Misery Mire (Dungeon)

Misery Mire (悪魔の沼, Demon Swamp) is one of the dungeons in the Dark World, located in the Swamp of Evil.

Entrance to the Mire
The Misery Mire dungeon can only be entered by one who uses the Ether Medallion in front of the entrance to calm the storms that ravage the area. It is the sixth Dark World dungeon, and the tenth dungeon overall in the game. Its Light World counterpart is the Desert Palace.

Themes and Navigation
The dungeon is green-colored, and features Wizzrobe creatures. One of the main rooms feature a double maze (one under the other, where numerous fireball snakes maraud aimlessly); another room opens its space when Link lights four torches with the Fire Rod, and another room is a large chasm that can only be crossed through wooden bridges. It somewhat reminds the player of the Swamp Palace because of the dungeon's location (a large body of water), the boss and the overall atmosphere; however, there is no water anywhere. The dungeon is home to the mysterious artifact, the Cane of Somaria, useful to press slacked switches; the trapped Maiden is guarded by the monstrous eyeball creature Vitreous.
