Cave question to newbies like me.

Question about the first cave down south in map 'Island'.

I am level 105 and i had my Carno level 255 with me. We where jumped by big group of 10-15 spiders and snakes and killed. Is this the way it should be?

And please don't give me your "superman story" about how you handled the whole Island in 1 hit. :-)

Yes, caves have large groups of creatures in tight spaces. I recommend a baryonx

Yes Bary for the win in many caves

Caves can be a pain. you tend to get swarmed with creatures that can go well over the max level for the map.
I tend to bring a swarm of Dimorphs with my mount.. and in ASA now that we can pick up structures i also bring a few pillars and wall parts to control the flow of creatures at each choke point (if i can get it built in advance .. sometimes no luck)

A bary is a good cave mount for most caves (jump + swim + attack) and small enough to fit thru most spots.

caves are more or less the mid to late game content. they can be really problematic, especially if you are heading into them without a lvl 220+ dino at your side. My personal fave is the baryonyx followed by a thyla... one thing you may want to also do is check your settings and make sure you have single player mode checked. this has the effect of supercharging your tames...which is quite helpful
