Pokémon world locations

Turnback Cave (Japanese: りの洞窟 Returning Cave) is a maze-like cave filled with dense fog which is home to the Legendary Pokémon Giratina. Turnback Cave is located at the north-central region of Sendoff Spring, which itself may only be accessed through the Spring Path.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there is an inscription in the pillar in the room Giratina resides in that implies the cave is a location where the separation between the real world and the Distortion World is weaker. In Pokémon Platinum, a portal to the Distortion World appears in front of the pillar. The inscription reads:

This is... That where life sparkles... That where life has faded... A place where two worlds overlap...

Geography

Rooms and pillars

A pillar

When a player exits a room, the next will be randomly chosen from a selection of possible rooms. If the player walks out the door through which they entered a room, they will return to the entrance room; from the entrance room, the player can exit to Sendoff Spring. If the player navigates 30 rooms without finding the third pillar, the next door returns them to the entrance room. Escape Ropes and Dig cannot be used to escape. The inscription in the pillar at the entrance room reads:

...Past three pillars...to the sleeping... ...before 30 is surpassed...

After the player has found three pillar rooms, the next room will be Giratina's room. In Pokémon Platinum, Giratina will only be in this room if the player did not catch it in the Distortion World. If Giratina is not present, there will be an item each time it is reached, with the item depending on the number of rooms the player navigated to reach it: a Reaper Cloth if they reach it in 3 rooms, a Rare Bone if they reach it in 4 to 15, and a Stardust if they reach it in 16 to 30. In Pokémon Platinum, after catching Giratina, there will also be a portal to the Distortion World, where the player can obtain the Griseous Orb.

When the player reaches a pillar and examines it two numbers will appear: the top number indicates which pillar the player is looking at, and the bottom indicates how many rooms the player passed through on the way to it.

Items

Before being able to obtain the item at the end of the cave, the player must first catch or defeat Giratina. In Pokémon Platinum, if the player defeated Giratina in the Distortion World, they must defeat or catch it here and traverse through the cave again in order to be able to obtain items here.

Item Location Games
Reaper Cloth Reaper Cloth Giratina's room, if the player reached it by passing through only 3 rooms and Giratina is not present (reappears each time)  D  P  Pt 
Rare Bone Rare Bone Giratina's room, if the player reached it by passing through 4-15 rooms and Giratina is not present (reappears each time)  D  P  Pt 
Stardust Stardust Giratina's room, if the player reached it by passing through 16-30 rooms and Giratina is not present (reappears each time)  D  P  Pt
