Retrace your steps for the quest most of the way to the bandit leader's cave:

[[VH/Hot Spring Town|Hot Spring Town]] North Gate → Hot Springs Town&nbsp;N → North Mountain&nbsp;1 → North Mountain&nbsp;4 → North Mountain&nbsp;5 → N&nbsp;Mountain Marsh → N&nbsp;Mountain Torrent
 +
 +
However, instead of exiting N&nbsp;Mountain Torrent to the east like you did during the quest, exit to the south. This will take you to North Mountain&nbsp;6. Go south briefly, and immediately exit to the east. This will bring you to where you initiated the encounter with the bandit leader for final boss fight of the quest (North Mountain&nbsp;3). Walk right until you are as close to the cave as possible, and you will automatically jump over to the ledge with the cave.

When you are at North Mountain&nbsp;1, instead of continuing north to North Mountain&nbsp;4, exit to the northwest. This will bring you to North Mountain. Continue west, and you will end up in Deep Western Forest&nbsp;4. Climb up some vines and exit to the north. This will bring you to North Mountain&nbsp;6. Go north and exit from the east, and you will be at the cave.

When you are at North Mountain&nbsp;4, instead of continuing north to North Mountain&nbsp;5, exit to the northwest. This will bring you to directly to North Mountain&nbsp;3, but at the foot of the mountain where the cave is located.

Enter the cave where the final boss fight took place (Collapsed Cave&nbsp;3–2). It is now populated by regular mobs. If you go to the southwest corner where there are shallow pools of water, there is now a chest that contains 1000G.

Walk to the right until you are at the edge of the cliff, and you will automatically jump down to the roof of the guard station, where the [[VH/VH Heart|VH Heart]] is located.

 +
=== Additional Areas ===
 +
In Collapsed Cave&nbsp;3–2, if you go to the southeast corner of the cave, you will encounter a passageway where a cave–in has occurred; however, you can clearly see that there is a room behind it. The '''only''' way to access the area beyond is if you [[VH/Debug Mode#Activating Debug Mode|started the game in Debug Mode]]. To explore the area behind the cave–in, open the Portable Portal and teleport to a location called '''''North Mountain Cave'''''. The location pin is located just to the southeast of the pin for {{vhl|Road to Frontier}}. After you teleport, you can explore other caves, such as Collapsed Cave&nbsp;1 and Collapsed Cave&nbsp;2 (in case you were ever wondering why the cave where you have the boss fight was called Collapsed Cave&nbsp;'''3–2'''). If you explore these areas, you will eventually discover that you can make your way back to the cave–in in Collapsed Cave&nbsp;3–2. If you press the action key (i.e., the regular attack key, usually the {{key|Z}} key) at the cave–in from the back, your character will squeeze through the fallen rocks, and you will end up in Collapsed Cave&nbsp;3–2.

After the Quest

After you are finished with this quest, you can return to the area and collect some useful items. There are several routes back to the area.

Longest Route

Retrace your steps for the quest most of the way to the bandit leader's cave:

Hot Spring Town North Gate → Hot Springs Town N → North Mountain 1 → North Mountain 4 → North Mountain 5 → N Mountain Marsh → N Mountain Torrent

However, instead of exiting N Mountain Torrent to the east like you did during the quest, exit to the south. This will take you to North Mountain 6. Go south briefly, and immediately exit to the east. This will bring you to where you initiated the encounter with the bandit leader for final boss fight of the quest (North Mountain 3). Walk right until you are as close to the cave as possible, and you will automatically jump over to the ledge with the cave.

Note: There is a VH Heart on top of one of the clifs at the southeast corner of N Mountain Marsh. This area currently can only be reached if you use the FatalMix command for noclip.

Shorter Route

When you are at North Mountain 1, instead of continuing north to North Mountain 4, exit to the northwest. This will bring you to North Mountain. Continue west, and you will end up in Deep Western Forest 4. Climb up some vines and exit to the north. This will bring you to North Mountain 6. Go north and exit from the east, and you will be at the cave.

Hot Spring Town North Gate → Hot Springs Town N → North Mountain 1 → North Mountain → Deep Western Forest 4 → North Mountain 6

Shortest Route

Hot Spring Town North Gate → Hot Springs Town N → North Mountain 1 → North Mountain 4 → North Mountain 3

When you are at North Mountain 4, instead of continuing north to North Mountain 5, exit to the northwest. This will bring you to directly to North Mountain 3, but at the foot of the mountain where the cave is located. Here there are many minotaurs, and is a good spot where you can gather crafting materials from their drops. Climb up the tree in the middle.

  • If you go to the left, and you will see a triangular rock that looks suspiciously like the head of an arrow pointing up. Move Nanako to the cliff face lined up with this rock, and she will scale up the side of the cliff to the ledge with the cave.
  • If you go to the right, you will see some fallen rocks at the base of the cliff. This is another area where Nanako can scale the side of the cliff. This is the shortest path to get to where you jump onto the roof of the guard station.

Items

Enter the cave where the final boss fight took place (Collapsed Cave 3–2). It is now populated by regular mobs. If you go to the southwest corner where there are shallow pools of water, there is now a chest that contains 1000G. Exit the cave, and climb back up using the handholds located just to the left of the cave entrance. Exit the screen to the east. This will take you back to North Mountain 5. Walk to the right until you are at the edge of the cliff, and you will automatically jump down to the roof of the guard station, where the VH Heart is located. Drop down the chimney to enter the guard station. Inside the guard station, there is a crate with a Defense Manna.

Additional Areas

In Collapsed Cave 3–2, if you go to the southeast corner of the cave, you will encounter a passageway where a cave–in has occurred; however, you can clearly see that there is a room behind it. The only way to access the area beyond is if you started the game in Debug Mode. To explore the area behind the cave–in, open the Portable Portal and teleport to a location called North Mountain Cave. The location pin is located just to the southeast of the pin for Road to Frontier. After you teleport, you can explore other caves, such as Collapsed Cave 1 and Collapsed Cave 2 (in case you were ever wondering why the cave where you have the boss fight was called Collapsed Cave 3–2). If you explore these areas, you will eventually discover that you can make your way back to the cave–in in Collapsed Cave 3–2. If you press the action key (i.e., the regular attack key, usually the Z key) at the cave–in from the back, your character will squeeze through the fallen rocks, and you will end up in Collapsed Cave 3–2.
