The Cave

guide

Holds the Artifact of the Skylord, third of the Hydraskos artifacts, in the frozen far north-east of the map.

The entrance is at 2.4 / 97.6, in the Snow Forests. It is an ice cave with an ice cave's population — Yeti included.

Hazards

The snow biome around the entrance is cold enough to need insulation before you ever reach the cave.
Yeti hit far harder than anything else on the way in.

Recommended Equipment

Fur Armor, or the food buffs that replace it.

What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 4

Heavy carnivoresAmbushCold

Direwolf — Hunts in packs and gets a damage bonus for pack size, so the fifth wolf hurts more than the first.
Fight in a corridor where only one can reach you.
Polar Bear — High health and damage, and untameable.
Yeti — A Megapithecus variant: high damage, throws you, and untameable.
Purlovia — Buries itself and ambushes from under the ground, applying torpor on the first hit.
Watch the floor for the mound. It cannot follow once you are past it.
