'''Ocean's Roar Cave''' is the fourth dungeon in ''[[Dark Chronicle]]'' and takes place during [[Chapter 4: Goodbye Shingala]]. It is located in the [[Veniccio]] coast, and contains floors set in underground sea caves and above-ground coastlines. The intermediate floors contain only underground portions, and so spheda may be played here. The gate key used is the Luna Stone, and getting through blocked paths requires the Luna Piece. The Ocean's Roar Cave introduces the [[Aquarium]] and the [[Finny Frenzy]] to the player.

===Return of the Serpent===
When starting [[Return of the Serpent]], a cutscene will introduce the [[Finny Frenzy]] in [[Palm Brinks]], where [[Mayor Need]] and [[Morton]] in city hall once again are excited to unveil the new fish racing contest to the town folks. The Finny Frenzy becomes available to the player every ten days afterwards.

==Medals==
===Time Attack===
The floors on Ocean's Roar Cave are huge, but there is ample time given to defeat all monsters and collect ABS and Gilda. The time trial medals are especially easy to get if you have weapons that can one-hit kill and have [[Pau]] in your support character slot. You should even have time to throw all the rocks in the level to look for items, assuming that you don't dawdle around unnecessarily.

===Item Only===
As always, bringing along [[Improved Bomb]]s kills many of the enemies in the item-only stages. Enemies that are particularly hard to hit such as the [[Sand Moler]]s can be weakened with [[Poison Apple]]s, and finished off using [[Bomb Nut]]s. Undead enemies can be weakened with [[Holy Water]], and may be finished off using other items. [[Pirate Tank]]s can be highly annoying due to their tendency to use cannonballs, which can screw up your chances of earning an item-only medal. Using a [[Stone Berry]] or a [[Heart-Throb Cherry]], and finishing them off using Improved Bombs is the best way to bring them down.

===Spheda===
Spheda in Ocean's Roar Cave is easy, as there are rarely any off course areas, and only completely-underground levels have spheda medals. Do note however that the cave walls are uneven, so do not try to bounce the ball off the wall and expect consistency. Occasionally you may get the ball stuck right next to the wall, in which case you may move the ball using the square button to a nearby location, but this will cost you one shot. Also note that the ball will lose most of its momentum when it touches the floor, due to the floor being covered in seawater, so using topspin may help counteract this. Otherwise, this dungeon is one big playground for spheda, with the [[Swan]] or [[Flamingo]] being generally the best clubs to use.

===Fishing===
Only the levels that contain above-ground portions have fishing medals, as fishing can only be done by the coastline. But like any of the fishing goals, it requires patience and/or luck, and can take anywhere from a short to a long time. Consider investing fishing points in your [[Fishing Rod]] or [[Lure Rod]] to make things easier.

After giving the medicine to Shingala, Gaspard's flying battleship will be heading to the village. Returning to the village, you will find that Dr. Jaming has placed mind control devices on the shigura, and he must be fought.
