The Root Tunnel is a small cave in the Tallon Overworld. It connects the Root Cave with the Tallon Canyon. The center of the room is mostly filled with water, but there is a path on the side with a Bloodflower on it. Several Sap Sacs hang from the ceiling, and one end of the room has a large group of Tangle Weed on the floor. The entrance to the Root Cave is blocked by a Missile Door Lock.
