The Secret Cave added in the Igris update is one of those locations that the game doesn’t really point you toward. There’s no obvious quest marker, no loud announcement, nothing that screams “hey, come here for new gear.” It’s tucked away on the map in a spot you could easily run past without realizing there’s anything important nearby. But once you actually know where to look, getting there is pretty straightforward.
The main reason players want this cave is simple: it’s currently one of the key places to obtain the new armor sets and swords introduced in the update. The cave isn’t just a loot room either — it’s tied to a small challenge encounter that you’ll need to complete before you can claim rewards.
Reaching the Secret Cave Location
To find the cave, you need to head toward the outer area of the main map rather than sticking to the central hubs or dungeon entrances. Start by moving toward the upper section of the map, then continue traveling deeper toward the back edge. You’ll know you’re heading in the right direction because the terrain starts to feel more empty and isolated compared to the busy leveling zones.
Once you get close enough, open your map to confirm your positioning. From there, you’ll need to move further toward the rear boundary until you spot a cave entrance built into the landscape. It’s not glowing or marked with effects — it just looks like a normal cave at first glance, which is why many players miss it.
The actual “secret cave” area begins once you climb upward inside this entrance rather than going straight forward. That vertical movement is what triggers the challenge zone.
What Happens Inside the Cave
When you reach the correct spot inside, you’ll see a prompt asking whether you want to start a challenge. This is essentially a wave-defense style encounter where enemies spawn in groups, and you need to survive while defeating them.
The challenge isn’t overly complicated mechanically, but it can become difficult if other players are already running it at the same time. Since it’s a shared activity, you might arrive and find someone else already fighting through waves, which means you’ll have to wait.
That’s why many players recommend doing this in a private server if possible. It avoids interruptions and lets you start the challenge immediately.
Rewards You Can Get
After successfully completing the waves, you’ll receive rewards tied to the new update content. These include newly added armor pieces and swords. The exact drops may not always be guaranteed every run, so you might need to repeat the challenge multiple times if you’re targeting a specific item.
Still, compared to other farming methods in the update, this cave is considered one of the more efficient ways to access new gear early.
Why This Location Matters
Beyond just loot, the cave is part of the broader direction the update is taking. It shows how the game is starting to include more hidden challenge zones rather than putting everything in obvious dungeon portals. Players who explore more thoroughly will naturally find advantages, which adds a bit more depth to progression instead of everything being straightforward grinding.
And honestly, that’s why the cave feels satisfying to discover — it’s not handed to you. You actually have to look for it.
