Mt. Barricade (PMU 7)

Mt. Barricade, commonly abbreviated to Barricade or simply Barr, is a dungeon originally from PMU 6 which was later remade and added to PMU 7. It is one of the strongest dungeons in Exbel that is not set level, and is the closest Exbel dungeon to the Tanren region. The Pokémon vary in type, but are mostly Bug-, Fighting-, and Ground-type, with some able to cause different status problems.

It has 30 Floors with two intermissions and two bosses. Both intermissions are a cliff lookout with a puzzle increasing in height to reach the entrance back into the dungeon. Foggy and rainy weather is common.

Floors 1-15
The low floors of the dungeon include a lot of water with small rooms. The ground is a light tan color and the walls of this scenery set are light grey. The darkness starts out very hefty in these first floors. On Floor 11 the range of darkness becomes somewhat smaller.

Floors 16-30
In the higher floors of this dungeon the dirt is grey with occasional yellow grass, and the water shifts to a deeper, darker blue. Darkness decreases slightly starting on 16 and again on 22. On Floor 20 is a Sealed Chamber with a Hard Box that can contain a Brown Silk.

Mt. Barricade Cliffs
After Floor 10 and Floor 19 are warp type puzzles. The Floor 19 puzzle leads to the miniboss of the dungeon, where after the puzzle continues and leads to the entrance back into the dungeon floors. Both puzzles always have sunny weather, and also have wind in them!

Hariyama and Makuhita
Mt. Barricade has a miniboss along with the end boss. The miniboss is a group of 3 Hariyama and 3 Makuhita, that appear in a room in the Mt. Barricade Cliffs after Floor 19. The Makuhita know Dynamic Punch, Seismic Toss, Helping Hand and Wide Guard while the Hariyama know Dynamic Punch, Smelling Salts, Force Palm and Earthquake.

Tyranitar
The end boss is a gang assembled by a Tyranitar. It consists of Gliscor, Skarmory, Tyranitar, Pupitar, and Larvitar. The sunny weather which appears to be prevalent at first is quickly replaced by Sandstorm as the final boss spawns.

Dungeon Objective
The objective for this dungeon is, like many others, to go up the floors and beat the dungeon and boss. This dungeon offers the Oval Stone, which is necessary to evolve Happiny. The Silk for Ground-types can be obtained here, which is the easier method as it is otherwise obtainable in Dynamo Sands. Mt. Barricade is also the only the dungeon that has a recruitable Larvitar.

Trivia

 * When Mt. Barricade was released in PMU 7, the mini boss had a glitch that caused many phantom enemies to spawn. These sprites couldn't move nor attack.
 * Previously there was a glitch where the boss did not spawn and players had to be warped into a boss fight where they are spawned for you. It has since been fixed.
 * Despite the intermission, Secret Rooms can still appear on Floor 10, completely skipping Mt. Barricade Cliffs after leaving the Secret Room.
