The Mastery Cave is an area located in the Cindersap Forest. It is unlocked after the Player has achieved max level in all 5 skills. If attempted to enter before reaching this, a message will display: Only a master of the five ways may enter ([Number of max level skills]/5). Inside, the player can find:

5 mastery totems on the wall, one for each skill

A bench in the center of the cave that reads "The Last Path"

A letter from Grandpa in the southeast corner

Mastery Totems

Each totem grants special items or benefits, but that can only be claimed once you achieve 10,000 Mastery points. The totems may be picked in any order, however, each mastery level and therefore each totem after the first costs progressively more points to unlock.
