What You'll Be Dealing With

assembled from what lives in this cave 4
Heavy carnivoresArmour damageTorporSwarms
  • Mantis — Uses whatever weapon it holds, so its damage depends on what it picked up, and it is fast.
  • 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.
  • 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: Achatina
