[edit] Story
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
On his quest to free the Seven Maidens, Link has to enter the Swamp of Evil, which is inaccessible from the Dark World. Using the Flute, he transports himself to a small plateau in the Desert of Mystery where two black stones can be found. He lifts one of these stones with the Titan's Mitt. Below is a portal to the Dark World. Stepping onto the portal, Link is transported to the south-western edge of the Swamp of Evil. He finds the entrance to the dungeon itself locked, and uses the Ether Medallion to open the door and stop the seemingly never-ending downpour in the area. Inside, Link obtains the Cane of Somaria and battles Vitreous. Victorious, he frees the sixth Maiden.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
[edit] Dungeon
Misery Mire consists of one main floor as well as three basement floors. The main puzzle in this dungeon is in the area near the Big Key. Link must light four Torches, however, they are in two different rooms. The primary treasure item located inside the Misery Mire dungeon is the Cane of Somaria. The boss is Vitreous, a giant eyeball with the ability to shoot bolts of lightning from its pupil.
Wizzrobes are an enemy that is introduced in this dungeon and Beamos, which have not appeared since the Desert Palace, return.
