Equip Rare Gear

Equip Rare Gear

Cave Rex is a tough adversary, so make sure you are equipped with at least Rare-tier gear, such as Cobalt or Adamantite weapons and armor, to make the fight more manageable.

Sword and Shield Combo

Cave Rex moves fast and hits hard, so trying to run away can be deadly. It’s best to fight it head-on by blocking its attacks with a shield and counterattacking with your sword.

Make sure to manage your stamina, as you will need it to continue blocking effectively throughout the fight.

Best Weapons Tier List

Use Weapon Ability

Cave Rex can take a lot of hits, which actually works to your advantage since it helps charge your weapon’s ability. Use your weapon ability as often as possible to deal significant damage during the fight.

Where to Find Cave Rex

Cave Rex Location

The Cave Rex can be found in an underground jungle beneath the Devastated Lands. These areas are usually accessible near mountains with lava formations, which often have openings that lead underground. The cave system below is large and jungle-like, featuring trees, plants, and a lake.

The exact location is randomized, so you will need to look for circular orange areas on the map around Devastated Lands.
