Singleplayer south cave

[Bluelightning3]

Which creature would be best to use to go in the cave Direwolf, Sabertooth, Bary? Also if you have any tips for caving. Will be much appreciated.

I used a saber, he was good. The cave has arthropleura so take hide armor or something you can repair on the fly ( or take lots of spares).

if you have the ability to bring in a velonasaur from extinction and it will make any cave easy.

General tip for caving (I have no idea what map you're on, but assume Island)

There is nothing better than crafted spikes. Slap them down, with spaces between, step into the space, aggro a mob, step behind the spike.

Edited note: relative to the cost of obtaining the resources vs. taming a dino. YMMV depending on your servers settings and mods.

phlingerphoo has a good video on the caves. the bary is the best dino (that you can find on the island anyway) to bring in the first few caves.

You didn’t mention which map you are on but my first intuition is Island. Also which south cave? Lower south or upper south? Their difficulties are different.

Lower south is super easy, you can beat even on foot, so doesn’t matter which dino you bring.

Upper south is a bit tricky, it has several long water paths so bary is preferable. Remember to bring scuba gear.

I personally prefer bary over other creatures, not only its traversability due to its thin size but also the speedy healing when killing fish if you can manage to find water pools. I can manage to beat every cave on the island (except those underwaters and snow cave) with a high level bary.

Out of the 10 caves on the Island, a high level imprinted baryonyx can clear 6 of them (barring the snow cave, 2 underwater caves and skylord cave which needs to be done on foot). I prefer to do the death island cave on a thyla as it doesn't take fall damage, but that still makes half the caves on the map which are done on a bary.

Thanks I will make sure to get a Bary. I found a higher level Direbear that I was gonna use as my tank. But the Bary would be really helpful for the water parts. If it the Island and I was gonna start off with the Lower South.
