| '''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: | | '''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}}.

| |
| 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]].

| There is much mystery shrouding Turnback Cave, in relation to getting consistently to {{p|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.
| | 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 Rope]]s and {{m|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 {{game|Platinum}}, after catching Giratina, there will also be a portal to the [[Distortion World]], where the player can obtain the [[Griseous Orb]]. |

| | Before being able to obtain the item at the end of the cave, the player must first catch or defeat Giratina. In {{game|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. |
