Walkthrough
Entrance
This cave has the imposing monster skull over its entrance. It’s found just off the road to the East of the Lucky Clover Gazette.
Exploring the Cave
Just inside the cave, you will want to move to either side of the ledge in front of you. The ice on the front of the ledge will stop Link from climbing up it. But this is because it’s slippery. Having an Elixir or equipment to counter that will allow you to climb it. But you can also jump onto the ice and climb up the middle of it. It’s possible to climb up the icy walls, but it has a much higher stamina cost.
On this ledge, you can find an Ore Deposit or more mushrooms. There’s another, much taller, wall to the West that you need to get up to continue exploring this cave. Again, with slip resistance, you can go straight up the ice. Otherwise, you will want to go to either side of the ice and climb up along the wall.
