Here, a sage Gnorbu named Igneot has set up a magical space where Neopians can ask questions and receive cryptic answers in the form of a living Magic 8 Ball. This enchanting feature has intrigued players for years, offering a unique interaction where Igneot’s responses vary based on your queries.
Whether you’re looking for fortune, advice, or simply an answer to a burning question, Igneot’s Cavern is the place to go. But be warned – the answers may not always be clear or definitive.

How to Use Igneot’s Cavern
Using Igneot’s Cavern is a simple but exciting experience. Here’s how it works:
- Visit Igneot: Navigate to Igneot’s Cavern in the depths of Moltara.
- Ask a Question: Once there, type in your question. Igneot will respond with one of six possible poses, each with its corresponding text.
- Pose and Response: Igneot’s responses change every hour, meaning the answer you get may differ each time you visit. However, be aware that capitalization and punctuation matter – “Hi,” “hi,” and “Hi!” will all trigger different reactions.
- Receive Your Answer: Igneot will offer one of his six responses, each accompanied by a unique pose and text. The phrasing of your question and timing will determine what Igneot has to say.
The 6 Possible Responses from Igneot
Igneot’s Cavern is all about offering a variety of responses, each corresponding to a specific pose. Here’s a breakdown of each response you might receive:
Yes
If you receive a Yes answer, Igneot’s fiery gaze will give you hope. This is the most positive response, affirming your query. You’ll see one of the following texts along with a fiery image:
- “It has been foreseen.”
- “The fires say it will be so.”
Likely
A more optimistic, but slightly less certain response, “Likely” suggests that success is probable but not guaranteed. You’ll see this text along with an image of glowing coals:
- “The coals burn brightly in favor of this.”
- “Like the darkness, this can be overcome.”
Maybe
Sometimes, Igneot will take a moment to ponder your question. This response indicates uncertainty but still leaves room for hope. Expect to see one of these phrases:
- “The coals become colder, but there is a chance…”
- “The solution lies in your hands.”
Can’t Say
Occasionally, Igneot may find himself stumped or distracted. When this happens, he’ll either express confusion or disinterest, giving you an unclear response:
- “Cough The cave is too smokey. I cannot see the answer.”
- “SNORE Eh… I am too sleepy.”
Not Likely
For those who aren’t hearing what they want, “Not Likely” offers a pessimistic view of your query. While not as harsh as a definite “No,” it’s still a sign that things may not work out as you’d hoped:
- “The ashes blow away like your chances.”
- “This is hard to read, however, it seems unlikely.”
No
The definitive rejection – Igneot clearly disapproves of your query. When this happens, it’s time to accept that your hopes may not come to fruition:
- “The darkness is here and will not be overcome.”
- “The fire has gone out, the answer is no.”
The Magma Pool Connection: A Cryptic Clue
In 2020, before Adobe Flash was discontinued, there was a movement within the Neopets community to find a way to unlock permanent access to the Magma Pool. As part of this effort, Neopets staff member van Doodle left a series of cryptic clues scattered across his account, which eventually formed a poem. The sixth verse of this poem reads:
“…and when you feel that hope is lost and your future is uncertain, seek counsel from the warm and wise to pull away the curtain.”
This line has sparked much speculation. Many players believe it suggests that in order to unlock permanent access to the Magma Pool, you must receive a Yes response from Igneot. Although this remains unconfirmed, it’s a common theory among Neopians.
What to Do if You Get a “Yes” from Igneot
If you happen to receive a “Yes” response from Igneot but don’t have permanent access to the Magma Pool, it’s recommended that you keep a record of the details:
- What did you type to receive the response?
- At what hour did you receive the “Yes” reply?
This information may be crucial in further investigations or potential future updates related to unlocking the Magma Pool. Keep an eye on Magma Pool guides to stay updated on any breakthroughs.
