The Cave

guide

The Gloom Grove Temple is a ruin in the Lost Island DLC.

This ruin contains both the Artifact of the Devious and the Artifact of the Massive, both are needed to summon the Dinopithecus King (Alpha).

Hazards

  • Tranq Arrow Traps that will of course inflict torpor. Can be avoided by going prone or sprinting past them.
  • Poison Grenade and Smoke Grenade traps triggered by an pressure plate, the latter does nothing except obstruct vision.
  • Pressure Plates that will spawn an variety of enemies on the unfortunate victim. Best to crouch around them as this lowers your point of view making them to easier to spot and harder to accidentally sprint into.

What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 5
Armour damageTorporSwarms
  • 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.
  • 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
