Cave Details & Hazards – Aberration ASA
1. Old Railway Cave
Artifact: Depths
Entrances: 48.3, 27.2
Artifact Coordinates: 51.2, 23.8
Hazards: Narrow walkways, vertical drops, and waterfall ledges waiting to ruin your day.
Gear: Climbing picks, light pet, and a reliable grappling setup.
Notes: Short but stressful — expect close quarters and sheer cliffs. Great for early artifact runs if you can handle the tension.
2. Hidden Grotto
Artifact: Shadows
Entrances: 55.2, 65.9
Artifact Coordinates: 50.2, 72.6
Hazards: Deep vertical shafts, pitch-black tunnels, and frequent Nameless ambushes.
Gear: SCUBA or Lazarus Chowder, parachutes, zip-lines, climbing picks, and a Bulbdog.
Notes: Feels more like an abyss than a cave. Watch your footing and light levels — losing your glowpet here is a death sentence.
3. Elemental Vault (Red Zone)
Artifact: Stalker
Entrances: 81.0, 47.0
Artifact Coordinates: 91.7, 51.3
Hazards: Constant radiation, tight ledges, and aggressive Red Zone predators including Megalosaurs and Carnotaurus.
Gear: Full Hazard Suit or Mushroom Brew, Rock Drake, climbing picks, and backup brews.
Notes: The hardest cave on Aberration — pure chaos. Bring a Rock Drake or don’t bother. If you survive a full run here, you’ve officially ascended from noob status.
Notes: For players who think “relaxing dive” means “fight everything in the ocean.”
Notes: Final dungeon before Ascension. Save this for endgame.
