The Cave

guide

The cave entrance is located at lat 48.3 lon 27.2, on the West side of a small lake, where there is enough room in the entrance to park several Rock Drakes. Further into the cave is a narrow tunnel through which you must crouch - this prevents you from taking most tamed creatures into the main cave.

What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 14
UnderwaterShockHeavy carnivoresGrabs and pinsArmour damageTorporSwarms
  • Aberrant Piranha — Attacks in shoals the moment you enter the water.
  • Aberrant Sarco — Rolls a survivor in water and is fast on land as well.
  • Aberrant Cnidaria — Shocks on contact, dismounting a rider and stunning a swimmer.
  • Aberrant Electrophorus — Shocks in water, stunning you long enough to drown.
  • Aberrant Carnotaurus — Fast mid-size carnivore that closes distance quickly.
  • Ravager — Pack hunter that also uses zip lines, so it follows you along them.
  • Aberrant Raptor — Pounces and pins a survivor on foot, and comes in packs.
  • Alpha Karkinos — An Alpha Karkinos: grabs and throws, with far more health.
  • Karkinos — Grabs a survivor or a mount with its claws and throws it.
  • Tek Raptor — A Raptor with more health and damage; pounces and pins.
  • Aberrant Arthropluera — Its ranged acid attack damages armour directly, and destroyed pieces cannot be repaired.
    Hide rather than Flak, with Fiber and Hide to repair. Kill it at range.
  • Aberrant Pulmonoscorpius — Torpor per hit, higher than almost anything its size, and it is fast.
    Bug Repellant, and Stimulant for the hits that land anyway.
  • Seeker — Flies, and its screech drains stamina and applies torpor. Attracted to charge light, which is the thing you need for the Nameless.
    Turn charge light down to its minimum radius rather than off — enough to keep Nameless away, not enough to call Seekers.
  • Aberrant Meganeura — As Meganeura — a swarm that interrupts rather than kills.
    Bug Repellant.
Not a threat: Aberrant Coelacanth, Aberrant Otter, Aberrant Salmon, Glowtail
