The Cave

guide

A ruined temple on the western coast holding the Artifact of the Hunter, second of Natrix's three artifacts.

The entrance is at 30.1 / 9.6, and there is water inside — Sarco and Piranha share the flooded stretches.

Hazards

Desmodus make their home here — bring light or a mount they cannot dismount you from.

What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 11

UnderwaterHeavy carnivoresGrabs and pinsArmour damageTorporAmbushSwarms

Piranha — Attacks in shoals the moment you enter the water, and does not stop.
Do not enter the water on foot. There is no gear answer, only a mount.
Sarco — Rolls a survivor in water and is fast on land as well.
Cave Minotaur — Heavy melee in a confined space — the cave's bruiser, fought mounted or not at all.
Desmodus — Grabs a survivor and drains health; it also disables your own creature's abilities nearby.
Megalosaurus — Active and aggressive at night, sluggish by day. Its bite grabs and pins a survivor, and it hits hard enough to end a cave run outright.
Run the cave in daylight where the cave's day/night cycle allows it. Do not use splash damage near one.
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.
Megalania — Climbs walls and ceilings, so it attacks from above where a mount cannot follow, and its bite applies a stacking torpor.
Check the ceiling. Stimulant for the torpor stacks.
Onyc — Attacks in numbers, drains stamina, and is small enough that most mounts cannot hit it.
A shotgun, or a pike on foot. They path erratically, so aimed single shots waste ammunition.

Not a threat: Dung Beetle
