Crystal Ruins

Crystal Ruins (CR) is an Ice-type dungeon located in Winden, northwest of Snowbasin Town. To access it, you must use Rock Smash and traverse through the Forsaken Bunker. The only weather condition that can occur is hail.

Crystal Ruins is one of the older dungeons in the game, and along with Crystal Castle was the first dungeon to be added to Winden after its release. It was once the hardest non-event and non-set-level dungeon in PMU 7. On June 18th 2019, both Crystal Ruins and Crystal Castle received a revamp.
