'''Turnback Cave''' (Japanese: '''もどりのどうくつ''' ''Returning Cave'') is a maze-like cave filled with dense | '''Turnback Cave''' (Japanese: '''もどりのどうくつ''' ''Returning Cave'') is a maze-like cave filled with dense [[fog]] which is home to the [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Giratina}}. Turnback Cave is located at the north-central region of [[Sendoff Spring]], which itself may only be accessed through the [[Spring Path]]. In Diamond and Pearl, in the room Giratina resides in is an inscription that implies the cave is a location where the separation between the real world and the [[Distortion World]] is weaker. This is more or less confirmed in Platinum, where a portal to the Distortion World appears in front of the inscription. It reads: | ||
: ''This is... That where life sparkles... That where life has faded... A place where two worlds overlap...'' | |||
The only way to locate Giratina is to pass the three pillars before passing through thirty rooms. There is no way to consistently traverse the cave as rooms are always randomized upon entry, but the best hint to navigate the puzzle is to look at the pattern of rocks on the floor of each room, and enter the door out of the three which has the odd pattern. When the three pillars have been encountered the first time, Giratina will be in the next room. Escape | The only way to locate Giratina is to pass the three pillars before passing through thirty rooms as the inscription in the entrance says: | ||
: ''...Past three pillars...to the sleeping... ...before 30 is surpassed...'' | |||
There is no way to consistently traverse the cave as rooms are always randomized upon entry, but the best hint to navigate the puzzle is to look at the pattern of rocks on the floor of each room, and enter the door out of the three which has the odd pattern. When the three pillars have been encountered the first time, Giratina will be in the next room. [[Escape Rope]]s and {{m|Dig}} cannot be used to escape, but if one turns back and leaves through the door from which they entered, it will warp them directly to the first room. 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 have been passed through on the way to it. | |||
After catching Giratina, one can return through the cave to obtain a rare item, depending on how many rooms it takes to reach Giratina's room again. In just 3 rooms, the item will be a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Reaper Cloth}}; 4 to 15 will earn a {{DL|Valuable item|Rare Bone}}; 16 to 30 will earn a {{DL|Valuable item|Stardust}}. Over 30 rooms, of course, will return the player to the entrance. Riding the [[Bicycle]] seems to increase the chance of next entering a pillar room. Rare items regenerate by returning to the cave each time, and they can even be received with Giratina still in the room. In {{game|Platinum}}, it will have an item and the portal to the [[Distortion World]]. | After catching Giratina, one can return through the cave to obtain a rare item, depending on how many rooms it takes to reach Giratina's room again.

Location of Turnback Cave in Sinnoh. | ||||
Pokémon world locations |
Turnback Cave (Japanese: もどりのどうくつ 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 Diamond and Pearl, in the room Giratina resides in is an inscription that implies the cave is a location where the separation between the real world and the Distortion World is weaker. This is more or less confirmed in Platinum, where a portal to the Distortion World appears in front of the inscription. It reads:
- This is... That where life sparkles... That where life has faded... A place where two worlds overlap...
The only way to locate Giratina is to pass the three pillars before passing through thirty rooms as the inscription in the entrance says:
- ...Past three pillars...to the sleeping... ...before 30 is surpassed...
There is no way to consistently traverse the cave as rooms are always randomized upon entry, but the best hint to navigate the puzzle is to look at the pattern of rocks on the floor of each room, and enter the door out of the three which has the odd pattern. When the three pillars have been encountered the first time, Giratina will be in the next room. Escape Ropes and Dig cannot be used to escape, but if one turns back and leaves through the door from which they entered, it will warp them directly to the first room. 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 have been passed through on the way to it.
After catching Giratina, one can return through the cave to obtain a rare item, depending on how many rooms it takes to reach Giratina's room again. In just 3 rooms, the item will be a Reaper Cloth; 4 to 15 will earn a Rare Bone; 16 to 30 will earn a Stardust. Over 30 rooms, of course, will return the player to the entrance. Riding the Bicycle seems to increase the chance of next entering a pillar room. Rare items regenerate by returning to the cave each time, and they can even be received with Giratina still in the room. In Pokémon Platinum, it will have an item and the portal to the Distortion World.
Geography
Rooms and pillars
There is much mystery shrouding Turnback Cave, in relation to getting consistently to Giratina's room. Rooms occur randomly when the player goes through an entrance. The only way to locate Giratina is to pass the three pillars before passing through thirty rooms. The best hint to navigate the puzzle is to look at the pattern of rocks on the floor of each room, and enter the door out of the three which has the odd pattern. Riding the Bicycle also seems to help. When the three pillars have been encountered the first time, Giratina will be in the next room. Each pillar has two numbers on it: the top number indicates which pillar the player is looking at, and the bottom indicates how many rooms have been passed through on the way to it.
Items
Item | Location | Games | |
---|---|---|---|
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 | 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 | 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 | |

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In the Platinum arc, Flint and Volkner entered the Distortion World through the cave. They were later followed by Platinum, Palmer, Cheryl, Riley, Mira, Marley, and the Advanced level Grunt. After leading the group to the portal, the Grunt was about to head out, but he was stopped by Platinum, who voiced her distrust towards him. She, however, promised to protect him from Team Galactic, to which the Grunt agreed and led them through the portal.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the item that can be obtained in the last room can be found right behind Giratina, hidden out of sight. Giratina does not have to be battled to obtain the item.
- In Pokémon Platinum, if Giratina is not caught in the Distortion World then it will appear here, in the final room on top of the portal to the Distortion World. After it has been battled, the portal will be accessible.
- Turnback Cave is similar to locations in Kanto and Hoenn.
- In Kanto, Cerulean Cave can only be visited after defeating the Elite Four (Generation I) or obtaining the National Pokédex (Generations III and IV), and is home to high-level wild Pokémon and a level 70 legendary Pokémon.
- In Hoenn, the Sky Pillar is home to high level Pokémon and a level 70 legendary Pokémon, and in the third version it can be visited before the Elite Four.
- Turnback Cave's system of seemingly random room layout may be an advanced version of the system used in Lost Cave in the Sevii Islands in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
- Turnback Cave and the Distortion World may draw some inspiration from the Japanese underworld, Yomi. Giratina itself can be seen as a parallel to the kami Izanami.
