Locate the Cave

Your adventure starts in the northeast part of the island. Look for a cave entrance north of a small circular lake and just northeast of the snowy mountain area. This entrance is unique—a mere hole among rocks—making it slightly more challenging to find than others.

Dive into the Depths

2. Take a Dip: Head left from the Air Tank, diving into the pool. Navigate through the narrow underwater passage, moving past skeletal remains.

3. Crawl and Climb: Surface and climb the rocks, crouching under the top one to access the area below. Here, you'll need to break through boards to advance further into the cave.

Path to the Artifact
The adventure continues as you venture deeper:
- Encounter with the Past: Upon breaking the boards, you'll immediately find two skeletons. Look for a blueprint near the right one.
- Descend Further: A hole in the ground leads to a rope. Climb down to discover what lies beneath.

- Navigate the Pit: After crouching under another rock, you'll cross a pit adorned with hanging skeletons. Continue straight, bypassing the pit and the left path leading to a dead end filled with loot.

- Final Steps: Push through an area marked with crosses, then take a left to find another rope leading down to the artifact's resting place.
