There is a door right at the top, take it and you will find youself above to room in which you first found yourself. Take the bridge in this room and walk straight into the wall. You should find a hidden room with a chest that contains a Ribbon.

Follow the path and you will find yourself face to face with an ice boulder. Select it with the action button and push it, you should see it clear a path for future use. Head back to the room with the staircase. Go up and you can take the path that was cleared from the boulder. Keep followong the path and it will lead you outside.

This exit leads to a path outside, follow this path which will lead you to an upper level of the caves, and you find icicles and two chests. The chest on the right contains a Fire Armlet. To get to the other chest you must fight the icicles. Just running under them will activate the battle. At the end of every battle you will be given the option to return to the room below, don't go. When you open the chest to the left, you will find the "Last Elixir", which is a Megalixir. If you press the action button near the exit, you will be able to jump down to the room below. Do this. The room full of holes will be filled and you can collect a chest on the ground level that contains an Elixir. Another chest can be found in the upper left corner of the room.
