Great vid Llama, really enjoy it 👌 After watching your vid, this cave doesn't look so scary any more. And basy wagging its tail in speed up part was so funny to watch 😂
I’m glad you enjoyed it but I would caution that the spawns in this cave can be pretty random in density, 3 sequential runs through the same cave on the same server can be very different levels of difficulty. As I said a number of times gooooo sloooow and if it’s looking too overpopulated then run away and try again another time lol
Good video, I need to explore this cave some more. I usually just swim in and grab the artifact and leave. I just discovered that you can literally swim by everything if you just drink some cactus broth first. Except for the server I’m on at the moment, the cave of the brute is over spawning like crazy and there are swarms of like 60 megs at once. But if you haven’t tried cactus broth yet, try it, it made my life way easier in the under water world.
Yes the cactus broth is a good method, most of my cave videos were recorded before transfers opened on official servers so it wasn’t an option but I had used it on ASE.
It got a annoying herding them all, and I had to use a tracker to go around and find a few of the lost ones as i was leaving. But I rode a Basilo in with a pack of 12 sharks in basic saddles. Like two of them took pretty heavy damage, but they all shredded everything in the cave while I sat back relaxing and watching it all.
I'm doing the Underwater Caves with a Sarco. Those things are so fast, sh... doesn't have time to spawn in properly. Also you can always take a break on land if necessary. It's somewhat important to note that I'm on Singleplayer. So that cave only loads when I'm in render distance.
On single player I advise caution if your bass is built in proximity to this cave as I had dinos fall through the map after returning from this one. And it's because my base was built above where the cave is. The terrain loses collision and so your dinos fall right through. Had to use the ghost command and some cryopods to get them back since there is an invisible water layer they were swimming on preventing them from tp back up. The ocean dino spawns also seem to be very messed up in single player. I hardly ever see any jellyfish. Basilosoaruses are rare and duncleos have stopped spawning period as of the latest update with the center. I'm on the island by the way.
Sorry to hear that. I assume you are on single player, this is a known issue, you can try re-logging while in there but everything in the artifact chamber will probably respawn too
@@uptightllama Yeah i'm on Singleplayer. It pissed me off so I exited the game to do something else. When I came back I decided to try again and sure enough it was there.
There are a few in there, that’s why I take the basilo, they are immune to the sting. Tbh I’d be more concerned about the new fish, xiphactinus, since they’ve dropped the water caves seem teeming with them
Yah - since most of our players have moved to the other maps - island on our server is way overspawned in all the caves. I took a GREAT basi in here. Was working my way through the megs/dunkies slowly and was doing ok. A pack of like 15 xi swarmed me and shredded the basi in like 30 seconds. I missed the Cnidaria note the 2 other times I did that cave and it’s the last note I’m missing except for in tek cave/overseer. 😬
the cavern of lost hope in asa on the island is now near impossible to do solo and any Dino? Because of the high level high level xiphactinus swarms I have lost 3 Basi all with over 60k hp and over 600 mele. Mind you I only went in with one Basi at a time which is how I used to clear the cave solo in ASE. I just started playing ASA a few months ago, and I am beginning to wonder how in the world I can do the caverns of lost Hope solo? Anyone have some ideas?
Yeah, i havent done this cave since but ive seen the spawns in there and the xi spawns are crazy. Maybe mate boosted basis and a couple of good baryonyx to stun the xis? That would be my suggestion but I havent tried it, they do shred tames quickly

Yeah when I get time I want to revisit this cave, xi spawns are crazy, might try this strategy
I thought there were 4 notes?
A Helena Dossier, a Rockwell Dossier, a Mey Yin one, and then an actual dino dossier?
On ASE there used to be, on ASA the Rockwell note isnt there anymore, its been relocated up on land so only 3 notes in this cave now
@@uptightllama Nifty thank you
There’s also a Rockwell note in the artifact room
On evolved yes, not on ascended though
Ahhhhh ok gotcha, less I gotta grab from this cave then

The pathing is a nightmare, but 8 pack boosted decent Megaladons shred through these, even in the overspawned single player version.
Great. The artifact isn't spawning for me.

I've heard this cave is loaded with Cnidarias but I haven't see it. Did you have any luck?

@@uptightllama those Xiphactinus are nasty.

Did you ever figure out a way? I cant do water caves any more because of the xiphs.
use a good bary and you have a mount for the water and the land part. ez.^^
