Lower Caves are the natural caverns and tunnels that don't reach all the way up to Lower Underrail nor all the way down to Deep Caverns.

Description

The only initially accessible part of caves is a nondescript cavernous area between Mushroom Cove and Junkyard. Consists of four zones; a waterfront tunnel, two cavernous areas with some ruined shacks and buildings to the west and Siphoner Pools. One more small area becomes accessible during Abram's quest Free Maura. Some azuridae and rathounds can be found lurking in the waterfront tunnel between Junkyard and Mushroom Cove. Further to west, hostile junkyard thugs can be found in a ruined shack and wounded Cliff in a ruined building further to south.

Once the player gets access to TNT Charges, cave passages blocked by rocks can be opened. This opens many new cave exploration possibilities, mainly Hathor caves east of Crossroad Watch. The cave tunnels between Mushroom Cove and Junkyard may contain entrances to random dungeons.

Areas

Junkyard tunnels

These caves are the tunnels leading to Junkyard, west of South Gate Station and northwest of Mushroom Cove.

Junkyard tunnels 1

Junkyard tunnels 2

Junkyard tunnels 3

Junkyard tunnels 4

  • Cliff is on the west side of the area and the quest giver for Save Jenny
  • If your game includes the random dungeon Water Treatment Facility, the facility can be reached with the southeast exit
  • In the southeast broken buiding, one of the lockers requires 40 Lockpicking to open

Junkyard tunnels 5

Caves south of SGS

These caves are situated to the south of Mushroom Cove and Crossroad Caves. TNT Charges or Jackhammer are required to enter.

Caves 1

Caves 2

  • The northern exit leads to area Caves 1

Caves 4


Caves north of SGS

The caves between South Gate Outposts and the bottom level of GMS compound. SGS's old rival Omega used to move through these caves. Part of the caves is accessible from the bottom level of GMS, but TNT Charges or Jackhammer are required to enter some of them.

Caves 10
