Secret Cavern is a point of interest within Melandru's Hope in the Echovald Wilds.

Getting there

Front door (only if story is in progress or complete)

The front door is only accessible if the story step Empty is active, or if the previous story step To Catch a Spider is active and has progressed to the Cut off Ankka's avenue of escape stage. Follow the road south from Goa Village and look for a Strange Door to the east, then interact with it to enter the cavern.

Hidden entrance

If the relevant story step is not active, the cavern can still be accessed through a small gap high up in the wall. Head south from Goa Village and use your mounts to fly or climb up among the roots to the gap. Go through and drop down, then drop down again and glide into the cavern.

Rear door

Alternatively, to unlock the point of interest without having to get inside the cavern itself, one can run up to the southern exit door. There are two ways to access this:

• Head north from Teleri Village and follow the path into a cave. The path will fork; the left fork leads immediately to a wooden wall covered in leaves and bushes. Walk up to the door in this wall to unlock the point of interest.
• Search the northernmost point of Lake Lutgardis (just northeast of Hermit's Dock) until you spot an entrance to a water passage hidden under the roots. Follow this passage until you reach a dock with a chest, then enter the land passage straight ahead. When you reach a fork in the path, turn right and you will see the door.

Notes

• The southern door cannot be used to enter the secret cavern; however, it does function as an exit.
• The western door can only be used as such while the necessary story step (see above) is active. You cannot unlock the PoI by running up to this door from the outside.
• The Jade Lantern for this point of interest is located atop the airship inside the cavern.
