How to find it

The entrance is at map coordinates -3005, 1635, near Tama Pond and Nat’s camp outside the cave. Look for the overgrown hollow in the grassy hillside.

Inside the cave

Enter the thorny tunnel

Walk into the hollow on the hillside. Thorns line the tunnel, so keep your distance from them and light your way with the Brightbloom Seeds or Brightcaps growing in the cave.

Defeat the Horriblin and open the Feathered Spear chest

A Silver Horriblin drops from the ceiling in the passage. Shoot it down or fight it, then open the chest in the side passage for a Feathered Spear.

Burn the thorns for the Frostbite Shirt

At the back of the cave a shrine-like alcove is walled in by thorns. Burn them with a Fire Fruit, a flame weapon or a fire arrow, then open the chest for the Frostbite Shirt, which gives cold resistance.

Shoot the Bubbulfrog

Past the alcove, a Bubbulfrog clings above a cluster of Luminous Stones. Shoot it and pick up the Bubbul Gem, then collect the Brightcaps and Luminous Stone beside it.
