The Lava Oasis Cave (more commonly referred to as Pearl Cave) is in the West of the Lava Biome of The Center. Despite its name, this cave has no lava. There are two main passageways, one of which leads to an Artifact. The  Artifact of the Hunter is down the right path through a submerged tunnel. The entrance is rather deceiving; bring a light source.

Dangers

  • Dangerous jumps and numerous cliffs
  • Poisonous and Hostile creatures
  • Tall grass and flora hindering players to spot threats on time

Recommended Equipment

Tips

  • Watch your footing; as soon as you enter the cave, there is a ravine into shallow waters. There are ravines throughout this cave.
  • Grappling Hooks are helpful to reach areas you otherwise could not.
