The Dwarf Tunnel is a location in Trials of Mana.

Background[edit]

Located far below Stonesplit Gap, the singular Tunnel is actually a network of mining hollows, and is home to the refractive crystal used in earnest by the dwarfs that live just above it. Some of the surrounding earth is so dense that it requires the aid of explosives to blow a path through it. The remains of an old campsite can be found toward the west, while depth-dwelling monsters have squirreled away treasure in various nooks and crannies.

History[edit]

Trials of Mana[edit]

Chapter I[edit]

The search for Watts and his nitromyte begins in earnest as the Chosen and their party head deeper into Stonesplit Gap. Braving the network of mining tunnels, they find Watts in an old mining camp, where he tries to sell the party the explosive first for 5,000, and then for 3,000 lucre. Should he be refused, he reveals that he is searching for Gnome, who seems to have gone missing, before he runs off. Desperate for the nitromyte, the party must chase Watts through the monster-ridden caverns. As they catch up to him, the ground rumbles and shakes underfoot. Sensing that this is no ordinary quake, Watts flees the area when a Jewel Eater charges through an old crystal vein. Its defeat releases Gnome, caught in its den while he was napping. Faerie successfully recruits Gnome to the party's cause as Watts returns impressed by the party's feats. He gives them the nitromyte free of charge.

With the precious propellant now in hand, the party rushes back to Maia to deliver it to Von Boyage so that he can complete his travel cannon.
