11 Overview

33 Caves are hidden exploration areas scattered throughout Pywel in Crimson Desert. They contain valuable loot including rare gear, Abyss Artifacts, Golden Palmar Pills, crafting materials, and ore deposits. Caves come in several types: Waterside Caves hidden behind waterfalls, Mountain Caves, Forest Caves, Painted Caverns with ancient murals, Frozen Caves, Gold Mines, and more.

55 To enter a Waterside Cave, approach the waterfall, stand at the water wall, then hold the heavy attack input and release to perform a Stab through the waterfall. Not all waterfalls hide caves; look for a platform and stacked stones near the entrance as indicators. Completing the Dragon's Stone Chamber Puzzle marks all waterfall cave locations on your map.

77 Waterside Caves

99 Waterside caves are hidden behind waterfalls and are the most common cave type. They contain treasure chests with rare items. Use the Stab technique to enter through the waterfall.
