The Upper S Cave is a cavern to the north of the swamp on The Island. The cavern contains the Artifact of the Pack, needed to summon the Megapithecus. This large cave was considered one of the hardest caves prior to the Snow Cavern and Swamp Cave, added in PC Update v252.0. The Mammoth and Lystrosaurus dossiers can be found here, as well equally Helena Note #11.

Tips [ ]

A very big part of the cavern is underwater. You will probable need three-five points in oxygen or Lazarus chowder to get through the underwater parts. Note that the water is cold.
If yous are planning to use a SCUBA Tank to cross the water sections, it is advised to bring along more than one. If you get dismounted the Piranha and Sarco will cause it to break very quickly.
Bring a Baryonyx. It is surprisingly skilful for this cave as an exceptional swimmer, and can fend off Piranha and Sarco with ease using RMB assail.
Follow the green glowing moss on the floor in the tunnel that will lead you to the artifact.

Compatible Tamed Creatures [ ]

Now that Cryopods are very piece of cake to obtain (available on every map, crafted in supply drops) information technology'southward possible to bring in every creature in whatever cavern, as long as the area is big enough to deploy said creature. This is not going to be assessed in the CTC table.

This cave contains multiple bottleneck points which deny many creatures to access. The first one will foreclose creature from engaging any cave creatures. The 2d one is later on a cliff and the first spawn location, and climbers can bypass information technology by jumping downward and climbing dorsum. The chance of drowning in the underwater tunnel is not assessed.

This tabular array is incomplete.
You lot tin can assist us past adding the tamed creatures y'all know can enter the cave. If the animate being can't enter, please exclude it.

The main path will direct y'all in front end of a lake at the bottom of the cave. There is a shortcut on the correct-hand side cliff which is attainable via Grappling Claw and climbers, leading to the Artifact sleeping accommodation.
At that place'due south a glitch to kill piranhas by tricking them to go above water.
