The fake end boss has a horde of Tentacruel and Quagsire attacking the player. Once the player finds the first boss, the player witnesses a Phione being attacked by Sharpedo, Crawdaunt, Kingdra and a Tentacruel. Phione flees, and the three summon Team Razor Shell and attack. After defeat, they leave, but afterwards, they plan to take the treasure.

Once the player reaches Floor 60, the player finds Whiscash, Seaking, Floatzel, Lanturn, Sharpedo, Crawdaunt and Octillery defeated. The player approaches, but as soon as the player gets close, Kyogre, thinking that the player is a backup, attacks. After a brutal battle, Kyogre refuses to give up and tries to use Hyper Beam. Just as the player is about to meet his/her brutal end, Manaphy barges in and blocks the Hyper Beam. Manaphy then tells Kyogre that the player is an ally. This causes Kyogre to gain the player's trust, and then, Manaphy offers to show the player where the treasure is, and Kyogre tells the player to follow Manaphy while Kyogre finishes off Whiscash, Seaking, Floatzel, Lanturn, Sharpedo, Crawdaunt and Octillery to make sure they never come back again, and then bids the player farewell.

To exit the dungeon, the player can simply enter the normal stairs and collect a Deluxe Box. There is nothing noteworthy inside of it except TM Psychic.

Dungeon Objective
There are many different reasons to enter this dungeon. Horsea and Piplup are only found in Western Seafloor Ruins and the dungeon gives large amounts of experience for training. This dungeon is the only dungeon where you can find TM Thunder.

The main reason for completing Western Seafloor Ruins is to obtain the Sea Dew. It may be found in the Deluxe Box located at the end of the dungeon. The chance of obtaining one is 20%, and it is required to enter Central Seafloor Ruins.

To complete this dungeon, the player must press two switches on floor 21 and continue to the sealed stair. Afterwards on floor 30 two switches must be pressed again. On floor 40 locate the secret room, complete the warp puzzle and defeat the bosses. At floor 41 three players are needed to press the switches at the same time to continue, and at floor 50 three players are needed to press the switches to continue. After all this is done, the only obstacle left is defeating the boss.

Kyogre also has a chance of dropping his Heart Slate, and with this, the player can combine the Heart Slate with the Mystery Part to summon Kyogre in dungeons. This also gives the player access to Kyogre's Origin Pulse, though only if Origin Pulse is randomly selected to be one of the moves Kyogre can use in the dungeon run.

Tips

 * Do not rely on Electric-Type moves to face the first boss as Seaking will prevent that
 * Do not enter the normal stairs found on floor 40.
 * The stair will instantly warp you out without waiting for your partners.
 * Pokémon with Water Absorb will do well in the dungeon.
