The Cave

guide

Rhyniognatha Drones spawn inside — this swamp cave on the map's south-eastern edge is where Astraeos keeps its Rhyniognatha, alongside Titanomyrma soldiers and drones.

The entrance is at 84.1 / 98.8.

Hazards

  • Titanomyrma and Meganeura swarm; a Rhyniognatha queen can pin you and implant your own mount.

What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 6
Grabs and pinsArmour damageTorporSwarms
  • Rhyniognatha — Pins a survivor or small mount with resin and calls the fight to it; a queen can implant her egg in your own mount.
    Fight it at range before the resin lands.
  • Arthropluera — Its ranged acid attack damages armour directly — primitive Flak breaks in one or two hits — and armour damage cannot be repaired if the piece is destroyed.
    Wear Hide rather than Flak and carry Fiber and Hide to repair. Kill it at range; it out-damages armour faster than you out-heal it.
  • Araneo — Webs you in place from range, which stops you kiting and stops a mount fleeing. Its bite applies torpor.
    Kill it at range before it closes. Bug Repellant makes it ignore you entirely.
  • Pulmonoscorpius — Torpor per hit, higher than almost anything else its size, and it is fast.
    Bug Repellant, and Stimulant for when it lands hits anyway.
  • Titanoboa — Applies heavy torpor per bite and is quiet enough to reach you before you see it.
    Stimberries or Stimulant on your hotbar. Two bites will drop an unprepared survivor.
  • Titanomyrma — Swarms and applies a small amount of torpor per bite.
    Bug Repellant.
Not a threat: Achatina, Dung Beetle, Meganeura
