So on top of all of that, taking a squid down there can be a surefire way to tame both plesies and mosas without ever being in any real danger. plesies seem to need to go a little bit higher before they disengage, though there are still spots throughout the cave where this is possible to do (the oil area i mentioned before is one such spot). However, the mosas seem to have a 'disengage depth' that is deeper than the plesies, and it is possible to keep any mosa that spawns in there from aggroing on you if you swim up at the top of the cave.

This cave is, without any doubt, the best loot farm on this map.ĭo be careful, though, because at the very back of the cave it is possible for up to 3 large creatures to spawn at a time, as i have encountered plesies, mosas, and alpha mosas in that last room, sometimes all at once. I have pulled enough loot from this cave to fill several vaults to capacity, some items obviously better than others. setting up a base here can give you a spot to recover food or oxygen as well as stash some of your loot, in addition to giving access to a literal infinite supply of oil. however, close to the back of the cave (at a T-intersection) the right path will take you down a dead end where there is an absolutely obscene amount of oil, and no enemy spawns. in this particular cave there are no spots above water, so make sure you go in with a full food meter. also consider mindwiping for a high oxygen character, as this will help your mobility down there exponentially. And your oxygen meter at around 900 will last about 25-35% as long as a prim scuba tank (this is based on my estimation, no hard calculations), which means you can keep your tank on your mount and only use it to refill your oxygen meter when needed for drastically increased time spent down there without needing to surface. i pumped my imprinted squid's move speed to 250% and it outruns outswims everything down there no problem (while not close to as fast as a move speed-pumped ichthy, the tradeoff in durability invulnerability is well worth it imo). a high melee stat on the squid will also allow you to farm anglergel, bio toxin, black pearls, ammonite bile, and copious amounts of chitin, not to mention XP. you can also use C attack whenever off cooldown to get a 7-second move speed buff. with a good saddle on it, the squid quite simply owns the entire ocean. squid is by far the easiest way to get around down there as you cannot be dismounted from it by eels or jellies. all of which came from the underwater cave. I have found fab pistols, ARs, fab snipers, comp bows, pump shotguns, swords, and in one case even a longneck rifle ranging anywhere from 300 to over 700 percent damage, both prefabbed and as bps. I have found rex, giga, and squid saddles prefabbed and as bps over 300 armor.

the color of the loot crate becomes visible for a split second immediately after emptying the crate as it disappears, regardless of if you're wearing the mask or not. without the mask, red crates appear essentially colorless (just the mute grey of the actual crate itself), yellow crates appear green. I have been farming this cave for weeks now, and have a vacuum compartment base right outside of it now.Ĭrates down there spawn in all colors, but you won't be able to tell unless you're wearing a scuba mask.

There were originally Liquid, Crystal, Phantom, Zombie and Grand creatures on this map when it was still a mod.OP is 100% wrong, the submerged cave under the northern snow biome most certainly does spawn red crates.

Crystal Isles is the second mod map to bring a new Artifact.

Lost Island has the same size but it's more of an underwater adventure and Crystal Isles has more land mass due to the floating islands.

(Added up they are 154 square km) and larger than Ragnarok (144 square km), although Ragnarok likely has more land mass (unconfirmed)

Crystal Isles, at 150 square km, is nearly the same size as The Island, Scorched Earth, and The Center put together.

This is the 1st Free DLC Map to have an original boss as opposed to reusing old bosses, the Crystal Wyvern Queen.This is also the 3rd free DLC map to introduce a unique tamable variant of an existing DLC dino ( Crystal Wyvern), others being Ragnarok ( Ice Wyvern and Dire Polar Bear) and Valguero (with Chalk Golem and Ice Golem).This is the 3rd Free DLC Map to introduce a unique exclusive dino inside the map, others being Ragnarok (with Griffin) and Valguero (with Deinonychus).This is the 4th Free DLC Map originated from the mods, others being The Center, Ragnarok and Valguero.All Items from the base game, and most items from Scorched Earth and Aberration are available on Crystal Isles.
