Why is Mr Qi not at level 100?
Why is Mr Qi not at level 100? Reaching Level 100 If you have read Secret Note #10, once you reach Level 100 of the Skull Cavern, Mr Qi will be waiting for you. If you arrive having used 10 or fewer staircases, he will congratulate you, while if you have used more than 10, he will call you "clever" but "not honorable".
What level is Mr Qi on?
Reaching Level 25 The day after you first enter the Skull Cavern, you will receive a letter from Mr Qi. It challenges you to reach level 25, with a 10,000g reward.
Do staircases stay in Skull Cavern?
Staircases work just like the game-supplied down-ladders. Each one works only for one use. Leaving the mine or returning to a higher floor will result in the staircase being permanently gone. In addition, once a staircase has been placed, it cannot be picked up again, even if it has not been used.
