the first cave
hi everyone! today i randomly decided to do my first cave. it came out of nowhere. i was just bored and since i’ve never done a cave before, i thought it would be a good idea to try it. and i’m not gonna lie, i was kinda scared.
here’s what happened in a short summary!
since it was my first time, i didn’t know what to bring and how much of it. did some research on an ark website. i also looked through some creatures that spawn in the cave.
i did the cave of the south by the way! it’s the easiest cave on the island and contains the artifact of the strong.
i went with my baryonyx! he (nerva) is one of the best dinos i have and also is a good caving dino.
flew with my argy and bary on the back to the cave. i have watched youtubers doing caves so i knew how it worked.
once in, i immediately had a lot of fun. the dinos were mostly spiders and they were really easy. some scorpions too and saw around three snakes and luckily only one arthropleura.
got kinda lost the first time lol. i did have the map of the cave nearby so eventually i did find the artifact!
i got the artifact without any problems and got out as well!
finally something that i didn’t fail at hopelessly!
went to tribute the artifact. i loved doing it. i’ve never been it before so it was quite special. obviously it was the easiest cave so i didn’t expect loot that was too good. i got three blueprints, one for a metal pickaxe, a metal hatchet and some hide gloves. i haven’t checked it out very well yet tho.
i’m just really happy i did this. it’s way easier than i thought and i’m glad i did it. will definitely do another and harder cave soon! :)
thanks for reading!
