Cavern Checkpoint

Drain the Lake Cavern checkpoint: parkour routes, shark hazard, Deep Dive badge, and Mineshaft preparation.

Cavern Overview

The Cavern checkpoint introduces parkour and the shark hazard. Movement skills from the Skill Tree matter more than raw bucket DPS here. Getting caught by the shark awards the Plunge badge (20 Gems) — useful for the Ancient Bucket route.

Shark Hazard

The shark patrols underwater sections. Getting caught is annoying but grants a badge reward. After Update 1, watch for anglerfish in deeper water — read Lake Enemies and survival guide. Learn safe paths from the embedded Find Phone video guide and practice F teleport to recover drain position quickly.

Parkour Tips

Invest in Character speed before pushing deep into Cavern. Camera control on PC or mobile prevents fall retries that waste run time.

Badge: Deep Dive

Reaching Cavern unlocks Deep Dive for 60 Gems. Claim at the lobby Badges station per Badges page.

Toward Mineshaft

After stabilizing Cavern drainage, advance to Mineshaft where underwater work dominates. Mid-run Skill Tree is often nearing completion by community reports.

Extended Guide Notes

Cavern is the skill check that separates players who upgraded movement from those who only bought bucket capacity.
