What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 5
Grabs and pinsArmour damageTorpor
  • Desmodus — Grabs a survivor and drains health; it also disables your own creature's abilities nearby.
  • 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.
Not a threat: Dung Beetle
