Cave horrors lurk within the depths of the Mos Le'Harmless Cave, awaiting brave adventurers seeking glory and rewards. To take on these formidable foes, players must first complete the Cabin Fever quest and possess a Slayer level of 58. Additionally, equipping a witchwood icon and ensuring a source of light are essential, unless the eternal light of a fire illuminates the surroundings. The rewards for vanquishing these creatures include coveted black mask drops and a respectable chance of obtaining hard clue scrolls.
A distinctive feature of cave horrors is their special attack, which inflicts damage equivalent to 10% of the player's base Hitpoints level, rounded down. This formidable assault can be mitigated by wearing a witchwood icon or completely neutralized by activating Protect from Melee. Utilizing protection prayers not only safeguards against harm but also allows players to utilize more potent necklaces, rendering the witchwood icon redundant due to its minimal bonuses. Moreover, the special attack possesses an unusual trait—it functions as an Area-of-Effect (AoE) attack in single-way combat areas, posing a threat to nearby players not engaged in combat. Alternatively, employing safespots can provide a measure of safety, although adventurers must exercise caution when venturing from their refuge to gather loot, as the cave horrors' aggression may lead to unexpected confrontations. Thus, even if Protect from Melee is unavailable, it is prudent to carry the witchwood icon for added protection.
Venturing into the lair of a cave horror also fulfills a task within the Hard Morytania Diary, offering additional incentives for daring slayers to test their mettle against these fearsome adversaries.
The future holds promising prospects for cave horror enthusiasts, with potential updates and expansions on the horizon. Whether through new quests, challenges, or rewards, the ever-evolving landscape of RuneScape ensures that the allure of conquering cave horrors remains as captivating as ever. As adventurers continue to hone their skills and unravel the mysteries of the game, the legacy of these formidable creatures is destined to endure, offering endless excitement and adventure for those brave enough to face them.
