Notes
- The entrance to the cave and the passage to the artifact is, mostly, accessible on foot. The path through the cave may require a Grappling Hook and jumping skills to gain access to the artifact, found on the way to the artifact. Taking a Climbing Pick and a Zip-Line Anchor with you would also be worth while, especially if you wish to take one or two Ravager with you.
- Another option is taking a Thylacoleo, then no climbing picks or ziplines are needed.
- It is possible to transport medium sized non-flyer tames in or out using the Cryopod.
