The Crystal Caves serve as the only entrance to the Fabricator Caverns as well as the location of the Crystal Caves Cache. It can be accessed from the Deep Purple Vents or Marguerit Maida's Base.

Description

The Crystal Caves are a large, rocky cave system dominated by large purple crystals mainly protruding from the cave ceiling and floor. Shadow Leviathans patrol the caves, increasing the threat level of the area. Many large fissures are present throughout the cave system located in the deep trenches in the area. These fissures are dominated by Large Resource Deposits of valuable resources such as Kyanite or Gold, and lack any lifeforms.

Inside this biome is a location dubbed the Crystal Castle. This area has an increased amount of Bladderfish and Hoopfish compared to the rest of the Crystal Caves. The Crystal Castle is the route to the Crystal Caves Cache.
