Enemies Edit

• Bandits
• Larva Crab Worms
• Skags

The Lost Cave contains two difficult skag fights. The first fight occurs on the right of the first intersection available. This fight can have up to six Alpha Skags, and two Badass Elemental Skags. Alpha Skags and Badass Alphas can be some of the most difficult enemies in the beginning of the game, due to the lack of powerful weaponry. Note that the skags and Larva Crab Worms are hostile to each other, and there are several worm spawns close to this intersection. The other fight, located at the very end of the tunnel, is most definitely the hardest skag fight, with eight Alpha Skags and possibly four Badass Elemental Skags. These spawns can vary and when played solo the numbers of Badass Shock Skags may be nonexistent.

If significantly leveled enough, the Larva Crab Worms are not much of a threat. WIth their forward facing and highly vulnerable weakpoint (their eye), they should not be too difficult to defeat. However, players under level 15 may have difficulty defeating the crab worms. It's possible to gauge the difficulty of this area by attempting to kill the first few crab worms encountered, and coming back later if it was too difficult.

The bandits are found towards the latter parts of the cave, but before the final skag fight. Though not nearly as difficult to kill as the skags, they attack in fairly large numbers and from long range, making them an obstacle, if not a threat.

Notes Edit

• The crab worms present in the Lost Cave are exceptionally vulnerable to critical hits, yield high experience rewards, and respawn regularly, making this an excellent area to grind from about level 14 to level 19.
• Shock Crystal Harvest and the Claptrap rescue both need to be completed for Made in Fyrestone console achievement.
