Oldskool Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 This cave has really been stepped up since I last cleared it. I mean, a few months back it had allot of enemies and high level ones at that, but now its just insane. I went in and the first corridor had 8 or 9 dunks, all mate boosted and around lv 270-290. My basilo aint exactly a pushover, hes imprinted with 40k health an just over 800% melee, but wow! Them dunks were chewing on my whale like the giant pink sasuage he is. Killed about 6 of them an had to flee as my health went under 5k and I didnt wanna risk it. Im guessing brute force is required ie. a couple of badass mossys on follow with a couple of whales. Just a heads up to any lone survivors that are thinkin they are breazing through the sea encounters, watch out in that cave you can soon get overwhelmed! Epic cave tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic cave tho Last time I was in there (post patch) it ended In a rescue mission for my bred mosa/whale combo (50k each) after a net D.C. on my end. Ended up with 3 whales and a mosa running out of that place bloody with a busted tank. It was ...interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubeDragon Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 brute force isnt always required i have seen/ heard of people only using a kibble tamed ichy with lvls on speed.. try to come at problems form a diffrent side than just brute force. more on the solo side thats how i fix my problems.

Gafgarion Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Dunno i fine with it. I dont do it Solo since all the Eels and Jellys in. Cant use Mosa anymore there because of them. So i do it with my Tribemate with 2 Tusos. Lot faster than with Basilos. Probably a good Tuso can handle it solo too if there wasnt the problem that each little **** Stuck Tuso.

Wazzamaniac Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I do it with my basilo that has 350 dmg or so and 40k hp. Just dont aggro the dunks. If you do, rise to the top of the cave and they de-aggro. Then go back down and they should be passive. Not sure what randomly makes them angry, but they won't immediately attack you again after that My biggest concern is the entrance room, because there are usually like 8 sharks there. If one of them turns out to be alpha, I'd suggest not trying to brute force it. Alternatively, now that eels don't dismount, you could use a mosa, just mind the jellyfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldMcKekers Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 relatively easy if you strap a bunch of c4 on to a couple icthys and send them into a group of stuff and detonate it... Auto missile turrets on the backs of pleasis work great too. If your trying to brute force it take toos and things that can kill a lot of stuff that arent toos, because they cant fit into the end of the cave... then your set.

RoyHess666 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I've seen people swimming into them caves with cactus broth, insect spray and ghilie suit minus chestpiece (for tank). Came out unharmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BertNoobians Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 the cave is far to easy now with basilo's. you are never in any danger, the lvl of the wild animals should be upped to 450 or 600. or bring back mosas and tusos or more alphas so we dont fall asleep in here.

AparajitaStormhoof Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Cactus Broth is the most effective method imho. I run the cave constantly, usually don't die at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memy Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have had 3 basilos die instantly when I get to the entrance not being attacked at all. Anyone have that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuggie Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I think Bert is downplaying it a little bit, but from the perspective of an old pro I can see his point of view. What I like about this cave is the semi-random spawn pattern. Sometimes you go in there and you blow right through it. Sometimes you go in and there is 100 sharks charging at you after you aggro an alpha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durbinhaze Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 all you need is cactus broth, grappling hooks and a couple sets of prim scuba. Better scuba of course helps. Just don't touch any animals and you'll breeze right through it. I run both underwater caves with no tames. Constant search for them flak/saddle bps boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
