Lightless Shaft (Japanese:光遮る通地の底) is a dungeon located in Wild Arms 5, where Dean's party first encounter Greg Russelberg and Elvis where trying to retrieve the Mirror of De Soto in order to clear the name of their friend Chuck Preston, who has been accused of stealing it and has been sentenced to hang. Dean and company are informed by Greg as they are crossing paths that he has rigged bombs to detonate soon, and after failing to convince him to disarm them, the player party ventures inside anyway. The bosses fought here are the Spriggan and Elvis, the latter of whom is true theft of the mirror and whose battle is unbeatable. Despite being defeated, Dean is able to get the mirror when Greg's bombs do eventually go off immediately afterwards and Elvis accidentally drops it, and the player party is forced to flee as the mine starts to crumble.
