How to get the Cavern Key?

The Cavern Key is only available in the Rise of the Giant content. In order to grab the key, you’ll have to search for it before you start a run. Refer to the steps below to get the key.

  • First off, grab your favourite weapons in the Prisoner’s Quarters as you will be tackling a bunch of monsters along the way
  • Head to the adjacent room and locate a big hole in the wall. The hole acts as a passage to the gateway
  • After entering the hole, search for the lava pit which is the main pathway that leads to the door
  • By now, you must have unlocked the Disengagement Rune. Use it to turn the locks and activate switches
  • Carefully, hop onto the other side of the door to nab the Cavern Key

Note that, the Disengagement Rune unlocks after completing certain tasks in the previous area.
