Gizamaluke's Grotto is a location in Final Fantasy IX situated on the Mist Continent on Gaia. It is the only way to travel between Lindblum and Burmecia on foot. Gizamaluke's Grotto is named after the large aquatic creature, Gizamaluke, which inhabits the grotto and which is referred to as Master Gizamaluke by Burmecians. The grotto must be navigated using a system of bells, which operate as keys. A route in Gizamaluke's Grotto leads to a mountain cliff area, which should be avoided during the first visit, as the Grand Dragons on the cliff are difficult to defeat due to their high level.
