How to get in and out
From the surface: Chasm Cave → Sinkhole Cave. This cave has no entrance of its own; you enter Chasm Cave and follow the passages.
No surface entrance is placed for this cave in the files.
The files also hold 1 entry or exit trigger near this cave (x 92, z -153, height -299); what each one does is not stated there.
What to bring
Read from the files, not from play: each line says which marker or entrance it comes from.
Rebreather
3 Air Canisters lie inside. The game describes the Rebreather as "Swim further underwater" and the Air Canister as "Refills rebreather". The files do not give how deep or how long the swim is.

A weapon you trust
Up to 67 enemies are placed here; the toughest type is the Armsy with 200 health on Normal. The enemy page lists hits to kill with each weapon.
