When it says *_Required Items_* when showing the entrance locations on the map. What it means is you will need those items to explore the cave. Bascially, if you enter from the rope entrance you will NEED the climbing axe and if you choose to exit through the diving hole you'll be better off using the rebreather to see. These will also be included in future videos.
If we're doing these caves in order, we don't have the climbing axe to backtrack through this cave to exit where we entered, is that correct? Would you say the best way out is to head through the Dead Cave?
you can since the cannibals should be dead if you're doing it in order and it would put you a bit closer to the next cave but it would probably be faster to exit the cave as quick as possible and B-line straight to the next one.
