Modern Axe
The Modern Axe is a durable all-purpose tool that improves later chopping and gives you a dependable melee option while exploring.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Modern Axe
Cave 2, Hanging Cave, in the hidden stash room beyond the early Map and Compass area.
Before you go
- Rope and a light source for navigating Cave 2.
- Healing items and a usable weapon for cave encounters.
Farming steps
- Locate the surface entrance to Cave 2 and descend into the cave.
- Search the early hanging-body and supply area for the Map and Compass if you have not collected them.
- Continue along the cave route toward the hidden stash room rather than treating the early supply area as the axe location.
- Search the body and storage area in the stash room and pick up the Modern Axe.
- Check the room for useful nearby supplies, then retrace your route to the entrance.
- Equip the axe on the surface and use it for subsequent tree and resource runs.
- Mark or remember the distinction between the early navigation loot and the separate axe stash room.
- Carry enough healing to leave the cave safely; the weapon is most useful after you return to the surface.
Repeat, collect and use
One-time pickup. The axe remains in your inventory; repeat cave trips are for other supplies, not another axe.
Common mistakes
- Leaving after finding the Map and Compass: continue to the separate stash room for the axe.
- Entering without light or healing: prepare before descending so you can retreat after collecting it.
- Assuming the pickup is a renewable material source: plan future trips around other cave loot.
When to stop or switch
Stop searching once the Modern Axe is in your inventory and you have a clear route back to the surface.
