Divinity Original Sin 2 Dark Cavern Walkthrough

Okay, let's talk about that Dark Cavern in Divinity: Original Sin 2. You know, the one that's…dark? And cavern-y?

First Steps into the Gloom

The thing is, you stumble upon it, maybe by accident, while poking around Fort Joy. Don't worry about spoilers here, the game world encourages exploration!

Suddenly you are no longer on the beach, but instead inside a dingy cavern. It's often more like "Oops, where am I?" than a grand strategic entrance.

The Crocodiles, Oh My!

Prepare for the Crocodiles. Big, snappy, teleporting, fire-breathing... well, maybe not *fire-breathing*, but they're definitely jerks.

These aren't your average swamp lizards. They can teleport, which is honestly rude. And they hit like a truck driven by an angry goblin.

Pro-tip: elevation is your friend. Find some high ground and rain death upon them. That, or cheese them with tactical retreat.

Gaining a Friend

If you're lucky (or thorough), you'll find a friendly tortoise locked up. Freeing him is a good deed, trust me.

This turtle named Amy is more than just a shelled pal. He can help you discover a hidden area. Talk about a shell shock!

He'll even offer some surprisingly insightful advice, proving that even turtles have wisdom to share.

Exploring the Hidden Alcove

Following Amy's lead, you discover a secret area. It's like finding an extra scoop of ice cream at the bottom of your cone.

It might be hard to see it since the cavern is so dark. This could be a good time to use a torch or other light source!

Here you'll encounter some more challenges, maybe some voidwoken nasties or a puzzle. It's all part of the fun!

Finding Loot

Of course, the real reason we explore any dark cavern is the loot! Who doesn't love a shiny new trinket?

Expect to find some decent gear here, maybe a new weapon or some armor that'll boost your stats. Keep your eyes peeled for hidden chests too!

Just remember to check for traps! No one wants to accidentally trigger a poison gas cloud.

Saying Goodbye

After you've plundered everything (ethically, of course), it's time to leave the cavern. A little wiser, a little richer, and hopefully with all your limbs still attached.

Bid farewell to Amy the tortoise, he's probably tired of you asking him to carry your burdens anyway. His reward is his freedom!

The Dark Cavern is a microcosm of what makes Divinity: Original Sin 2 so special. It's about exploring, surprising encounters, and finding joy in the unexpected.

So, the next time you're wandering around Fort Joy, don't be afraid to poke around that gloomy cave. You never know what treasures (or grumpy crocodiles) you might find. Happy adventuring!
