NOTE: The map shows it as if there was no connection between the place with position 8 and the place with position 7. This is because the map was taken after the whole caves were finished. There is a way through.

Now go to the Urbish MINES
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE DONE THE URBISH MINES BEFORE YOU TALKED TO DAWN, SHE WILL ALSO GIVE YOU THE VERY IMPORTANT VAELAN'S CUBE. EITHER WAY, THE SECOND ONE YOU DO WILL GIVE IT TO YOU. IN THIS SOLVE, THE SECOND ONE THAT IS DONE IS PAULSON IN THE MINES.
URBISH MINES
You will not yet be ready to go into the mines. Just walk right through, and whatever you do, don't open that door. The Larkhon will surely kill you.
