What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 7
Grabs and pinsArmour damageTorporAmbushSwarms
  • 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.
  • Titanomyrma — Swarms and applies a small amount of torpor per bite.
    Bug Repellant.
Not a threat: Achatina, Meganeura
