Mt. Faraway (Japanese: はるかなる　れいほう, Sacred Mt. Faraway) is a post-credits dungeon in / Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team. It is unlocked after defeating Suicune in Northwind Field.

In order to enter the dungeon, either the Surf HM must be in the player's inventory or the corresponding move must be known by a party member.

Plot

After receiving the Rainbow Wing from Suicune, the player then heads to Mt. Faraway and encounters the Mirage Pokémon, Ho-Oh. Ho-Oh will then engage the player in battle.

Upon defeating Ho-Oh, the player can then go and describe the Mirage Pokémon to Spinda the next day. Spinda, content with the player's description, is inspired to resume its travels and leaves, bringing the story arc to a close.

However, if the player befriends Ho-Oh and makes it the leader before speaking to Spinda, Spinda will go through its usual dialogue before realizing it's talking to the Mirage Pokémon and fainting in surprise. After regaining consciousness, it will apologize for fainting and thank Ho-Oh, promising to cherish the memory of their meeting forever. Overjoyed, Spinda will then leave to resume its travels, ending the story arc.

Recommended Strategy

Preparation

Items

It is recommended to bring at least 3 Huge Apples, 2 Big Apples and 3 Apples. Although Kecleon Shops can spawn, they do not appear often enough to be a reliable source of food. Bring along 3 or 4 Max Elixirs (more if you're not sure how many PP you'll waste) if you are low-leveled. Bring an Escape Orb just in case things don't go as planned, as well as at least 2 Petrify Orbs for desperate measures. Bring at least 3 or 4 Reviver Seeds, particularly if you're at a low level, as some Pokémon's move pools may quickly overpower you and cause you to faint. As an optional choice, bring one or two Insomniscopes (unless you have a player in the party who can learn Uproar) in preparation for specific floors and Pokémon.

Surf HM is required (unless you have a Pokémon in the party who has learned Surf) in order to access the island itself. The leader is recommended to have X-Ray Specs in their holding inventory, whilst partners are encouraged to have stat boosting equipment.

Level, IQ and Other

It is recommended that all Pokémon be at level 45 or higher before entering, although 40 is all right as well. The leading Pokémon should have the IQ Skill Trap Seer. Super Mobile is also recommended, particularly for the last few floors. For partner Pokémon, the skill Trap Avoider is recommended but not a necessity.

In the Dungeon

Only eat Apples (this applies ESPECIALLY to Big and Huge Apples) when your Belly is completely empty. For higher-level Pokémon, it is optional to consume the Apples when health is below 25% for conservation (though you shouldn't bother if the leader is Poisoned).

A particular Pokémon to watch out for is Parasect, as its ability to inflict sleep, poison, and paralysis can easily lead to a quick defeat. Some Pokémon in the dungeon can also use Screech or Leer to lower your defense; if this happens, it would be wise to seek out the stairs as quickly as possible, as you run the risk of taking heavy damage should you get in a fight.

Dungeon information

Both Kecleon Shops and Monster Houses have a chance of spawning throughout the dungeon. The Friend Bow can be found on floor 30; it can only be accessed with a Key. This is the only dungeon where Castform can be recruited.

Part of this page's history has been imported from the PMD Rescue Team Wiki. On September 11, 2019, the Gamepedia Shiren the Wanderer Wiki became the Gamepedia Mystery Dungeon Wiki. As part of the unification project between Fandom and Gamepedia, we absorbed the Rescue Team Wiki and its page histories. Some pages were originally deemed unworthy of being imported and were left behind. We've since imported them with the intent to preserve the edits and history of this community and its contributions, as well as to build upon them. In some cases, these pages have been created again by editors of the MDFW, and the Rescue Team page histories were imported into them at a later date. You can check if this is the case by visiting the page's history.
