⚠️Cave B. Part 1

Locations of Cross, Mail about Solafite vein

🚩Cave Entrance

It’s dark, but if you look around, there are some items and some raw meat. If you want to use it as a snack while exploring the cave, I recommend grilling it here and then going inside.

To ensure safe gameplay, I recommend pitching a tarp tent here and saving the game.

☠️Puffies in large square

There are puffies scattered here and there in what looks like a large square. You can also test out various weapons for practice while looking down from where the flare bag is.

Mutants are set to not be able to reach the location of this bag, so you can kill them one by one, testing whatever you want, whether it’s a modern axe, a crafted spear, or an arrow.

In most cases, when you first come to this cave, there are about 5 Puffies here, but it also depends on how many days of survival there are, and the developers change the criteria every time, so I’m not sure how they change depending on the number of days of survival. However, beyond the 7th day of survival, the number of mutants increases.

If you hold the crafted spear and right-click, you can aim and throw it with the left click to perform a long-distance attack. As shown below, there is usually a mutant standing or sitting on the left wall where the bag is located.

When Puffy is thrown into a bonfire, it burns and produces bones, so it can be used to make bone armor. Fingers and Twins, which can obtain Creepy armor, do not burn.

✝️Cross, etc.

When you come down, there are crosses, laptops, various ammunition, and other items in the red circle with lights as shown in the screenshot below.

As soon as you come down, look to your right and there is a gap down there. If you look at the torch, there is a rope going down on the right as shown below. There are no monsters down here, so you can go down with confidence.

There is a rope that leads down to where the Artifacts is.

⛏️Artifacts 3

If you go down the rope and follow the path to the right, you will come to an area blocked by wooden boards, as shown on the right in the screenshot below. If you break through here and enter, there will be a rope and if you go down,

A map showing the direction of the artifacts and the first boarded area leading to the artifacts.

There are two paths through the water. The X on the left below is below the place we just passed, As shown on the right, the side with a few boards on the floor is the direction where the relic is located. If you dive and go straight,

Diving sections in the direction where the artifacts are and in the direction where the artifacts are not.

The situation is as follows. There are some items like cans, and if you break the shaking planks, there will be no problem. You can just think of it as advertising that there are artifacts here.

Entrance to where the artifacts in Cave B are located

If you go down the road, you will find the third artifacts below in the center. After you get it, you can go back to the square.

📄Mail (FYI, This is what we are looking for)

The note in front of the worker who fell in front of the road leading to the side includes a photo of Solarite and “FYI, This is what we are looking for,” the email reads.

💥Sticky Bomb, 🐌Sluggy

There is a sticky bomb in front of the sluggy blocking the path. However, if you have grenades, I recommend using grenades or explosive arrows.

Sticky bombs are not easy to obtain materials for, and you can only carry three by default, but they are useful weapons in the final battle, so unless you can make them at any time, it is better to save them.

I checked and found that arrows can also destroy sluggy. If you shoot 18 3D printed arrows, the sluggy will explode like a bomb.

Choose between sticky bombs and grenades, and block the sluggy.

☠️Puffies, 🎯Sniper position

6–1. 4 Puffies
6–2. A place where you can safely shoot an arrow

Safe sniping positions and locations of mutants

To safely kill mutants, use the wall torch at position 6–2 as shown in the screenshot below. After luring them this way, you can look down from the red circled position and snipe them with an arrow. Sometimes, there are those that come up, but most of them cannot.

A place where you can relatively safely shoot down mutants with arrows.

Looking down at the situation from the sniper position, now eat some snacks, recharge your stamina, carry the torch to the location where number 8 Fingers is, then come here and wait for a while.

It’s not a weapon you might have at this point, but I’ve been testing it out with shock 3D printed arrows. The lethality of the arrow itself is the same, except that when struck by a shock arrow, the mutant will shiver for a moment. Puffy can be defeated with 5 shots with 3D printed arrows or 5 shots with shock 3D printed arrows.
