Enhanced with detailed stat analysis, waterfall cave context section, expanded overview, and tips
Echoing Waves Cave is a hidden waterfall cave in the far south of the Hernand region. The cave gets its name from the rhythmic crashing of water against the rock walls, which produces a deep, resonant echo that reverberates through the narrow passage. The southern location makes it one of the more remote waterfall caves in Hernand, requiring some travel off the main roads to reach.
Inside, you will find the Sunset Reed Leather Armor, a well-rounded body armor piece that provides solid defense alongside useful mobility and elemental bonuses.
Item | Type | Key Stats |
|---|---|---|
10 DEF, Movement Speed Lv. 1, Lightning Resistance Lv. 1, Stamina Regen +2% |
With 10 Defense, this is one of the higher-defense armor pieces found in waterfall caves. The Movement Speed Lv. 1 bonus improves Kliff's movement during combat and exploration, while Lightning Resistance Lv. 1 provides protection against lightning-element attacks. The +2% Stamina Regen boost helps recover Stamina faster, which is important for dodging, sprinting, and using skills like Stab.
Look for the stone cairn near the waterfall in the far south of Hernand. Use the Stab technique (RB + Y on controller, or Shift + Right Click on mouse and keyboard) to push through the waterfall and enter the cave. The treasure chest is inside.
Throughout Pywel, many waterfalls conceal hidden caves behind their curtain of water. These secret locations are known as Waterside Caves. Players can discover them by completing large environmental puzzles, which reward a key item that reveals the locations of hidden places, usually waterfall caves around the map. A small stone cairn placed near the base of a waterfall is the telltale sign that a cave exists behind it.
To enter a waterfall cave, use the Stab technique (RB + Y on controller, or Shift + Right Click on mouse and keyboard) while facing the waterfall. Walking directly into the waterfall without using Stab will knock Kliff backward and deal damage. Once inside, loot the treasure chest to collect the cave's unique equipment reward.
At 10 DEF, the Sunset Reed Leather Armor is one of the strongest defensive body armor pieces available from waterfall caves.
The +2% Stamina Regen is a passive bonus that benefits every aspect of gameplay, from dodging to sprinting to skill usage.
Lightning Resistance Lv. 1 is useful when facing enemies that use electrical attacks, particularly in the mid-game.
This cave is located far south in Hernand, so plan your trip to include other nearby points of interest.
Waterside Cave loot does not respawn. Each cave can only be looted once per playthrough.
