What makes this cave different

Haunting caverns populated by cult-like creatures and interdependent wildlife. The true danger is not just darkness but the unusual rituals of their inhabitants.

What to look for

Underzealots can burrow, destroy light sources and perform rituals involving local flying creatures. Gloomoths and other inhabitants form a distinctive ecosystem.

How to prepare

Do not rely on torches alone. Watch the ground and grouped Underzealots; avoid prolonged fights in narrow tunnels where burrowing enemies can surround you.

Resources and rewards

Dark Tatters and rare items associated with shadowy creatures and rituals.
