Limestone Cave (鍾乳洞, Shōnyūdō) is a location in The Legend of Dragoon.
Dart and company go through the cave to arrive at Bale. While here, they discover a secret about Shana. Legend has it that the cave has a guardian.
This is the first of three dwelling places for Rock Fireflies, which offer the company a chance to restore their health to full and later on, their Magic Points too.
Story
Dart and crew make it to the cave shortly after leaving the prairie. Once they enter, there is a small river that divides into separate paths that end at different plateaus, each holding a treasure chest. Past there, the group encounter a series of stepping stones that they must cross individually. Before they go any further, Dart warns Shana to be careful. As they near the end of the stones, Lavitz slips and almost falls from the waterfall. Dart quickly goes to Lavitz aid and helps him up and to the other platform. Lavitz tells him it is the second time Dart has saved his life, but Dart replies that he was just around. Lavitz and Dart leave, shoulder to shoulder, leaving Shana behind trying to get their attention.
Farther into the cave they encounter some Rock Fireflies and Dart and Lavitz once again show a strong bond by their fondness and knowledge of the flies, leaving Shana out again. Near the exit of the cave, the crew begin to hear noises. Lavitz believes it to be the guardian of the cave, Urobolus. Dart tells Shana to step back but she persists that she can fight too and Dart gives in. The three of them are able to defeat the snake and begin heading to the exit but are stopped as the snake rises and lunges at Shana. Dart yells for her but can only watch as the snake stops as a blinding light shines from Shana's forehead. The snake is annihilated piece by piece, leaving all three stunned and confused. Dart and company finally leave the cave and head to Bale to speak with King Albert about the dragon.

There is a bunny/dog creature in the cave that can be caught. Once it is caught it will wiggle free and move to a stone. Go to that stone and it will hop away leaving behind a chest containing a Poison Guard, a great accessory for the upcoming fight with Urobolus.
