pokémon with a lower level than the first member in the player's party." Since your Haunter was Lv57, and the Bronzong was Lv66, the Max Repel would have had no effect on it, but any Pokémon Lv56 and below wouldn't appear. - Kogoro | Talk to me | 19:38, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

But was it normal that the wild Bronzong was at lv66? It's kind of unusual and on the article it says that Bronzong apears only at lv45, lv46. Becko 19:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah it's normal. The article is incomplete. The levels increase as you pass pillars. Gywall^(Talk) 19:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Works for me! Thanks for the replys! Becko 19:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Items

For the items, are they always set for what you get after the first time, or will it change? I've always gotten a Rare Bone, but I haven't tried getting the Stardust yet, so I wouldn't know. R.A. Hunter B. 17:44, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Location

We should state it in the article like we did for any other places. I don't know about it though. -Billy4b2004 10:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I think I'm glitched

I put in the section that items can be received even with Giratina in the room, because in my Pokémon Diamond, I didn't catch Giratina and I can pick up items that are hidden behind him. But in my Pokémon Pearl, There is no item behind Giratina. I just found that out when I went to battle him in Pearl yesterday. So is it Pearl that's glitched or Diamond that's glitched?--Brats817 21:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

What? You can walk behind Giratina?--freezingCOLD _{(page, talk)} 21:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you actually can walk behind Giratina. In my Diamond. There is a hidden item there, but in my Pearl, there isn't one. I don't know what happened.--Brats817 21:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
