What to bring

Read from the files, not from play: each line says which marker or entrance it comes from.

  • Rebreather

    1 entrance is a swim-in and 8 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.

  • Climbing Axe

    1 entrance is marked climb-in in the files. The files do not say what the climb takes; the Climbing Axe is the game's climbing tool.

  • Items for the weight door

    The files place 5 pressure-plate item slots on a weight door in this cave. What they take is not stated there.

    See the slots on the map →

  • A weapon you trust

    Up to 10 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.
