Due to the map being expanded and not being finalised, the  GPS coords shown in the video no longer sync with the wiki coords.

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.
