Descend through the cave, use ladders and lifts to reach lower passages, collect the route items, and avoid bats, rocks, falling hazards, and lethal drops. The character is vulnerable and has limited air or life resources, so progress depends on controlled movement rather than rushing toward the bottom.

Strategy
Watch the air gauge and hazard cycle before leaving a safe ledge, use flares or other tools when the route requires them, and avoid a jump whose landing is not visible. Memorize the cave layout, keep a recovery route open, and save before a difficult descent when supported.
