The Lost Cave

Up the cliffs to the left of the Taiga entrance.

The Lost Cave is a dark maze under the Snow Peninsula and the Taiga. Its entrance is a small square rock on top of the cliffs beside the Taiga road. Inside are two things worth the climb: the Skeleton, and the Strange Man, who sells the ability to build with ease.

What to bring

  • Worklights, more than one. The cave is pitch black even at midday, and a light left at each turn shows the way back. (Switching one on.)
  • Three sticks of dynamite: one for the rock over the entrance, one for the block on the pillar deeper in, one to get out.
  • A long plank to climb the cliff to the entrance, and to climb walls inside.
  • A friend, if you can. Someone to hold a light or a plank makes every climb easier.

Getting in

Lean the long plank against the rocks left of the Taiga entrance and climb it; some players climb the Pine trees instead. On top is a square rock like the one in the Swamp. Blow it up with dynamite, stand well back, and drop down the hole.

During The Hunt the way in was made easier: a truss up the cliff, the rock cleared away and a red light along the path. If you find the truss gone, use the plank and dynamite.

Inside

The main room
You land beside a huge stalagmite that reaches the ceiling. Ladders on its side lead back up and out, unless the rock over the entrance has sealed itself again.
The first corridor, and the Skeleton
The left branch bends right past several dead ends. At its far end, up on the left, sits the Skeleton, the one whose permission opened the Purple Bags in the Glorbaxe quest.
The second corridor
The larger branch on the right, reached along the main room’s ledge, winds to a room with a pillar and a staircase around it. At the top is a pit with a block in it: light dynamite in the pit, then plank your way up to the gap beyond.
The Strange Man’s den
Past one more wall that needs a plank, a tunnel turns right into a room lit purple, with two floating purple flames. The ledge at the entrance is glitchy: in a laggy server a plank can sink into it and stick.

The Strange Man’s offer

He offers the power to build with ease for $10,009,000, the most expensive thing in the game. Say yes with enough money and you get Easy Building on the save slot you are playing, and the Blueprint Manager icon turns from blue to gold soon after. It covers that one slot only, and overwriting the slot loses it; the Super Blueprints gamepass gives the same power on all six slots for 720 Robux. Without the money he sends you away to come back when you can pay.
