The Path of Promise is at the eastern cape of the island, in a valley between tall mountains. The first room has been walled off and in order to proceed beyond, the heroes must use the wrecking ball on the blocking wall. By doing so, the wall is destroyed and the heroes may continue into the cave.

The rest of the dungeon is a central room with several hallways that lead to dead ends, with another two fake out passage ways on the second floor.

Remake changes

In the NES version, it's possible to travel to a majority of locations on the overworld after defeating Baramos, before talking to the King of Aliahan, by going through the cave and taking the Teleportal leading to Romaria. In the remake, the teleportal is blocked off by the old man in the first room of the cave, preventing any further progress until the player has an audience with the king.

In the remakes, the world map is located in a treasure chest just beyond the blocking wall.

The wall that must be destroyed with the wrecking ball now depicts two soldiers clashing, alluding to the militaristic history of ancient Aliahan. The basement floor has been changed, and there is a prestidigitator disguised as a human lurking about.
