Caves and village progress
Advance Through Cave Darkness Gates
Opening cave chambers through darkness and tool gates reveals deeper routes and resource deposits needed for later progression.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Advance Through Cave Darkness Gates
Cave chambers along the route from the valley entrance toward deeper rooms.
Before you go
- Access to the Cave entrance and the blocked chamber route.
- Light suited to the darkness gate.
- Any tool requirement displayed by the route or chamber.
- Inventory space and supplies appropriate to cave exploration.
Farming steps
- Enter the Cave and explore the accessible chamber until you reach a darkness or tool barrier.
- Read the gate condition and identify what preparation is missing.
- Return to the village to obtain the required light or tool rather than pushing into an unmet gate.
- Re-enter the Cave and follow opened paths toward the barrier.
- Meet the displayed requirement and proceed into the newly accessible chamber.
- Inspect the chamber for hazards and exposed resource deposits before leaving.
- Collect accessible materials with the appropriate tool and note any further gate.
- Cave progression is chamber-based; access to a deeper room does not mean every route beyond it is open.
- Collect useful exposed materials while already in the new room, but do not assume a guaranteed deposit.
Repeat, collect and use
Opening a darkness gate is a one-time progression step for that route. Returning to opened chambers to collect available resources can be repeated as needed.
Common mistakes
- Trying to force a gate without its requirement: prepare the displayed light or tool first.
- Rushing past a newly opened chamber: inspect for hazards and materials.
- Assuming one gate opens every cave route: check each barrier separately.
When to stop or switch
Stop advancing when the next gate requires preparation you do not have; return after obtaining it, or finish the current resource collection before leaving.
