Caves and equipment
Map and Compass
The Map and Compass make surface orientation and repeat cave trips easier to manage.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Map and Compass
Cave 2, Hanging Cave, near the hanging bodies and early supply area.
Before you go
- A rope descent into Cave 2.
- A light source for the cave passage.
- A weapon and healing in case of encounters.
Farming steps
- Find the surface entrance to Cave 2 and descend into the early passage.
- Move through the first section toward the hanging bodies and nearby supply area.
- Search this early area for the Map and Compass rather than pushing on to the separate Modern Axe stash room first.
- Pick up both navigation items and confirm they are available in your inventory.
- Use the compass to orient yourself as you return through the cave to the entrance.
- On the surface, open the map and use it to understand where you have explored before planning another cave trip.
- Remember that the Modern Axe is in another Cave 2 room, so collecting these tools does not complete the axe search.
- Take a moment to check your direction after surfacing; the tools are most useful when you use them during travel.
Repeat, collect and use
One-time pickup. The Map and Compass stay with the player; later visits are for navigation or other cave loot.
Common mistakes
- Searching the axe stash for navigation items: collect these in Cave 2’s early hanging-body area.
- Leaving one of the two tools behind: check for both before retreating.
- Entering with no light: prepare for the descent so you can find the early section and return.
When to stop or switch
Stop searching once you have both tools and a clear path back to the entrance.
