What was the most annoying dungeon in all of FF1?!
i personally hated the marsh cave due to poison and piscodemons/magicians
but on the other hand the volcano killed me the most so i choose volcano

CHAOS SHRINE!!!! Godamn hopeless level design!!! this is what happened when i saw how easy that dungeon was- 

I dunno I never really found FF1 that difficult me and my friend had a race to finish the game and we did it in a day. We both had the same team at the end,

White Knight
Ninja
White Wizard
Black Wizard

...then again, we were playing the gba version. The only problem was finding the airship because it was both or our first times playing the game, we had no idea what to do until I randomly stumbled into the desert.

I can't remember though maybe the earth cavern, when you have to go in then exit then get to the bottom floor. Time consuming...

Hard dungeons? In FF1? It was easy as cheese! I chose Marsh Cave because it was remotely the most annoying.

I'm going more by FF1 NES rather than GBA. Also, it's been some time since I played, so I may not be accurate, I'm more going on my memory which tends to fail me.

Chaos Shrine

Masamune is nice. I never really had problems except for Chaos himself, who loved to Cure4 himself and take us down easily. This was on the GBA version though. I think I didn't have a problem with the NES version of Chaos.

Marsh Cave

Blah, Marsh cave. Despite there being a few things you can get once you have the key, I never bothered. It takes too long to get there, overabundance of poisoning enemies, and the treasures there aren't really great. Maybe not the most annoying, but certainly up there. And having to fight Ogres/Creeps for enough money to afford Silver swords, Fire2 and all that is another annoyance, because you know you have to do that for the Marsh Cave anyway.

Cave of Earth

Hall of giants is pretty good for levelling, plus Earth elementals in front of chests. Unfortunately that Steel armor costs so much. It's pretty big, and at lower levels Cocatrices/Perilisks can kill you in one hit. I didn't consider it particularly annoying, plus it was nice to finally be away from Elfland and that area.

Volcano

The fire damaging can be annoying, but other than that, I wasn't particularly annoyed with it. I dunno why.

Underwater Shrine

I sometimes get lost here. Other than that, mermaids. That's about it.

Desert Spire/Mirage tower

Sometimes get lost in here too. You get some pretty nice stuff in here. Too bad WarMech's around. 1 in 64 chance. Heh. I'm unlucky enough to pretty much always run into it.

Temple of Chaos

If you mean Temple of Fiends, it is the simplest dungeon ever. Go straight, fight Garland, hope he doesn't knock you all down. The treasure isn't really worth it in my opinion.

Ice Cavern

Between armies of undead, Sorcerors which either stun the whole party or 1 hit kills them, Cocatrices (I believe they're there, I could be wrong and maybe it's Perilisks) which 1 hit kills you, Eye which one hit kills you (Although gives great EXP), and just getting lost falling into holes makes this one my most annoying. Plus I think you need to take a canoe to get there, which makes you fight monsters that poison you.

when i said chaos shrine i ment the first dungeon -.-
temple of chaos was the one with the masume and chaos :O

I'm playing the PSP Version.
What i hate the most is the Earthgift Shrine.
there's a time when you have to cross a stupid desert there.

in the PSP Version it has optional bosses.(i think the others have them too.)

Yeah those fuckers that i had to fight before reaching main treasure chests were really bitchy!
no wonder actually cause i was in level 10 with all my characters.
I had
Warrior- PK
Monk- Sean
Wht Mage- Celia
Blk Mage- Lance

For me it was definitely the Cave of Earth.
Just insanely annoying because you had to go through it basically twice, once to fight the Vampire, then again to fight Lich, who was pretty tough in the NES version...
